Maya Jama, 30, commanded attention in a low-cut halterneck dress paired with a matching shawl for the Fashion Trust Arabia celebration at El Badi Palace, Marrakech. The presenter had her dark locks slicked back in a low bun for the event, which was held on Thursday evening.

The brunette beauty opted for a natural makeup look, and her skin appeared bronzed and radiant while she posed for the camera on the red carpet. To add a pop of colour to her flawless complexion, Maya chose a baby pink blush which was swept over her cheekbones.

The star was at the event to present the Entrepreneur of The Year Award alongside Emily in Paris actor Lucien Laviscount, who happened to be staying in the hotel room next door.

Maya shared a snippet of her hotel on her Instagram Story today as she enjoyed a dance in the sunshine wearing a white robe ahead of the ceremony. She appeared carefree as she bopped to a beat while her hair was down and wavy, and her face was makeup-free and fresh.

It comes days after she showed her ex, British rapper Stormzy, what he was missing by sharing some sizzling bikini shots on Instagram with her millions of followers.

The television star looked incredible in a grey two-piece in one video shared with fans while she styled her hair into two braids.

She also shared a snap of Lucien, who was enjoying his time at the same hotel as her. "My neighbour @its_lucien," she penned. The 32-year-old actor was wearing a white tank top and grey trousers to relax in the Moroccan heat.

Maya has been keeping herself busy following her split from Stormzy three months ago after the pair confirmed their break-up was "final" in a joint statement.

It read: "We've been laughing whilst drafting this because we never, ever, in a million years thought we'd be the couple announcing a break-up.

"We fell madly in love in 2014, broke up in 2019, and then spent five years manoeuvring life apart. We decided to try for the final time in August 2023, and we've spent this past year trying our best to make it work; however, we recently decided to call it quits.

"We were 21 and 20 when we first met – both at the beginning of our careers – and spent five years growing together and five years growing separately, so this final attempt required a whole lot of figuring out, relearning, and unlearning. We tried, and it didn't work, and that's okay."
