Rising like a phoenix from the ashes…or like a mermaid from the sea? Ariana Madix looks stunning in her latest revenge dress, a shiny blue number she wore on Love Island USA, the hit reality dating show on which makes a special guest appearance. With her beachy waves and an iridescent aqua dress, she looks like one of Ariel’s sisters. In the 1989 movie, they’re called Attina, Alana, Adella, Aquata, Arista and Andrina…is Ariana really such a stretch?
Her dress is the Mara Fringe Halter Dress from Cult Gaia, and while it’s sold out at some retailers, the off-white version is currently available on Revolve for $898.

In a clip from the show, Vanderpump Rules star Madix hosts a game called “Mr. & Mrs.,” which finds the contestants separated by gender and answering questions about their partners and history. How would you and your boo do at this?
Bringing even more drama to the villa…
If anyone can talk some sense into the Islanders, it’s Ariana Madix, who has been famously coupled and even more famously single and come out of it all with wisdom to share. In our post-Scandoval cover story with the star, she opened up about that oh-so-important part of relationships: sex. “I feel like I’m someone who craves intimacy outside of just penetrative sex. And that was something that I was deprived of for so long. As women, we might bring something up a bunch of times and then we just stop. That’s where I was at. I was like I cannot keep nagging this man to want to come home and spend time with me. The way that so many men act like they are entitled to your body and entitled to sex because you’re in a relationship with them. I am not your Fleshlight. I spelled out what I needed, but hello. It’s a two-person situation.” Words that apply to so many situations!
