EXCLUSIVE: Love Island host Maya Jama unveiled as the new face of luxury fashion brand Dolce & Gabbana
Love Island presenter Maya Jama has been unveiled as the new face of luxury fashion brand Dolce & Gabbana.
As the focus of its new autumn/winter 2023 campaign, Maya stuns in a red latex coat and diamond encrusted D&G sunglasses as well as a black see-through dress.
The TV host, 28, who’s famed for presenting the ITV2 reality series, smoulders in an auburn wig as she pouts for the camera wearing a satin red gown costing £2,550.
Believed to be worth thousands, the Dolce & Gabbana deal has catapulted the Bristol-born beauty to the forefront of fashion.
Not only is she Vogue’s August cover star but Maya mingled with the likes of Kim Kardashian, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Dame Helen Mirren at the brand’s decadent unveiling of their latest Alta Moda collection in Puglia this month, posing for selfies with Dolce himself.

A source close to the star revealed: ‘This is an amazing deal for Maya and it takes her career to the next level.
‘It has been in the works for a while, and she is so happy that it is finally done, and she can tell people. It’s the start of something really big for her and Dolce & Gabbana.’
Maya took over as Love Island presenter from Laura Whitmore, 38, earlier this year and has previously hosted BBC makeup series Glow Up, Walk the Line and Crouchy’s Year-Late Euros: Live.
She is also at the forefront of campaigns for Rimmel London and modelling for the likes of designer brand Self-Portrait.
She has made a name for herself following a highly-publicised breakup from rapper Stormzy, 28, who Maya dated from 2014 until 2019.
Currently single, Jama ended her engagement to Australian basketball player Ben Simmons, who is an ex of Kendall Jenner’s. She spoke publicly about their split for the first time on Love Island spin-off show Aftersun this week.
Talking about engagements, she warned: ‘I mean I’ve had a go… and just don’t do it.’
At the start of the current Love Island series, Maya said she planned on wearing her sexiest outfits yet, and she has not left viewers disappointed.
With the help of stylist Rhea Francois, Maya wore a cutout dress previously used by Jennifer Lopez and has been seen in several eye-catching outfits.
Despite her fame reaching new heights, she continues to stay grounded, saying the online trolling surrounding Love Island often her brings her back down to reality.
Maya referenced one tweet from a viewer who commented on her ‘natural teeth’, saying they admired that she had not got them ‘fixed.’
She told Vogue: ‘I always thought my teeth were all right, never blinked an eye, and then I read a tweet saying, “I really love that Maya’s kept her natural teeth and not fixed them”.’
