If anyone knows how to make an entrance, it's Maya Jama. The Love Island host made a surprise appearance for a bombshell double dumping on Thursday, entering the villa in uber-sassy style. The 28-year-old may have curated a wardrobe of dreams, but her latest look redefined her fashion status altogether.

Turning out a look that was second to none, Maya sashayed into the villa looking divine in a number by Syndical Chamber. The statement piece, which retails at £390, showcased a beautiful skin tone orange hue, a double layer of fine mesh fabric, a wet-draped trompe l’oeil, yellow highlights to create the illusion of a female nude (how very Jean-Paul Gaultier) and a slinky, halterneck design.

The star wore her raven hair slicked back into a low ponytail, letting a cascade of ringlet curls coil down her back. A rich glamour glow was the makeup palette of choice, consisting of a flawless comexopn, a refined eyeliner flick, a glossy nude lip and a dusting of blush.
