Over the weekend, Topshop took over Trafalgar Square, marking their return to the fashion industry.

Topshop unveiled their most recent collection at an open-air fashion show in central London for the first time in seven years. After years of being a part of ASOS, the event also celebrated the launch of the brand’s standalone website.

Following the demise of Arcadia Group, Topshop became a part of ASOS since 2021. Topshop’s identity has frequently felt hidden in plain sight because ASOS has more than 800 brands in stock.

But this year, they’re stepping forward and doing it boldly. In May, they hosted a exclusive pop-up with Defected Records – where they showcased a new collection inspired by Ibiza fashion, followed by another campaign pop up at Tottenham Court Road’s Outernet, this time featuring an exclusive live DJ performance by Wes Nelson.

Trafalgar Square was packed; from loyal Topshop fans to supermodel Cara Delevingne and even London Mayor Sadiq Khan. Speaking to Sky News, Cara said: “It was like nostalgia mixed with something eclectic but also something brand new. For me, it really brings back a time of exploration of my own fashion sense because I think for me at Topshop I got to discover so much.”

A live DJ played music that was on point with the fits coming out, and the energy was high. Standout pieces from the collection include structured leather jackets, oversized tailoring, dramatic coats, and a strong focus on denim, which so many people have missed. Additionally, the brand’s renowned range was showcased in slick eveningwear and layering knits.

The decision to stage a physical runway show for the company signaled confidence in their relaunch. From the clothing to the music, the atmosphere was unstoppable. This one stood out because I attended all three of their events this year. It had a powerful and nostalgic feel. Not many companies can resurrect after years of silence and still do so.

The absence of a dress code helped the crowd, who was diverse, stylish, and expressive. That choice allowed the event to feel true to the values that Topshop has always embodied: individuality, self-expression, and a sense of style without restrictions. I had no idea what to wear at first, but I soon realized there was no wrong choice, which was lovely.

This Topshop event felt different from the previous one I’ve attended this year. It was a clear indication that Topshop is stepping out of the shadow of ASOS and reintroducing itself on its own terms. It was loud, bold, and hard to miss.

Our summertime wardrobe is filled with lemon prints, linen dresses, and vintage glamour-inspired accessories like head scarves and oversized sunglasses, and the Amalfi aesthetic and Euro girl summer has become a staple. Vogue Williams, one of the celebs who mastered the look, took a recent family trip to Spain.

Vogue was present when Alexandra Miro’s lemon print bikini cost $ 160 for the top and $ 130 for the bottoms. We found a fantastic alternative at Next, with the complete set costing less than £50, despite the fact that we may not have the $290-to spend on a bikini.

A hidden meaningful detail is present in Vicky Pattison’s “Bond girl” tummy-control swimsuit.

The next White/Blue Stripe Bandeau Bikini Top with Lemon Print Wired Bandeau is only available for £30 and is ideal for those who have bigger busts or those who want a little extra support. With wide shoulder straps that prevent digging in and spread the pressure to avoid pain and provide you with more security, it is fully underwired to provide you with lift and support.

The straps can also be fully detachable, so you can sunbathe without worrying about tan lines, or keep them attached to provide you with additional support while you’re out and about or swimming. It comes in standard bra sizes, so you can get the exact fit you need, and there is also some light padding for flattering support.

Next advises picking it up in your regular bra size to ensure the best fit, with sizes ranging from 32A to 38G. The Lettuce Edge High Leg Bikini Bottoms are one of the best-selling pairs, available in sizes six to twenty, along with high-waist and roll-top full coverage pairs.

The bikini received a 4.5 star rating from customers because of its appeal. One person wrote, “Until now, I have found it very difficult to find a pretty but supportive bikini top due to my larger bust (36E)!” I bought a second bikini top in a different color because I absolutely adore the coverage, support, and style of this bikini top. The support was fantastic even without the straps, and I initially tried it because the straps were removable so I could try to balance out those tan lines. I’d highly suggest it to everyone”!

while adding “Wonderful bikini top soft to touch, lovely fit” A stunning appearance is achieved. Next, I’m grateful. Loved the fact that it offered the same bikini in a different color.

Some people found the bikini’s design to be a little challenging, with one saying, “I really like it because of my 32 DD chest. I enjoy the material’s texturing as well. A nice touch are also the removable straps. Given that the padded structure is quite rigid, I prefer to give it 4 stars rather than 5 because it’s difficult to pack this item in my holiday suitcase without the padding getting stung.

The £55 Dolce Vita V-Neck Tummy Control Swimsuit – Green Tropical from Pour Moi is a great alternative because it nods to Amalfi vibe with its yellow and green palm print. The White Lemon Embroidered Long Sleeve Shirt, available at New Look for £18 down from £29.99, would make the ideal cover for a day at the beach or swimming pool.

However, Next also offers a large selection of swimwear in lemon print. In fact, you can find everything in the same print, including midi dresses, shirt and shorts sets, and matching beach bags to one-piece swimsuits.

‘I lived with Prince Harry for years – his brutal claim about Camilla doesn’t add up’

While he was employed by King Charles’ country house Highgrove for seven years, Butler Grant Harrold is now speaking out about his time there. He has met Princes William and Harry for the first time in seven years.

A royal butler who worked for King Charles has claimed Prince Harry’s brutal claims about Queen Camilla don’t add up.

Grant Harrold worked for seven years at Highgrove, the King’s country home in Gloucestershire, from 2004 to 2011. During his time at Highgrove, he got to know both Princes William and Harry, who were in their late teens and early 20s.

In a new interview, the former butler reveals that he first met Harry as a 19-year-old, with their first encounter coming when Harry hit him with a water balloon during a playfight. He says the pair even shared a takeaway in the time before the Duke of Sussex went off to Sandhurst Military Academy.

Harrold’s Highgrove days also coincided with Charles and Camilla’s engagement announcement and marriage.

In his bombshell memoir Spare, Harry told how he and now estranged brother William begged their father not to marry his now wife. He telling wrote: “We support you, we said. We endorse Camilla, we said. ‘Just please don’t marry her. Just be together, Pa.’ He didn’t answer. But she answered. Straight away.

Continue reading the article.

She began a long-term relationship with her shortly after our private summits, allegedly with Pa’s approval, and the campaign was aimed at getting married and eventually winning the Crown.

However, Harrold, who was present at the wedding in 2005, recalls that William and Harry decorated their father’s car with “Just Married” signs, and the newlyweds raced after the couple left after their wedding reception.

And he says what he saw was a far cry from what Harry wrote in his memoir. He told The Telegraph: “The four of them, I promise you, got on so well. And that’s why I don’t understand what Harry’s said, I really don’t understand.

“Because I saw them,” I witnessed them having dinners together, drinking drinks together, and attending parties with others.

He also recalls that any royals had no animosity, and that William and Harry used to act as a whip and giggle.

The Royal Butler: My remarkable life of Royal Service, a biography of the then-current King, is Harrold’s comment as he prepares to write it. It charts his transition from being a young boy growing up in North Lanarkshire to working for the then-current King.

Harry frequently refers to Camilla in Spare on more than 60 occasions, calling her “the Other Woman.” He also claimed that the Queen was “dangerous” and that she had “stole him on her personal PR altar” by allegedly leaking negative news to the press.

Before marrying to Charles, she and her husband, who were grieving the loss of their mother, considered whether she would become his and William’s “wicked stepmother.”

In his bombshell interview with the BBC back in May, Harry said that “some members of my family will never forgive me” for writing his memoir. But he added: “It would be nice to have that reconciliation part now. If they don’t want that, that’s entirely up to them.”
