Olivia Attwood and Maura Higgins had an awkward encounter at the Glamour Women of the Year Awards in New York, where both arrived in strikingly similar sheer black dresses. The former Love Island stars, both 34, attended the event at The Plaza hotel, with Olivia wearing a floor-length see-through gown with puff sleeves and black leather gloves, while Maura opted for a plunging neckline version.
The fashion clash comes amid reports of a feud between the two reality TV personalities, with claims that Maura has been 'copying' Olivia's career moves. Both began as Formula One Grid Girls before appearing on Love Island—Olivia in series three and Maura in series five—and later moved into broadcasting.
According to sources, Olivia was left 'shocked' after learning Maura had signed with the same PR agency, Align PR, for the second time. A source told The Sun: 'Olivia's never been Maura’s biggest fan as she always got the sense she was trying to follow in her footsteps.' Olivia reportedly left her previous agency, Dundas Communications, to avoid competing with Maura.
However, Maura's friends deny any rivalry, stating her decision was based on opportunities in the US, where she is preparing for Traitors USA. A friend said: 'The decision to work with Align has nothing to do with Olivia.'
