Get Maja Jama’s Love Island Looks
Week 1: Crochet white dress
Maya, 29, entered the Spanish villa for the first episode in a stunning sleeveless hand-crochet dress, known as the Otufu dress by Korlekie.
The intricate design comes in black and white, but Maya opted for the white version as she made an entrance when the series returned to our screens.
The dress is mini length, and the crochet detail, while more concentrated in certain areas for some coverage, is sheer, hence why Maya wore neutral underwear underneath.
We would wear to the beach over a bikini, as well as to beach clubs or pool parties for upcoming summer holidays.
You could also pair it with heels for an evening out.
If you want a more casual look you could layer over linen trousers, a satin slip skirt, or denim shorts, and cinch up to resemble a top.
The mini dress fetches £464, but there are similar alternatives to shop elsewhere.
Crochet is a suitable summer fabric we only see during the warmer months, and designs can come in mini or maxi lengths, and New Look has plenty of styles to shop including the Maxi knit dress, and Mini Dress.

Week 1: Black sequin dress
Maya brought the ITV dating show back with a bang, with her style alone, as she entered the villa on Monday 3rd June in a black sequin midi dress with a thigh-high split.
This dress is a custom design made by Genevieve Devine, and we are obsessed.
We are not the only ones as viewers took to social media to gush “Maya Jama’s outfits, never misses #loveIsland”, and we couldn’t agree more.
The dress was fairly sheer, except for what appeared to be a bra and briefs underneath to protect the presenter’s modesty.
The halterneck design cinched her hourglass frame in all the right places, while the asymmetric cut and split were uber-feminine.
This dress is only suitable for evenings out as it truly packs the wow factor.
Over the years we have seen this disco-style design released in mini dresses or skirt form, which some people have worn with a t-shirt or shirt for festivals, or for New Year’s Eve parties.
Though we can’t get our hands on the exact design there are similar creations from high street labels such as Boohoo, SilkFred, Karen Millen, and ASOS.
What we love is you can adapt this look, opt for chunky sequin disc designs or beaded dresses, mini length or midi, the same halterneck design as Maya or straight straps, and in different colours too.

Week 2: Alaïa Mon Coeur est a Papa dress
Monday night saw the return of Aftersun, and for the Love Island spin off Maya wore a jaw dropping designer dress from Alaïa, which just so happens to be on eBay.
The Alaia Mon Coeur Est A Papa Mini Dress also comes with a pair of shorts to protect your modesty at all costs, which is essential with mini designs becoming micro dresses.
The designer dress features thick black straps, a corset-like bodice and flares into a mini skirt. The creation features contrast white piping detail along the hems, as well as a motif on the bust.
However, the dress comes with a price tag of $5,500 USD on eBay, which is approximately £4,333.95, though the seller is reportedly open to offers.
However, we don’t think our two-figure, maybe three-figure offers maximum, would cut it, plus, when it’s gone it’s gone, so we have found alternative options.
There are very similar corset black mini dresses to shop, or mini dresses with the puff ball skirt, which is hugely on trend right now to emulate Maya’s look for less.
