The Princess of Wales opted for a chic raffia clutch bag to accessorise her butter yellow outfit at Buckingham Palace’s garden party, and it cost just £28

On Tuesday Kate Middleton made a welcome reappearance at Buckingham Palace’s Royal Garden Party for the first time since 2023, and she of course did it in style. The Princess of Wales opted for a very on trend butter yellow midi dress, which she accessorised with a matching hat from Philip Treacy and a pair of nude heels.

However it was her clutch bag that really caught our eye, with Princess Kate carrying Forever New’s Lily Bag. Although its raffia design was perfect for adding an extra summery hint to her look, what was even more remarkable about it was just how affordable it was.

The bag was originally priced at £28, and has been a staple in Princess Kate’s wardrobe ever since she first wore it during the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee in 2022. Although the Lily Bag has since sold out – no doubt thanks to the Kate effect, where her fashion choices often lead to increased demand for featured items – the affordable Australian brand still has several other designs that let you copy Kate’s style.

Just like Princess Kate’s Lily bag, the other styles are affordable and chic and perfect for nailing the summer vibes. The closest match to the Lily bag we found on Forever New is the Kelsey Clutch, £50, which has the same design and structure as Kate’s bag, just with the addition of stunning pearl and diamante details all over it for some added glamour.

It has an easy-to-carry rectangular shape with a metal push clasp on the top, and a detachable chain strap that allows you to swap it to a shoulder or cross body bag. It also features a handy internal pouch for keeping your belongings safe.

For something more simple the Andrea Weave Camera Bag is £35 and has a similar rounded rectangular shape with woven straw details. It also features a detachable chain and faux leather strap, with a zip fastening for added security.

Next also features a similar style, with the Gold Raffia Structured Clutch Bag priced at a very affordable £24. Rather than a shoulder strap it features a removable wristlet strap that makes it easy to carry, with a zip top fastening.

Pouch bags are also a super sought-after clutch design, and Mango’s £49.99 Natural fibre handbag has a designer look on an affordable budget. Dune’s Elsabeth Clutch is slightly pricier at £99, but has a grab top handle that makes it easy to carry.

However if you want to follow in Princess Kate’s budget-friendly footsteps, shop Forever New’s range of bags now. The brand is also currently offering 20% off selected styles including summer dresses and co-ords that are perfect for holidays and weddings.

Michelle Keegan has shared her evening skincare routine from Cannes, and it includes a L’Oréal Paris serum that’s currently on sale for less than half price at Amazon

The Cannes Film Festival 2025 is in full swing, with celebrities flocking to the French resort town for nearly two weeks of glitzy events and red carpets. Among them is Michelle Keegan, who is attending with L’Oréal Paris.

The new mum, who welcomed her daughter Palma in March, shared a series of glamorous photos from a posh dinner with the brand on her Instagram account. Her followers were quick to praise her as ‘beautiful’ and ‘stunning’. She also posted more candid shots of her day, including her evening skincare routine which features a budget-friendly skin-brightening serum that’s currently less than half its usual price.

In an Instagram story captioned ‘Day 1 done! Ready for skincare and bed’, Michelle showcased the L’Oréal Paris Revitalift Filler Hyaluronic Acid Replumping Tissue Mask, priced at £5.99, and the L’Oréal Paris Age Defying Serum Le Duo. This clever serum, usually retailing at £37.99, currently has a 54% discount on Amazon, bringing it down to £17.39 for a limited time only, reports OK!.

This all-in-one serum has a dual chamber, one side filled with a collagen peptide booster and the other packed with glow-enhancing vitamins B3 and C. Combined, they aim to firm, plump and brighten the skin, with L’Oréal’s tests claiming that it can reverse the appearance of five years of wrinkles in eight weeks.

Michelle isn’t the only one raving about this super-serum; it has dozens of five-star reviews online, across retailers such as Boots and Lookfantastic, as well as Amazon.

“My skin is glowing when I wear this! Even once you have your foundation and bronzer on you can still see the glow, love this product!” wrote a thrilled Lookfantastic shopper.

“The best skin care I have used. I’m 78 and have seen and felt the difference since using this,” a user commented on the Boots website. “Will definitely be using it from now on.”

Another labelled it a “game changer”, adding: “This product made a visible difference to my 60 year old skin within days. I went from tired to glowing in about three days.”

However, not every customer was entirely pleased with the packaging, as one Lookfantastic shopper described it as “cheap, lightweight plastic packaging” and mentioned that “the nozzle often gets clogged on one side which means only one lot of serum comes out”. To possibly find similar results with a single dispenser, you might consider trying the acclaimed Clarins Double Serum, currently down from £92 to £73.60 for a 50ml bottle at Debenhams.

Bargain hunters eyeing skincare on Amazon should look out for these offers available during Amazon’s Everyday Essentials Week: La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Baume B5+ has been slashed from £19.50 to £13, and NIVEA Q10 Anti-Wrinkle Power Expert Wrinkle Filler Serum is now £7.48, reduced from £14.99, securing its spot as one of our top wrinkle fillers.
