Maura Higgins displayed impeccable style and slender frame once again on Wednesday night as she attended the Oh Polly London Fashion Week show, after she was reportedly spotted on a celebrity dating app.
The Love Island star, 34, recently split from TOWIE’s Pete Wicks, and showed him just what he was missing at the star-studded runway show.
She slipped into a cream knit gown for the event, which clung to every inch of her toned figure and boasted a backless design for added sex appeal.
Maura kept her accessories simple, teaming the halterneck number with a number of gold bracelets and rings and a pair of statement earrings.
She swept her brunette hair up into a high messy bun and sported a chic new fringe, while she completed her striking look with a full face of flawlessly applied makeup.
Her appearance at the fashion show comes after it was claimed that had been seen back on Raya, a dating app reserved exclusively for the rich and famous.

Her job is listed as ‘TV host’, while in her bio Maura jokes about the price of the app – which starts at £9.99 a month – writing: ‘Who would have thought we have to pay to get a date nowadays?’
However, sources claimed to the publication that the reality star is not ready to get back into the dating scene, so soon after her split from ex Pete, 37.
A friend said: ‘Maura’s had a really tough time after everything with Pete. Dating again isn’t something she’s interested in, she just wants to be single.
‘Her account popped up on Raya but she’s deactivated it and said she’s not used it in a year.’
MailOnline has contacted representatives for Maura for comment.
It comes after Maura recently took a swipe at Pete, suggesting the Strictly Come Dancing star had cheated on her.
She has claimed his infidelity ended their relationship as she pulled the plug on their time together after discovering texts on Pete’s phone to other women that she didn’t like.
After MailOnline revealed their romance was over on Valentine’s Day, Maura lashed out by claiming Pete was ‘probably cheating’ when asked where he was as she celebrated her single status at London hotspot Sheesh.

She was pictured wearing a red-hot revenge dress on Friday evening after gifting herself a large bouquet of roses.
However, a source told MailOnline that Pete did not cheat on Maura, despite her claims that she called it quits over his behaviour.
Pete is said to be ‘hurt’ by the accusations and claims the messages were simply innocent texts to female friends and colleagues.
They told MailOnline: ‘The truth is Pete did nothing wrong. He did not cheat.
‘The messages were simply innocent communication with friends and colleagues – he often messages friends of the same sex but it wasn’t cheating.’
Sources close to Maura told how she found the ‘innocent’ texts shortly before they agreed to part ways.
But according to the source, Pete finds the claims ‘bizarre’ and admits they’re particularly painful as he’s been trying hard to repair his ‘bad boy’ reputation following failed romances with the likes of Megan McKenna and Chloe Sims.
The source explained: ‘Pete has always been open and honest about errors made in his past and how he struggles to commit in relationships.

‘He was upfront with Maura from the beginning of their romance. To continue the same narrative when he’s now a better man is very unfair. It’s not the same old Pete, he has worked really hard to mature and better himself over the years.
‘He hasn’t done anything wrong and Maura’s claims are unsubstantiated and just bizarre.’
They added: ‘He still adores her and the last thing he wants to do is publicly or privately trash her.’
MailOnline revealed last week that the reality stars recently agreed to part ways after a series of rows over the text messages.
‘There have been a few clashes and it was eventually agreed they were better off as friends.
‘Those closest to them know it’s been a very on and off relationship, which is why they were so resistant to go public in the first place. They remain close and share a deep connection.’
A friend added: ‘You never know with Maura and Pete, the attraction is so strong that you wouldn’t rule out reunion at some point – even in the short term.’
Maura entered the I’m A Celebrity jungle as a late arrival with Reverend Richard Coles, while Pete delighted BBC viewers on Strictly performing alongside pro dancer Jowita Przystal at the exact same time.
Also in attendance at the Oh Polly show was fellow Love Islander Ella Thomas, who flashed her toned midriff in a brown pleated miniskirt and matching crop top
While Arabella Chi proudly left her blossoming baby bump on full display in a black crop top with a plunging neckline and coordinating satin trousers
She announced she was pregnant with her first child in December – a baby girl with her boyfriend Billy Henty
Love Islander Leah Taylor was also in attendance, putting on a leggy display in a cream corset minidress with a structured floral skirt
Twin sisters Daisy and Phoebe Tomlinson complemented each other in similar figure-hugging red dresses, with Daisy opting for a burgundy number and Phoebe choosing a very busty gown
As soon as both shows finished, the couple finally had the chance to reunite, spending Christmas together at Glasson Lakehouse Co. Westmeath, close to Maura’s hometown in
Ireland.
Speaking on a podcast interview in January, Pete expressed his fondness for Maura, explaining the pair had been supporting each other from afar from six years.
He said: ‘Maura and I have known each other for a long time now… about six years. We have the same sense of humour, she’s super intelligent and I think that is sometimes something that people don’t realise about Maura.
‘She’s incredibly witty. We have always been there for each other for the past six years at a distance. It’s different now. We spend more time together now than we did before.
‘My relationship with her is that I think she’s a great person and I would hope that she thinks I’m alright.’
