Samie Elishi announced this week that she is expecting her first child with her boyfriend, Tyrique Hyde.
Now, following the personal milestone, the Love Island star is celebrating a major career moment after being named the new face of Lipsy London and unveiling her latest collection on Wednesday.
The 26-year-old Love Island: All Stars winner turned heads in a series of partywear looks, including a black lace camisole styled with a purple pencil skirt that showcased her figure.
In another striking image from the campaign, Samie posed in a gold bodycon outfit that accentuated her enviable silhouette.
She also modelled a black faux-fur coat paired with velvet shorts, confidently working the camera during the glamorous shoot.
The new Lipsy London collection launched on Tuesday, although the brand is releasing the pieces in stages, with some items not expected to arrive for another two to three weeks.

Samie first rose to fame after appearing on Love Island in 2023. She returned for Love Island: All Stars in January, winning the series alongside Ciaran Davies.
The pair split shortly after the show ended, and Samie soon began dating fellow former Love Island contestant Tyrique Hyde.
On Tuesday, Samie responded to what she described as the “millions of opinions” surrounding her pregnancy.
The couple shared their joyful baby news in a sweet Instagram video, just hours before appearing together on the red carpet at the Pride of Britain Awards.
Soon afterwards, Samie addressed the “ugly and scary” side of social media by posting a black-and-white photograph of 27-year-old Tyrique touching her growing baby bump.
She wrote: “Thank you for all the love we’ve received in the past 24 hours, appreciate you all. This world can be an ugly, scary place at times, especially with social media and millions of opinions. It’s not always right, but sadly it’s the way it is.”
“However, the good always outweighs the bad. We’re soo blessed and happy right now. All our lovely comments and messages haven’t gone unnoticed xxxx.”
Samie and Tyrique revealed the news through a video montage featuring their first scan and precious early moments from the pregnancy, set to Jodeci’s 1991 hit Forever My Lady.
Tyrique also shared the announcement on Instagram, writing: “Don’t make a scene. Can’t wait for this next chapter.. Love you @Samie Elishi.”

Samie hard-launched her new romance with Tyrique, 27, in April, as she shared a glimpse of a romantic Morocco trip on Instagram.
In March, Ciaran, 23, broke his silence on his split from Samie around the time she was heard to be ‘growing close’ to Tyrique.
Ciaran revealed what really happened between him and Samie, while also addressing rumours of a crossover involving Tyrique.
The reality star insisted their relationship in the villa was ‘good’ and ‘genuine’, but their picture-perfect romance quickly unravelled after their win.
Ciaran explained: ‘From leaving the villa I went straight back to South Wales… Samie went straight to London. We were talking everyday, we would be on Facetime every night the communication was great – we set plans for meeting up with each other a week later.’
The rugby player revealed he later travelled to London to meet Samie’s family and take her out for dinner, but things soon changed after he returned home.
He said: ‘I knew she was busy, she was going to New York. Then the messages started to get very very distant. I felt the energy wasn’t being matched.’

The star added that after trying to call her, he realised the relationship had become ‘one-sided’.
Earlier this year, insiders told the Daily Mail’s Molly Clayton that Samie’s connection with semi-professional footballer Tyrique may have been brewing long before she ever decided to try her luck again on the All Stars version of the show.
According to a source close to the situation, the cracks between Samie and Ciaran appeared almost immediately after the show wrapped.
And long before rumours of their romance surfaced, Tyrique had made no secret of his attraction to Samie.
In an online clip months before Samie entered the villa, when asked hypothetically who he would most like to share a bed with, Tyrique didn’t hesitate: ‘Samie, she’s very good looking.’
Then, days before the latest All Stars season started, he admitted: ‘I rate Samie. She’s a good-looking girl. I’ve seen her in real life and I have been around her at events and she is so cool.’
The Lipsy x Samie Elishi AW26 collection is available to shop online at www.next.co.uk/lipsy and in selected Next / Lipsy stores nationwide.
