Ariana Madix Stuns in Vintage Versace Gown First Popularized by Hailey Bieber

At the recent Love Island USA Season 8 reunion, Ariana Madix opted for a timeless look that drew attention away from its origins. The 41-year-old host wore a vintage 2006 Versace gown previously worn by Hailey Bieber earlier this year.

Madix hosted the Peacock special alongside Andy Cohen, showcasing the iconic archival design featuring a pale yellow hue and intricate details. This choice follows a trend set by Hailey Bieber's wear of the same Versace gown at the prestigious Vogue's Forces of Fashion event in Australia. While both women shared the same original look, according to entertainment outlets, they styled it uniquely – with Bieber wearing her hair in a sleek-back bun and adding diamond jewelry.

Trinity Tatum also chose an older designer piece for the reunion, wearing a silver fringe dress from Alexandre Vauthier’s spring/summer 2022 couture collection. Meanwhile, Melanie Moreno went even further into the archives with a fall 2004 Christian Dior gown designed by John Galliano.

As the host of Love Island USA, Madix continues to experiment with designer fashion, drawing attention during filming in Fiji throughout the season. With another major project outside reality television underway, her upcoming role as Connie Francis in Just in Time arrives as she navigates incorporating unique twists into established designs. For the reunion, though, Madix put her own spin on the 2006 Versace gown that Bieber had worn earlier in the year.
