Maya Jama sets Amalfi style trend for summer on first holiday with Rúben Dias
Maya Jama has gone Instagram official with footballer boyfriend Rúben Dias, and sparked a new Amalfi fashion trend for summer so we've found where to shop her style for less Maya Jama has sent fans wild with her latest Instagram post, in which she officially 'hard launched' her relationship with Manchester City footballer Rúben Dias. The couple has been rumoured to have been together for months now, and it seems they've finally gone Instagram official. As exciting as the official announcement is, another thing from the post caught our eye: Maya's enviable style, which seems to have sparked a new Amalfi fashion trend. From monochromatic swimwear to cool-girl denim shorts and chic all white fits, Maya's Italian fashion looks have been on point and given us a little summer wardrobe inspo for the new season. Unfortunately, we're not completely sure where the Love Island presenter's looks are from, and we're sure they're likely to blow the budget, so we've rounded up some similar styles you can shop on the high street if you want to channel that Dolce Vita lifestyle. Where to shop looks similar to Maya's Bermuda denim shorts Of course, denim shorts are a summer staple that we can't go without. What we enjoy most about Maya's is that they aren't as long as Bermuda shorts or jorts but not small enough to show everything off. They look similar to Abercrombie's Curve Love denim shorts, which are perfect if you've got curves like Maya's, as they fit in all the right places and don't have that dreaded waist gap. Equally, if you're looking for a pair slightly looser on the thighs, Wrangler's Cowboy Shorts are the ideal longer-length pair of shorts. Monochrome bikini Black-and-white bikinis are going to be a huge trend this summer, so it's no surprise to see someone as trendy as Maya already sporting one. Taking a leaf out of the Love Islander's style book, this tiny triangle bikini looks amazing on Maya, and we've found a super affordable one from New Look that looks just as good. And if you're willing to splurge that little bit more we've found another alternative from Hunza G that features the same triangle shape (which is universally flattering for all bust sizes, by the way). Silky slip skirt and vest A silky slip skirt and vest is a summer holiday outfit formula that simply never fails, and here Maya is proving just that. Aboard her yacht on the Amalfi Coast, Maya rocked an all-white midi skirt and cami combo, teamed with her natural beachy waves. This is such a versatile look that will take you from day to night, and we've found an under £20 skirt from H&M that looks far more expensive than its wallet-friendly price tag. White summer dress In Rúben's official Instagram couple post, Maya can be seen rocking a square-neck white dress just above the knee that totally nails that classy Italian lady look. Although the micro mini is back in, so are lengths that hit around the knee, whether above, below, or just on it. We're talking very 90s-style. And this is the perfect option if you're looking to cover your legs up that little bit. The option we've found from Nobody's Child is slightly longer and more A-line than Maya's. However, we think it perfectly nails that 'Italian girl summer' aesthetic. Simply pair it with a basket bag, strappy sandals, and a silky headscarf. With black, white, and denim at the forefront, Maya is proving that simplicity is key when it comes to summer dressing. We can't wait to see what looks she turns out when the new Love Island series kicks off.

Vogue's best looks from the Christian Dior resort 2026 show
'I want to show what I love, what I really love.' So declared Maria Grazia Chiuri before she sent out a heart-felt, nearly all-white celebration of Rome, her birthplace. The women in the audience had been asked to dress in white, and gathered to watch in the spectacular formal gardens of the Villa Albani Torlonia. We were anticipating a crescendo, a grand finale of a show from the homecoming queen of feminist standard-bearing. In fact, what we got from Chiuri was a resort show with a couture collection mixed in with it, for the most part wispily romantic and fragile-seeming. Emphasis on the 'seeming,' that is. To the designer, it was an enactment shot through with autobiographical meaning, cultural nuance—a bit of nonsense frivolity—and historical symbolism. And—she was laughing about this in the tented backstage area beforehand—it was deliberately intended to confuse. La Bella Confusione, a novel set in 1960s Rome was one starting point out of the many she infused into this show and its production. 'A beautiful confusion,' she chuckled. Well, you don't need to spend half a day in Rome to realise how densely, layered and criss-crossed it is with archaeology and history. Chuiri said, in part, that she was drawing attention to the role her city has played in fashion—wrapped up as it is in the Dolce Vita of the fifties, the glamorous heyday of the Cinecittá movie industry, and the glory of Valentino and Fendi, both of whom she worked for. On top of that, she was celebrating the life of the heiress, hostess and patron of the avant-garde arts, Mimi Pecci-Blunt. (Chiuri and her daughter Rachele have just restored her theatre, Teatro di Cometa.) You can see why Chiuri might identify with Mimi. In many ways, over nine years at Dior, she has also been a relentless supporter and ally of women artists, artisans, and performers. On this night, she had local dancers—dressed in white by the Roman movie costumers Toricelli—performing a Commedia dell'Arte-cum-contemporary ballet around the gardens. This, as a reference to Mimi's 'Bal Blanc,' which took place in 1930 in Paris. All guests wore white and were photographed by Man Ray while they posed surreally as historical figures. Which was why we began by looking at four long, slim, beautifully tailored double-faced cashmere ensembles—one of them a trouser suit and tailcoat. 'These are haute couture,' she said. 'You can only make these by hand. Some of the simplest things are the most difficult to make.' This ideal, minimalist yet sumptuous simplicity was followed by many variations on the theme of the long, slim, semi-sheer dress. The lace effects were almost countless—3D florals, rivulets of ruffles, leafy cut-outs, wavy art deco frills, gilded latticework covered with silken fringe—and more, and more. Underwear visible, shoes flat. This, surely, was Chiuri staking claim to the look she has coined at Dior; her contribution over nearly a decade to the history of the house. But within this, there was yet more to be drawn out. One dress in particular, number 63, used an almost transparent curly ruffled technique that looked like a salute to her old employer Valentino Garavani—and his breakthrough White Collection from 1968. And then, there was her Vatican Conclave moment. It came very obviously in a short, black, red-buttoned cardinal's coat; and maybe not so obviously, but definitely when you look twice—in the vestment-like white shirts with deep lace hems. As it happens, Chiuri added, her heroine Mimi had a Pope as an uncle. More strange, blurry connections. But she had a more serious observation to make about the significance of Mimi's life. 'She was working during World War II. It was a terrible moment, and she was obsessed—in any case—[with] organising concerts, performances within theatre, exhibitions for art. Monsieur Dior had a gallery in Paris during that time, too,' she added. 'They had hope in their hearts for the future. I think that is what art is: it gives hope in the future.' You wondered, at the end, at the beauty of her liquid gold velvet goddess dresses and the trompe l'oeil caviar beading which superimposed statue-like drapery on two dresses. The simplicity of the peplos has been another of Maria Grazia's obsessions over the years—a point on which she has veered very much on her own path and away from the corseted Christian Dior template. There was only one moment when there was any suggestion of an encased torso, and that she saved for last. Not a corset, but armour. She was a Roman woman centurion, striding forward.

How Valentino became the king of A-list glamour
In their frothy, sensual, sweet-toothed glamour, Valentino's clothes seem quintessentially Italian — the half-century oeuvre of a maestro whose fashion soul is as Roman as his profile. The designer's mantra is: 'I always wanted to make women beautiful,' and his inspiration was that of a provincial boy in the drab postwar period going to the movies with his sister and catching the glory days of Hollywood stars in their silver-screen years. Like the rest of the Romans, he was fascinated by the shiny, dolce vita glamour and he gave it classical class. By the time he was touched with the stardust of his own era, dressing the famous who were also his friends, Valentino had become part of the motion picture. Images of the young
