Love Island is over for another season *sob* but what a series it has been. Alongside the usual drama drawing us in night after night, Maya Jama proved to be a standout factor of the reality show (again) in her role as host. Or more specifically, it was her outfits that had us rapt with attention anytime she made an appearance in the villa and on our screens.
Yep, when it comes to the ultimate summer style inspo, you can't beat the TV presenter's drool-worthy wardrobe. Previous years have seen her don see-through designs, daring cut-out dresses and so much more. Or do we mean less...? Well, this year has been more of the same but the overarching theme of Maya's looks has been vintage designer dresses. We told you, drool-worthy.
You may not have a firepit dumping to attend, but if you – like us – want to recreate these looks on your summer holiday, keep reading for all the deets on exactly where Maya's latest Love Island outfits are from, plus how you can recreate the look for yourself.
Maya Jama's Love Island 2025 outfits:
The final
Oh-kayyy, Maya clearly saved her hottest look for last, turning up to the final in a red hot gown featuring a corseted bodice. As well as hook-and-eye fastening running up the front of the design, the bodice was also adorned with ruching and buckles. The dress is from Gucci's autumn/winter 2003 collection, designed by Tom Ford. An appropriate final ensemble given the series has seen Maya and her design team delve into vintage designer archives, particularly preloved looks from the ‘90s.

Another episode, another vintage Versace number. But not just any episode, this is the semi-final! Sticking to the holiday marine theme a number of her outfits have followed this season, Maya's brown and orange halter mini dress from the Italian fashion house's 2006 collection featured a seahorse and starfish print.
Episode 38
Sorry, Islanders, but Maya is crashing the party – literally! We hardly mind, especially when she arrives looking like a literal Grecian goddess in a red ombré halter dress with *hugeee* cut-outs at the bust and stomach. The dress is from Roberto Cavalli's SS2006 collection, continuing Maya's trend of wearing vintage designers this season.
Sadly, nothing can quite compare to this iconic look, but we've scoured the high street to find dresses with a similar vibe:

Our girl Maya then made a second appearance in one episode, turning up at the villa for a dramatic dumping in a Christian Dior haute couture skirt featuring a floral print and gold embellishments. She paired the maxi-length design with a black satin bustier bodysuit.

You know it's hotting up in the villa when the Casa Amor recoupling finally arrives. Maya dressed for the occasion, wearing a totally sheer, figure-hugging lace maxi dress complete with a dramatic tasselled cape. What a scorcher! She teamed the dress with a matching black lingerie set and seriously smoky eye make-up.

Making her second return since the start of the season, Maya rocked up to the villa in vintage Versace (again). From the brand's spring summer 2005 collection, the coral printed midi dress had harness-esque straps criss-crossing across her chest. The orange heeled mules she paired with the design featured crab motifs on the straps, continuing the sea theme of her look.

Switching gears slightly to deliver a sugary sweet, rather than sexy, ‘fit, Maya's pink and yellow ruched floral and lace dress is a Y2K-era Emmanual Ungaro design.
Episode one
Go big or go home seemed to be the message as Maya appeared on screen on three (!!) separate occasions, obvs wearing a different outfit each time.
First up was this gorge vintage Versace ensemble consisting of a plunging scoop-neck pink printed swimsuit and coordinating scarf sarong, with a second scarf worn in her hair as a headband. A gold chain belt made up of starfish and shell motifs was slung low around her hips. The entire look was modelled on Claudia Schiffer who wore something incredibly similar to walk the Italian fashion house's 1991 runway show. Maya finished her debut outfit with a gold shell cuff and Chloé shells drop earrings.

Next up, for her entrance into the villa, Maya opted for another vintage find. This time, a 2004 Roberto Cavalli black backed strappy midi dress decorated all over with a multicoloured floral print.

And finally, for her return to the villa later that evening, Maya donned a black bodysuit with a see-through, ruched tulle overall that fell all the way to the floor. The naked dress featured intricate embroidery across the hips, depicting green vines with yellow flower buds. Maya accessorised the look with a statement bejewelled gold crucifix necklace.
