Amelia Gray Hamlin made quite the statement at the 2025 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.
On Wednesday, Oct. 15, the 24-year-old model hit the runway in a red long-sleeve minidress as singer Karol G performed. The glittery, sheer look was sexy from the front but reached new levels of cheeky when she turned around.
Striking a pose at the end of the catwalk, Hamlin revealed that the back of her dress was totally open all the way past her butt, which was covered only by teeny tiny thong underwear.
Hamlin also sported matching red heels, long, dark hair and a sultry makeup look.
The model’s mom, Lisa Rinna, showed support for her daughter’s sexy runway walk by reposting a video Vogue shared of the shocking moment on Instagram.
“Let’s hear it for the back of the dress!” Rinna, 62, wrote in the caption. “@ameliagray took tonight’s @victoriassecret runway by storm with a little help from @karolg. ❤️❤️❤️❤️”

Hamlin’s sister Delilah Belle Hamlin also gave her a shout-out on social media. Alongside a clip of the model walking the Victoria’s Secret runway in her second ensemble, the 27-year-old wrote on Instagram Stories, “Watching you make your dreams come true will never get old. ”
She continued, “We used to watch this show together and dream… can’t wait to be on this runway together.”
Hamlin’s second runway look featured a crystal-embellished black bra and cheeky black boy shorts. She also wore a silver cage skirt around her waist with bows that matched the ones on her bra.

In March, Hamlin defended her career despite being a “nepo baby” during an episode of Vogue’s podcast The Run-Through. The model said that her trajectory has been “completely different” from the typical story.
“Almost every girl’s story is, ‘I was walking on the street and someone scouted me,’ but that’s completely opposite to my story,” she shared. “I scouted everyone else. I had already known that this is what I wanted to do since I was 5 years old. I have no idea why.”
Hamlin explained that she had to “find everyone” in order to get jobs. “And so my story’s different, but also my passion is different,” she continued. “And I think that I don’t really understand how a lot of the girls don’t feel the same way that I do because to me it’s so exciting and it’s my dream and it’s what I love to do and I could not imagine doing anything really else.”
The model, who is the daughter of Rinna and Harry Hamlin, added: “I mean, I feel really lucky that I love what I do. My dad always said, if you love what you do, you’ll never work a day in your life.”
