Former Love Island star Maura Higgins has sent fans into a frenzy after hinting she will be attending the prestigious Golden Globe Awards this Sunday night.
From Love Island to Hollywood's Red Carpet
The 35-year-old Irish television personality, who shot to fame on the 2019 series of Love Island, appears to be successfully cracking the American market. Her latest venture, a glamorous debut on the US version of The Traitors, has proven a hit with stateside audiences.
Her rising profile across the pond is set to reach new heights as she prepares to rub shoulders with Hollywood's elite at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California. On Saturday night, Maura took to her Instagram to share her overwhelming excitement, posting a snap of a rail of designer dresses and an array of high-heeled shoes during her outfit fitting.
Alongside the image, she penned: 'Fitting for The Golden Globes like WHAT??!!!!!!!'
Making a Mark on The Traitors US
Maura's transition to US television is off to a strong start. After just one episode of The Traitors US Season 4, which aired this week, fans have heaped praise on the star. On social media platform X, viewers declared their admiration with posts like 'Maura Higgins is such a baddie' and 'All in love with Maura Higgins'.
Hosted by Scottish actor Alan Cumming, the season has already revealed Candiace Dillard Bassett, Lisa Rinna, and Rob Rausch as the initial Traitors. Maura, who has openly shared her hope of being selected as a Traitor, has vowed to bring the drama with a 'devious' strategy to eliminate her co-stars one by one.
Ahead of the premiere, she teased: 'Well, I'm starting off wearing a cape. So... I'm hoping I'm a Traitor and I hope to kill everyone one by one. If someone comes for me at the round table, God love them.'
A Star on the Rise in America
Maura's bid for US fame has been building for some time. It was reported back in June 2025 that she had agreed to appear on The Traitors US. A source told The Sun at the time: 'Maura is becoming a huge star across the pond and her slot on The Traitors is just part of that. The future is bright - and has stars and stripes.'
Her stateside celebration continued off-screen when she stepped out in West Hollywood for the launch show viewing party, wearing tights boldly embossed with the message 'Mom, I am a rich man'.
As she prepares for her Golden Globes debut, Maura Higgins exemplifies the modern reality star's path to mainstream entertainment success, seamlessly transitioning from UK television to the glamorous heart of the American awards season.
