Dear Sirs:


         I am Senior Vice President and General Counsel of Revlon, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and have acted as counsel to the Company
in connection with the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-8, filed by
the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), in connection with the registration
thereunder of 530,000 shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock, par value
$0.01 per share (the "Class A Common Stock"), to be issued pursuant to the
Revlon, Inc. 2002 Supplemental Stock Plan (the "Plan").

         This opinion is delivered in accordance with the requirements of Item
601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act.

         In connection with this opinion, I have examined and am familiar with
originals, or copies certified or otherwise identified to my satisfaction, of
(i) the Plan; (ii) the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and the
Amended and Restated By-Laws of the Company, in each case as amended to the date
hereof; (iii) certain resolutions of the Board of Directors relating to the
ratification of the adoption of the Plan and the issuance of the Class A Common
Stock pursuant to or reserved for issuance under the Plan; and (iv) such other
documents as I have deemed necessary or appropriate as a basis for the opinions
set forth below.

         In my examination, I have assumed the genuineness of all signatures,
the legal capacity of all natural persons, the authenticity of all documents
submitted to me as certified or photostatic copies and the authenticity of the
originals of such copies. As to any facts material to the opinion expressed
herein which were not independently established or verified, I have relied upon
oral or written statements and representations of officers and other
representatives of the Company and others.

         I am admitted to the Bar in the State of New York and I do not express
any opinion as to any laws other than the laws of the State of New York and the
General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.



                                       32



         Upon the basis of and subject to the foregoing, I am of the opinion
that the Company has the full power and authority under the General Corporation
Law of the State of Delaware, and under its Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation and Amended and Restated By-Laws, to issue the Class A Common
Stock reserved for issuance under the Plan, and that such shares of Class A
Common Stock are validly authorized shares of Class A Common Stock, and when
issued and paid for, will be legally issued, fully paid and nonassessable, with
no personal liability attached to the ownership thereof under the laws of the
State of Delaware and the State of New York.

         I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement and to the reference to me in Item 5.1 of the
Registration Statement, Opinion of Robert K. Kretzman, Esq., Senior Vice
President and General Counsel of the Company, regarding the legality of the
securities being registered.



                                       Very truly yours,
