‘Love Island USA’ Stars’ Glam to the Ebony Power 100 Awards

A reality TV crossover took place in Los Angeles on Monday night, when several “Love Island USA” stars from various seasons attended the 2026 Ebony Power 100 Awards.

Designed to recognize and celebrate the achievements of Black individuals across numerous industries, the Ebony Awards hosted a star-studded event at the Hollywood Palladium where former “Love Island” contestants walked the red carpet, some even posing together to the fans’ delight.

A common theme across contestants from Seasons Six, Seven, and Eight was the attention to detail when it came to the women’s hairstyles. Whether intentionally messy or shiny and sleek, the women of “Love Island” did not disappoint with the updos and colors they sported. Here, a closer look at some of the hair and beauty present on Monday night’s carpet.

Serena Page

Fan favorite and Season Six winner Serena Page balanced whimsicality and structure with her look on Monday. Styled by Kris Fe and dressed in a white Do Long Gown with a sheer collared bodice and satin tie, Page opted for a sweeter touch when it came to styling her long auburn-tinted brown locks. The 27-year-old content creator’s thick Dutch braid served as a crown at the base of her head, framing her pulled-back waves. For glam, Page kept it bronzed and autumnal, adding a warm touch with strategic pops of highlighter and flirty lashes. Light eye makeup and blush placed high on her cheekbones emphasized Page’s bone structure along with swoops of sheer highlight across the bridge of her nose and cheeks. Page finished the look with a dark brown lip liner, sheer pink-tinted lip gloss and a burgundy manicure.

JaNa Craig

Fresh off launching her own brand of eyelash extensions, JaNa Craig donned a red beaded minidress and statement choker for Monday’s event. Crafted by hairstylist Kia Nichelle, Craig’s shiny black hair was pulled back into a low, elaborate bun with loosely curled front pieces left out to frame Craig’s face. Gold eyeshadow wrapped around the 29-year-old TV personality’s eyes, paired with long swooping lashes placed on the outer corners of her top lids and bright pink blush placed high on her cheeks. A glossy nude brown lip tied Craig’s glam together.

Aniya Harvey

Season Eight’s Aniya Harvey sported a romantic look on the red carpet, donning a black lace Valdrin Sahiti dress with an extended cape. Adding to the drama of her appearance, Harvey opted for a voluminous updo, piling her long chocolate brown locks atop her head, leaving out a combed-over, face-framing strand styled by Davontae’ Washington. Shimmery cool-toned eye shadow coated Harvey’s lids, while light pink blush was placed along the curve of her cheekbones by makeup artist Ty Anderson. The recent Woods by Jordyn and BabyPhat collaborator finished her look off with an extended wing, light cluster lashes and a glossy lip.

Trinity Tatum

“Love Island” darling Trinity Tatum joined her castmate Harvey in donning a flattering updo. The Season Eight winner pulled her tight red curls into a high bun, allowing a few sparse curls to escape and trail down her face. Dressed in a strapless corseted black gown, Tatum opted for a “snatched-back” look, sporting kohl-rimmed eyes, spider-leg lash extensions, and bright blush blending seamlessly into her faint cut-crease black eye shadow. The 23-year-old reality star used brown lip liner and sheer gloss to tie together her glowing beauty, complete with swipes of highlighter across her nose and cheekbones.

Chelley Bissainthe

Season Seven contestant Chelley Bissainthe made a statement on the red carpet with her intricate updo, featuring long braided hair that looped around the back of her skull before coming to rest atop her head. The warm red undertones and slicked-back design drew attention to Bissainthe’s bright and glowing beauty, which featured warm golden eye shadow set off by thin and sharp black eyeliner. Like many fellow “Love Island” alumni, Bissainthe favored bubblegum blush and a glossy nude brown lip on the red carpet.

Kayda Bosse

Rounding off the group of “Love Island” stars, Season Eight’s Kayda Bosse channeled dark glam reminiscent of Morticia Addams at Monday’s event. Bosse’s glossy black hair was styled into a voluminous updo by frequent collaborator and hairstylist Tristan DeMarcus, who used loose face-framing money pieces to complete the look. Bosse’s sweeping lashes and kohl-rimmed waterline framed her blue eyes, pairing well with the drama of her dark, straight eyebrows. An ombré lip that added to her vampy beauty completed the glam designed by makeup artist Kenya Alexis.
