Get Love Island's Ella's Dior bikini dupe for just £11 | The Sun
LOVE ISLAND is back in full force, and not only are there recouplings, head-turning but also impressive outfits too, both day and night.
One look we are head over heels for is Ella Thomas' blue Dior bikini.
- Blue Dior Oblique Technical Fabric Top and bottoms, £410 for top, and £410 for bottoms, from Dior – buy here
This year, the Love Island wardrobes are filled with pre-loved vintage pieces from eBay, which we think this bikini is part of as the exact pale blue hue is not available to shop anywhere.
There is a very similar style available to shop online at Dior for over £800.
Ella's two-piece swim set features the Dior logo emblazoned on the front of the top and bottoms in a royal blue and white colour, with a blue hem and straps.

The style is a halterneck top, which ties around the neck and back, as well as side-tie bikini bottoms.
We've searched high and low, but can currently only find the bikini at vintage retailer, Rokit, with Ella's exact bikini bottoms for £177 down from £255.
But this is limited stock, and no top is available.
However, the same style bikini, just in a darker blue hue, blended with a soft pale blue and cream base, is available to shop online at Dior.

However, brand new, the Blue Dior Oblique Technical Fabric bikini top and bottom don't come cheap.
As they are sold separately for shoppers to mix and match, retail for £410 per piece.
Forking out close to £1000 for a bikini you may only wear for a few days in the summer or on holiday is not for everyone, so luckily, we have found a similar alternative to shop for less.
In The Style has created a stunning blue and white bikini set, from former TOWIE star Billie Faiers' range, which looks similar to the real thing.
Whilst it doesn't have the iconic Dior print, it does give a similar vibe to the blue and white pattern.
The Blue Printed Knot Front Bikini Top, and Blue Printed Frill Strap Bikini Top, are two styles we have bookmarked for our next summer vacation.
- Billie Faiers Blue Printed Knot front Bikini Top, £12.60 (Was £18) from In The Style – buy here
- Bille Faiers Blue Printed Frill Strap Bust Detail Bikini Top, £11.20 (Was £16) – buy here
The Blue Printed Knot Front Bikini Top comes in the same blue and white colours as Ella's bikini, though the print varies slightly.
The In The Style variation boasts a tropical print, instead of the brand's logo.
Another difference is the straps.
In The Style's straps are thicker and fit around the shoulder instead of around the neck.
Though they can be adjusted, they are fixed onto the body of the bikini top, not tied around the neck or waist like Ella's Dior version, while the fastening is a slot fastening instead of tie.
But, there is a tie front detail too, which provides extra feminine touch we love.
Another similar number from Billie's In The Style range includes the Blue Printed Frill Strap Bust Detail Bikini Top, which is similar to the Blue Printed Knot Front Bikini Top.
The Frill Strap Bikini top does what it says on the tin – it features a stunning ruffle detail along the shoulder strap, which stands this swimwear essential out from the crowd.
This number features cup detail, underwire support, as well as back fastening.
The two In The Style dupes are flattering, supportive, and stylish, but are also currently on sale and much more affordable than their designer counterpart.
Both come in UK dress sizes 6 to 24, though sizes are selling out fast and are currently on offer.
The Printed Knot design has been slashed from £18 to £12, while the Frill Strap design has gone down from £16 to £11.20 in the In The Style sale.
If you wish to complete the set, you can do so too, as there are full briefs, as well as high-waisted bikini bottoms to shop in the sale too, with prices starting as low as £11 and fetching no more than £22.
Why stop there? Shoppers can also secure matching beach cover ups in the same colour and print as the bikini.
If gym gear is more your style, you'll be over the moon to learn Gymshark has an impressive sale on – plus the chance to shop a further 20% off.
