Maura Higgins won't date yet, focusing on fashion after Traitors Maura Higgins, the 35-year-old reality star, has shifted her focus from romance to fashion following her appearance on The Traitors. Just days after finishing as the runner-up in the show’s fourth season, she has already established herself as a style icon, securing major brand deals and positioning fashion as her new priority. Her journey from reality TV contestant to fashion influencer highlights a significant career pivot, with her public image and professional ambitions taking center stage. Higgins’ transition began after her second-place finish on The Traitors, which concluded in late February 2026. The Irish star, who previously gained fame as a contestant on Love Island UK in 2019, embraced the challenge of the game as a Faithful player, reaching the finale before facing betrayal from her closest ally, Rob Rausch. Despite the heartbreak of being blindsided by Rausch’s betrayal, Higgins maintained her composure, leveraging her poise and fashion-forward choices to solidify her reputation as a compelling television personality. Her fashion choices became a defining aspect of her Traitors experience, with standout looks from brands like Dsquared2 and bold accessories earning her the title of “Best Dressed” for the season. This attention to style caught the eye of industry insiders, leading to a six-figure partnership with Victoria’s Secret. Her presence at high-profile events such as Fashion Week, the BAFTAs, and other industry gatherings further underscores her commitment to building a career in fashion. Higgins has also made it clear that her focus remains on personal growth and career advancement rather than romantic pursuits.#the_traitors #maura_higgins #victoria_s_secret #rob_rausch #dsquared2
