She may not have won the Love Island crown but Ella Thomas did depart the villa hand-in-hand with boyfriend Tyrique Hydeand also scored a lucrative deal with fashion giant Pretty Little Thing, so in many ways she is the real winner. On the subject of winning, the 23 year old certainly won everyone over during her ITV2 stint with her innate sense of style, which saw her make even a simple cargo pant and t-shirt combination look effortlessly cool.
Ella isn’t exactly new to the fashion scene as she was a model prior to appearing on the dating show – hence why her fashion sense feels so grounded. She’s also cemented her post-Love Island style success by joining the exclusive Pretty Little Thing ambassadors gang that consists of fellow Love Islanders Molly-Mae Hague, Gemma Owen and Indiyah Polack.

I took three suitcases full of outfits, so I came prepared. I had a very big wardrobe before going in because I’m a bit of a shopaholic but I did get a few extra bits and pieces.
I used both - eBay Preloved had a lot of nice pieces so we mixed and matched it together. Did you want to change your usual look while on the show? I kept with my usual style but I love trying new looks and taking inspiration from Y2K, so I kept that going in the villa.
