We Can't Deny Maura Higgins' Fashion Icon Status After Seeing These Outfits

Maura Higgins has made the transition from model to TV personality to red carpet winner. She first became a recognizable name after appearing on "Love Island" and recently competed on Season 4 of "The Traitors." Out of all the faces from reality TV, Higgins is one of the most fashion forward. When she walks into a room, her sense of style jumps out. The reality TV queen has no fear when it comes to taking fashion risks. Whether it's skin-tight leather, a massive train, or a cute beret, there's no limit to where Higgins is capable of going style-wise. 

The stunning star wears haute couture like a pro while also making casual outfits feel high-end. She has the perfect body to serve as a canvas for fashion as an art. It's undeniable when she wears bold prints and large silhouettes that she can pull off any look. You'd struggle to find any fashion misstep that Higgins has ever suffered from. What really takes each garment that Higgins wears to the next level is how confidently she carries herself. She effortlessly wears beautiful gowns with grace and can just as easily turn heads in outfits of lace or leather, all with flawless makeup and perfect accessories. Take a look at how many fashion aesthetics Higgins has pulled off, looking dressed to kill in each and every one. 

Maura Higgins looked red hot at the 2026 BAFTAs

While the BAFTA awards take place in England, Maura Higgins' dress was clearly inspired by the Spanish flamenco style. The eye-catching red color popped against her dark hair. A smooth curved panel with artistic detailing matched the long sheer gloves and a black train that followed behind her. Luckily, this was far from the biggest fashion disasters at the 2026 BAFTA Awards, and ended up being one of the best looks of the night. If her next stop on reality TV includes a turn on "Dancing With the Stars," this would be the ideal outfit for a fiery paso doble. 

Maura Higgins brought the drama to the Hunger Games movie premiere

At the 2023 premiere for "The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes," Maura Higgins dressed for the occasion by choosing a gown that draped her in the franchise's signature gold color scheme. Her long sleeve ensemble was complete with a hood that covered her head to offset the low-cut neckline. This outfit also felt like a precursor to the fashion she would wear during her time on "The Traitors." It proved that Higgins has a flair for the dramatic, but always in a tasteful way that feels chic. 

For Maura Higgins, diamonds are a girl's best friend

Maura Higgins went all out with her wardrobe at the 2021 Pride of Britain Awards. She channeled the style of a 1920s flapper, giving off "The Life of a Showgirl" vibes with her sparkling gown and pixie cut hair. Higgins wore a gorgeous silver gown with beading from head to toe. It fit her like a glove, hugging her curves while showing off her body with its plunging neckline and thigh-high leg slit. The diamond gloves, strappy high heels, and shiny neck collar really delivered on the opulence. 

Maura Higgins balanced the best of fashion at the 2026 Golden Globes

Maura Higgins has proven time and time again that she knows exactly how to stun on a red carpet. At the 2026 Golden Globes, Higgins paid tribute to old Hollywood glamour with her outfit. She wore a classic black off-the-shoulder dress that hugged her curves, making her look like a modern-day Audrey Hepburn. A stunning oversized gold cape was draped over her shoulders and served as an impromptu train that followed behind her on the carpet.

Higgins showed skin in a sparkly two-piece

It appears as if every garment and material is tailored specifically for Maura Higgins' body. She mixed things up at The National Television Awards in 2021 by wearing a two-piece that reflected the light, differing between bronze and rose gold in color. The perfect fit of the skirt around her hips made Higgins look like a piece of art sculpted out of stone. She was smart to be minimal with her hair and jewelry, letting the fit of the dress be the focal point of the outfit. 

Higgins' bubble skirt was femininity personified

Maura Higgins looked like sunshine in her yellow dress at the Pride of Britain Awards in 2022. The bright and joyous color of the gown matched Higgins' winning smile. While not as dangerous as the outfits Higgins is used to wearing, this girly outfit was a nice change of pace. The front panel and halter neck of the dress were perfectly balanced with the large skirt. The look felt maximalist but still tempered and tasteful, as it brought out Higgins' fun and more youthful side. The texture of the skirt shined when she walked across the carpet. 

Higgins channeled Madonna in a cone bra

The Fashion Awards 2025 saw Maura Higgins embracing camp, perhaps the most we've ever seen from her. She went fully avant-garde with her outfit, which included many intricate elements. At the base were white undergarments, including a strapless bralette with pointed cups. The angular skirt was made of a moody dark striped fabric and included panels that poked out from her waist. In addition to matching gloves, an oversized headpiece completed the outfit by hiding part of Higgins' face from the light, thanks to its diagonal shape. 

Higgins showed how streetwear can be sassy and playful

Even when Maura Higgins is off the red carpet, she's still determined to bring high fashion wherever she can. Back in 2022, Higgins recreated her own version of an ensemble that Hailey Bieber was seen in. The outfit consisted of a silky black blazer dress with side cutouts, black shorts underneath, black stockings, and platform loafers. The blazer dress embodies the trend of power dressing while also being versatile enough to wear simply walking around town. Before walking out the door, Higgins grabbed oversized sunglasses and a purse with elements of loud luxury to unapologetically complete the girlboss look.
