Love Island finalist Samie Elishi has stunned fans on Instagram with a first look of her new post-break-up image.

Captioned ‘keeping it classy,’ Samie posted a photo of her new full fringe while lounging in a black Sir the Label dress.

She highlighted the new bangs by pinning the rest of her hair back and finished her new look with delicate dangling silver earrings.

Fans and friends clearly approve, with Claudia Fogarty commenting, "Audrey Hepburn eat your heart out 🔥."

One fan wrote, "Omg this look is so ‘90s I LOVE".

Another commented, "Loving the fringe!! 😍😍".

And someone else said, "Yesss🔥🔥 hello new fringe 😘 xx".

Samie then debuted the new look at the Pride of Manchester 2023, where she was joined by other Love Island alums including winners Kai Fagan and Sanam Harrinanan. She was also spotted with BFF Claudia and Casey O’Gorman.

Claudia and Casey only recently sparked rumours of a rekindled romance after they'd been spotted together on Instagram.

And Samie’s new look comes just two weeks after her split with Love Island beau and former footballer Tom Clare.

Just weeks after they came third on Love Island, Tom announced their break up on Instagram. At the time he wrote, "Didn't think I'd be writing this but me and Samie have gone our separate ways. We are still on good terms and I have nothing but love and respect for her.

"I'm gutted it's come to an end but I truly wish Samie the best."

Days later Samie spoke out on her YouTube channel and said, "Me and Tom have broken up. It's ended on good terms. No one's done anything bad to each other, there's still lots and lots of love there. It just wasn't working on the outside and we both agreed on the majority of the things.

"There's no bad blood there, me and Tom. I would never say a bad word about him and he wouldn't about me."

She then added, "We just weren't working on the outside. I feel like when you come out of the villa you've got so much pressure and so many other things to worry about that plays a huge factor in a relationship.

"It was just a lot more difficult to maintain outside of the villa."
