An ode to Gemma Owen’s best ever outfits (and where to shop them online)

The queen of glam midi dresses 👏🏻

Gemma Owen

From her temperamental relationship with Luca Bish to her gorj aviator sunglasses, Gemma Owen has served us with plenty of outfit inspo on Love Island and beyond, even now into her partnerships with PrettyLittleThing and Abbott Lyon.

We're talking figure-skimming midi dresses, bold bikinis in balmy shades of lime and coral and who could forget her snazzy little cobalt mini dress coupled with va-va-voomy hair and her signature £20k Tiffany choker? Iconic.

Now, there are certainly some questionable fashion moments in the Love Island villa - you only need to look to their love of Crocs footwear to see that - but it's safe to say that Gemma has a core style of neutral tones and traditional silhouettes. How can you go wrong?

Gemma's signature style is classic, sexy and glam and despite being the eldest daughter of football legend Michael Owen, most of her clobber is a lot more budget-friendly than you would initially believe - a theme that's certainly true for her first PrettyLittleThing collection, too.

With the newest Love Island summer season coming in thick and fast (5th June, to be exact), we're getting all our inspo from the previous Islanders, Gemma included. From her best Love Island bikinis to all her most recent enviable outfits, she's definitely made her own style.

So here's a deep dive into Gemma's best outfits (plus her Love Island sunglasses, too) and where you can shop her style online.
