Hold on to your hats, darlings, because Lisa Rinna just pulled a vanishing act on the red carpet, emerging as a platinum bombshell we almost didn't recognize!

The former soap star and reality TV queen shut down the 2025 British Fashion Awards on Monday, not just attending, but *owning* the scene as the personal guest of designer Maximilian Raynor.

And what a collaboration it was! Raynor’s sculptural creation hugged Rinna's figure, but it was the drastic beauty overhaul that truly made jaws drop.

Gone was the signature brunette bob; in its place, a gravity-defying, bleached-blonde bouffant, courtesy of hair guru Sam Elliot. And the eyebrows? Vanished! Erased! A bold, bleached blank canvas.

The ensemble itself was a masterpiece of monochrome madness: a gingham plaid in stark black and white, boasting dramatic, sky-high shoulders and a peplum waist that flowed into a fringed skirt.

"It’s head-to-toe couture, honey!" Rinna exclaimed to The Perfect Magazine, radiating confidence. "It is couture, but it’s couture made to me…for me, by him," she purred, gesturing to the man of the hour, Raynor.

But before the red carpet frenzy, 10 Magazine snagged an exclusive peek behind the scenes, chatting with Rinna and Raynor about the look and the significance of the evening.

"For me, someone who is in LA…to come to the British Fashion Awards is so iconic," Rinna confessed, clearly thrilled to be across the pond for the prestigious event.

Dare we say she threw some shade at a certain NYC gala? "It’s like…better than the Met Gala," she whispered, adding with a touch of humor, "I said it! I think it’s chicer than the Met Gala. Only…I’ve never been…but I would still like to do."

Raynor, the mastermind behind the magic, described the custom couture creation as "drama, glamour, LA meets London…sort of, like, vampish meets midcentury."

And that bleached bouffant? Pure retro-glam perfection, adding the perfect touch of vintage vamp to the overall aesthetic.

Raynor elaborated on the design's origins, explaining, "It’s in this amazing check that’s kind of like your granddad’s shirt, but taken and elevated. It’s really an exploration of that, but fused with the women’s textiles of Maximilian Raynor."

Let's be real, Lisa Rinna is no stranger to a bold fashion statement. After all, this wasn’t the first time she's ditched her brunette locks for a more experimental hue.

Remember the Viktor & Rolf Haute Couture show in Paris last summer? Viktor & Rolf Haute Couture fall 2025 show in Paris. There she was, rocking a similar oversized-shoulder trench coat and bleached (almost purple!) bouffant. Talk about commitment to a look!

The designer himself was bursting with pride, sharing, "I’m very excited for Lisa to be the first to wear it."

But did Rinna's daring fashion choice hit the mark, or was it a miss? Some fashion critics are calling it a triumph, praising her willingness to push boundaries. Others? Not so much.

One thing’s for sure: Lisa Rinna knows how to make an entrance. And she doesn't care what the haters think!

Whether you love it or hate it, Rinna’s fashion metamorphosis proves she’s still got the power to surprise, shock, and spark a global conversation. So, is this the dawn of a new platinum era for Lisa Rinna?

Only time (and the next red carpet appearance) will tell.
