Lisa Rinna is proving that reinvention is her forte at Paris Couture Week, serving up a parade of eye-catching wigs that are turning heads across the fashion capital.

While Brandi Glanville once mocked the "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" alum for rocking the same signature hairstyle for 20 years, she's now making sure no two days, and certainly no two wigs, are the same.

Lisa Rinna's Wig Game Takes Over Paris Couture Week With Bold Transformations

The 61-year-old arrived in France on Wednesday and wasted no time switching up her look, debuting three dramatic wigs for three different runway shows, all in just 48 hours.

Her first show-stopping transformation took place at the Stéphane Rolland Haute Couture show, where she stepped out in a chic white coat dress with a plunging neckline and bold belt.

But the real statement? Her shoulder-length bowl cut with blunt bangs, a style that instantly reminded fans of her viral pageboy wig from the Vivienne Westwood show in fall 2023, which sparked comparisons to Lord Farquaad and "Stranger Things"' Will Byers.

The wig extravaganza didn't stop there.

Later that day at the Viktor & Rolf show, Rinna dialed up the drama with a bright red, chin-grazing crop, a look she paired with a sculptural polka-dotted top and green peplum skirt, channeling an avant-garde "Joker: Folie à Deux" aesthetic.

For her third and final transformation of the day, Rinna switched to a voluminous blonde wig curled sky-high for the Jean Paul Gaultier show, complementing the daring hairstyle with a white pinstriped suit.

Lisa Rinna may be best known for her plump pout, but her ever-expanding wig collection is quickly becoming a signature part of her look. The "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" alum has turned hair transformations into an art form, swapping out her traditional short style for a variety of bold, statement wigs.

At 58, Rinna has fully embraced the power of wigs, experimenting with everything from long blonde locks with bangs to a curly auburn lob. She even gives them personalized names, like "The Raquel" and "The Heidi," treating each wig as a character in her style evolution.

"The wigs do that! They instantly make me feel better," Rinna shared while promoting her new "Larger Than Life" Lip Plumping glosses with PEOPLE Magazine. For Rinna, wigs aren't just about switching up her look. They're a confidence booster and a way to step into different personalities.

As an actress by trade, Rinna sees her wigs as a way to satisfy her creative side, especially since she hasn't been acting as much in recent years. "I'm telling you, the wigs have been so much fun," she said. "I haven't itched that scratch of stepping into different characters, but wigs let me do that."

Beyond red carpets and Paris Couture Week, Rinna also relies on wigs while filming "RHOBH," using them as a mood booster for tough scenes.

"Let's say there's a scene I'm doing and I'm feeling like, 'Oh God, I'm dreading going.' I throw a wig on and honey, I just walk through that door with confidence," she said. "It's amazing. I love what a wig does. They've been such a great form of expression for me."

Where The Wig Collection All Began

Lisa Rinna's wig obsession may now be a defining part of her glamorous persona, but the "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star only started experimenting with wigs a few years ago, and it was all thanks to a not-so-subtle critique from her former co-star, Brandi Glanville.

In 2015, during the "RHOBH" Season 5 reunion, Glanville mocked Rinna's signature short hairstyle, telling her: "You've had the same hairdo for 20 years!"

That comment, as it turns out, stuck with Rinna. "It really was that," Rinna admitted. "I've had the same hair for 20 years, or whatever Brandi said. Now it's 25, 30 at this point! But yeah... it was Brandi. I don't even need to give credit to her, she'll take it forever!"
