Amelia Hamlin Debuts An Extreme New Look At Her Most Recent Photoshoot
Amelia Gray Hamlin isn't just the daughter of "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star Lisa Rinna and actor Harry Hamlin — and she shed the "girlfriend of" descriptor when she dumped Scott Disick in 2021, according to People. While she was bearing the weight of reality show fame and dating Lord Disick, she was also busy pursuing a modeling career. Gray was 16 when she signed with IMG Models in 2017, per W magazine, and she walked in her first New York Fashion Week show that same year, according to Bravo.
Despite these accomplishments, Gray admittedly found it hard not to compare her success to others in the same lane. The daughters of her mom's former "RHOBH" costar Yolanda Hadid, Gigi and Bella Hadid, and "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" star Kendall Jenner are examples of other reality star offspring who have launched successful modeling careers. On "The Skinny Confidential Him & Her Podcast," Gray recalled a friend telling her to quit measuring herself against Kylie Jenner. "I just think it's really hard being compared to situations that I'm not close to, and I'm working very hard to get to," Gray confessed.
One way she seeks to distinguish herself from other models with sizable Instagram followings is to focus on the artistry of her profession. Recently, she proved just how far she is willing to go for the sake of her art by sacrificing one of her most distinctive features.
Amelia Gray Hamlin bid adieu to her eyebrows
Amelia Gray's Instagram followers are used to seeing her with full, dark eyebrows, but for a photo shoot with Interview magazine, she allowed them to get shaved off. The outlet captured the moment her eyebrows were removed for a TikTok video, and Hamlin appeared to have no regrets about the transformation. "I felt them go," she said. "I've really been wanting to shave them." She previously embraced the eyebrow-less look during Paris Fashion Week. However, in photos she shared on Instagram, her brows appeared bleached and covered with makeup — giving her a preview of the longer-lasting look she'd soon be sporting. For the Balenciaga show, she also rocked fake piercings all over her face, making her almost unrecognizable.
Gray isn't the first celeb to experiment with the eyebrow-free look. As noted by People, Doja Cat and Madonna have shaved theirs off. From the sounds of it, Gray wouldn't mind finding herself in the company of such stylish creatives known for being edgy and innovative. The model told V Magazine that she moved to New York City because she was yearning for a source of creative inspiration, and she soon discovered that conformity is not her thing. "I thrive off of creativity, and that's what I need in order to flourish and really truly be me," Gray said. "No box really defines me, and that's okay. I like that; I like being original."
