As we prepare to see Maya Jama as the new host of Love Island, following Laura Whitmore's exit, one thing we already know for sure is that her style in the villa will be next level—well, if her recent red carpet offerings are anything to go by, that is. So as we officially start the countdown to the next Love Island UK season, let's take a look back at all of Maya Jama's red carpet looks...
While some fans are still pondering Maya Jama's boyfriend situation (following all those reunion rumors with her ex Stormzy), the rest of us have been rather preoccupied with the TV host's fashion moments—particularly her latest look at the British Fashion Awards. Maya was pictured wearing a black, form-fitting ensemble, with cutouts and a matching hat that was giving old-school Hollywood vibes.
Her latest red carpet triumph then got us thinking, when hasn't she served a major look at an event? So, while we wait to see her first slow-mo walk into the villa, here's a love letter to Maya Jama's best red carpet looks to date...
Maya Jama's best red carpet looks
The former Radio One host has made quite a name for herself already in the beauty and fashion world, launching her own skincare line—which has reportedly already made Maya a millionaire.
She's also become a familiar face at events like the BRITS and the NTAs, offering up eye-catching and stunning outfits every time. The following Maya Jama pictures really do just speak for themselves...
British Fashion Awards 2022
If there was an award for the best dressed star at the British Fashion Awards, it would go straight to Maya for this elegant, vintage inspired look.
Maya wore a black dress that cinched in at the waist, with bold cut-outs and a matching black hat. Makeup-wise, she and makeup artist Letitia Sophia opted for a glow, 'glazed' foundation look and a classic smokey eye, which really pulled the whole look together.
British Vogue 'Forces For Change' Gala 2022
Just hours before the British Fashion Awards, Maya also rocked up to Vogue's 'Forces For Change' dinner wearing a white lace dress, covered in a black chain print.
Underneath her sheer lace dress, she also wore black underwear to match the chains and wore her hair up. Overall it was a very dramatic but elegant ensemble.
GQ Men Of The Year Awards 2022
This appearance sparked quite the online frenzy as Maya and Stormzy were reportedly spotted catching up, but aside from all the romance rumors, her outfit definitely deserves a shout out!
Maya wore a hooded, white crop top, paired with a pair of white, structured suit pants from Monot—and even matched her eyeliner to the outfit.
MTV Europe Music Awards 2022
Jumping on the sheer dress trend, Maya wore this striped, mesh-style black dress on MTV EMA's red carpet.
The dress featured a long train and stylish diagonal straps, which the presenter paired with black, strappy heels and a nude bodysuit. It's very much a cool-girl take on the 'naked dress' trend we saw so much of at the 2021 Met Gala.
'Wakanda Forever' premiere 2022
Maya wore this stunning bright orange dress, with a white circular print and paired it with this large, white statement necklace.
National Television Awards 2022
There was a major Love Island reunion at the NTAs, with Maya joining a number of former islanders on the red carpet.
For the event, Maya stepped out in a white, off-the-shoulder dress, with ruching around the chest and a very elegant mermaid-like train.
The BRIT Awards 2022
Maya served a serious look on the BRIT Awards red carpet, wearing this dramatic, black cut-out gown, which she paired with a black, fluffy wrap—how chic is that?
She also rocked a sleek, liquid hair look and the underliner eye trend which just made the whole look even more dramatic. It's a ten out of ten!
British Fashion Awards 2021
Ah, we've come full circle and so far no fashion faux pas! Here we see Maya wearing this ruched red number, with bows on the shoulder and a flattering v-neck cut.
She also paired the look with a simple but timeless red lip.
GQ Men Of The Year Awards 2021
We're still obsessed with Maya's look from the GQ 2021 awards. She wore this long, v-neck, black tasseled dress that featured a choker-style strap.
While Maya will likely be dressing slightly more casually for her Love Island debut, we're already pretty darn excited to see her looks—and if the rumors are to be believed, we won't be waiting on the winter Love Island season for much longer...
