Lisa Rinna Wears Human-Hair Christian Cowan Gown to Elton John Oscars Viewing Party

The bespoke Christian Cowan piece was built from human hair extensions using TRESemmé products over more than 150 hours.

Overview

  • Rinna appeared at the Elton John AIDS Foundation’s Oscars viewing fundraiser on March 15 in Los Angeles in a custom look made for the afterparty.
  • The dress incorporated about 11 pounds of real hair extensions shaped into a strapless silhouette with a long train.
  • Cowan says a 16-person team built the piece, with most outlets reporting 152 hours of work while one cites about 172 hours.
  • Rinna celebrated the creation on Instagram, calling it “the best hair day of my life” before arriving with husband Harry Hamlin.
  • The project was part of a TRESemmé A-List collaboration, and some reports say the hair was ethically sourced though that detail is not widely corroborated; the event raised $10.6 million.
