Amelia Gray Hamlin stepped out in Los Angeles this week wearing a crop top that declared her own headline.
The model, 25, was photographed Wednesday grabbing an iced matcha in a cropped Re/Done tee emblazoned with “Local Celebrity” in bold red type. She paired the cheeky shirt with tiny Alo shorts, a Chanel bowling bag, Tom Ford sunglasses and dark socks with slides.
The brunette’s abs were the real star of the sidewalk sighting, which came weeks after she earned actual wings on a much bigger stage. Hamlin walked the 2026 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show in Los Angeles last month, modeling two looks including a baby blue lingerie set with fluffy white wings and a neon lace bra with matching sheer mesh crop top and micro-miniskirt.
“🪽IM AN ANGEL I HAVE WINGS🪽🎀,” she captioned Instagram photos post-show. “I love being an angel!!!! I’m the luckiest girl in the world!!!💖🪽.”
The milestone booking capped a banner year for the second-generation star. Hamlin has graced recent issues of Vogue France, V and Allure, and fronted campaigns for Gucci, Alo and DKNY. She also appeared in one of Kim Kardashian’s star-studded Skims campaigns, modeling the businesswoman’s best-selling Ultimate T-Shirt Bra.
Hamlin has been notably transparent about the work behind her camera-ready appearance. “I’ve always had these lips,” she said in January. “I’m doing this thing right now called SkinVive, which is a moisturizer injection, not a filler.”
She has also discussed going under the knife for a breast augmentation, telling the outlet the decision followed a relationship with an older man whose “beauty perception” affected her own.
The catwalker’s surgical history extends further back. She previously opened up about a rhinoplasty and, in a 2020 episode of the “Skinny Confidential: Him & Her” podcast, detailed a teenage breast reduction after a health scare.
“I was 16 and had mastitis, whatever the heck that is,” she shared. “It was the worst thing I’ve ever been through.”
The infection stemmed from an infected nipple piercing and nearly led to sepsis, she explained.
Hamlin is the younger daughter of “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” alum Lisa Rinna, 61, and actor Harry Hamlin, 73. She began dating Scott Disick, then 37, in 2020 when she was 19; the pair split in 2021.
Her candidness about cosmetic procedures and past relationships has become part of the “Local Celebrity” persona she now literally wears on her chest. The self-aware branding aligns with a model who has built her own following distinct from her parents’ Hollywood footprint.
Hamlin’s Victoria’s Secret debut marked a particular full-circle moment for a young woman who has spoken openly about body image pressures from her teenage years forward. The fluffy white wings she wore on that Los Angeles runway stood in sharp contrast to the medical trauma she once survived at 16.
She continues to book major fashion work while documenting both the glamour and the labor behind it. The “Local Celebrity” shirt may have been a joke, but the career backing it up has become increasingly serious.
