The first bombshell in the Love Island All Stars 2025 series and no one more deserving of the title, enter Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu. The 2022 winner entered the villa on Monday night, and made quite the entrance in a gorgeous pearl dress that immediately caught everyone's eyes. Crafted from pearl chains draped from a bodysuit base, Ekin-Su certainly brought the 'wow-factor' and immediately had us hunting. And luckily, we've found exactly where to buy Ekin-Su's dress, and some more affordable high-street dupes.
Ekin-Su's dress is The Birth of Venus Pearl Handmade Crochet Gown, that'll not only set you back £600 but is now out of stock. Sadly, we're not surprised. But if you're after a dress that brings the same sophisticated and sexy appeal, we've got you some options.
We've also LOVED all the other Love Island outfits, including Ekin-Su's choice for night two, the ATLEIN Pleated Ruched Mini Dress for £676. But for a casual £13, EGO's Extreme Plunge Double Layer Ruched Mini Dress is frankly, uncanny.

This dress provides a little more coverage and swaps pearls for rhinestones, but it's equally as glam and one you may be tempted to wear on nights out, not just at the beach.

This dress is more akin to that of Ekin-Su's with the draped white pearls from the bodysuit. It's mini instead of midi, but just as eye-catching.

Aside from being more burgundy than the brown/ burnt orange of Ekin-Su's choice, this dress is almost exact with the plunge neck and ruched detailing.
