You could just go down the fake blood and a bin bag route for Halloween, or, like Maura Higgins, you can turn to Hollywood for costume inspiration.

The Love Island star chose to emulate one of Julia Roberts’ most iconic roles as she dressed as Vivian Ward from the classic romcom Pretty Woman while attending bestie Molly-Mae Hague’s Pretty Little Thing party.

Maura, 30, donned the blue and white cut-out dress worn by sex worker Vivian before her makeover at the hands of Edward (Richard Gere), teamed with black thigh-high boots, a black hat and a blonde bob wig.

The reality star added hoop earrings, numerous necklaces and lashings of red lipstick to finish off the look.

In the 1990 movie Pretty Woman, Julia’s character famously wears a blonde wig over her red curls while working, before being picked up by wealthy businessman Edward.

He hires her for a week to pretend to be his girlfriend, and gives her thousands of dollars to buy a new wardrobe – leading to the iconic exchange (‘big mistake, big, huge’) with snooty shop assistants in Beverly Hills who don’t want Vivian in their store.

However, as this is a romcom, Edward soon falls in love with his escort.

While Maura chose to go down the movie tribute route with her costume, party host Molly-Mae opted for a scarier approach, daubing fake blood on her throat for a gruesome ‘Miss Halloween’ costume.

The Love Island stars’ night out comes after Maura split from boyfriend Giovanni Pernice.

The pair sparked rumours they had gone their separate ways after four months of dating when they both deleted couple pictures from their Instagram accounts.

Giovanni, 31, then confirmed that they had broken up, but quashed rumours that the relationship ended badly.

The Strictly Come Dancing professional wrote on Instagram: ‘Firstly, great relationships with great people can come to a natural end. This has been the case for me recently.

‘There was absolutely no wrongdoing and this should be the end of any speculation.’

The Italian dancer is currently partnered with actress Rose Ayling-Ellis on Strictly, and the couple are tipped to lift the Glitterball this series after a string of stunning routines.

Maura has previously dated fellow islanders Curtis Pritchard and Chris Taylor.

While the Irish star is single again, she has plenty to keep her busy, as her TV profile continues to grow.

Maura landed her first hosting job this year as the presenter of Glow Up Ireland, which concluded its first series earlier this month, and there are rumours she is being lined up for I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!
