‘What a great day!’ Lisa Rinna posts snaps from Miami Beach Pride

Lisa Rinna in the house! The former “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star gave Miami Beach Pride some serious celeb cred on Sunday.

The soap-opera vet turned beauty entreprene­ur/supermodel apparently had a blast as grand marshal for the annual LGBTQ+ festival’s parade.

The 60-year-old Bravolebri­ty, rocking a cowboy hat and pinstripe dress, posted a few snaps of the fest on Instagram. With the TV queen in a snap was special guest June Diane Raphael, of “Grace and Frankie” fame.

“What a great day! Thank you so much for having me!” she wrote.

Rinna told the Miami Herald she hadn’t been to the area in a while but did manage a few years back to dine at Carbone, which was “yummy and fun.”

Her favorite memory goes way back to the archives. The mother of two (who is married to “L.A. Law” actor Harry Hamlin) remembered visiting Miami Beach when the iconic, now-shuttered Delano Hotel opened in 1995.

“We stayed for the weekend and that was pretty fabulous,” she said.

Speaking of pretty fabulous, Rinna just got a shout-out from her ex boss, Andy Cohen, on his SiriusXM show. The media mogul said he was impressed by how well she has pivoted since her exit from the “Housewives” franchise last year.

“I did not have it on my bingo card that Lisa Rinna would become, not only a model, but she is walking in couture campaigns in Paris,” Cohen gushed. “She has become a real player in the fashion industry . ... I’ve got to give it up to her.”

Rinna at the time explained why she left.

“Who wants to leave a job?” she told The Evening Standard. “But I think we all knew it was time. Eight years of that kind of show. … What more could I have done, besides generate more memes?”
