River Island launches summer ‘Hen Do’ edit with Love Island’s Molly Smith

River Island has today launched a new summer edit under the title of ‘Hen Do’, curated by Love Island star Molly Smith.

Bride-to-be Smith just celebrated her own hen do ahead of her summer wedding to partner Tom Clare, who she won the inaugural Love Island: All Stars with in 2024 following her original appearance on the hit dating show in 2020.

The capsule wardrobe is designed specifically for the ultimate hen do getaway and bridal season, channelling an “effortless, sun-drenched holiday aesthetic” – with relaxed, bohemian day dressing options and high glamour evening looks.

The daytime collection features a crochet and lace co-ord set, highlighting detailed, semi-sheer white lace wide-leg trousers paired with a matching cami top.

For a touch of understated luxury, tailored resort separates include a structured cream short and jacket set finished with intricate gold coin and mirror embroidery.

The daytime look is completed by “boho chic” sundresses, such as a floral applique dress adorned with floral details, alongside playful print sets featuring matching vertical striped linen shorts, bikini top and resort shirt.

As day turns to night, the edit shifts into high octane bridal glamour, mixing textures, metallic shimmer, and statement details “designed to turn heads”. The evening range introduces a statement shell embellished cami top, offering a sleek white sleeveless shift silhouette with an asymmetric, heavily fringed hemline that flows with movement.

Molly Smith, who has built a successful career as a model, content creator and podcast host - establishing herself as one of the UK's most recognisable reality TV personalities - said: “It's a genuine dream come true to be launching my hen do-inspired edit with River Island. I've been a huge fan and customer of the brand since I was a teenager, so having the opportunity to work with them to bring this edit to life has felt totally surreal.

“Together, we've curated a range of beautiful daytime and evening looks, perfect for brides to be, hens, newlyweds, and, of course, anyone who loves wearing white this summer. I hope everyone loves the collection as much as I do!”

For a contemporary, high shine alternative to traditional bridal whites, a striking liquid silver co-ord showcases a metallic grey cowl-neck top and matching draped mini skirt.

Opulent textures continue with a sheer gold sequin camisole dressed down with relaxed, wide-leg white denim trousers.

The collection also delivers the ultimate sheer bridal dress with a white mesh midi covered in statement floral applique motifs and finished with dramatic, floor-skimming fringe trim.

Available on the River Island website and in select stores from 11 June, prices for the collection start at £20.
