Posh’s ‘muse’: Victoria Beckham welcomes new fashion inspiration Maya Jama after hugely successful debut as Love Island host
Victoria Beckham has welcomed new Love Island host Maya Jama as her latest fashion muse following her hugely successful debut this week.
The Love Island host, who became an instant hit with fans, wore a variety of eye-catching outfits in the opening episodes – including a gorgeous red two-piece and a breathtaking black cut-out dress.
TV presenter Maya, 28, who took over from Laura Whitmore as host of the ITV2 reality show, also wore a red suit from fashion brand Victoria’s in a shoot for Sunday Times Style this month.

And now, The Sun has revealed that Victora, 48, spent time with Maya at British Vogue’s Forces For Change dinner at The Londoner Hotel last month, after being introduced by editor-in-chief Edward Enninful.
According to a newspaper insider: ‘The women discussed fashion after an introduction by Edward, who they both admire, and hit it off well.
‘Maya loves to express herself through clothes and has been a long time supporter of Victoria’s work, and Victoria was also delighted to meet the beauty as she has her finger on the pulse.
‘Victoria thinks Maya is the future of the fashion world and hopes they can work together more.’

On top of their date, Victoria posted a picture of Maya’s recent shoot on Instagram this week, calling her ‘VB Muse’.
Previously, Maya was a guest at Victoria’s fashion shows, and in 2019, she appeared at her spring/summer event in the same baby blue suit as Victoria’s mother, Jackie Adams.
This comes after Victoria described her desire to look skinny as an ‘old-fashioned attitude’ and added: ‘Every woman wants a nice, curvaceous butt.’

On the other hand, Maya has always been proud of her curves.
She told Cosmopolitan in 2020: ‘It’s so funny that people use the ‘you’re a woman, you should cover up’ angle. We are women, we have tits. Some people are stuck in the past. You can’t keep someone’s clothes.
‘I’ve gained weight. When I was smaller, no one commented on the dresses (I wore), but because my breasts are bigger now, it’s insulting.
‘You can be the best presenter in the world, but if you wear a low-cut top, that will be the only focus. That’s stupid.’
