Some things – like Lisa Rinna's iconic one liners – never change. However, what seemingly does is her once trademark hairstyle. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star has yet again switched up her classic 'do for something a little bit more punk rock. Enter: the faux-hawk.
Living out our (yes, this is a collective memory) Y2K 'Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair' dream, the actor took Paris Fashion Week by storm having styled her shaggy pixie cut into a spikey mohican. Proving that it's a look worth every tile on the 'Gram, Lisa took to her feed with three separate posts.
Below is the first of three shared most recently:
I'm sure we can all agree when I say that she is ✨the moment✨.
Next up we have a side shot, showing off Lisa's hair length in all its punk rock glory. Not to mention she's posing alongside fellow legends, Charli XCX and Christine Quinn. Iconic, really.
And finally, here's the original carousel post which includes eight shots of Lisa herself. Swipe through the below to gauge just how stunning the style really is.
Now, judging by her previous hair switcheroo, our guess is that Lisa's hairstylist wouldn't have gone in with the scissors but instead, used an abundant amount of styling product to keep the lengths up and defying gravity.
Our favourite product to do so and one that we recommend for a long-lasting hold is the KMS Conscious Style Styling Putty, £19.05.
Now be gone, for there's no time like the present to live out your long-lost Sandi Thom fantasy... just make sure to recreate this hairstyle when doing so.
