Love it, hate it - or really love to hate it - reality TV show Love Island has become a pop culture sensation over the past number of years, with viewers across Ireland and the UK tuning in six nights a week every summer to watch a group of 20-somethings scramble to find their one true love... and a cash prize.

As well as the memes, the Twitter reactions, the swimwear, and the dramatic re-couplings, we look forward to watching the sensational show to get a glimpse of host Laura Whitmore's latest looks.

The Irish presenter always dresses to impress, with all of her outfits bursting with personality and style. With the assistance of stylist Emma Lane, the Bray woman has been filling our Instagram feeds with hit after hit as she returns to her hosting duties on Love Island and its companion show, Love Island: Aftersun.

To get viewers in the mood for summer loving on last night's Aftersun, Whitmore wore a 1970s-inspired suit from Hebe Studio. The military inspired double-breasted jacket, paired with flare pants is a look inspired by human rights advocate and a former actress Bianca Jagger.

You can find the Bianca trousers here for €199 (was €284) and the Bianca blazer here for €359 (was €513).

Playing on the theme of love, Emma Lane paired the retro look with a the 'Flocked Love Bite Anna Tee' from Markus Lupfer - you can find it here for €72.50 (was €145) - and a pair of heels from Aquazzura.

The themes of romance continued in Laura's accessories as she wore a heart chain from Loquet, a fine jewellery brand based in London and a lightning bolt hair slide plated in pale 18 carat gold from Tilly Thomas Lux (£30).

To complete the look, make-up artist Tori Ball gave Whitmore a bold red lip using a Trish McEvoy lip veil in the shade of Wild Rose. She balanced the eye-catching colour with a neutral eye, some light bronzer from Fenty Beauty, a dash of Iconic London highlighter and, of course, the presenter's statement Soap Brows.

For the finishing touch, hair stylist Sophie Sugarman gave the TV presenter a sleek flipped out pony tail to compliment the retro look.
