There are several things that Lisa Rinna is known and loved for, like sparking viral internet memes, iconic reality TV moments and her beloved billionaire husband, Harry Hamlin, of course.
But the Real Housewives of Beverley Hills favourite is also famed as a master of reinvention - something she proved once again this week while debuting an unexpected new look.
Ever since first stepping into the spotlight in 1992 after landing a role on Days of Our Lives, Rinna, 62, has styled her hair into a choppy, brunette pixie cut.
Usually, the on-screen favourite pairs her signature hairdo with a deep, brown smoky eye, extravagant lashes and nude lipstick, which she splashes across her famously plumped-up lips, and, more recently, a gigantic pair of glasses.

This week, however, she gave fans head-spinning whiplash after rocking up to a red carpet with a brand new look.
Rinna attended the premiere of gal pal RuPaul's latest action-comedy, Stop! That! Train! on Wednesday (20 May), having styled her hair into a slightly longer curly blonde pixie number.
Joining several other RuPaul's Drag Race stars made famous by the beloved reality competition, including Jujubee, Latrice Royale and Monét X Change, the mother-of-two spoke to Entertainment Tonight about what had inspired her sudden change-up.
Giving the look a name, she gushed: "Derby debutante, of course!"
Rinna went on to joke: "How do you show up at a movie premiere filled with every drag queen known to man? What do you wear?"
"We were kind of going for a Madonna, Doja Cat vibe today.
The Traitors US star had paired her new curly blow-dry with a sweet baby blue dress, which came complete with an extreme ruffle skirt and a neckline bow.
Having made a cameo of herself in the rib-tickling flick, which was directed by Adam Shankman, she posed alongside several other guest stars on the red carpet, like Sarah Michelle Gellar, Joel McHale, Rachel Bloom, Nicole Richie and Raven-Symoné.
Speaking to E! News last year, Rinna emphasised the importance of shaking up your appearance every now and again - especially as someone in the spotlight.
"I think it's fantastic," she explained.
"I thought the other day - as an actor, I never can express myself enough because I never get to work enough as an actor," she explained in February. "So this has been a way for me to express myself and create all the time.
"And it started to move me to tears because I thought, 'Look what I get to do.'"
She went on to add: "If I waited for an acting job, I would not get to create that much, unfortunately."
