In a dazzling turn of events, Love Island Season 10 sensation Ella Thomas has skyrocketed to new heights, securing a jaw-dropping multi-million dollar deal with Rihanna’s globally celebrated Savage x Fenty brand. The reality TV star, who captivated audiences with her charm on the hit ITV2 dating series, has now stepped into the spotlight as a key player in Rihanna’s fashion and beauty empire, proving her star power extends far beyond the villa.
Ella’s meteoric rise began last year when she met the pop icon herself, Rihanna, leaving an indelible impression on the superstar and her team. Her charisma and poise led to her being handpicked to host the glamorous Fenty Beauty Cafe pop-up in London’s Covent Garden on Thursday, a role that has now evolved into an exclusive, high-profile partnership with the Fenty brand. A spokesperson revealed, “Ella’s meeting with Rihanna was a game-changer. She wowed everyone, and this multi-million dollar deal cements her as a rising star in the fashion and presenting world.”
The Scottish beauty, who has long been a fan of Fenty’s bold and inclusive ethos, took to Instagram to share her excitement with her legion of followers. Posting a series of stunning snaps from the Fenty Beauty Cafe event, Ella wrote, “From fangirling over @fentybeauty to hosting and now signing with them! Beyond grateful for this dream come true. Pop by the Fenty Beauty Cafe pop-up to see the magic!” Her post was met with an outpouring of love from fans and fellow influencers alike. Content creator Uche Natori exclaimed, “Absolutely iconic!” while Love Island alum Uma Jammeh cheered, “SLAY QUEEN!” alongside a flurry of heart emojis. Survival of the Fittest’s Mariam Musa added, “Yasss, you’re killing it!” with heart-eyes emojis.
Ella turned heads at the event, rocking a chic brown and white plaid two-piece set from Savage x Fenty, perfectly paired with brown boots, gold hoop earrings, and a sleek watch. Photos captured her posing confidently beside the Fenty Beauty pop-up van and under a stylish umbrella, exuding effortless glamour. Other shots offered a glimpse inside the vibrant pop-up, where Ella’s natural hosting flair shone through.
This landmark deal comes as Rihanna’s Savage x Fenty continues to dominate the fashion and beauty world, celebrated for its inclusivity and trendsetting designs. However, the news also arrives amid a wave of anticipation from Rihanna’s music fans, who were recently left disappointed after expecting an announcement about new music. Marking 20 years since her debut album Music of the Sun, the 37-year-old mogul reflected on her journey from Barbados to global superstardom in a heartfelt post. While fans hoped for news of a new album, Rihanna instead expressed gratitude for their unwavering support since 2005, leaving them eager for what’s next.
For Ella Thomas, this exclusive deal with Fenty is a career-defining moment, transforming her from Love Island star to a global ambassador for one of the most influential brands in the world. With her undeniable talent and Rihanna’s powerhouse platform behind her, Ella is poised to take the fashion and entertainment industries by storm. Watch this space—Ella Thomas is just getting started.
