Maya Jama shares summer style secrets
The 30-year-old TV presenter has revealed she likes to feel comfortable when she's not working so she spends the summer months wearing loose-fitting shirts teamed with shorts or jeans.
She told The Sunday Times newspaper: "Oversized shirts with shorts or skinny jeans. My inspiration is 1990s off-duty supermodels - they loved a big white shirt with a big belt, boots or kitten heels."
Maya has been seen wearing more glamorous outfits during her stint hosting ITV2 reality show Love Island this summer - and she's revealed her onscreen outfits are also 1990s-inspired.
She explained: "It's a sexy show so we've always fed into that, but this year we've delved into some vintage designer archives, in particular preloved looks from the 1990s - a few Chanel pieces, some 1994 Versace - to elevate it a bit but keep it fun. Think bright, colourful minidresses."
Maya admitted the costumes she wears on TV can be quite uncomfortable but she's prepared to "suffer" for a few hours of work.
She added: "When I started, there were so many rules. For my first job at MTV they wanted me to look like a member of Little Mix, but now I get to wear what I want, really. I sacrifice comfort!
"On TV I always think you can suffer for a couple of hours in an outfit, whereas day to day I'm all about comfort. I have learnt that small prints and patterns don't look as good on telly - crisscrosses, stripes, they don't translate as well on camera."
Maya previously shared her top beauty tip and revealed it doesn't cost a thing - explaining she likes to dip her face in ice cold water first thing in the morning to reduce puffiness and perk up tired skin - but an ice-roller will also do the job.
According to The Sunday Times, she said: "I'm a big believer in dunking your face in ice-cold water every morning - it helps reduce puffiness and tiredness and definitely helps your face feel 'snatched' first thing.
"You could also use an ice roller as an alternative, but I think doing it quickly and all at once is easiest."
Maya went on to share her other advice which includes taking off make-up before bed and using eye masks regularly.
She added: "I always try not to wear make-up to bed, and I'd say I'm 99 per cent good at that.
"It's really important to look after your eyes and I love an eye mask. I make sure I always have an MIJ mask in my bag so I can pop it on in a cab or use it on a flight to keep my eyes hydrated and refreshed."

Cara Delevingne tested new Topshop collection at Glastonbury
Cara Delevingne tested Topshop's new collection by wearing the clothes at Glastonbury Festival this summer. The model is an ambassador for the revived brand - which relaunches at the end of August - as well as being the face of the new autumn/winter campaign and Cara has revealed she took the new Topshop pieces to the iconic music festival in June to see how they worked and she was thrilled to tell fellow festival-goers she was wearing items from the former high street giant. She told The Sunday Times newspaper: "I wore the pinstripe trousers with the faux-fur jacket and was so excited to tell people that they were part of the 'new' Topshop collection. "You can dress these pieces up or down and wear them for everything from a meeting to going out to lunch to hanging out at home." Cara went on to insist the new Topshop collection features pieces she would feel proud to have in her wardrobe, saying: "It's all the things that I want in my wardrobe. "Going from my twenties into my thirties, I wanted to kind of start dressing with a bit more thought. This collection lets me do that. "You wear it with more Topshop or with vintage or other brands. Each piece stands out so much - there really is something for everyone." She added: "Each piece is purposeful. What matters now is quality over quantity." In a separate interview with ELLE magazine, Cara revealed she was keen to be a part of the brand's relaunch after previously walking the runway in Topshop's fashion shows and starring in a campaign for the company back in 2014. She said: "To be asked to be part of the relaunch, it meant so much to me - and my teenage self, who remembers going into Topshop and really feeling like you could find anything you wanted." Cara added of the first collection: "It feels very eclectic, but also modern." The 30-piece collection debuts on the relaunched Topshop website on August 16. Topshop Managing Director Michelle Wilson said in a statement: "Cara is the perfect embodiment of the Topshop spirit - bold, creative, and unapologetically herself. This partnership is more than a campaign; it's a statement of intent as we reintroduce Topshop to the world."

Game, set, match: Bizarre new dating show to take place at US Open
Watch out, 'Love Island,' there might be a new reality dating show sweeping the nation in a few weeks. The U.S. Open announced Thursday that it would be filming, producing and releasing its own YouTube series called 'Game, Set, Matchmaker,' which 'fuses the emotional rollercoaster of a dating show with the electric energy of one of the world's biggest sporting events,' according to the announcement. Watch the biggest Aussie sports & the best from overseas LIVE on Kayo Sports | New to Kayo? Join now and get your first month for just $1. The eight-episode show will be filmed during the U.S. Open Fan Week at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center, following one single — dubbed 'The Champion' — as she attempts to find love with one of her seven matches, the New York Post reports. Long Island native Ilana Sedaka, a 24-year-old former figure skater turned pilates instructor who lives in Miami, will be the show's bachelorette, with the eligible bachelors consisting of influencers, tennis superfans and social personalities. No specific men were named. 'We're excited to break new ground with 'Game, Set, Matchmaker,' at the US Open and across our channels this year,' Jonathan Zipper, senior director of social media at the USTA, said in a statement. 'It's the perfect time for us to launch a fun, social-forward concept that meets the moment, engaging fans at the intersection of tennis, pop culture and entertainment.' The first episode will be posted on the first official day of the U.S. Open — Aug. 24. The finale will be available on the same day as the women's final. The project is a collaboration between the USTA and Fresh Tape Media, and is attempting to capitalise on the tournament's cultural impact beyond the play on the court. 'The US Open is more than a tournament; it's a cultural stage,' said Alana Glenn Moritz, creative director for Fresh Tape Media, according to The Hollywood Reporter. 'We built this series to capture that energy in its purest form. It's unexpected, it's current, and it taps into the drama and connection that makes this event unlike anything else.'

‘Like tracksuit pants': The jeans Bella Heathcote can't live without
What are the three essential items in your wardrobe? Levi's jeans, a white Bonds tee and a big cotton or linen men's shirt. I also like a Hawaiian shirt for summer. Any go-to jewellery? I wear my mum's jewellery: an emerald ring that my father gave her when I was born, some chunky gold hoops and a bangle with a triangle ruby inlay. Can you remember a favourite outfit you wore as a child? A fluoro pink-and-green striped top and skirt set that I would still wear now if it fit me. What was your first fashion moment? The Dark Shadows premiere in 2012 was pretty huge. I went from having my friend dress me and looking a bit of a mess on the red carpet to wearing Chanel. And your worst fashion mistake? About 10 years ago, I went to an event in LA wearing very heavy make-up, like I was in drag. And I paid someone to do it. As I was walking out the door, my partner said, 'You know you could wipe it off.' Not helpful. What's on your wish list? I'm looking for the perfect metallic bumbag. I've also got my eye on a Gucci backpack with a snake on it. Is there something you'd never wear? Really high heels. What shoes do you wear most often? I wear my Birkenstock 'Arizona' slides so much I've worn out the tread. Is there a current trend you like? I'm loving the '90s-style suits and blazers. What do you sleep in? Pyjamas from Suku or Deiji Studios. Loading Who's your favourite fashion icon? A friend told me I dress like [actor] Walton Goggins. I'll happily have him as my style icon. What do you wear on a typical working day? To the set, I'll wear men's Levi's – as they're basically tracksuit pants that I can easily rip off – with a button-down shirt – as you can get your make-up done without having to then pull it over your head – and my Dr Martens loafers. What's your favourite off-duty, casual Sunday look? A Hawaiian shirt and a pair of old jeans that I cut off at the knee – I'm appreciating the long denim short.
