Ariana Madix Wears Vintage Versace from 2006 at Love Island Reunion
During the Love Island Season 8 reunion in Fiji, Ariana Madix, the host and a former star from Vanderpump Rules, turned heads in a striking butter yellow Versace dress from the spring 2006 menswear line. Originally worn by Isabeli Fontana, Madix discovered the dress on TikTok and tracked it down through the vintage showroom Isle of Monday. Stylist Emily Men, who was introduced to Madix by Lindsay Hubbard of Summer House, helped secure the piece. Since her appearance on the show in 2024, Madix has embraced a more daring fashion style, calling the dress "a ray of sunshine, reflecting on the water." She also mentioned how her new brunette hair has influenced her fashion choices, while praising Trinity Tatum, the Season 8 winner, for her standout style and shoe collection.
