Love Island stars had all eyes on them as Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and Gemma Owen led the blue carpet arrivals at the Women's Football Awards.
Ekin-Su and Gemma rose to fame on the same season of the ITV2 dating competition, with footballer Michael Owen's daughter Gemma briefly being coupled up with Ekin-Su's now ex Davide Sanclimenti. This week, the duo reunited at the awards show and made sure to bring their all.
They joined the likes of Pixie Lott, comedian Katherine Ryan, Steps icon Faye Tozer, Love Island stars Georgia Harrison and Kady McDermott and football pundit Alex Scott at the event. Turkish actress Ekin-Su looked out of this world with dark shoulder-length hair as she ditched her highlights.
She rocked a low-cut form-fitting silky navy gown and simple black Yves Saint Laurent heels. Gemma went for gold as she posed for cameras in a strapless gold dress with a thigh-high slit. She completed the outfit with matching heels and simple makeup. Her hair was straightened and flowed down her back.

Her hair sat in perfect waves and she completed the look with a small black purse.

She recently opened up about her rough turn on the series and said she couldn’t make it to the live final as she was struggling to cope with the bombshell news that ex-boyfriend Davide had cheated on her.
The British-Turkish star conceded that her time in the house was nothing short of a catastrophe, but rejected the suggestion that this was the reason behind her final no-show.

I was angry, hurt, maybe a bit bitter, definitely insecure – Big Brother is not where you go to heal heartache, let me tell you. I went into the show thinking that I could rebuild myself after everything that happened with Davide, but I came off worse. My guard was up.”
She continued: “I blame myself for making a poor choice in my career. People could see that I wasn’t myself, and I can understand why they thought I was being fake.”
