There's a memory there, hazy and warm like a television screen left on too long in a dark room. Two sisters, Delilah Belle and Amelia Gray, sprawled out on a floor somewhere in their shared girlhood, watching giants with impossible wings glide down a runway of pure light and sound, whispering a future into existence for each other.
"We used to watch this show together and dream," Delilah would later write, the words heavy with the sweet weight of nostalgia and pride. A whisper made real.
The Turn
On Wednesday night, that dream exhaled onto the Victoria's Secret runway in New York City. Amelia Gray Hamlin, now 24, strode into the pulse of Karol G’s performance, a vision in incandescent red.
The dress, a long-sleeved minidress, glittered under the lights, a constellation of crimson against her skin. It was sheer, a suggestion of the form beneath. It was a statement from the front. Then she turned, and the whole story changed. The back simply wasn't there. An architecture of absence, the dress was open, a sweeping plunge that dared to dip past the curve of her spine, past her waist, all the way down.
A defiant piece of art. Held together by will and a whisper of thong underwear.
A Family's Roar
You could almost hear the collective gasp, the sudden intake of breath from the crowd, a feeling echoed across social media. Her mother, Lisa Rinna, captured the moment with the unvarnished pride only a mother can possess.
"Let's hear it for the back of the dress!" she wrote, a caption that felt less like a caption and more like a triumphant cheer from the best seat in the house. And her sister, Delilah, the other girl from that memory on the floor, watched from afar. Her post was a quiet testament to a shared past and a realized future, a promise between them now fulfilled for one.
"…can't wait to be on this runway together."
A New Constellation
Amelia’s second look was a different kind of poetry; a crystal-dusted black bra with delicate bows, cheeky black boy shorts, and a silver cage skirt that was both armor and ornament. But her walk was part of a bigger shift, a recalibration of the heavens.
This was a runway that held multitudes. Brand loyalists like Adriana Lima and Joan Smalls walked with the weight of history in their steps, while a new guard made their presence known. WNBA star Angel Reese, all power and grace. Olympian Suni Lee, a study in strength. Emily Ratajkowski and Iris Law. A different kind of angel, for a different kind of world.
On Wednesday, Oct. 15, the 24-year-old model hit the runway in a red long-sleeve minidress as singer Karol G performed.Here's one of the sources related to this article: See here
