Lisa Rinna’s daughter, Amelia Gray Hamlin, is making a name for herself in the fashion world. Since her runway debut in 2018 at Dennis Basso’s show, Amelia has walked for top luxury houses including Chanel, Miu Miu, Versace, Givenchy, and even graced the Victoria’s Secret stage. Her hard work and resilience were recognized in 2024 when she became Daily Front Row’s Model of the Year, a milestone she described as “mind-blowing.”
Beyond fashion, Amelia has bravely shared her recovery from an eating disorder, using her platform to advocate for body positivity and wellness. Unfortunately, many of her followers grew worried after her Instagram post in August 2025. The post includes several photos and videos of Amelia having fun on the beach, including posing nearly nude in the sand. One particular photo that captured fan attention shows the model sitting and leaning over her knees while topless, showing the muscles and bones in her back.
“Not to body shame girl but you look like you may need some help [sic],” one follower commented.
“Wow. Both sisters need help. It’s so scary,” another fan wrote. “I hope their mom is watching over them.”
“When ‘body positivity’ means overlooking eating disorders, we need to reevaluate,” yet another fan commented. “It is mental. Not physical.”
