Ariana Madix wore a vintage Versace Spring/Summer 2006 gown while co‑hosting the Love Island USA season 8 reunion on August 31. The pale‑yellow dress, originally seen on the runway, turned heads on the Peacock broadcast.

The archival piece features a jeweled halter neckline, a deep plunging front and ruffled detailing that cascades down the skirt. She completed the look with gold pumps, delicate jewelry and a smooth blowout.

According to Page Six, model Hailey Bieber wore the identical Versace gown earlier this year at Vogue’s Forces of Fashion event in Australia. She styled it with a slicked‑back hairdo and diamond earrings.

The host told Vogue that the Love Island era has inspired her to experiment more with wardrobe, and she works with stylist Emily Men to source archival pieces. She said the experience has pushed her toward bold, statement looks.

Vogue notes that she has been gravitating toward designers such as Versace and Jean Paul Gaultier, and she is already slated to return as host for season 9 of Love Island USA. The upcoming season will see her continue the fashion‑forward approach she debuted on the reunion.
