Ariana Madix, who had been hosting Love Island USA since 2024, has revealed that putting up stunning fashionable appearances requires a lot of behind-the-scenes work.
The Vanderpump Rules alum said that designers are hesitant to loan their outfits to reality TV.
According to People, Madix said that it is "difficult to convince" designers to lend their outfits for her wardrobe. Speaking on Marie Clair's Nice Talk podcast, Madix described that designers may not comply with her attempts to create a viral look for the show.
"It actually is difficult sometimes to convince fashion houses or designers that wearing the look will actually be a moment," Madix said in the Aug. 27 interview. She added, "I think there's some hesitation sometimes with fashion where they think, 'We don't want to loan a reality show,' and we have to say, 'Trust me, it's gonna look great, it's gonna go far."
Madix joined the television franchise in 2024 and has since then left no stone unturned to dish out spectacular looks. This, along with her signature slow entry walk, has made her a fan favorite. Despite the success, Madix still struggles to translate her fashionable vision into reality when her favorite designers do not cooperate.

Ariana Madix has come a long way from slinging ****** tails at SUR: The Love Island USA host recently landed her first Emmy nomination for Outstanding Host for a Reality or Reality Competition Program.
"It felt very surreal," Madix, 41, said of the nomination, according to an article Marie Claire published on Monday, August 3. "It's really going to hit when we start scheduling things closer to the Emmys. Whenever they do billboards for Love Island, I'm always [in Fiji]. If they do something to promote this, I'll probably get very emotional."
Madix has already expanded her résumé beyond reality TV, making her Broadway debut as Roxie Hart in Chicago and landing a guest role as Dr. Emerson on NBC's comedy St. Denis Medical. With new opportunities continuing to open up, she is already thinking about what comes next.
"What are the loftiest goals possible? EGOT status is probably the biggest," Madix said, per the outlet.
An EGOT is one of the entertainment industry's most prestigious achievements, earned by artists who have won all four major entertainment awards: an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony.
