Maya Jama, the charismatic British TV presenter and radio DJ, makes a captivating statement on the cover of British Vogue’s August 2023 issue. The coveted lens of the photographer Steven Meisel captures Jama in a casual-chic attire, featuring a hoodie sweater and t-shirt from Miu Miu, which are complemented by a glittering Tiffany & Co. necklace.
Edward Enninful, the powerhouse Editor-in-Chief, styles the star in a blend of high-fashion pieces from labels like Valentino, JW Anderson, and Prada.
The look is further elevated by the artistic hands of Guido Palau, who tailors her hair to perfection, while legendary make-up artist Pat McGrath gives Jama a striking, yet polished finish. The whole look is neatly rounded off by Jin Soon Choi’s immaculate manicure. This riveting ensemble comes alive under the masterful production of Prodn.
In the vibrant world of fashion and entertainment, Maya Jama stands as a beacon of authenticity and resilience. With her infectious energy and unapologetic authenticity, Jama has carved a niche for herself that transcends the realms of television, radio, music, and now, fashion.
Jama’s journey to stardom is far from ordinary. From dancing to pop tunes at Soho’s G-A-Y Late to gracing the cover of Vogue, her story is a testament to her tenacity and zest for life. Her recent stint as the presenter of Love Island’s 10th series has only amplified her charm, making her a household name.
Her appeal, however, extends beyond her professional achievements. Jama’s allure lies in her ability to connect with people, her ‘’superpower’’ as she calls it. Her candid conversations, whether about the challenges of parking in London or the harsh realities of racism, resonate with her audience, making her relatable and real.
Fashion has also fallen for Jama. Her recent photoshoot with legendary image-maker Steven Meisel for Vogue was a testament to her growing influence in the fashion world. Brands like Dolce & Gabbana and Rimmel London have also recognized her appeal, making her their campaign star.
Despite her rising fame, Jama remains grounded. She navigates the world of fame with a sense of purpose and a commitment to keep parts of her life private. Her resilience, shaped by personal tragedies and hardships, has made her a symbol of strength and vulnerability.
