Former Love Island star Maura Higgins has sent temperatures soaring in the Big Apple, showcasing her incredibly toned midriff while stepping out in New York City. The Irish beauty is currently filming her first major Hollywood role, marking a significant career transition from reality television to professional acting.
From Villa to Silver Screen
The 33-year-old reality sensation turned heads in a stylish cropped black top that perfectly highlighted her sculpted abs, paired with matching trousers that accentuated her enviable figure. Her New York appearance comes as she begins filming for an undisclosed Hollywood project, though sources confirm this marks her official acting debut.
Fashion Forward in the Concrete Jungle
Maura's NYC street style proved why she's become a fashion icon since her Love Island fame. She completed her look with oversized sunglasses and wore her blonde locks in soft waves, demonstrating the confidence that made her a fan favourite during her 2019 villa stint.
The transformation from reality star to actress represents a calculated career move for Higgins, who has been carefully building her brand since leaving the ITV2 dating show. Her social media following of over 3 million fans has been eagerly watching her career progression.
Building an Empire Beyond Reality TV
Since her Love Island journey, Maura has:
- Secured numerous brand partnerships and fashion collaborations
- Made regular television appearances on shows like Dancing on Ice
- Built a substantial social media presence as an influencer
- Now ventures into professional acting with her Hollywood debut
Industry insiders suggest this acting role could be the breakthrough that establishes Maura as a serious entertainment professional rather than just a reality personality.
Her journey serves as inspiration for reality stars seeking to transition into mainstream entertainment, proving that with strategic career moves and dedicated fan support, such transitions are possible.
