Maya’s ruched ensemble showed off a glimpse of her toned midriff, while she added a glittering touch to the look by wearing a pendant necklace and earrings.
The presenter stepped out in a pair of pink open-toe heels for the occasion and chose not to carry a bag with her during the outing.
Her raven tresses were brushed into a sleek, straight style that fell gracefully over her shoulders, and she accentuated her pretty features with a light palette of make-up.

Earlier in the day, Maya took to her Instagram stories where she shared throwback photos from her childhood with her late grandparent.
Maya penned heaven has ‘gained another angel’ in a touching tribute to her paternal grandfather.
Also taking to Twitter to share the sad news, she wrote: ‘RIP Grandad, gained an angel … looking at old photos today & he was such a G. My nan (ayeeyo) is also my twin when she was younger (sic)’
In one photo Maya and her brother Omar cuddled their grandfather, who sat on a chair, while in another, Maya’s grandfather posed for a family photo with her nan, and their children.

She wrote: ‘Proper look like my nan. Real g’s immigrated from Somalia and built a life for themselves, started working, started a family, bought a house.
‘Pretty sure they were the first Somalian’s living in Bristol’.
Before she hit the big time as a Radio One presenter, Maya had a tough upbringing in Bristol with a father who was in and out of prison.

She was also caught up in a personal tragedy following the death of her boyfriend Rico Gordon when she was 16.
Maya was in a relationship with Rico who was caught in the crossfire of a gunfight between two rival gangsters in her home city of Bristol.
As a child, Maya previously recalled how she would answer the door to police searching for her father – and reveals she felt guilty after telling officers he was hiding under a bed, which led to his arrest.

Maya said he was ‘banged up’ for several short sentences having injured people in violent brawls.
During a documentary aired in 2018, Maya recalled a conversation with her aunt, her dad’s sister, explaining: ‘I asked her lots about their childhood; whether anything happened to him that made him the way he was.
‘But she said, no, they were a very close family. There were five children and they were all treated the same, and everyone else is fine.
Stepping out: Maya was seen in a different white t-shirt and fluffy slippers as she headed to work for another day of filming at Riverside Studios in west London on Tuesday afternoon
‘They were educated in a school where most of the kids were white – their family was one of the first Somali families to settle in Bristol – so maybe that had something to do with it, but I can’t be certain.’
Maya has since gone on to great success, recently stepping down from her role as BBC Radio One presenter.
