Love Island star Maura Higgins turned heads at this year’s Coachella Festival, debuting a bold new look and rubbing shoulders with A-list celebrities, including Kylie and Kendall Jenner, amid ongoing controversy surrounding her recent kiss scandal with McFly’s Danny Jones.
The 34-year-old Irish reality TV personality stepped into the California desert wearing a striking all-red ensemble, complete with a custom-made button-up leotard featuring a tasseled hem, vibrant cowboy boots, and a fiery red wig. Embracing the event’s signature flair, Maura shared a series of photos showcasing her outfit with the caption: “Hot-headed. Another custom look by me.”
As part of her ambassadorship for fashion label Oh Polly, Maura also shared a behind-the-scenes TikTok from her festival preparations, fully embracing the cowgirl aesthetic.
During her stay in the U.S., Higgins was spotted at the exclusive 818 Tequila party—hosted by Kendall Jenner—where she was photographed near Kylie Jenner and Hailey Bieber. In a playful Instagram Story, she joked, “Does this mean we’re besties now?”
The glamorous appearance comes just weeks after Maura made headlines for allegedly kissing Danny Jones, her I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! co-star, at a BRITs afterparty. The incident sparked backlash from fans and placed strain on Jones’ marriage to former Miss England Georgia Horsley, who temporarily moved out of their home following the controversy.
Danny Jones later issued a public apology, stating:
“I want to deeply apologise to my wife and family for putting them in this situation. I love them so much and we’ll continue to deal with this privately.”
While Maura has yet to publicly address the incident, insiders told The Mirror that she has privately found the weeks since the BRITs difficult. Despite her upbeat social media presence, the controversy appears to have taken a toll. In a subtle response, Maura “liked” a supportive fan comment on Instagram that read: “You are unreal. Don’t listen to the haters. U are a diamond.”
As speculation continues around her relationship with Jones and her next moves in the entertainment world, Maura remains in the spotlight—balancing brand collaborations, public appearances, and growing ties within the celebrity circuit.
Whether her time in the U.S. is a temporary escape or a strategic career move remains to be seen, but one thing is clear: Maura Higgins is keeping all eyes on her.
