At the 2025 WWD Style Awards in Los Angeles, two familiar faces unexpectedly crossed paths on the red carpet. Lisa Rinna and Kathy Hilton, once co-stars on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, shared a brief but meaningful interaction, this time far removed from the drama that had once defined their relationship.
When their paths crossed, there was no tension, no awkwardness—just a warm greeting. Hilton, ever the diplomat, was quick to compliment her former co-star. “Love the blonde hair,” she said with a smile as they clasped hands, a subtle reminder of the camaraderie that had once existed between them.
“How are you?” Rinna asked, her voice soft with genuine curiosity.
“I’m tired,” Hilton replied with a chuckle. “Just got back in from out of town.”
The interaction was captured on video and shared by Bravo Bravo Bravo Bri on Instagram. Lisa Rinna laughed, her eyes lighting up with understanding. “You don’t stop,” she said, before letting go of Hilton’s hand, their brief exchange captured by the cameras of onlookers.
The scene could have been mistaken for nothing more than a fleeting moment of celebrity pleasantries, yet it carried with it a quiet story of reconciliation. Just a few years ago, their relationship had been fraught with tension, as a heated argument in Aspen had sparked a deep rift. Words were exchanged, accusations made, and the bond that had once existed between the two seemed irreparably broken. Kathy had even called Rinna “the biggest bully in Hollywood” during a reunion taping, a sharp jab that left lasting marks.
But time, it seemed, had softened the edges of their former animosity. Months after their fallout, Rinna shared with Interview magazine a story of how, encouraged by her husband Harry Hamlin, she had made the first step toward mending the divide. At the 2022 People’s Choice Awards, she spotted Kathy across the room and took a deep breath. “Hi Kathy, how are you? You look great,” she said, and just like that, the ice was broken.
It was a small gesture, but it marked the beginning of something new. Not long after, Rinna took another step toward peace, sending Kathy a giant bouquet of flowers with a thoughtful note. Hilton, deeply touched, recalled the moment during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live.
In their conversation, Hilton shared that they spoke for nearly twenty minutes. “We talked about how we’re doing, and how happy we are for each other,” she said, her voice tinged with warmth. “Especially with everything going on in the world, we have to find ways to come together.”
