We're now 10 seasons deep into Love Island - and if you've been following the show as long as we have, you'll know that there are some unspoken fashion rules. From season to season, episode to episode, some things always stay the same. Sunglasses as soon as the Islanders wake up, heels for the evening, and of course...swimwear during the day. So if you tuned into last night's episode, you must have been as spun as us when a certain someone stepped outside in a dress. In the daytime. Yes, a dress!
Ella has stepped out in day dress not once but several times. The first time was a few weeks ago now, when she strolled outside in a sexy backless dress, something which would usually be saved for late-night escapades. And we don't think we've seen a Love Island girl ever wear anything remotely like this whilst the sun is shining. As long as it's not a date, it's always a bikini or a swimsuit. Always.
In last night's episode, she wore another dress from the same brand as before, Jaded London. This time it was a knitted halter-neck with a wavy hemline. Serious cute and sadly sold out.
On this series of Love Island, it's the boys who have been taking the lead in the fashion stakes. With the introduction of the day dress, however, we predict this series will certainly include more statement fashion, meaning Tasha's crown as the show's fashion queen might be under threat.
Ella's first day dress was very sheer so it could be argued that the piece could double up as a cover up. What do you think? Rule break or no rule break?
So good it's out of stock, we've listed some alternatives with similar vibes.

Backless with a halter-neck, this is a dress we'd break any fashion protocol for.
