How to recreate Maya Jama's stunning Aftersun look for under £35 with Shein dupes

Love Island fans can recreate Maya Jama's figure-hugging look from last night's (June 12) instalment of Aftersun for less than £35. The Bristolian bombshell strutted onto the show, which analyses the latest episode of Love Island, in a £5,500 "Cone Burst" blush peach corset last night, sending fans wild.

The clingy dress is an iconic and rare late 1990s Jean-Paul Gaultier look, which features a lace up back formed from power-mesh panels, a curved satin panel and a metal zipper in the front bodice. Although it is available to rent for a three-day period for £100 on Annie's Ibiza, there is a much cheaper way for fans to recreate Maya's latest showstopping look.

Maya's entire Aftersun look can be reinvented by fans for as little as £34.49 using dupes from fast fashion brand Shein, the team at bookmakers Japan-101 have discovered. For the dress, the experts found this Solid Ruched Bustier Cami Dress, a figure-hugging alternative in the shade apricot, perfect for creating the Maya Jama hourglass figure.

Perfect for the summer months and the hot sunshine Britain is currently basking in, the elegant yet simple dress is ruched with spaghetti straps for flexible adjusting and a split thigh, which Maya is always a fan of. Inspired by the Love Island host's mules, the experts have selected Cross Strap Stiletto Heeled Mule Sandals from SHEIN, costing just £17.00.

In colour khaki, these are a must have open toe stiletto, mid heel height perfect for effortless strutting. Maya kept things simple on the accessory front last night, opting for a cross over golden ring on her middle finger, and some small textured golden hoops.

To finish the look, the experts have picked out Textured Hoop Earrings in gold available on SHEIN for £1.50 and a 1pc Structured Cuff Ring, also costing £1.50. A spokesperson for Japan-101 said: "Major TV celebs often strive for the biggest, boldest look in order to make the headlines, and this often comes at a price.

"Whilst fans will aspire to look like a TV personality like Maya Jama, digging around online stores is a great way to recreate these looks without breaking the bank. Mules are a style that has made a recent comeback, being a favourite of fashion design houses like Gucci, it seems high street and e-commerce brands are following suit – offering a comfortable, yet stylish footwear choice perfect for the summer.

"Essentially, dressing like a high-profile celeb isn’t as difficult as it may seem, and searching for items with a similar description to the ones you are looking to replicate will help you achieve your desired look."

Maya is currently hosting her first summer series of Love Island after making her debut as the ITV2 reality series' new host in January, when it returned for a second winter series. Her stylish 'fits since she took over from previous host Laura Whitmore have caused a huge stir with fans, who have gone wild for each and every showstopping look.
