Maya Jama has been hailed as a 'woman of the people' after swapping the glamour of the red carpet for pulling pints behind a pub bar on Wednesday evening. The Love Island host attended the star-studded V&A Summer Party at the South Kensington Museum, where she turned heads in a striking white Galliano gown. Other guests at the exclusive event included Sir Mick Jagger, Sir Bob Geldof, Ellie Goulding, Zawe Ashton, CMAT, David Furnish, Eve, Olly Alexander, Sadie Soverall, Edie Campbell, Isabella Wei, Anaïs Gallagher, Munroe Bergdorf, Jamie Lloyd, and designer Foday Dumbuya.
From Red Carpet to Pub
After posing for photographers at the museum, Jama headed to a local pub to catch England's World Cup match with friends. Still dressed in her glamorous outfit, the presenter surprised punters by stepping behind the bar to pour pints before kick-off. She later shared the moment on social media, captioning her Instagram carousel: "Galliano gown to the V&A museum & the pub."
Fans loved the contrast between her glamorous appearance and laid-back pub visit. One follower commented: "A girl who can do both," while another wrote: "She does it all – a woman of the people." A third joked: "Maya Balance Jama."
Recent England Support
The outing comes just days after Jama showed her support for England by posing in Bukayo Saka's No. 7 shirt and declaring: "It's coming home." She is currently splitting her time between London and Mallorca while hosting the latest series of Love Island.
Jama also recently made a surprise appearance in Blossoms' music video for their latest single, 'Meet Me In Love', lip-syncing in a sparkling silver dress inspired by Diana Ross. The band shared the video with the caption: "Huge love to @mayajama for bringing this music video to life. You're a star… and now, officially, a pop star."
World Cup Impact on Productivity
Jama's England World Cup support comes as new research from Freely, the free streaming platform backed by the BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5, found that 44% of Britons expect the tournament to affect their productivity as late-night kick-offs disrupt work and family routines. With some matches kicking off as late as 2am, fans are bracing for weeks of disrupted sleep. Despite the sleepless nights, 94% of fans say watching the matches live is still worth it.
