Season seven Love Island star Olandria has been on a fashion streak lately. Ever since her debut last summer, it seems the Bama Barbie is showing no signs of slowing down. She’s been to plenty of places and appeared in many photo shoots and commercials.
One of the most recent projects she’s been working on is being a certified perfume girlie. The season seven runner-up linked up with Jo Malone at one of her favorite fragrant houses to highlight the new “Yuzu Zest” perfume.
“I’ve been obsessed with their fragrances for years, so I was already saying yes before I even heard the rest of it,” she told Hypebae.
Olandria, spoke about how she was always obsessed with fragrance and describes the smell of Yuzu Zest as spring, turning into summer.
“Everyone knows I’m a little fragrance-obsessed, and I’m especially obsessed with Yuzu zest. It’s bright, fizzy, and incredibly fresh. The kind of scent that instantly makes you think of spring turning into summer,” she stated.
Just recently, Olandria stunned with a rocking pixie cut that quickly took over Milan‘s Fashion Week. When it comes to black women, a pixie cut is very iconic. It’s not too long, and it’s short enough to leave an impression.
However, it wasn’t just any regular pixie cut that Olandria wore at the fashion show; the season seven Love Island USA runner-up wore a wolf-cut pixie. Installed by hairstylist Keisha Moore, Olandria sported the cut in a combination of many pictures, paired with soft, dark clothing. A nice, sleek, see-through shirt coupled with a lace-like bra, while wearing black jewelry to complete the outfit.
For one particular photo shoot she collaborated on with Ruhal Mishara. Additionally, for Paris Fashion Week, one of her many outfits included a piece from Mishra.
Called “The Heart of Gold,” Olandria stunned in shiny gold fabric that wraps around her entire upper body. It covered her shoulders and extended down to her torso, glowing a bright gold. Because of the texture, it gave off a glittery, shiny, yellowish look that was sleek and dazzling. A bright and bold stance as she represented the Indian jewelry fashion designer.
“All billionaires should give her their money. She obviously deserves the world like look at her. Olandria for Ruhal Mishra Haute Couture SS26,” One X, formerly known as Twitter, user said.
Many people were amazed by her royal look, including British journalist Charisse Kenion for British vogue.
“Because she deserves it all, and this is from someone who never watched her show,” Kenion said.
Along with her gold look, she was also boosted in the makeup department. She had a full-face beat, with highlighted blush on her cheeks and bedazzling eyelashes. Her eyebrows were also done, with a special arch from her regular bold eyebrows. As for her hair, she slicked it back to draw more attention to her golden outfit, making it all come together. As for her jewelry, she wore golden earrings to match her couture. 
People were so amazed that fans even sketched her wearing the couture.
“Imagine having a fan sketch before you get back to your hotel room,” said one fan.
Because of her iconic viral photo shoot, it became the number one trending topic on X, with millions of people talking about it. This isn’t the first time Olandria has gone viral after participating in photo shoots and brand deals; just a few months prior, she graced the cover of Bazaar, sporting a bold black dress as she posed. In another photo shoot, she stepped out in a bright red outfit and swapped her long hair for a short pixie cut.
In some of her earliest photo shoots post Love Island. She stunned alongside her boyfriend, Nicholas, during a Kulani Kinis photo shoot overseas, which kick-started her fashion career.
