‘Love Island’ Star Amaya Papaya Nearly Bares All In Sparkly Micro Minidress

Amaya Elizabeth Espinal — also known by the nickname “Amaya Papaya” —  dialed up après-ski glamour when she dropped a fresh photo carousel on Instagram on Thursday, January 15, giving followers a glossy look at her Lake Tahoe, California getaway with a mix of sultry nightwear and alpine-ready style.

The star of Love Island, 26, posed in a warmly lit lodge setting wearing a shimmering blush-toned mini dress embellished with sequins and delicate fringe detailing that skimmed her thighs. The barely-there number featured thin straps and a fitted silhouette that caught the light with every movement.

She layered the look with a plush fur coat draped off her shoulders and carried a structured Louis Vuitton handbag, adding a dose of luxury to the cozy cabin backdrop. Her jet-black hair fell sleek and straight with blunt bangs framing her face, while her makeup stayed soft but camera-ready with glossy lips and defined lashes.

Another shot in the carousel switched gears, showing Espinal lounging indoors in a fitted knit “Après Ski” sweater striped in navy, red, and white.

The final image opened up to a scenic balcony view overlooking snow-dusted trees and the lake beyond. Standing confidently in a black-and-white houndstooth ski suit with goggles perched on her head, she leaned against the railing, letting the mountain backdrop do the rest.

The post was captioned with a string of wintery emojis, keeping things playful and low-key. Known for her bold fashion choices and jet-setting lifestyle, she regularly shares standout looks from both tropical escapes and cold-weather retreats, building a loyal following along the way.

Fans wasted no time in the comments, flooding the post with heart-eyes and fire emojis. One follower simply summed it up with, “😍😍😍,” while another added multiple flame icons.
