Overview
- Rinna appeared at the Elton John AIDS Foundation’s Oscars viewing party in Los Angeles on March 15, a fundraiser that organizers say brought in $10.6 million.
- Her strapless black dress was constructed from real human hair extensions weighing about 11 pounds, creating a sculpted bodice and a flowing train.
- Designer Christian Cowan collaborated with TRESemmé’s A-List Collection, using styling products to shape and set the hair as a fabric-like material.
- Cowan credited a 16-person team for the build, with most reports listing 152 hours of work and Marie Claire reporting about 172 hours.
- Cowan said he wanted hair to be “the look” rather than a finishing touch, and Rinna described the choice as a deliberate fashion risk suited to an afterparty red carpet.
