She kicked off the new series of Love Island in sensational style on Monday night, as she strutted into the famous villa.
And Maya Jama has made it clear she isn't going to be slowing down with her array of stunning looks as she took to Instagram on Tuesday to share some more snaps of the gorgeous Dolce & Gabbana piece.
Celebrating the start of the new series, the presenter, 30, showcased her incredible figure in the black dress which was adorned with yellow and white floral embroidery.
Putting on a busty display in the designer dress she penned: 'The night show. Season has begun ..Wearing 1998 archive'.
Maya posed from all angles in the series of shots as she left little to the imagination as the black bodice flowed into a long mesh skirt.

Turning around the back of the dress also revealed a sweet purple flower attachment.
Entering the villa for the first time this summer on Monday, Maya made sure to deliver the series of twists and turns ITV have promised.
The Islanders were coupled up earlier in the day after the girls matched themselves to dating profiles - but Maya returned later that night with big news.
After a day of getting to know each other, the couples were gathered at the fire pit where they were dealt the news that American bombshell Toni Laites would be entering and stealing one of the boys.
Forced to make her decision on the spot, Toni, 24, picked taxi driver Ben Holbrough - leaving construction project manager Shakira Khan, 26, single and vulnerable.
Maya revealed that Shakira would have just 24 hours to form a connection with one of the boys or risk being dumped from the island.
In order to stay in the villa, Shakira would have to convince one of the boys to leave their partner the following evening.
If she manages to do this whichever girl is left single will be dumped... but if she doesn't, it's Shakira who will face the chop.
Earlier in the episode, she kicked off another series of show-stopping looks in a plunging black floral dress as she made her entrance to greet the girls.
Fans quickly took to X - formerly known as Twitter - to reveal that they are only watching the return of the dating series to see the stunning host.
They wrote: 'Watching love island for the first time lmaoo. Only here for Maya;
'Maya Jama always the lengest woman in love island. How can your host always be badder than the contestants;
'Maya Jama is the reason why everyone is watching Love Island tonight;
'Love Island 2025: #LoveIsland wouldn't be complete without the Jama. Enter Maya Jama!'
She introduced 12 brand new Islanders to the Majorca villa who are hoping to find love during the dating show.
This year's crop of hopefuls include a Declan Rice body double, fire breather and Maura Higgins lookalike and Maya will once again be at the helm after joining the popular dating series in January 2023.
This year, the show celebrates a decade on screens and promises to have 'more twists and turns than ever before' in honour of their 10-year anniversary.
The series, which has been streamed over two billion times on ITVX, has seen over 300 Islanders pass through the villa doors over the years, including the likes of Olivia Attwood, Dani Dyer, Chris Hughes, and Molly-Mae Hague.

WOULD MAYA HIRE YOU FOR YOUR FLIRTING SKILLS? I think she'd hire me because I'm a good flirt. I always ask guys on a night out to guess which country I'm originally from. If they get it right, they can get my number.
But they never guess correctly so it works really well if you don't want to give a guy your number. I'm originally from Guinea Bissau. If they're close and I really fancy them, I'll give them my number anyway.
