Whether you are attending the world-famous tennis tournament itself or watching at home, this mini dress with puffed sleeves could be for you.
Primark's Bodice Detail Tea Dress comes with a flattering drawstring waist and chic button front bodice detailing offers 'subtle structure.'
It also has small sleeves which after flattering on upper arms.
It also is said to be perfect for the heat, as the mini dress has been designed to have a 'relaxed fit and soft shape.'
Primark says the dress is 'perfect for dressing up or down, it's a go to piece for warm days or layered looks.'
Wimbledon is the oldest tennis tournament in the world and attracts royalty and A-listers alike.
As well as being steeped in tradition with the refreshments served, the day also has a typically prim and proper dress code.
Often people wear crisp white outfits, or pay homage to the championship's signature green and purple colour.
Typically there isn't a strict dress code, but smart casual is recommended, particularly for those with tickets for Centre Court or Court No 1.
Fascinators aren't traditionally worn, but summer hats are encouraged to provide some relief from the sun.

There's hope that style icon Princess will be attending this year's event, alongside other fashionable royal favourites such as Zara Tindall and Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh.
Ben Roberts, Managing Director of British jewellery brand Clogau, shared: 'You don't get into the royal box at Wimbledon unless you're dressed to impress. However, the dress code is still far more relaxed than you'd find at an official royal event.
'This means members of the Royal Family can embrace a more dressed-down but still luxe look, with Kate, Zara and Sophie all adept at blending traditional royal fashion with more modern trends, mixing high street names we all know and love with unique jewellery to truly elevate their look.

'Kate has mastered every colour, style, and print, but green has emerged as her signature colour for the tournament.
"Kate could switch things up this year; polka dots have made a comeback, a pattern she has always loved. It wouldn't be surprising to see her incorporate this into her look."
'Kate is often seen wearing pearl earrings for engagements as they compliment her stand-out, impressionable style; a classic touch like her beloved Annoushka pearl earrings make for the perfect accessory.'
While we may not have Princess Kate's wardrobe budget, the Primark dress could do the trick.

'I've visited 24,000 boozers on 40 year pub crawl - these are my favourites'

Peter Hill has supped an incredible 60,000 pints on a mammoth pub crawl which has seen him visit 24,000 boozers across the UK in a 40 year pub crawl quest to visit every CAMRA guide pub Real ale fan Peter Hill has supped an incredible 60,000 pints on a mammoth pub crawl which has seen him visit 24,000 boozers across the UK. He celebrated his 69th birthday in the Elephant & Castle, at the Black Country Living Museum, in Dudley, as he continued his quest to visit every pub in the CAMRA guide. He has enjoyed a pint in every corner of the UK along with his drinking crew – the Black Country Ale Tairsters – and has even had a pint in pubs on 69 islands around the UK. The retired engineer has travelled over 400,000 miles since he started in 1984 and logs every pub he has visited at his West Bromwich home. ‌ ‌ He said: 'Every pub is logged, since number one, and I have over 300 lever arch files with photos, cards and a write up of the pubs. I leave a calling card which I have signed by a pub team member to prove I have been in.' In every pub he visits Peter asks the landlord to make a £1 donation to the Midland Air Ambulance and has so far raised over £35,000. He said: 'Some give a quid, some give a tenner, some £20 and some give nowt. But it's a great charity.' Peter started his journey when he and his pals started visiting pubs listed on a map handed out by Wolverhampton based Banks brewery. After visiting 300 pubs in a year they decided to continue. He said: 'It's taken me 41 years but I've now visited 24,000 pubs, but there are still hundreds more to go. We all love our real ale, but we don't overdo it, 'We have visited every single island with a pub around the British Isles, 69 of them. We've been to the Shetlands, Orkneys, Jersey, Guernsey. It's been a great adventure. I'm going to North Yorkshire next weekend for four days and then Essex after that, so we'll chalk up a few more on the list. Sometimes I'm on my own, but mostly it's a really good crew I travel with. It's brilliant fun. ‌ 'We've travelled across Europe too, to the military sites, the Somme, the Maginot line, the British war graves. We learn about the history and we visit the local pubs too, but they don't count on the list. One of the greatest people we found was a guy from World War 2 who used to look after the SAS war graves in France, He was 92 when we met him.' Peter added: 'I love unusual pubs, pubs with something that makes them stand out. Pubs full of character and antiques. We love our real ales but we also try the stouts and milds.' ‌ Peter also backed The Mirror 's Save Our Pubs campaign - which calls for a "fighting fund" to help struggling pubs, recognising good pubs are the heart of the community. The campaign is crucial because pub closures have a significant impact on communities, leading to job losses and the loss of important social spaces. More than 400 pubs closed for good in England and Wales last year meaning the number of locals has dropped below 39,000 for the first time. Peter said: 'The local pub is vital in so many areas. You can meet for a chat and a laugh. But the prices are ridiculous now. You can pay £7 for a pint. ‌ 'There's the business costs, the taxes, the minimum wage doesn't help. Landlords have to cover the costs and it's a shame so many are closing. The government does need to do more to help.' Peter's top five pubs: Yew Tree Inn, Caulden Staffs: 'You've got to see it to believe it. It's fantastic, full of antiques.' The Mug House, Claines, Worcester: 'A cracking old pub next to a church yard.' The Black Lion, Consall Forge, North Staffs: 'Amazing scenery, next to an old steam railway and canal. It was hard to find, but it's easy now with Sat Nav.' The Rising Sun, Tipton: 'My local, I can't leave that out.' Payton Arms, Stoke Lyne, Oxfordshire: 'A fantastic, unique place. If you like character and cobwebs, this is the one.'

Dua Lipa 'blown away' as she becomes emotional during sold-out Wembley show

EXCLUSIVE: Dua Lipa was overcome with emotion as she took to the stage for her first sold-out concert at Wembley Stadium on Friday, admitting it had always been her dream Dua Lipa was overcome with emotion as she fulfilled her ultimate dream. The global mega-star has had a fast rise to fame since she first emerged in the music industry, and she's showing no signs of slowing down. On Friday, she headlined Wembley Stadium for the first time on the first of two nights at the home of English football, before moving on to Anfield in Liverpool. But the British and Albanian star couldn't believe what was happening as she addressed the sold-out crowd who'd flocked to north-west London to see her perform. ‌ Fans had been camping out at the stadium since Thursday, hoping to get to the very front row to see their idol deliver her biggest hits. Addressing the crowd, Dua said: "It means the absolute world to me that you're here tonight. It feels really special to be here today." ‌ The Levitating songstress continued: "It's been ten years since our first ever London show, which happened to be about 350 people, and I dreamt of a night like this that I get to be in front of 70,000 people. I'm so, so blown away." Dua, who joins a small club of female solo artists to headline the stadium, reflected on her career, admitting she believes one song changed her life, after she was signed to her management and record label. That song was Hotter Than Hell, which was fitting as the UK enjoyed its hottest day of the year. But Dua made sure to pull out all the stops for her first night at the iconic venue with a special guest appearance from Jamiroquai. Dua and Jamiroquai performed an incredible duet of the 1996 hit, Virtual Insanity, for her Radical Optimism tour. Vocalist Jay Kay was rocking a classic black hat with a purple trim and a white fringe jacket for the surprise performance, along with purple trousers. Fans were over the moon with the shock guest and rushed to social media to share their excitement, with one user revealing they "wish" they were at the concert in London to witness the duet. The Londoner joins Beyoncé, Taylor Swift, Adele, P!NK and Rihanna as one of the few women to have headlined the stadium. She performed her anthems, including Training Season, One Kiss, Levitating, Physical, Electricity, New Rules, Be the One, Don't Start Now and Houdini. ‌ Dua was just 17 when she was first discovered by her long-term manager, Ben Mawson, who said the singer has "it all." Speaking to Music Week in 2020, he revealed: "Dua told me she aspired to be Madonna when I met her, when she was 17, and there was something about the way she said it that made me believe her! "It was about her personality, her charisma, her competitiveness and her drive, and that came across. Dua's got it all, so she's unlimited potential." The singer rose to fame with her 2016 hit Be The One followed by her 2017 break-up anthem, New Rules. Since then, she has won several Brit Awards and three Grammys and headlined Glastonbury Festival last year shortly after the release of her third studio album Radical Optimism, which hit number one on the UK albums chart. Her 2020 Future Nostalgia album also reached number one, while her debut self-titled album, Dua Lipa, reached number three. She is the youngest person to feature on this year's Sunday Times 40 Under 40 Rich List, making her one of the wealthiest musicians in the UK. The singer was recently named the most played artist across radio, TV and public places in the UK for a second time by music licensing company Phonographic Performance Limited (PPL).

She is the same age as Madonna was when she headlined Wembley in 1987 as part of her Who's That Girl Tour. Just five other women ­— Beyonce, Rihanna, Taylor Swift, Adele and Pink — have headlined the venue. Only Swift and Rihanna were younger than Dua, both performing there aged 28. Adele was also 29, tying with Dua as the youngest-ever Brit. An insider told The Sun: 'Playing Wembley is a dream come true for Dua and to sell out both nights feels incredible. She's not even at the peak yet and has so much more she wants to achieve. 'To be headlining stadiums with just three albums under her belt proves how influential her music has been. Her world tour has been a huge success. She's on cloud nine.' Fans had been camping outside in North West London since Thursday to see her on the Radical Optimism Tour. Last night, Dua opened with 2024 hit Training Season, and went on to perform her four UK No 1 singles New Rules, One Kiss, Cold Heart and Dance The Night. Dua's family and actor fiancé Callum Turner were also there. From cheeky topless snaps to Dua Lipa's beach break & luxury £3,600 a NIGHT villas - inside globe-trotting stars' super glam Easter getaways She was 17 when she was discovered by former manager Ben Mawson — telling him she aspired to be in the same league as Madonna. He said: 'There was something about the way she said it that made me believe her. 'It was about her personality, her charisma, her competitiveness and her drive — and that came across. Dua's got it all.' Madonna appeared on a 2020 remix of her song Levitating. Dua recalled: 'I was talking with my manager and I was like, 'You know who'd sound really good on this? Madonna.' 'And he said, 'We could send it to her and see if she likes it.' She responded and she was so down. 'I couldn't believe that she wanted to do this record with me. I'm such a fan. It was really exciting.'
