It looks as if Lisa Rinna may have traveled to to The Upside Down for her latest makeover.
The former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star turned it out at Paris Fashion Week by debuting a fearless new hairstyle that appeared to draw inspiration from Netflix‘s blockbuster hit series Stranger Things.
Prior to attending the Vivienne Westwood Fall 2023 Ready-to-Wear show, Rinna shared a photo of herself rocking a belted floral jacket, purple shimmering leggings, and a pair of black platform boots.

While the ensemble was very on trend, it was the reality star’s severely banged bowl cut that had the internet making direct comparisons to Will Byers on Stranger Things, portrayed by 2023 Queerties winner for Closet Door Bustdown Noah Schnapp.
Let’s take a look at the Real Housewives connection to the future queer prince of Hawkins, Indiana:

Others weren’t sold on Rinna’s homage to Joyce Byers’ youngest son and believed her hairstyle was referencing other LGBTQ+ icons of the world, including some Drag Race legends.
Here’s a sampling of other possible inspirations for Rinna’s coiffure:

For those that may not recall, the “berries and cream” comment is in reference to the viral 2007 Starbust commercial which received new love thanks to TikTok in 2021. In the ad, actor Jack Ferver dons a period costume with a Rinna style do to promote the candy’s Berries & Creme flavor.

While Rinna has not responded to the unexpected buzz her new ‘do has received, the haters can rest assured knowing they won’t have to see it much longer.
The very next day, the 59-year-old actress continued to hit up Fashion Week events but with her tresses back to their trademark style.
Almost immediately, world order was restored!

MANSUMM
I totally agree. You beat me to it!

I was thinking Dorothy Hamill

No. It’s Mireille Mathieu, the powerhouse French popular music singer of the 1960’s

it’s obviously just a wig. Twitter is a wasteland for people who have absolutely nothing to do with their time besides jump on ridiculous trends and repeat the same “jokes” over and over.

A) Looks like a cheap wig.
B) If Rinna has any more plastic surgery/filler insertion/collagen injections into that face she’ll look even worse than Cher or Gloria Vanderbilt. She’s already a total GARGOYLE.

Very 1979!

She is unwell, in my opinion, totally addicted to botox and lip injections and plastic surgery, Before we and Harry Hamlin know it, she will look as bizarre and forever ruined as Donatella Versace or some of the other plastic surgery addicts, Janice Whats-her-name, and now Madonna, among others. The doctors who obviously just do what those women ask for, no matter how ruinous, only for the cash payout, should be arrested and charged with disfigurement.
