Others, however, felt Olivia should stick to her usual blonde, with one saying: “U look better as a blonde..this colour doesnt quite look good on u (sic).”

Another opined: “You look stunning but blonde is definitely more you.”

It’s been an incredible year for Olivia, who married Love Island co-star Alex Bowen in a romantic wedding ceremony last month.

Olivia and Alex married at Gosfield Hall in Essex on Saturday, September 15 after first meeting on the second series of ITV2 dating show Love Island during the summer of 2016.

“The wedding was overwhelmingly perfect,” Olivia later told OK! Magazine. “It feels like it didn’t happen because it was so perfect. I had a vision and it all fitted into place like a puzzle. I was totally speechless the day after.”

Alex added: “I can’t describe it with words. It felt like we were in a movie. It was surreal.”

The newlyweds then jetted on honeymoon in Sri Lank and the Maldives, where they shared multiple photos of their glamorous and idyllic vacation.
