Maura Higgins showed ex Pete Wicks what he was missing in a stunning mini dress at a MAC Cosmetics event at Brown Thomas Grafton Street in Dublin on Thursday.
The Love Island star, 34, let her hair down for the night at the launch of MAC Nudes Campaign – following her bitter split from Pete.
The Irish beauty, who recently stunned in a striking new campaign for the brand, headed back to Ireland for the night to celebrate.
Adorned with a sexy semi-sheer side, Maura put on a racy display in the figure-hugging gown.
She complemented the busty garment with pink court heels and a voluminous brunette fringed wig.
It comes after it was claimed that had been seen back on Raya, a celebrity dating app reserved exclusively for the rich and famous.

A screenshot of the alleged profile obtained by The Sun, shows Maura looking stunning in a sheer strapless gown, which she wore for last year’s Love Island USA final.
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 hasn’t used the app in a year and has now deactivated her account as she 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 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.

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. 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.’
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.’
