Inside the Hamlin Family Holiday Campaign: Delilah Belle Hamlin, Lisa Rinna, and Harry Hamlin Reunite for Festive Express Shoot

Delilah Belle Hamlin has joined forces with her parents, Lisa Rinna and Harry Hamlin, alongside her boyfriend Mick Maio, to front the Express holiday campaign titled “Holiday, Hamlin Style.” The fashion collaboration reimagines traditional holiday card portraits through elevated partywear, tailored suiting, and seasonal knits.

While the polished imagery channels effortless family elegance, behind-the-scenes dynamics brought plenty of unexpected humor. In an exclusive interview, Delilah revealed that her father surprisingly turned out to be the most exacting model during their fittings.

The campaign reflects Express’ ongoing “Dress to Express” initiative, an editorial platform highlighting how cultural figures across fashion, entertainment, and athletics interpret seasonal style on their own terms.

Behind the Scenes: Why Harry Hamlin Stole the Fitting Room Spotlight

Though Lisa Rinna is widely recognized for her high-glam fashion presence, it was Harry Hamlin who brought strict precision to the styling racks. Delilah shared that watching her father work offered a fresh look at his professional approach to wardrobe details.

The 28-year-old model, singer, and actress noted the stark difference between his everyday off-duty routine and his sharp attention to garment construction during their collaborative shoot.

“We did our fitting all together, and he was so precise. He’s also not the most fashion forward in our family anymore… He just wears a T-shirt and jeans, the same thing every day. But this man was in the fitting like, ‘No, my shoulders need to be perfect. This needs to be tailored. This needs to be like this.’ I was stunned.”

Despite the surprise, Delilah emphasized how rewarding it was to collaborate with both parents at once. While she has frequently appeared in projects with Rinna, sharing a high-fashion set with her father marked a rare creative milestone.

Campaign Dynamics and Family Style Exchange

A widespread assumption about celebrity fashion shoots is that the most famous style icons demand the most hands-on wardrobe adjustments. On this set, the misconception was quickly dismantled: Rinna took a backseat to Hamlin’s meticulous tailoring checks, flipping standard expectations upside down.

Delilah’s boyfriend, Mick Maio, also stepped in front of the lens. The couple previously starred together in the Express “It Couple, It Looks” campaign during the spring, creating a relaxed, supportive atmosphere on set.

Delilah noted that while her personal outfits sometimes sync with Maio’s by complete accident, her foundational fashion choices often trace straight back to her family roots.

• Harry Hamlin’s Archives: Delilah frequently borrows vintage items, including 1990s-era sunglasses and leather jackets directly from her father’s closet.
• Lisa Rinna’s Signatures: Statement oversized sunglasses remain Delilah’s go-to staple inspired by her mother.
• Sisterly Sharing: Wardrobe trading runs both ways, with sister Amelia Gray Hamlin routinely dipping into Delilah’s personal clothing collection.

A Major Shift in Hamlin Holiday Traditions

Leaving Los Angeles for Broadway

The campaign release coincides with a significant departure from the family’s traditional winter calendar. While the Hamlins typically spend Christmas at their home in Los Angeles, this season calls for a temporary relocation to New York City.

Rinna and Hamlin are returning to Broadway to star together in It’s a Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play. The production marks their first joint appearance on the Broadway stage since their 2007 run as Roxie Hart and Billy Flynn in Chicago.

The stage production carries special emotional weight for the family, echoing their long-standing personal holiday rituals back home.

Hamlin traditionally cooks beef bourguignon while the family screens the classic 1946 film adaptation, surrounded by an abundance of seasonal pies. Although the setting is trading California for Manhattan, Delilah noted that keeping family close remains the heart of the celebration.
