Over the past few years,Amelia Gray Hamlinhas been navigating her modeling career. So has her mom,Lisa Rinna.
“I think it’s been so beautiful for the two of us to be able to go on this fashion journey together. Never in a million years did I think that my dreams would also overlap with my mom’s, but we’re loving this for her,” Hamlin, 22, tellsPEOPLE exclusively while chatting about her new partnership with Motorola.
“It’s been the most amazing two years I could have ever dreamt of,” she says. “I’m having a blast and I’m so grateful and I’m really happy. I just feel super lucky.”

And while Rinna, 60, is certainly no stranger to making a runway appearance or two, she’s recently been hitting her stride — or shall we say strut — in her golden years and redefining what it means to be a runway icon. (Earlier this year the actress made headlines as she took center stage at the Rotate presentation in adaring spaghetti-strap swimsuitand leopard coat.)

There’s also plenty of posing tips between the mother-daughter duo, which they’ll share with each other during their downtime. “We’ll go to dinner and I’ll ask her for advice and she’ll ask me for advice. Nobody understands this industry except for the people in it, so it’s been really nice for both of us to navigate this together.”

Rinna and Hamlin have also made their mark on the beauty space too.
The formerReal Housewives of Beverly Hillsstar launched her beauty line — which boasts lip products, eye makeup and body care — back in 2020, and Hamlin even created herown lip kitfor the brand!
“I’m trying to figure out, as a woman, if I even like to wear lipstick (I definitely like lip liner). I’m slowly getting into the lipstick game. I think I can start appreciating it now,” she says.
“Now that she has this brand,” adds Hamlin, “it’s been really fun for me to understand what I like. Everyone is just so individual and so is how you choose to present them on a day-to-day basis. I think that’s what makes this brand so perfect for her."

Whether it comes down to how she does her makeup or the way she commands the runway and red carpet with confidence, Hamlin owes it all to her mama.
“She’s the reason I am who I am. I am so lucky that that is the woman that raised me,” she says of Rinna. “To be exposed at such a young age to unapologetically love yourself with zero shame has just made me who I am today.”
