Lisa Rinna Feels 'Unstoppable' with Career Renaissance and Modeling Gigs at 60: 'You Can Keep Going' (Exclusive) (2024)

Lisa Rinna turned her career as a reality star into one as a model, actor and entrepreneur all in the span of one year — and she’s not slowing down.

The Mommy Meanest actress, 60, exited Real Housewives of Beverly Hills in January 2023, but her career has only taken off since. She quickly started drawing attention through her bold fashion choices at Fashion Weeks across the world and dove headfirst into her beauty line, Rinna Beauty.

Now, she’s graced the cover of Cosmopolitan and is starring in Lifetime’s Mommy Meanest alongside her eldest daughter Delilah Belle Hamlin. She is also the star of a Marc Jacobs campaign for Mother’s Day with her youngest daughter, Amelia Gray Hamlin — all at 60 years old.

"That's what's so interesting is I never would've thought that this would be happening in my life, and in my career at 60,” she tells PEOPLE. “But I think there's a reason for it. I'm out here doing this to show people that you can do it. That we don't stop at 60, that you can keep going.”

In fact, Rinna is just getting started, she says. Next up, she is manifesting a TV series for herself, as well as more modeling opportunities, having just signed with an agency. However, she mainly seeks to continue inspiring people to make their dreams a reality, regardless of their age.

“I think I'm unstoppable. I think I can do pretty much whatever I want to do,” she says. “And I think everybody is unstoppable, and everyone can do what they want to do. You just got to believe it, manifest it and say, ‘I'm going to do this.’ ”

In addition to her burgeoning TV and modeling career, Rinna has also continued expanding Rinna Beauty, launching her first eye product, Bright Eyes Refreshing Under Eye Gel Cooling Patches, $28, on April 10.

The gel patches have natural antioxidants that help strengthen and repair the skin to reduce puffiness and dark circles. But, most importantly to Rinna, they’re not slimy or wet, instead, they are sticky and stay in their place while cooling under eyes.

“I wanted it to have really anti-puffing, dark circles, nourishing, for your lines,” Rinna says. “I wanted a little cooling in there, so you could either put them in the freezer, the fridge, whatever. You can do whatever you want. But I wanted them easy, and I wanted them simple.”

The patches were born out of Rinna’s desire to keep Rinna Beauty as authentic to herself as possible. So, when she realized she was using eye patches daily, it only made sense to launch her own.

“I used, and have tried, a lot of them. And we were like, ‘We should make some,’ ” she says. “And that's the kind of stuff that just comes out of my being in this business for so long, and using things that work. And I was like, ‘I know exactly what I love in an eye patch, let's make one.’ ”

For Rinna, beauty means “being your authentic self,” and Rinna Beauty is an extension of her goal to help women reach that. She encourages women to treat themselves, even if that means just buying a new lipstick. “It’s okay to celebrate yourself” with something fun that brightens their day, she says.

Rinna Beauty has been her way of spreading that message and making sure women have options when it comes to their self-care routine.

“[Rinna Beauty] is very much who I am, and it's the way I express myself, and it's true to myself,” she says. “And I think the more you can be true to yourself and authentic, the better you feel.”

Rinna continues, “And it's all about feeling good. And I've always said this. The better you feel, the nicer you're going to be, the more grateful you are.”
