The Best "Love Island USA" Reunion Looks, From Bandage Dresses to Cutouts

Aug 26 2025 - 3:12pm

The highly-anticipated season seven reunion of "Love Island USA" [1] brought a slew of drama. From the season's winners Amaya Espinal [2] and Bryan Arenales addressing cheating rumors to the validity of Jeremiah Brown and Austin Shepard's brotherhood being questioned, cringe was an overarching theme of the night. But all drama aside, the islanders were challenged to sport their sartorial best to discuss the season's most viral moments — a trend that has been set with Andy Cohen's tenure as the host for reunions such as "The Real Housewives" franchise. The legendary TV personality joined the season-seven stars, along with the show's impeccably-dressed host Ariana Madix [3] for a night full of tea, and the looks were definitely referential.

Madix, who's cemented herself as the fashion icon of the "Love Island USA" world, showed up in a blue-and-purple sequined mermaid-esque gown from Jean Pierre Khoury Couture's spring/summer 2025 collection that featured a plunging neckline, a subtle cutout right below the bust, and embellished 3D flowers. Contestants like Huda Mustafa [4] and Andreina Santos also looked to high-end designers for their ensembles, wearing a velvet floral dress from Roberto Cavalli's fall/winter 2006 collection and an Hervé Léger bandage dress [5], respectively. Meanwhile, couples Nic Vansteenberghe and Olandria Carthen and Chelley Bissainthe and Ace Greene wore custom gold and green looks — the ladies in gowns from Julian Mendez Couture [6] and Jagne [7] specifically.
