Primark shoppers are loving a “gorgeous” £30 dress that’s been described as the “perfect wedding guest dress.” Fashion fans loved the look of the Sleeveless Corset Midi Dress, which is available in light green or a yellow floral print, when it went viral on social media.

According to the product description, shoppers can expect a “sleeveless midi dress featuring chunky shoulder straps and a corset design.” It was showcased in a popular post shared by @galslovehighstreet, earning more than 250,000 views.

The caption read: “Just spotted the perfect wedding guest dress at Primark. The back bow detail! Wowww,” and viewers were just as impressed. One commenter replied: “I need one immediately.”

A second fan praised: “I’m going to Rome next month and that first dress is divine.” Someone else suggested: “Laura Ashley vibes,” while another thought: “Primark is the new House of CB.” Again referencing the British luxury womenswear brand, they added: “It’s fab to see there’s brands that are cheap and looks similar.”

Someone else replied: “Finally a midi size of this dress.” Not everyone was so impressed, though. On the one hand, commenters advised against wearing the dress to a wedding if the bride is wearing white.

One such response read: “Perfect. If your plan is ruining the brides day.” A second replied: “These are not remotely bridal.” However, a different commenter also suggested avoiding the yellow dress, writing: “It’s too light. Too close to a colour that’s for the bride.”

Another claimed they didn’t like the look of the dress after trying it on. The commenter said: “It looks so cute on the hanger but honestly when I tried it on it gave milk maid vibes.”

Someone else replied: “Okay it’s gorgeous but can Primark just make a mid length one?? They do super short or really long ones, I just want one that sits around my knee.”

Binky Felstead wears Kate Middleton’s go-to jewellery brand on Loose Women

On Friday28 March’s episode of Loose Women, Binky Felstead and her mum joined the panel to discuss living with MS, which her mum, Jane Felstead, was diagnosed with in 2017. For her appearance on the daytime show, former Made in Chelsea star Binky opted for a chic monochrome look that included some tailored black shorts, a white blouse and statement gold jewellery.

Binky’s oversized gold earrings, it turns out, were the Joan Earrings from Soru Jewellery – a brand that’s been spotted on countless celebs in the past. Kate Middleton in particular is a huge fan, and has worn the Baroque Pearl Double Sided Earrings on multiple occasions, plus many other pieces from the brand.

Binky’s Joan Earrings were the perfect statement piece for her minimalist look, and are still available to buy for £230. They feature a large oval-shaped mother of pearl gemstone in the middle, with an angular surround made from 18k gold plated silver.

The gold has a matte finish, which gives them a more elevated, elegant look, and is free from nickel, lead and cadmium. Each pair is handmade in Italy in small batches before being hand packed in the UK, and all-natural pearls are used, making each pair completely unique.

A statement earring needed a statement name, with Soru saying: “Joan, be it Joan Collins or Joan of Arc, we felt these show-stopping earrings warranted a strong name.” Although the earrings come with a standard post fastening, you can also pick them up in a clip-on version if you don’t have your ears pierced.

If you really want the pearl to do the talking, we spotted a similar pair at Olivia & Pearl. The Aphrodite Statement Earrings are £220 and feature an oversized pearl stud, with a large mother of pearl droplet hanging from it encased in 18ct yellow gold vermeil.

For something more understated, we love these Gold Large Plain Pearl Drop Hoop Earrings from Lily & Roo. Usually priced at £125, they’re currently on sale down to £100 and have a rectangular hoop with a delicate round pearl dangling from the bottom.

Missoma also does a pair of Square Pearl Statement Earrings for £159, which have a large gold square stud that’s set with a half pearl. Hanging from each stud is a big square pearl with a textured finish.

However if you’re keen to shop Binky’s look, or take some inspiration from other celebs who’ve worn Soru Jewellery’s designs, you can shop them here.

All the White Lotus characters wear jewellery from an affordable Kate Middleton-loved brand

The White Lotus’s new season is about to come to an end, with the episode’s final episode set to air the following week. The character’s style is what really caught our attention, along with the stunning setting and captivating plot. We’ve already covered some of Jaclyn Lemon’s best looks, but today we’re going to focus on the jewelry.

We couldn’t help but notice that some of the female characters, including Chloe, Kate, and Victoria, were wearing inexpensive Missoma jewelry. It’s no surprise that this opulent brand expanded to Thailand and HBO, while also attracting fans of royal and celebrities like Kate Middleton, Hailey Bieber, and Maya Jama.

We’ve located the exact locations where you can purchase the White Lotus look if you want to recreate it yourself.

I tried the cream bronzer Jaclyn Lemon wears in The White Lotus, but I’m now switching out my powders.

Chloe wearing Zenyu Fan Hoop Earrings

available here for £145.

Chloe’s jewelry is a significant component of her (HBO/Misssoma) character’s fashion.

Chloe, who Charlotte Le Bon portrays, always makes a fashionable entrance, and her outfit choices for the episode size don’t lie. The real star of the show was Chloe’s accessories, which included a floral wrap skirt and a one-shoulder bikini top, with the Missoma Zenyu Earrings dominating.

Kate Middleton herself wore this chandelier pair to the 2021 Royal Variety Performance, which is undoubtedly one of the brand’s most well-known earrings.

Wearing the Lucy Williams Waffle Mini Hoops Earrings is Kate.

Here, you can purchase it for 89 pounds.

In a number of episodes (HBO/Missoma), Leslie Bibb’s character Kate is seen sporting these gold hoops.

Leslie Bibb plays Kate in the friendship trio that follows old school friends reuniting on a girls’ trip to Thailand.

It should come as no surprise that Kate’s earring of choice and the pair she has been wearing throughout the series are the mini gold hoops from Lucy William’s Missoma collection because she is undoubtedly the most reserved and demure of the three. This sophisticated yet elegant pair perfectly matched Kate’s personality.

Victoria wearing a medium hoop earring with twisted Wavy Ridge.

Here is a £125 deal.

Victoria Ratliff (played by Parker Posey) is a character you might not expect to be wearing affordable jewelry. The Ratliff family has a lot of money, and this can be seen in Victoria’s frequently extravagant and expensive looks, which is implied to the audience because her husband’s financial problems are unknown to the audience.

We still see the ridged gold hoop peeking through Victoria’s hair even though Chloe’s earrings are a little more understated than Chloe’s earrings, which are paired with some orange-light aviator sunglasses and a floaty kaftan.

There have also been some incredible beauty moments in addition to the White Lotus fashion moments. We also learned the name of the cream bronzer that gave Jaclyn Lemon her stunning sunkissed appearance, as well as the one that inspired Aimee Lou Wood’s “Thaiwan glow.”

Coronation Street’s Colson Smith reveals heartbreaking final moments on set

Just a few days after giving a heartfelt farewell to Coronation Street, Colson Smith has already signed up for his most recent project. The 26-year-old actor has been a part of the ITV soap opera for 14 years, but last week he filmed his final scenes after being fired by the bosses.

However, Colson wasted no time when putting his stamp on his most recent project, which also has a sweet connection to his Coronation Street co-stars. Due to the need to edit the program, Columbia’s exit storyline will be broadcast later this year.

Colson confirmed last week that he had captured his final moments on Instagram. He shared a photo of himself sitting on The Rovers Return after climbing out of an upstairs window in front of the 212, 000 people on the platform. He said, “Coronation Street, I love you, thank you.”

Colson revealed last week on Instagram that he had recorded his final scenes.

He said as he spoke to his now-ex-co-stars, Jack P. Shepherd and Ben Price, who play David Platt and Nick Tilsley, that there were “plenty of tears” as he recalled his farewell. “Thank you doesn’t even cover it,” He said, “It doesn’t even pass the mark what I needed to say.” As he addressed Colson’s speech during his wrap party, Jack continued, “It was a very well put off the cuff speech I thought.”

Jack continued, “You covered everything,” while adding, “On the Sofa podcast. You mentioned your initial workplace experiences. From obtaining your first home, finding your first girlfriend, passing your driving test, and other significant accomplishments you’ve made while working.

He has played PC Craig Tinker for 14 years
He has spent 14 years playing PC Craig Tinker on ITV.

You said, “Thanks, it’s been amazing, best job I’ve ever had, and only job I’ve ever had,” and people started crying. “Colson uncovered that it was the perfect way to wrap up his flawless first chapter,” he said. Colson also revealed that Craig Tinker had left his co-stars speechless after being one of the top 100 for most episode appearances.

His Coronation Street colleagues gave him a “running holiday” as part of his departure present, and he has already chosen to make the most of it this year. He told Ben and Jack, “I’m going to Kenya, I’m spending seven days at an elite running camp, and I’m going on a three-day safari there.” I’m running with the lions, leopards, and cheetahs, he continued.

Meanwhile, Jack revealed to the public that Colson enjoys running and has run 10k races and marathons at “record-breaking times.” He admitted earlier this year that he had kept the details of his exit a secret since October, but that he had already assumed he would be the newest soap star to have been fired.

The actor was informed of his exit in October.

He claimed on his podcast that he felt his time on the show was coming to an end and that a message from the personal assistant of the boss for a meeting came to mind at 7 p.m. that confirmed this. He thanked Jack and Ben for their assistance during the meeting. They “paced” up and down the room as they waited for the news and “continued to look at the door.”

He told Jack and Ben during the meeting that knowing you two were present was the hardest part. I just sat down in the green room’s door and glared at you two. Colson quickly inquired if the three could go to Nando’s after Jack hugged her.

He said, “The green room is what I’m going to miss the most than anything else in the world,” not Craig Tinker. In that building, I have learned a lot about life. I’ve spent every day in that place, including every good day of my life.

‘I had same procedure as Jesy Nelson – here’s one thing I wish doctors told me’

Twin-to-Twin Transfusion Syndrome (TTTS), the condition that singer Jesy Nelson is battling, was discovered in Victoria and Darren Burgess at the age of 16 weeks.

While giving birth to twins, Victoria Allen was given the same condition as Jesy Nelson.

A mum who was given the option to terminate her pregnancy after being diagnosed with a life-threatening condition – one that Little Mix’s Jesy Nelson is also battling – is celebrating one year with her healthy twin boys.

Singer Jesy is currently recovering from an operation to prevent complications from her high-risk pregnancy. Victoria, 35, and Darren, 33, both of whom are intimately familiar with her struggles, were overjoyed when they first learned what they were going to do.

Continue reading the article.

However, when a 16-week scan revealed something concerning, one twin had no visible kidneys or bladder, and the other had excessive fluid in their sac, their excitement quickly turned to worry.

Victoria and Darren with their twins
Victoria and Darren had the option to end their pregnancy.

After being diagnosed with Twin-to-Twin Transfusion Syndrome (TTTS) – a rare but life-threatening condition that affects around 10 to 15 percent of identical twins who share a placenta – Victoria and Darren wished they had been given more information about the condition by doctors at the time.

Victoria found comfort in reading other families’ stories of TTTS-related experiences after visiting the Twins Trust website for support and information. She admitted, “I hadn’t heard of TTTS at that time.” The Twins Trust website was extremely helpful because, in my opinion, reading about other people’s experiences made things very difficult.

The couple from Bristol had three options: having their pregnancy terminated, having their pregnancy terminated, or having their relationship terminated. Darren said, “Having a termination was never in our heads.”

Victoria underwent laser surgery to save her babies a week after the diagnosis. They were concerned about one of the twins, she said, and we were aware that it could escalate quickly. The other twin’s sac was expanding exponentially.

Although the procedure was successful, Victoria endured weeks of complications, including fluid loss and numerous hospital stays. Further bleeding at 33 weeks gave the twins a sense of direction.

Born via C-section in September 2023, Ezra and Arlo entered the world at 34 weeks and one day, in a theatre packed with 26 medical staff. In a dramatic twist, a student trainee fainted during the birth.

The boys' first birthday is now being celebrated.

The twins are now flourishing despite spending weeks in the NICU and intensive care. Victoria, who praised the staff at Taunton’s Musgrove Hospital, said she is determined to stay positive about having twins.

She said, “I don’t let the fact that I have twins prevent me from doing anything, but I enjoy taking the boys to clubs.” Reflecting on the TTTS, I believe open dialogue is crucial. I tried to educate myself about the syndrome because I had never heard of it before. The hospital staff gave us time, but I never felt pressured into making any decisions.

Darren counseled other parents who are dealing with similar diagnoses to remain open-minded and optimistic. He said, “We just kept on hoping.” We maintained that hope, leading to positive outcomes.

The couple is now concentrating on raising awareness of TTTS to help other families as they prepare for their journey. They also completed the Twins Trust antenatal course to help with preparation.

We just want to say thanks to Twins Trust, Victoria said, for supporting us when we needed it most. It was a very lonely and upsetting time.

Jesy Nelson

Zion Foster, Jesy Nelson’s partner, will also be running the London Marathon in May to raise money for Twins Trust. The singer, 33, from Romford, claimed that her “pre-stage” twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS), which affects identical twins who share a placenta, has “cleared up.”

“Hey guys, so we just wanted to give you guys an update, because we know it’s been a while,” Jesy said in an Instagram video. “I don’t know if you can see, we are still in hospital, so I’ve been recovering, but we have some amazing news.

The operation was a success, which is just incredible, and the TTTS has cleared up. The most amazing doctors make us so, so lucky. My cervix is very, very short, so I can’t leave the hospital because my waters could break at any point and I’m still very, very early.

Every week we’re just like, “Please, please, please, stay in there,” so I can’t leave the hospital until I’m a certain number of weeks.

She continued, “so grateful” that her twins “are still going strong,” adding that she and her partner Zion are “so grateful.”
