Amelia Gray, daughter of Real Housewives and Days of Our Lives alum Lisa Rinna, strutted her stuff at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Week with what has since been dubbed a “cheeky” look.
While Gray, whose actual surname is Hamlin, was the only model to show that much skin on the ramp, her mother seemed impressed with her performance and took to social media to applaud her daughter.
Highlights
- Amelia Gray walked the Victoria’s Secret runway in a revealing outfit.
- Lisa Rinna praised her daughter’s performance and reposted it on Instagram.
- Online commenters criticized Gray’s walk and exposure.
The sentiment among fans, however, is not as convincing, with many taking issue with her overly revealing attire.
Amelia Gray took to the Victoria's Secret ramp barely clothed, with a marching gait

The 24-year-old donned a semi-transparent net-like long sleeve that covered (we use the term loosely) her front and adhered to her curves as she put effort into a stride that saw one knee eclipse the other with every step she took.
The movement reverberated through her entire body, causing her shoulders to roll in a rhythm that seemed to be disconnected from her marching gait.

The audience could be heard cheering as she stopped for a pose before spinning, flicking her hair, and walking back down the ramp.
If the front of the garment fell short in its responsibility as a clothing item to cover, then the back failed dismally.
Lisa Rinna was particularly impressed with her daughter’s unclothed derriere
Gray’s back was exposed from bridge to keel and, bar a skimpy number of underwear, left nothing to the imagination.
But on she marched for Victoria’s Secret, not at all deterred by her lack of clothes, even as the cheers diminished to a few isolated calls of encouragement.
It appears that Gray’s 62-year-old mother was perfectly fine with the performance—in fact, more so with what had become exposed when she showed off her derriere.
Fans were not as impressed

“Let’s hear it for the back of the dress!” Rinna wrote, before claiming that her daughter “took the runway by storm.”
The first comment to Rinna’s Instagram encore was a criticism.
“Sorry, babe, the walk needs some work,” wrote the netizen. The quip generated 110 comments in a sub-thread, at least one of which was in defense of Gray.
There was some support for Gray’s runway antics, but it was drowned out by the dissent
“Why don’t you teach her,” the fan, empathetic to Gray's performance, wrote. “The audacity of telling that to a model that’s walked for almost all big fashion houses for years,” they slammed the models critics.
But it appeared that the internet’s dislike for Gray’s gait was overwhelming, and another commenter echoed: “You can’t tell me that you think that walk looks good. It doesn’t seem normal.”
“Really agree, my granddaughter can walk better than that!” wrote another.

Irrespective of what the public thinks, Gray is living her dreams.
Her sister Delilah Belle confirmed as much when she commented:
“Watching you make your dreams come true will never get old.”
“We used to watch this show together and dream... can’t wait to be on this runway together,” she said, per People.
The 24-year-old’s mother is an influential name in fashion
Gray’s career is reported to have taken flight when she was still in college, and she now has credits with Harper’s Bazaar, Vogue, Homme Girls, Perfect Magazine, W Magazine, CR Fashion Book, Dazed, and Document Journal.
Her runway repertoire includes Max Mara, Fendi, Stella McCartney, Roberto Cavalli, Michael Kors, Coperni, Chanel, and of recent, Victoria’s Secret, for whom she was modeling on October 15.

Her mother is said to have used her influence in Hollywood to leverage her way into the fashion industry and establish her standing, The Lisa Rinna Collection.

Gray’s father is Harry Hamlin, best known for his roles in Clash of the Titans (1981), L.A. Law (1986–1991), and Mad Men (2007-2015).
Gray has no illusions about being a nepo baby and told Vogue (via Harper’s Bazaar) that she is grateful for it.
