It’s Olandria Carthen’s world and we’re just living in it.

The Love Island USA bombshell has blessed her fans’ Instagram timeline with yet another absolutely marvelous post. This time, Carthen wowed in an elegant gold number that’s form-fitting and flattering. Her bodycon dress hugged her figure from the turtle neck down to the hem, which stopped just before the straps of her gold open-toed heels.

For the second still, the reality TV star allowed for a deeper dive into her mesmerizing glam. Her eyebrows formed neat arches, her eyelashes were as fluffed and dreamy as ever and her lips were glossy with a liner that complemented her warm tones immaculately. And who could forget about her hair? Medium-length soft waves were a hairstyle made for her.

Olandria’s November highlights

Carthen’s November 2025 seemed to be everything the celeb could’ve asked for and more. It was filled with wonderful highlights that continue to make this star a household name. Case in point, her “quiet victories” could refer to her steady rise to becoming an influential face in fashion.

In November alone, she dominated the style world, sporting several eye-catching ensembles that showcased her keen eye for fashion-forward looks that stand out on red carpets. One look in particular that stood out to us was the purple and pink iridescent masterpiece she donned for Glamour’s 2025 Women of the Year event.

As for “beautiful celebrations,” last month was full of plenty of them. For example, she became a People’s Choice Award honoree for EBONY Power 100—a feat that recognized just how popular she has become ever since she stepped into the limelight earlier this year. The internet’s princess also graced the front cover of the magazine in all her prowess.

Other awards she acquired in November 2025 included Fortune & Forks’s Visibility with Vision award and the Give Her FlowHERS: Self-Love Award at the Femme It Forward event. Both awards celebrated Carthen’s graceful and stunning nature.

Last but not least, the moments where she developed a “deeper appreciation” for the many blessings surrounding her. From securing several collaborations with major brands like Shea Moisture and EOS, to traveling the world to promote Love Island USA, Carthen is definitely living the good life.

“Olavember” was nothing short of a delightful time. Needless to say, the world can’t wait to see what December has in store for the ‘Bama Barbie.
