As standard, the Love Island villa has been bursting on the seams with drama this yr. There was the longstanding feud between Jess and Harriet who had been caught in a bitter battle for the affections of Ronnie and his inexplicable hairline. Then, after all, there was Joey’s beef with — effectively — just about everybody who wasn’t Sean.
However the journeys of the outfits advised a really completely different story. Actually, this season, there have been a couple of ‘matches that appeared to make their means round virtually everybody within the villa as the ladies swapped their garments as in the event that they weren’t feuding actuality stars however teenage sisters sharing a closet.
There have been a couple of outfits which have appeared on our screens repeatedly. The cobalt blue scoop neck maxi gown from Zara, as an example has been giving us deja vu, having been worn by Matilda, Jess and Uma. (And, by the best way, it is presently on sale for £5.99.) Then there was the very beachy plunge maxi gown by Jaded London, which has been worn by Uma, Grace, Matilda and Harriett.
The query is, why all of the outfit sharing? Is not eBay sponsoring the present and showering the islanders in pre-loved treasures? Properly, sure — at the very least to an extent. Apparently, there weren’t that many garments to go round. And though the islanders did carry a few of their very own garments into the villa, they weren’t all the time allowed to put on them.

“We had no garments, 90 p.c of our stuff strobed [when the cameras flicker in response to patterned clothing] to the purpose the place we stated, ‘eBay – can you find us clothes?’ We were told by the voice of God [the producers] that we needed our own fashion – but we had nothing. We all just re-wore the same outfits,” islander Jess White told OK!.
In fact, sometimes, they may have to reuse a fellow islander’s outfit in order to keep to the evening’s dress code. “The night of the Casa recoupling, Maya was wearing red. Emma [Milton] and Mimii [Ngulube] wanted to wear red but they couldn’t,” she stated. “They thought it might be a strobing situation but we now know it’s because Maya was wearing red.”
She added, “Another night, we weren’t allowed to wear black and that’s when she came in wearing black. Obviously, the moment is all about Maya so we need to make sure she’s looking her best. If you’re told you can’t wear red for anybody, it’s got to be for her because she’s so stunning.”
It sounds just like the Love Island girlies shared their garments out of necessity somewhat than a profound sense of sisterhood. However actually, it is nonetheless form of cute to see them sharing. Plus, as Love Island continues to make its push to advertise extra eco-conscious procuring habits, we are able to solely commend the islanders for prepared to re-wear a couple of ‘matches.
