Reality TV star Lisa Rinna, 61, known for her unapologetic persona and bold social media presence, sparked conversations yet again by sharing a provocative selfie on New Year's Eve. The former *Real Housewives of Beverly Hills* star posted an Instagram story featuring herself disrobed, strategically covering her modesty with star emojis and a "2025 Happy New Year" sticker. The caption, "Out with the Old, In with the New," reflected her characteristic flair for dramatic declarations.
This isn't the first time Rinna has embraced such audacious posts. In July, she celebrated her 61st birthday by sharing a similarly bold image, attributing her confidence to embracing her age. Speaking to *Cosmopolitan* earlier in the year, Rinna stated, "At 60, I am so much more confident than I was at 30. Everything I've gone through has brought me to this point where I don't need anyone's approval." Her commitment to self-expression has made her a polarizing figure among fans and critics alike.
Rinna welcomed 2025 with her husband, actor Harry Hamlin, and their daughters, Delilah Belle, 26, and Amelia Gray, 23, at a tropical destination. Hamlin chose a more traditional approach to his New Year's post, teasing a new product from his pasta sauce line, Harry's Famous Sauces, in a promotional video. Meanwhile, their daughters shared lighthearted clips of the family celebrating with cake and humor.
The reality star's consistent posting of risqué selfies has earned her a mix of admiration and backlash. Supporters commend her for challenging age-related stereotypes and promoting body positivity, while detractors criticize her for seeking attention. Rinna remains unfazed by the polarized opinions, explaining to *Cosmopolitan*, "I don't need your approval. I'm going to do whatever makes me happy."
This pattern of controversy is emblematic of Rinna's broader public persona. From her tenure on *RHOBH*, marked by fiery feuds and memorable moments, to her recent social media escapades, she has cultivated a reputation for living unapologetically. Despite occasional criticism, her influence within the entertainment world remains undeniable, as she continuously redefines societal expectations of age, confidence, and self-expression.
Rinna's New Year's post once again emphasizes her refusal to conform, sparking important conversations about body image and personal freedom. As she steps into 2025, her unwavering confidence is a testament to her resilience and individuality. Whether loved or loathed, Rinna's ability to dominate headlines ensures her relevance in an ever-evolving entertainment landscape.
