Reality television sensation Maura Higgins has been celebrating her 35th birthday in spectacular fashion, jetting off to Dubai for an extravagant girls' trip with close friends.
Dubai Birthday Extravaganza
The Love Island star shared multiple glamorous updates from her luxury holiday with her Instagram followers, beginning with a sultry selfie posted on Tuesday that showcased her daring birthday outfit. Higgins stunned in a burgundy sheer wrap halterneck dress featuring a dramatic cut-out at the bodice, perfectly capturing the essence of her stylish celebrations.
Accompanying Higgins on her Middle Eastern adventure were model Sophia Laura and photographer Liat Benezra, with the trio enjoying Dubai's premium hospitality and dining experiences. The night before her main birthday celebrations, Maura treated herself and her friends to a lavish dinner at Mott 32 Dubai, the city's high-end Chinese restaurant.
For this sophisticated dining experience, the television personality showcased her impressive physique in a skimpy white ruffled bardot crop top paired with low-rise white jeans that highlighted her toned abdominal muscles.
Heartfelt Celebrations and Beauty Confessions
Beyond the glamorous outfits and luxury dining, Higgins shared glimpses of the thoughtful birthday preparations at her hotel. Her bedroom had been decorated with pink 'Happy Birthday' signage and heart-shaped balloons, complemented by an impressive cake and a beautiful bouquet of roses.
Capturing the emotional significance of the moment, Maura wrote 'My heart is so full' as the caption to this particular Instagram post, indicating just how much she valued the celebrations with her closest companions.
This lavish birthday trip comes shortly after Higgins made headlines for openly discussing her beauty regimen, specifically confirming that she receives Botox treatments from Dr. Rosh. This marked a significant shift from her previous denials about using injectables, with the reality star now being transparent about her cosmetic maintenance while crediting her skincare routine and professional treatments for her glowing complexion.
Television Ventures and Future Projects
Beyond her birthday celebrations and beauty revelations, Higgins has been making waves in the television industry with her upcoming appearance on The Celebrity Traitors USA, scheduled to premiere on January 8. The promotional material features Maura in a striking green latex outfit, with her hair pulled into a severe bun as she stares intensely at the camera.
Speaking about her experience filming the show, which was shot at Ardross Castle in the Scottish Highlands despite its American cast, Higgins described the upcoming season as containing 'utter carnage and utter just mad' moments. She particularly teased one scene occurring about halfway through the series that she claims represents 'the greatest moment in Traitors' history.'
The television personality will be competing for a cash prize of $250,000 intended for her chosen charity, joining other notable participants including Donna Kelce, mother of NFL stars Jason and Travis Kelce. Hosted by Scottish actor Alan Cumming rather than the British version's Claudia Winkelman, the show will be available for UK viewers to stream on BBC iPlayer.
