You won’t believe how different these Love Island USA stars look now vs their pre-villa days
One is literally unrecognisable
From pre-villa procedures to post-fame glow-ups, some Love Island USA stars have transformed so much, they’re barely recognisable from their reality TV debut. Whether it’s a nose job booked weeks before filming, a total rebrand on Instagram, or a glam evolution sparked by a taste of fame, these Islanders are proof that a little tweak (or a full overhaul) can go a long way. Let’s take a look at the Islanders whose before-and-afters span both sides of the villa doors — and trust us, the differences are wild.
Leslie Golden
Leslie left season three early, but her post-villa glow-up is unforgettable. She’s ditched the island girl vibe for full-on jet-set chic—living in Hawaii, dating pro athlete Austin Keil, and curating a feed that looks straight off a magazine shoot.
With sun-drenched skin, bold makeup looks, and toned abs for days, she’s gone from flirty contestant to influencer main character.
Her transformation isn’t just physical, it’s a whole aesthetic evolution. Leslie’s not just glowing… she’s thriving.
Cierra Ortega
Cierra made waves during season seven for her confidence and cool-girl style, then everything kinda went awry when she was axed from the villa a week before the final.
Controversies aside, people noticed some changes in Cierra’s looks from before she went on the show.
With fuller curls replacing her straightened hair and what appears to be subtle tweaks to her lips and smile, Cierra’s glow-up leans natural but polished.
Her style has also shifted. She gave less laid-back Islander and more high-glam influencer. Whether it’s makeup artistry or minor enhancements, one thing’s clear: post-villa Cierra is embracing her spotlight moment.
Huda Mustafa
Before stepping into the Love Island villa, Huda had already begun her transformation, traveling to Turkey just two months before filming for a rhinoplasty
Since the show, she’s leaned into a glam-meets-fitness aesthetic with sleek outfits, sculpted makeup, and a noticeably more defined physique.
Folks have praised her honesty and confidence, especially when addressing her pre-villa surgery. Huda’s glow-up is a mix of intentional change and fierce self-expression. And it’s seemingly helping her build a strong following off-screen.
Vanna Einerson
Vanna was only on Love Island USA briefly, but her appearance sparked immediate buzz.
After leaving the villa, she confirmed she’d had lip and breast enhancements, though she clarified that her face looked different on the show due to an allergic reaction. Today, she shares content flaunting her Barbie-like glam, complete with voluminous hair and polished styling.
Whether you love it or not, Vanna’s transformation is unapologetic, self-assured, and firmly rooted in her own beauty standards.
Sydney Paight
Since her time on season four, Sydney has embraced a major style evolution, swapping her bright red hair for long, jet-black locks and dialling up the glam.
People have compared her new look to Megan Fox’s, thanks to her sultry makeup, pouty lips, and ultra-toned physique. While she hasn’t confirmed any cosmetic tweaks, her glow-up is impossible to ignore.
From reality TV fave to full-on Insta baddie, Sydney’s post-villa presence proves she knows how to own the spotlight.
