Lisa Rinna delivered one of the season’s most talked-about celebrity transformations, stepping out in an uncanny Kylie Jenner look that left fans and peers doing a double take. The television personality and actress debuted her costume on the Oct. 30 Halloween episode of Live with Kelly and Mark, where she joined executive producer Michael Gelman as a celebrity judge for the program’s annual costume contest.
Rinna modeled an outfit inspired by Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet’s viral orange Chrome Hearts ensembles from the Marty Supreme premiere. The 63-year-old wore a backless orange dress featuring strategic cutouts and a cross-shaped jewel on the front, complemented by a chunky cross necklace and a long, straight brunette wig. Reflecting on her appearance during the broadcast, Rinna joked about shedding decades for the segment. “You know, I love to dress up,” she said. “This is not typical. You know, I aged way down for this.”
In a video shared to the show’s official Instagram account, Rinna pulled back the curtain on how the look came together, attributing the execution to her professional glam squad. “I mean, I know Lisa’s fabulous, but… it’s Kylie,” she said. “I have very good people. I have the best. Luckily, I’m able to afford the very very best. And, you know, they just do a very natural look. It’s very natural and understated.”
The transformation quickly drew widespread attention online, racking up enthusiastic reactions from peers and family members. Fellow Traitors alum Dorinda Medley wrote, “Thought it was her for a second,” while actress Busy Philipps added, “This is so so good.” Rinna’s daughters also voiced their astonishment, with Amelia Gray writing that she was “freaking out” and Delilah Belle remarking, “Wait this is good.” The look even won approval from the beauty mogul herself, as Kylie Jenner commented on Instagram, “Thought this was me.”
Rinna’s costume was part of a broader wave of celebrity Halloween celebrations captured across television and entertainment events. Morning talk shows featured hosts in elaborate character costumes on Oct. 30, including Carson Daly as Ella Langley on Today, Sheinelle Jones stepping out as Friends character Phoebe Buffay and later as a Radio City Rockette, and Savannah Guthrie dressing as an NBC Page alongside Jack McBreyer. Elsewhere, public figures marked the holiday at theme parks and private gatherings, ranging from Universal Studios Hollywood’s Halloween Horror Nights visits by figures like Billie Eilish, Demi Lovato, and Jerry O’Connell’s family, to themed parties hosted by Paris Hilton, Victoria Justice, and Janelle Monáe.
