Amelia Gray Hamlin Shocks With ‘unrecognizable’ Transformation At Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show

She was named Model of the Year last year, so it was no surprise to see Amelia Gray Hamlin making her debut at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show on Wednesday.

However, many viewers were stunned by how much the 24-year-old’s appearance has transformed over time.

Amelia, who is the daughter of actors Harry Hamlin and Add Chestlooked much different on the runway compared to when she first graced the small screen as a fresh-faced teenager on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

The brunette’s once plump cheeks are now hollowed out to match her sculpted jawline, and her lips are far plumper than they once were.

Her role in the annual fashion show drew a mixed reception online, with one person writing, ‘I miss when Victoria’s Secret models were natural looking.’

‘She is absolutely gorgeous,’ wrote another, while a third added, ‘Her face card is undefeated!’

‘Looks unnatural and like she’s trying too hard,’ said a fourth, while another wrote, ‘Lisa Rinna is definitely her mother – I can definitely see her changing her face.’

Another fan defended Hamlin from trolls, commenting, ‘It’s always middle-aged, jowl sagging bints that comment negativity under these posts. She’s stunning.’

Proud mom Rinna took to social media after the show to congratulate Amelia on all of her success.

‘Your dream since you were about eight years old was to walk in the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show and yesterday that dream came true!!!!!’ she gushed.

‘Your hard work and perseverance is unmatched and truly amazing to watch, you set your mind to something and you do it. You do not second-guess yourself. You do not think am I pretty enough? Am I tall enough? etc. etc. etc. you just do it and it is remarkable to watch,’ she continued.

‘You are a master manifester and congratulations to you my love – you did it!!!! So proud of you!’

Aesthetic physician Dr. Jennifer Armstrong, who has never treated Hamlin, believes that she’s ‘definitely had plastic surgery’ to achieve her incredible looks.

‘It’s pretty clear that she’s had a rhinoplasty and lip lift,’ the Newport-based injector told the Daily Mail when asked to give her opinion on before-and-after images of the model.

‘Her cheeks could be surgical or non-surgical – either cheek filler or implants. Her lower face is less heavy but wider via chin reshaping and jawline filler,’ she continued.

‘Then obviously lip filler. She’s a beautiful girl but she has had a few tweaks to put her on the runway.’

Daily Mail has reached out for comment.

While Hamlin has never admitted to cosmetic surgery, she did go under the knife at 16 for a breast reduction for medical reasons after contracting strep from a nipple piercing.

Since her physical transformation, Hamlin has become one of the biggest forces in fashion and modeling.

Last year, she was crowned Model of the Year at the Daily Front Row Fashion L.A. Awards.

Hamlin has also become a Vogue favorite, covering Vogue Spain, Japan, Korea, and Arabia.

She’s also fronted high fashion campaigns for Givenchy, Balenciaga, Miu Miu, Jean Paul Gaultier, and Valentino.

Her older sister Delilah Belle is also a model who has worked with H&M, Michael Kors, Boohoo, and Skims.

Outside of modelling, Amelia is also working on an acting career, with a role in the upcoming Devil Wears Prada 2.

The 2025 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show was dominated by a flood of new facesmany of them the offspring of famous A-listers.

Along with Amelia, nepo babies Lila Moss, 23, and Iris Law, 24, stole the show and signaled a major generational shift on the runway.

Amelia strutted her stuff in two sizzling looks. She flaunted her slim frame in a bold crystal-encrusted lingerie, before switching to red hot backless metallic mini dress.

Lila, who is the daughter of supermodel Kate Moss, put on a leggy display in a grey long-sleeved leotard.

Meanwhile the daughter of Jude Law and Sadie Frost, Iris, made her Victoria’s Secret debut in a ‘naughty-ish’ look.
