Love Island star Maura Higgins was in traffic-stopping form as she donned fancy dress for a huge Halloween bash in Manchester last night - dressed as an iconic Julia Roberts' movie character.
For Maura went full Pretty Woman to attend the fancy dress party at celebhaunt restaurant Tattu for Manchester fashion brand PrettyLittleThing.
Newly-single Maura, who has just split from Strictly Come Dancing star Giovanni Pernice, was dressed in the iconic outfit worn by Julia Roberts to portray Vivian Ward in the hit 1990 rom com Pretty Woman.
And she included every detail from the film - from Vivan's beloved cap worn over a blonde bobbed wig, to the racy white and blue cut-out dress and black leather "kinky" boots.
It was the outfit that in the movie working girl Vivian was wearing when she first meets tycoon Edward Lewis, played by Richard Gere, who get lost while driving down Hollywood Boulevard.
She even carried with her the red blazer jacket like the character wore in the film - most memorably when she heads to buy a new wardrobe of "ladylike" outfits on Rodeo Drive, when the snooty shop girls were mean to her.
The party was hosted by her fellow Love Island alumni Molly Mae Hague - although we're yet to see what fabulous Halloween outfit she wore for the occasion.
Reality star Maura posted a series of video clips on her Instagram stories inside the event - including topping up her bright red lipstick to keep in character as Vivian.
And she amused her friends with some role play from the movie, with some famous quotes from Vivian's best mate Kit.
The film became a global megahit and became known for a number of its famous lines, including Julia telling shop staff: "Big mistake. Huge."
The romance also saw Vivian say "I want the fairytale", before Edward makes a final gesture wins her back in the film's famous final scene.
Maura was back in Manchester on Thursday night to support her friend Molly Mae at her latest event for the city's online fashion giant PrettyLittleThing.
She posted a menu of treats that guests tucked into at Tattu, the Spinningfields restaurant known for its giant cherry blossom tree inside.
It appears a good night was had by all in Manchester - as the final photo on her Instagram stories shows a large late night McDonalds haul sprawled across her bed.
Maura shot to fame on the ITV2 dating show in 2019 and found romance on the show with dancer Curtis Pritchard but they later split.
She went instagram official with Strictly professional Giovanni in July, when he wrote "you're mine" as he shared a picture of the couple nose to nose in an embrace.
But earlier this week he confirmed that the couple had separated.
Posting to his Instagram story he explained the split and said there should be no more speculation about it.
He said: "Great relationships with great people can come to a natural end.
"This has been the case for me recently.
"There was absolutely no wrong-doing & this should be the end of any speculation."
The professional dancer then moved on to asking people to raise awareness for important issues, he said: "Whilst I respect & understand interest in my personal life wouldn't it be fantastic to instead use this space to raise awareness of subjects & issues which need the attention."
