Shoppers can get Ekin Su’s risque pink prom look with these affordable dupes

On Monday night, the nation’s favourite dating show came to an end, crowning Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and Davide Sanclimenti winners of ITV’s eighth series of Love Island. The ‘Turkish Delight and Italian Stallion’ were fan favourites to win after joining the show as ‘bombshell contestants’ after the series began.

During the final episode Ekin-Su stunned viewers with a bubblegum pink ball gown with a daring split - and now you can get the look for yourself.

The four remaining couples attended a summer ball ahead of the winners being announced, and Davide said Ekin Su looked ‘beautiful’ as she stepped out in the strappy number.

The winner’s racy dress saw a thigh high split that almost risked a wardrobe malfunction, showing off her long legs. But shoppers have been scrambling to the internet to find similar styles to replicate Ekin-Su’s look.

On Twitter, viewers swooned over the look, with @Susan12319069 writing: “Ekin-Su always absolutely stunning especially in that pink dress.” and @lmlmoons adding: “Ekin-Su’s pink dress was everything.”

Luckily, we’ve found some pretty close dupes with prices starting at £30, so you won’t need to break the bank to achieve a similar outfit.

The most affordable dupe we could find was this Isla & Bird satin slip beach dress, in pink, which came in at £30 . The dress comes in sizes six to 18 and while it has a higher v-neck than Ekin-Su’s number, it has a sassy side split and lace up back, making it perfect for summer.

The dress is available on ASOS , and new customers can get an extra 15 per cent off at the checkout with the code ‘HIFRIEND’, taking the price down to £25.50.

Then there’s the Meshki Jade dress , which is very similar to Ekin-Su's gown, for £79 . The cowl neck backless maxi dress comes in sizes XXS to 3XL, and is available in various colours if pink isn’t your favourite.

It’s described as ‘the silhouette of the moment’, which is certainly true if Ekin-Su has anything to do with it. Much like her risque gown, it offers a lower front, plunging back and thigh high split, with adjustable straps for the perfect fit.

Another cowl neck number comes from Club London with the ‘Risk It All’ hot pink cami dress. The £65 dress is said to ‘steal the show’, just as Ekin-Su and Davide did. The asymmetric piece is delicate and feminine with cami straps that cross over the back and lace up for a high-impact design.

The brand added: “The modest hemline is balanced with an extreme thigh split that teases your bronzed pins, and the body has pleats to flatter your curves. For an unforgettable look this season, this dress is the one!”

And finally, NastyGal have the Satin Cowl Maxi Slip Dress on sale with 20 per cent off for £47.20 , in sizes XS to XL. The satin maxi is a floor length gown with zip fastening and cross back cami straps and is a great option under £50 to recreate the iconic look.
