Love Island fans slam PrettyLittleThing's dupe of Maya Jama's £1,500 dress

It's safe to say that Bristolian bombshell Maya Jama stole the show when she made her Love Island debut earlier this week. The 28-year-old presenter, who grew up in Bristol and attended Cotham School in the city, caused temperatures to soar with her jaw-dropping series premiere wardrobe.

Viewers could not get over how incredible Maya looked as she completely nailed her first slo-mo walk into the plush South African villa on Monday night. According to MailOnline, fashionistas hoping to recreate Maya's stylish night one attire may have to do a bit of overtime as it will set them back a staggering £6,000 to purchase the three amazing outfits she wore.

The trio of launch night looks included a plunging green maxi dress, a red crochet co-ord, and a strappy black cutout maxi dress. Maya wore the latter after the sun went down, and her glowing skin was illuminated further by the twinkling lights as she spoke directly to this year's Love Island cast on the palatial poolside patio.

The sultry black number certainly got viewers talking, with Maya posting a few behind the scenes snaps to social media on Tuesday night, thanking fans for their 'overwhelming support'. Less than 24 hours after Maya made her debut, fast fashion retailer PrettyLittleThing put out a dupe of her stunning poolside look.

Posting the new arrival to their fashion catalogue to Twitter on Tuesday morning, PrettyLittleThing wrote: "GET THE LOOK. Our Black Sheet Knitted Cut Out Maxi Dress has 79% discount!"

For £28, Love Island fans can attempt to pull off Maya's night one outfit with PrettyLittleThing's dress, which comes in both black and stone. Finishing halfway down the calf, PLT claims that the knitted dress 'is perfect for your next vacay adventure', and could be styled with 'a bikini, sandals and sunnies for the perfect combo'.

Love Island viewers have been quick to draw comparison between the £28 PLT dress and Maya's £1,500 dress on Twitter. Manny said: "When you copy the A-star student and get an F."

Maya's Monot dress was recently on sale for £787.50, down from its original price of £1,500. There is some variation between the Love Island star's dress and the one being sold by PLT, with the cutout patterns being slightly different.

Love Island continues on ITV2 and ITVX tonight, January 18, at 9pm.
