Maura Higgins Shines in a Stunning Dress That Looks Like a Floating Sculpture at the 2026 BAFTAs
Maura Higgins Dazzles in Sculptural Red Gown at the BAFTAs
Maura Higgins, star of the reality show Traitors, turned heads at the BAFTAs in London on February 22, wearing a striking red strapless gown. The dress featured a unique sculptural detail that floated elegantly around her neckline, making a powerful fashion statement.
Higgins has been gaining recognition as a serious fashion icon over the years. Known for her unforgettable outfits, she truly embraced the gala’s glamour with her latest look. "Those Traitors outfits were truly unforgettable! The hats! The suits! The avant-garde silhouettes! Iconic stuff," a fan observed, highlighting Higgins’ growing influence in the fashion world.
The gown showcased a corseted bodice with a dramatic neckline and a gothic touch, accented by a sparkling black abstract embellishment. Complementing the dress was an unexpected black train, which trailed behind her like a shadow. Higgins finalized her ensemble with over-the-elbow gloves and a slicked-back bun, enhancing the overall dramatic effect.
Last month, Higgins made headlines in New York City with a daring ensemble, forgoing pants with a Christopher Kane look. This included a plunging lace-embellished jacket paired with black floral lace tights, accessorized with black oval sunglasses and a large handbag, further solidifying her status as a fashion risk-taker.
Since first entering the spotlight on the British version of Love Island in 2019, Higgins has achieved significant success in various television formats. She has appeared on shows such as Dancing on Ice, Cooking with the Stars, and I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!. Recently, she has taken on roles as a presenter for Love Island USA and Love Island Games.
