LOVE Islander Maura Higgins wowed in nude dresses after signing a deal with a huge fashion brand.
The reality TV star stunned in a photoshoot for Oh Polly with permed hair and dramatic make-up.
Maura dazzles as the new face of the online retailer, and revealed her stunning curves in new pieces from the collection.
It comes off the back of a busy few months for Maura, including a trip to Coachella.
The Love Island legend, 33, jetted into California for the annual music extravaganza with other UK reality stars.
She let her hair down at the festival after splitting from a Hollywood stuntman.
The couple were first connected in the summer of 2023, after being seen at the Chiltern Firehouse together.
The Sun was first to report how Maura realised there was no future for them as a couple, and split from Bobby Holland Hanton last month.
And she had no regrets on calling time on their love.
A source said: "It was really fun for a while. But they're different people.
"It's over between them."
Clearly putting her best foot forward, the Irish presenter then headed on a glam trip to Dubai before flying to the US.
The star recently bagged a coveted cover girl shoot with MAXIM.
In her interview with the publication, Maura opened up about the work she put in behind-the-scenes before she catapulted to fame Stateside.
"I don’t think people ever see the graft,” she told Maxim.
"I’m a big believer in all this manifestation stuff.
“The best thing I ever did was go on to Love Island,” she added.
“It really changed my life. I genuinely thought when I was going on to the show, because Ireland couldn’t vote, that I’d only last a week.
"I kind of just did it for fun.
"I don’t think I even thought about it. I just did things in a spur-of-the-moment way. I think I just get bored easily, so I like to try something different and throw myself into it.
"I never expected anything, and maybe that was the best thing to do. There was no career strategy or intention."
Maura also opened up on her life before Love Island when she signed to model for a drinks brand.
She told the magazine: "I moved out of my family home at 17. I’ve always been independent, but it was very young.
"With Monster, I was meeting incredible people and making amazing friends, but I wasn’t making a lot of money.
"I was struggling to afford my car. Looking back, I couldn’t even afford heating.
"In the winter time in Ireland, I’d sit there with three dressing gowns [bathrobes] and three pairs of socks on, and I could see my own breath in front of me. It’s crazy how far I’ve come from that moment."
She's now keen to work more in America after becoming a social media presenter for Love Island The Games which aired in the US.
She said: "Weirdly, I was waiting for a lot of the reaction to be like, ‘We can’t understand her!’
"But there was none of that.
"The Americans love the Irish! They love the accent! So it’s been a good thing."
