Frankie Bridge is one of the UK’s most stylish women, and is always serving up major fashion inspiration – and this outfit she recently wore is from River Island
TV personality and fashion favourite Frankie Bridge has once again proven why she’s a go-to for warm-weather style inspiration. In a recent Instagram post, she debuted a look that she hailed as ‘perfect’ for a city break – and best of all, every piece is from high street favourite River Island.
Giving us all the Italian Riviera vibes, Frankie stepped out in River Island’s White A-Line Poplin Midi Skirt, which costs £39. White cotton skirts dominated Instagram in summer 2024, and are very much back for 2025, making it a smart investment for anyone looking to build a capsule warm-weather wardrobe.
With its elasticated hem and classic midi length, the skirt is as comfortable as it is elegant, made from 100% cotton making it ideal for beating the heat. As we’ve learned from influencers over the last 12 months, it really is a versatile summer staple, with Frankie noting: “The skirt can be restyled SO many ways over summer.”

Elsewhere, New Look has this White Pleated Midi Skirt for £29.99, while Mango’s flared cotton skirt is £45.99, available in white, black or red. At Boden, the Double Cloth Smocked Skirt comes in at £66, but for something more budget friendly, M&S’s Pure Cotton Shirred Midi A-Line Skirt is under £30. But the fact that so many high street retailers are stocking them cements them as a go-to trend for the season.
The 36-year-old paired the skirt with a Black Sleeveless Textured Trim Bandeau Top for £26. The beaded notch detail and side split hem add an elevated twist to the minimalist bandeau cut, which is an insanely sought-after silhouette this year.
Frankie shared her thoughts on the top, saying: “Love the top and the detailing.” She added: “If you’re on a city break then this is the perfect outfit. Stay cool in the heat but still look put together.”
Accessorising the look, she added a Black Mini Raffia Cross Body Tote Bag featuring a front flap with popper fastening, gold branding detail, and a convenient crossbody strap, as well as a pair of Black Toe Thong Wedge Heeled Sandals (£38), ideal for the petite 5’3” presenter with their 12cm heel.
Completing the look with the retailer’s £14 Black Cat Eye Slim Chain Sunglasses, Frankie commented: “I feel very chic in this, it’s a nice little dinner outfit.” And we couldn’t agree more, with both capsule wardrobe staples prime for styling with basically anything you already own.
Frankie isn’t the only ex-Saturdays singer that’s a fan of River Island, though. Rochelle Humes wore the brand’s Blue Seam Detail Balloon Leg Jeans, priced at £49 for an episode of This Morning last month. She told her fans: “There’s a new rule, we didn’t used to wear jeans but we can wear jeans now. This is amazing news to me. So these are River Island, they’re like a nice barrel cut.”
