ARIANA Madix has made her hosting debut on Love Island.
Several Vanderpump Rules stars shared support for their co-star’s big career move, while others remained noticeably silent.
On Tuesday, Grande, 38, shared a post showing off her premiere episode outfit on Instagram while promoting the release of Love Island season 6.
The Bravo star captioned the post, “Following in the slow-motion footsteps of such iconic women to host my favorite show is more than an honor.
“Thank you for welcoming me to the Love Island family! Season 6 of @loveislandusa premieres NOW on @peacock!!”
Ariana looked like a “golden goddess” in her debut as she donned a form-fitting gold dress that complemented her warm blonde hair and perfectly tanned skin.

The Di Petsa dress featured a plunging neckline that showed off the reality TV star’s cleavage and cutouts that showed off her toned abs and long legs.
She went full glam with her makeup for the premiere, as she accented the look with gold and silver rings and bracelets from Simon G Jewelry.
In the comments section of the post, Ariana’s VPR co-stars praised the success of the actor’s career.
Katie Maloney, 37, wrote in all capital letters: “I’m not ok!!!” followed by a pair of heart eyes and fire emojis.
Charli Burnett, 27, commented, “Holy shit,” with a trio of fire emojis.
“Here we go!!” commented an excited James Kennedy, 32.
“I want to be with you. I mean, hi, beautiful,” Kristen Doute, 41, joked.
Scheana Shay, 39, commented: “A Golden Goddess!”
Dayna Kathan, 33, wrote: “Sorry there was a delay between my like and my comment. I fainted. OH MY GOD [fire emojis].”
One VPR star who was noticeably missing from the comments section was Grande’s former friend Lala Kent, 33.
LALA DRAMA
During the reunion episode, The Something About Her co-founder faced Lala on stage.
The mother of two raged at Ariana over her behavior during the season 11 finale — Ariana walked away from a conversation with Tom during the episode.
Ariana’s refusal to talk to Tom stemmed from Scandoval’s cheating scandal, but Lala seemed to think Ariana owed her ex-boyfriend a talk.
“She now thinks she’s Beyoncé. It’s bullshit that she can’t film with someone because she’s under the same roof. It’s a lot… I’ve never in my life experienced someone who was cheated on and suddenly they became God,” complained Lala to co-star and close friend Scheana, 39, during the final episode.
The Bravo reality star brought up the incident at the reunion as angry tears welled up in her eyes and Ariana sobbed softly.
“I was livid that night. Livid. And I’m sorry if I hurt you, but I stand by what I said. And I probably didn’t say it in the most eloquent way, but that was days and days for me – Scheana saw me – I cried regularly, I love it filming with you, even when you mess up and I want to set you all on fire,” Lala said.
Lisa Vanderpump, 63, then chimed in, asking, “So you’re saying you felt let down by everyone because the true story you were getting wasn’t the true story they were filming?”
“It was difficult, because I understood where Ariana was coming from. But I thought, ‘Why does she dictate how this is going to happen when I never got to dictate it?’ Lala replied.
Host Andy Cohen, 55, intervened and asked Ariana: “What’s your response to that?”
“Umm… I don’t think I’m Beyoncé, I don’t think I’m God,” Ariana said through tears.
She continued, “Speaking about sobbing regularly, yeah, I don’t do that in front of Scheana.
“And certainly, if you want to talk in ‘show terms,’ me getting out of that conversation was a lot more interesting than sitting there and having that. Wasn’t that a better end to your season, to give you another season for another paycheck?”
LOVE ISLAND
Ariana replaced season 4 and 5 host Sarah Hyland, who took over the role of season 1 through 3 host Arielle Vandenberg.
In March, she announced her big news between her Instagram live shows.
