Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu Shines in Minimal Gown at NY Fashion Week After Joining Netflix Reality Show

New York Fashion Week is often home to the likes of Anna Wintour.

Yet the prestigious style event saw a wholly different clientele on Tuesday, as Love Island star Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu graced the FROW at the Bronx and Banco Spring 2026 show, alongside fellow Islander Grace Jackson.

The reality star, 31, opted for a saucy ensemble which left very little to the imagination with gaping cut-outs in her skimpy dress and a bra on full display.

The look would no doubt leave fashion lovers clutching their pearls thanks to the underboob on display alongside her ripped abs in the barely-there gown.

Elsewhere, Grace, who appeared on Love Island last year and in January’s All Star season, wore a dramatic look comprising silk and feathers.

Her stateside trip comes after it was revealed that she has signed up to a huge US show after admitting she hit ‘rock bottom’ following her stint on Celebrity Big Brother.

The reality star was evicted fourth from the ITV series in March 2024, after fellow housemates accused her of being fake and playing up for the cameras.

Earlier this year, Ekin-Su opened up about the difficult aftermath during an appearance on Jamie Laing’s Great Company podcast.

The star revealed she received death threats after the show aired, describing it as the ‘wrong show at the wrong time.’

The backlash took a toll on her mental health, leading her to spend hours crying on the floor before seeking help from a therapist.

Now, Ekin-Su is ready for a fresh start as she has been announced as one of the cast members for Inside: USA. Landing on Netflix on September 21, the reality show is based on a hit format created by UK YouTube group the Sidemen.

The show brings together internet personalities to live under one roof, where they’re constantly filmed and pushed to their limits through a series of challenges for a shared cash prize.

While the setup echoes Celebrity Big Brother – with its confined living space and 24/7 surveillance – Inside: USA introduces a competitive edge.

The FROW comprised Kiki Iriafen, Olivia Nelson-Ododa, Rachel Hilbert, Grace Rosà, Ekin-Su and Olivia Walker Bronx (L-R)

Contestants must work together to complete tasks and protect their prize fund, with even basic necessities coming at a cost.

Ekin-Su will be sharing the house with a mix of US celebrities, including Selling Sunset star Breana ‘Bre’ Tiesi, along with popular streamers and YouTubers such as Sketch, Jay Cinco, Sydney Thomas, and Max Fosh.

Ekin-Su told how her road to rock bottom started with her split from her Love Island ex Davide Sanclimenti, before she then headed into the famous Celebrity Big Brother house while she still ‘felt worthless’.

On hitting rock bottom, she told Jamie: ‘It was a few times actually, it was after I broke up from my ex because it was hard to beak up with him as I still loved him.
