How Ariana Madix prepares for each ‘Love Island USA’ episode

The host shares how her wardrobe and glam team work together during the show’s filming in Fiji.

As the current season of Love Island USA continues, host Ariana Madix has shared how her on-camera styling is managed during filming in Fiji.

Speaking to E! News, Madix explained that her appearance on the show is the result of advance planning and on-site coordination with her style team. Fittings take place before filming begins, followed by daily adjustments in collaboration with her stylist, makeup artist, and hairstylist.

“We are constantly sending each other inspo,” Madix said. “Then once we get here, we pull the looks together and make it all work.”

The team includes stylist Emily Men, makeup artist Krystal Dawn, and hairstylist Carl Bembridge, who reportedly traveled with about 70 pounds of hair tools and extensions to accommodate multiple styles over the course of the shoot.

Madix also credited regular workouts and hydration as part of her routine while filming. “I’m in the gym all the time… the gym is very important,” she noted.

While the cast competes in the villa, Madix’s evolving style has become part of the show’s broader visual identity this season.
