Madix has been making a splash with another hosting gig. In 2024, she became the permanent host ofLove Island USA, where she’s brought not only her signature wit to the show but her impeccable style.

The star heated up the reality dating series with aslew of daring looks— of which, she previously told PEOPLE ahead of the season 6 finale, she “can’t pick a favorite.”

She did, however, call out the sexy gold cutout Di Petsa dress she wore for the show’s premiere episode, where she made her debut as host. “It was so cool, fun, and absolutely beautiful,” the star said of the design. “There are rose quartz crystals on it, and everything about it is just amazing.”

Madix worked with her stylistEmily Menon herLove Islandlooks.

“Being able to work with Emily, she’s able to actually find these things that I’ve always loved and source them,” the star said. “If I’m left to my own devices, I’ll maybe second-guess to the point where it’s like, ‘Okay, well now the moment’s passed.'”
