Amaya Papaya Is Popsugar's Cover Star — Here's What She Wore

Plus, the best "Wicked" collabs you need to see.

Today's newsletter was written and curated by Popsugar shopping staff writer Haley Lyndes. Meet Amaya Papaya, PS's First Feel-Good Person of the Year — And What She Wore As an editor, I love a good cover story. It reminds me of the days when magazines were actually a thing — but even without the glossy pages, being a cover star is still a big deal. That's why we didn't take it lightly when we chose "Love Island USA" star Amaya "Papaya" Espinal as our first Feel-Good Person of the Year. She radiates the kind of positive energy Popsugar loves, and her fashion mirrors the feel-good, fun-loving, free-spirited vibe we adore about the "sensitive gangster."   Self-expression shows up in all kinds of ways, but one of the easiest to emulate from the positive force that is Amaya Papaya? Her style. We rounded up all the outfits she wore for our cover shoot in NYC, and — fresh off fashion week — she clearly pulled out all the stops. From a tweed minidress to the "glam version" of the viral green muumuu she wore in episode 28, here are all the looks she brought to her cover moment.
