Model Amelia Gray Hamlin shared a provocative topless photo on her Instagram Story over the weekend, offering a glimpse into her relaxing Saturday in Los Angeles. The 24-year-old, fresh from high-fashion runway events in Europe, posted a snapshot of herself sunbathing by the pool at her home.
Strategic Social Media Post
In the photo, Hamlin wore only a pair of tiny red string bikini bottoms, with pink bow emojis strategically placed over her bare chest to maintain modesty. She accessorized with a baseball cap featuring bold pink cursive text that read 'Lisa F***ing Rinna,' a nod to her reality TV star mother. Oversize retro sunglasses and a glass of green juice completed her poolside look. Over the image, she wrote: 'I LOVE LA!'
Recent Cosmetic Procedure Revelations
This topless bikini photo, which showcased her washboard abs, follows closely on the heels of Hamlin opening up about cosmetic procedures she has undergone in the past. In January, she told Variety that she has always had her natural lips, dispelling rumors of lip fillers, and instead revealed she receives moisturizing treatments via SkinVive injections.
Hamlin has been candid about other surgeries, including a nose job and an emergency breast reduction at age 16 after a nipple piercing became infected. She later underwent a breast augmentation, which she admitted was influenced by an older partner at the time. 'I was dating somebody who was older than me when I was younger, and I sort of allowed his beauty perception to affect my choices,' she explained, without naming the ex.
Complications and Recovery
The breast augmentation led to significant complications, requiring a second surgery. 'My breasts literally could not handle what was put in me,' Hamlin recalled, noting that the implants pressed on her nerves and impacted her mobility. She detailed a 14-hour reconstruction surgery on the Skinny Confidential podcast in 2020, revealing she was hours away from sepsis due to mastitis from the infected piercing.
Career Highlights and Acting Debut
Despite these challenges, Hamlin has risen to become a top supermodel, recently walking in multiple shows during Paris Fashion Week. She has also ventured into acting, making a cameo in Ryan Murphy's new FX show The Beauty. In the series, she plays a Vogue writer with supermodel looks who violently erupts during lunch, later revealed to be a victim of a lethal fountain-of-youth treatment.
Hamlin shared that she auditioned for the role spontaneously while sick with a fever in Paris. 'The description said, "Supermodel, extremely ill, but still looks good,"' she laughed. 'I was like, "Oh, f***, I gotta do that. I don't know if I look good, but I'm definitely sick as f***."'
Her journey from model to actress highlights her versatility, as she continues to balance high-profile fashion work with new opportunities in entertainment.
