LOVE Island Games host Ariana Madix rang in the New Year looking stunning in a silver mini dress.
The former Vanderpump Rules star, 40, flaunted her statuette legs as she strutted into 2026 in style.

Ariana was on vacation in the Bahamas where she rocked a structured silver mini dress complete with beaded hem.
She paired the look with gold stilettos and matching hoop earrings, and finished her chic outfit with an iridescent clutch that featured a sparkling snake handle that looped around her wrist.
“Stepping in the new year with style,” Ariana captioned a video montage of her look posted on Instagram.
The TV star also showed off her fun night in the exotic location complete with an exclusive invite to a beachfront party where she watched the fireworks at midnight.
Ariana also danced the night away at the huge gig complete with DJ and live saxophone player.
She rounded out an amazing year on the beach in the Bahamas and comes just weeks after she buried the hatchet with her former Vanderpump Rules co-star Stassi Schroeder.
In early December, Stassi, 37, posted multiple pics on her Instagram Stories showing her and Ariana hanging out at a star-studded event, and they appeared to be on good terms.
One snap showed the duo posing in the middle of the crowded venue – Ariana donning a plunging black-laced gown and her newly dyed brunette locks in loose waves, and Stassi in a short, white silk dress and her dirty blonde hair falling straight down.
“June 24th girlies slay @arianamadix,” Stassi wrote above the pic, mentioning their shared birthdays.
In a second photo, the ladies gathered close, as Ariana pouted her lips and Stassi smiled widely at the camera.
It was a rare exchange for the Bravo stars, who have kept their distance from each other since Stassi was fired from VPR in 2020 for her past racist comments on her podcast.
But the former co-stars hadn’t seen eye to eye from the beginning, primarily due to Stassi’s disapproval of Ariana’s relationship with Tom Sandoval.
Stassi spoke about where she stood with Ariana in a February 2017 interview with InTouch.
“I don’t have a problem with Ariana; Ariana has a problem with me,” the TV personality explained.
“I’ve never done anything to her. I don’t understand it, nobody’s ever understood it, but I still try.”
Ariana later clapped back at Stassi’s claims about their friendship, telling the outlet, “I have to give Stassi credit for explaining her feelings, but it stops there because she conveniently leaves out that I only said that after she had gone after me.
Ariana continued, “She created this conflict. Cruel and condescending are Stassi’s middle names, and I guess she just doesn’t like it when someone gives her a taste of her own medicine.
“If she would leave me alone, I wouldn’t ever have to come back at her, and life would be a lot easier for both of us.”
However, it seems Stassi and Ariana might have made amends since both left the show, and Ariana’s split from Tom after his very public cheating scandal.
Ariana, along with most of her castmates, made her final VPR appearance in the Season 11 finale in 2024.
The series was rebooted with an entirely new cast, aside from Lisa Vanderpump, and premiered last month.
