Maya Jama has set the tone for the upcoming television season with a glamorous fashion moment, sharing a series of striking images just weeks before her return as host of Love Island: All Stars.
The broadcaster and presenter, 31, looked effortlessly confident as she posed in a shimmering gold mini dress, offering fans a preview of the style and energy she is bringing into the new year.
The thigh-skimming dress featured delicate straps and a fitted silhouette, paired with classic gold hoop earrings and coordinating strappy heels.
Jama styled her brunette hair in soft, loose waves and opted for fresh, natural makeup, allowing the outfit to take centre stage.
In several of the images, she posed with her hand on her hip while glancing over her shoulder, showcasing the dress from multiple angles.
Additional behind-the-scenes shots captured Jama modelling the outfit in a mirror and preparing for the shoot as her hair was being styled.
In another image, she playfully balanced on one leg in front of a red and gold backdrop, before later switching into a black PVC coat while holding a clapperboard — a subtle nod to her television work.
Captioning the post, Jama hinted at the upcoming series with a single word — “Defrosting” — accompanied by a wide-eyed emoji, a clear reference to Love Island: All Stars returning in January.
Fans quickly flooded the comments section with messages of excitement, praising both her look and the imminent return of the popular ITV2 series.
The post followed another recent appearance in which Jama wore a figure-hugging red dress, continuing a run of fashion-forward looks as anticipation builds for the new season.
With filming for the third series of Love Island: All Stars set to begin in South Africa in early January, Jama is preparing for another busy stretch on location in Cape Town.
However, this year’s production will look slightly different for the presenter.
Jama is currently in a relationship with Manchester City and Portugal defender Rúben Dias, and sources suggest she plans to travel back to the UK during scheduled breaks in filming to spend time with him.
Traditionally, the host remains in South Africa for the duration of the shoot, living in a private villa near the set.
The upcoming All Stars series is expected to run for longer than usual, with ITV reportedly extending the format.
Due to Manchester City’s demanding Premier League schedule, Dias is unlikely to be able to travel to Cape Town, particularly with key fixtures scheduled throughout January and early February.
As anticipation builds, speculation around the All Stars line-up continues. Former Love Island winner Millie Court is widely reported to be among the first contestants confirmed for the upcoming series, following her recent split from Liam Reardon.
Other familiar names are also rumoured to be in talks, including past islanders from earlier seasons.
With filming approaching and excitement mounting among fans, Love Island: All Stars is shaping up to be one of ITV2’s most talked-about entertainment returns — with Maya Jama firmly at the centre of it all.
