From being #relationshipgoals with Zachariah Noble to remaining classy during every disagreement, Molly Marsh was easily one of the stand-out stars from Love Island season 10. The 22-year-old was also very well-dressed during her time in the villa and previously told us during heat's Self-care Sunday a little bit about the Love Island fashion prep.
She revealed, "I was really prepared going in. I went shopping and bought so much stuff. And you know what, I wore everything really quickly and when I went home the first time, I had to do it all again, because I had worn everything! All the girls were really supportive, everyone just shared clothes."
Now, to celebrate her very exciting collaboration with Say It With Diamonds, Molly talks to heat about her favourite fashion tips, special jewellery pieces and her favourite thing in her wardrobe right now...
Hey Molly, congrats on the collab! Why was it important for you to get involved?
I've loved jewellery since I was younger and after school, me and my sister would always go to our rooms and we'd make jewellery. Beaded jewellery has always been a thing that we've loved.
If you have a 2/10 outfit but you put the right jewellery on, then it just makes it. When I went into the villa, my jewellery bag was ridiculous and the girls used to be like, 'Oh my goodness!' My jewellery bag weighed so much. I literally took everything under the sun and something for every outfit.
When I came out, I thought, 'If I was to do something and create something with a brand, it has to be jewellery-based because it's what I love and it feels right.' Also, the amount of comments and positive feedback I have from my viewers on my jewellery was just really nice.
Then when Say It With Diamonds reached out, it felt so right to do it. Drop one is out now and they're doing it in three sections up until Christmas. The next drop has a few of my faves so I can't wait!
How would you describe your fashion style?
I think it depends. Definitely day to day I'd say very casual, very baggy, relaxed outfits. I never really wear anything too tight unless it's dressy and we're going out. I'd say quite sophisticated, I don't like anything too showy showy. I quite like that classy look and that's everything really, hair, make-up, outfits, but day-to-day, I'd say very relaxed. I just love baggy outfits, whether that's cargos with baggy jumpers or a baggy t-shirt and big boots.
What's an item of clothing you've bought recently that you love?
I got a tracksuit from Victoria's Secret Pink and you might think that's so 2015, but I went in the other day and got a gorgeous cream tracksuit and it's now my favourite. I feel like Victoria's Secret Pink tracksuits have upped their game and I'm obsessed, I need to get some more.
What's your favourite thing in your wardrobe RN?
A jumper dress because we're getting to the time of year of boots, tights and a jumper dress. I wore one the other day, not with tights as we're not there yet, but the jumper dress with boots vibe.
My favourite is a neon green jumper dress from Superdry, it's unreal. You know what, I was with my friends when I wore the outfit and they were like, "Oh my god, that's amazing, where is it from" and they couldn't believe it was from Superdry. People just see Superdry as the big old-school zip-ups, but I'll tell you what, Superdry has got some really good bits in - especially this time of year.

What's a new fashion brand you've discovered recently?
I've known of it, but what I'm wearing right now is Dès Vu and it's by one of my friends. They're a YouTube family and they brought out their own brand. I'd never worn it before and never got it myself, but they sent me some recently and I've worn this twice in a row now. They've got cargos, tote bags, jumpers... I feel like they've really nailed their own style. It's quite Urban Outfitters vibes and it's really cool.
What are your favourite styling tricks?
The jewellery trick. I think you could wear a 2/10 outfit, whack a load of cool jewellery on and it just makes it. Even if I'm not feeling myself, I might just wear jewellery when I'm running errands or around the house or whatever and I'll feel a bit more put together.
I also think with styling, I've always said to people that if a trend like low-waisted jeans is in, I love low-waisted jeans because they fit my body type perfectly. But some of my friends will wear low waisted jeans and they will hate them. They can't stand them. Wearing things to shape your body best so you feel your best and not just going with a trend because it's a thing.
When the dark denim high-waisted jeans were a thing, I'd wear them and hated them on me and I was gutted, because they just didn't look right on me. So tailoring what you're wearing to your body shape and what looks best and feels best on you.
You looked incred on Love Island - what was your favourite outfit?
I loved my black two-piece that everyone kind of mentioned with the gold detailing on the skirt and the long-sleeve top with the gold at the front. I loved that one and I wore it for my audition interview and it has a special meaning. It has good vibes attached to it and it's definitely one of my favourites.
Then my blue blazer dress with chunky heels. That was a fave, I was excited to wear that one!
Who are your favourite people online to follow for style inspo?
I follow this girl called @delaneychilds, I save all of her outfit posts and I just love her. I think she's definitely a massive inspo. I mean, I scroll past her and the next minute I look just like her without realising!
Which A/W trends are you most excited for?
I think the big coats are coming back, last year we had the gilets with the jumpers underneath. Everywhere I'm seeing the big puffer coats again with the massive hoods. It's all about big comfy warm coats and I've seen them in Zara, I saw one yesterday in River Island. I can't wait for the big coats to come out.
Is there a trend you would never, ever wear?
A turtle neck! A high neck on me, I personally don't like. There's something about a really high neck. It sounds a bit crazy, but you will probably never see me in a turtle-neck jumper.
What's your advice for anyone trying to find their own style?
Don't follow a trend if it doesn't make you happy. Like I said, if low-waisted jeans are in now and you don't like them, don't wear them just because it's a fashion trend. I think wear what you want.
There's someone I follow and I can't remember her name, but she wears a bright pink jumper with different coloured pink shorts and then a bright pink pair of boots and a black scarf. She looks incredible and she just goes with what she wants to wear. She's making it work because she's clearly confident and happy within herself and it shows through. Being confident in what you're wearing and it will shine through.
