When it comes to style influence Maya Jama, is right up there on the list of famed faces who can twist our fashion-loving arms into trying a new trend, style or aesthetic without question.

On Wednesday, the Love Island host debuted a new sporty-inspired styling hack, while partying with her old colleagues to celebrate 30 years of Rinse FM, the radio station where she worked 10 years ago as The Drive Time Show host.

For the occasion, Maya opted for a casual, cool-girl ensemble, pairing a matching baggy jean and oversized denim jacket combo over a black sports bra and high-waisted legging co-ord. In terms of shoes, the style maven opted for a pair of crisp white Nike Air Force 1 trainers, a style which is beloved among the street style scene.

For glam, the 29-year-old donned her usual glowing makeup look, consisting of a sleek black cat eyeliner look and a brown gloss lip shade. Keeping on theme with her casually cool look, Maya scooped her long brunette locks into a side-parted high ponytail with wispy face-framing tendrils.

Maya’s bizarre yet somewhat ingenious styling choice boasted both comfort and versatility, leading fans to question whether she’d pre-booked a post-party pilates class. Think social celebration at 5pm and workout class at 7pm.
