Glove dress Love Island

Love Island's Olivia Hawkins' commitment to a block colour dress with matching gloves is unmatched. The former ring girl, who is causing drama aplenty in the villa (classic) sure knows what she's doing when it comes to evening wear.

She's rarely seen not dressed up to the nines at nighttime - complete with her signature half up half down hair. Oliviaeven made the gloves work when she rocked a lime green version of the dress at the villa's 90s party.

The dress and matching long gloves (or opera gloves as the real fashionista call them) trend may make you think of Downton Abbey and Cruella De Vil, but it's been one of the biggest winter trends, seen on the likes of Kim Kardashian and Blake Lively.

Say goodbye to your chilly hands with our pick of the best glove dresses on the high street. Thanks, Olivia, hun.
