Reality TV has quietly become the new catwalk for celebrity kids looking to break into the modeling world. First came Kendall Jenner, who grew up in front of the cameras on Keeping Up with the Kardashians. Then we met Bella, Gigi, and Anwar Hadid, thanks to their mom Yolanda’s stint on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
Of course, the rise of “nepo babies” in entertainment has sparked plenty of conversation—and more than a few eye rolls. But like it or not, when someone’s got striking looks and millions of social media followers, it’s no surprise they’d take a shot at the spotlight. If the stage is already set, why not step into it?
That brings us to Amelia Gray Hamlin. Her mother, Lisa Rinna, also made her mark on Real Housewives, introducing the gorgeous Amelia to the world along the way. Now 24, Amelia has confidently stepped out on her own, and the fashion industry is taking notice. With top runway shows, high-profile magazine covers, and major campaigns under her belt, she’s proving she’s not just riding the reality TV wave—she’s making her own.
Who is Amelia Gray Hamlin
Amelia Gray Hamlin—who goes by just Amelia Gray professionally—is an American model and TV personality who’s quickly become a fashion world favorite. She’s strutted her stuff for some of the biggest names in the industry and graced the covers of international editions of Harper’s Bazaar and Vogue, as well as Homme Girls, Perfect Magazine, W Magazine, CR Fashion Book, Dazed, and Document Journal—basically, if it’s glossy and high fashion, she’s probably been in it.
On the runway, Amelia’s walked for a dream list of designers including Max Mara, Fendi, Stella McCartney, Roberto Cavalli, Michael Kors, Coperni, Chanel, and Victoria’s Secret. Off the catwalk, she’s fronted campaigns for brands like Vivienne Westwood, Miu Miu, Courrèges, H&M, Givenchy, and Versace. In short, Amelia isn’t just showing up—she’s showing out.
Her Early Life
Amelia Gray Hamlin was born on June 13, 2001, in Los Angeles—a city where fame is practically in the water. She grew up in a family already well-versed in the spotlight. Her dad, Harry Hamlin, is an actor whose résumé spans everything from Mad Men and Clash of the Titans to Shameless and Veronica Mars. Her mom, Lisa Rinna, made waves as Billie Reed on Days of Our Lives long before she was stirring up drama on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
Amelia isn’t the only model in the family either—her older sister, Delilah Belle Hamlin, has also made a name for herself in fashion. And rounding out the sibling set is older half-brother Dimitri Alexander, from Harry Hamlin’s previous relationship. In short, showbiz runs deep in the Hamlin household.
Career Journey
Amelia Gray has known she wanted to model since she was five years old—and she’s not shy about saying so. “Almost every girl’s story is, ‘I was walking down the street and someone scouted me, but mine is the complete opposite. I scouted everyone else. I already knew this is what I wanted to do. I have no idea why.”
By high school, Amelia had already built a strong following on Instagram, and in April 2017, at just 15, she signed with IMG Models. That same year, she made her runway debut at Dennis Basso’s Spring/Summer 2018 show, marking the official start of her fashion career.
She’s also refreshingly honest about her background. Amelia has no problem acknowledging the role her famous parents played in opening doors. “I’m well aware of the fact that I’m a nepo baby,” she said, adding that she’s “extremely grateful for that.”
In 2020, she traded the California sunshine for New York City to study nutrition, wellness, and psychology at The New School. But before long, modeling took center stage, and she decided to leave college to pursue it full-time.
Five years later, that leap has paid off. With her dark, smoldering looks and effortlessly edgy style, Amelia has become one of the most sought-after faces in fashion—and she’s just getting started.
Facts and Trivia
In 2018, Amelia Gray opened up about a deeply personal chapter of her life, revealing on Instagram that she had struggled with anorexia. She posted a photo of herself from the year before—wearing a white bikini—at what she described as her unhealthiest point.
“My mom knew I looked unhealthy, and she didn’t want me to open myself up to a flood of public shaming from the internet. I think that’s ultimately why I used that photo—it was taken at one of my worst moments, and it showed just how far I’d come.”
The post quickly went viral, sparking an outpouring of support and honest conversations about the pressures women and girls face around beauty and body image. The dialogue only grew louder a year later when her struggle was shared on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, bringing even more visibility to an issue that’s often hidden behind filters and fashion.
Her Body Measurements
Amelia stands 5 feet, 9.5 inches, and she rocks a lithe 32-24-34 figure.
