Ariana Madix was the hot new bombshell who entered the villa on Love Island.

Madix, 39, was unrecognizable as a brunette during season 7, episode 9 of Love Island, in which she serves as the host. For the episode, she stepped out in a long brunette Italiya wig that was parted down the middle and styled in a curly blowout by Carl Bembridge. Her bold new look was a big change from her classic platinum blonde tresses.

The Vanderpump Rules alum had a full beat for her makeover, donning smokey eyeshadow that was blended to her crease with a shimmery bronze shade patted on her eyelids. She teamed the shadow, done by Krystal Dawn, with long, wispy eyelashes and black liner in her waterline, making her green eyes pop. The rest of her makeup featured dewy foundation, contoured and blushed cheeks, filled-in eyebrows and glossy, nude lips.

Playing into her bombshell look, Madix, who was styled by Emily Men, wore a sexy cherry red  RVNG outfit featuring a push-up corset, thick chokers — including a ball gag design — a voluminous cape and platform heels.

This isn’t the first stylish number Madix has rocked while hosting the dating show. On night one, she sparkled in a sheer custom Taylor Jean Cox design featuring a bedazzled silver scoop-neck top and low-waisted skirt that exposed her abs and legs. She wore her blonde tresses down and straightened for the premiere.
