On May 8, Maura Higgins told Vulture she's leaving the Love Island USA villa for greener pastures—or should I say red carpets. Days later, the former Aftersun host started a new, Love Island-less chapter with her Cannes Film Festival debut on May 12. I tink she's well on her way to being a serious Hollywood star, don't you?
Nothing says "I made it" like attending the 2026 Cannes Film Festival four months after the Season 4 finale of The Traitors aired and slingshotted Higgins to It-girl status. If you weren't familiar with her reality TV run, you might assume she's a fixture of Cannes fashion. Stylist Kris Fe helped Higgins look familiar with the glitz and glamour of the French Riviera in a strapless black gown accented by a thick white band along the neckline. The design hailed from New York City designer Andrew Kwon.
