The ultimate guide to anti-ageing your summer wardrobe, by fashion editor SHANE WATSON: From the trendy alternative to the jacket that's adding decades to the faux pas beach cover-up, here's what to ditch - and what to replace it with
You may, like me, already have had your summer panic moment. Perhaps you were getting ready to go out on a warm evening and you slipped on the thing you wore on these occasions this time last year, not thinking twice, assuming nothing will have changed. But Oh Lord… it definitely has.
In the nine months since you last tried on whatever it is (mine was a print dress), you look five years older. Suddenly the arms are too short, the front too low, the fabric too slippery, the colour too sugary, the ruching that looked so flattering now seems to be in the wrong place.

Fashion fans rush to snap up £10 Primark bag that shoppers say is the exact dupe of £1,600 designer equivalent
Roisin Chapman, Lifestyle Reporter Published: Invalid Date, PRIMARK fans are rushing to pick up a new handbag that many are comparing to a high-end buy. The budget-friendly accessory is said to bear a remarkable resemblance to a designer item. Primark, famous for affordable fashion and homeware, recently launched the popular bag. The retailer's Belted Bucket Mini Tote Bag is currently available for just £10. "Sleek and sophisticated, this mini bucket bag is here to revive your accessories edit," the product description read. "The faux leather fabric is practical yet elegant, while the belt detail to either side adds extra style points." This buy features a grab handle and a cross-body strap, for versatile wear. It also has gold-toned hardware, adding a polished touch to the stylish look. "Use it to accessorise all your fave fits and get set to bag plenty of compliments," Primark said. And if you're not already sold, this bag has been compared to high end version, which is currently priced at £1,650 online. The Mini Bucket Louise in smooth calfskin from Celine has a similar look, including a leather-inspired finish, the bucket shape, and the miniature size. Both bags also feature similar gold-tone hardware and two similar handles. Shoppers race to Primark for 'dressy top' that's perfect for a pair of jeans - it's sexy & flattering & in two colours However, the designer bag is of course real leather while Primark's is synthetic. It also features the Celine brand's iconic logo in gold on the front, while Primark's version remains logoless. The Celine description gave more details on the bag, including the lambskin lining, gold finishing, and Triomphe magnetic closure. Primark shoppers could save around £1,640 by opting for the bargain version of this bag. Customers can grab the Primark bag in stores now. You can check availability at your nearest store here. By Clemmie Feildsend, Fabulous Fashion Editor AS someone who's no stranger to grabbing a last-minute outfit from Primark for a night out, it's about time that celebrities started catching on too. For as long as I've been heading out, Primark has been my go-to for those 'I have nothing to wear' moments, rushing in at the last minute to find something perfect. And I'm definitely not alone - on any Friday or Saturday night, you'll find plenty of shoppers doing the same thing, right before closing time. But no matter what, Primark always delivers. Now, Rita Ora is leading the charge, showing that you can snag a designer-worthy look without spending a fortune at high-end stores. While Rita's not rushing in last minute for a red carpet outfit, she's proving you can achieve the same high-impact style for much less. Looking stunning in her tailored suit alongside her mum Vera, Rita fit right in among the other A-listers dripping in Prada, Dior, and Victoria Beckham - if anything, she looked even better than some of the guests at The Fashion Awards. With Myleene Klass and Roxy Horner already jumping on the Primark bandwagon, I'm sure more stars will be following suit soon enough. And this sleek bag isn't the only fashion dupe currently available from Primark. Shoppers have been racing to pick up a Chanel-esque two-piece from the bargain retailer. The chain also launched dupes of a popular dress for £77 less than the high-end version. Plus, Primark shoppers shared their excitement over the "perfect" going out top. 4

‘Are you ready for Strictly?' – Snooker star Shaun Murphy shows off amazing dance moves while onboard a ‘wine train'
SHAUN MURPHY could be getting ready for Strictly Come Dancing after showing off his dance moves on board a wine train. The snooker star, 42, enjoyed a well-earned break following the conclusion of the 2024-25 season. 2 Murphy earned £327,900 to rank ninth in the one-year World Snooker Tour list. He suffered a second-round exit to No2 seed Judd Trump at the World Championship. And then the Englishman lost 4-3 to Mark Williams in the Helsinki International Cup in May. Now Murphy is home after letting his hair down with a holiday in America. The Magician took to Instagram with a pair of posts from the trip. The first was a picture of Murphy smiling in a restaurant earlier in June. He captioned it: "Off season going well - not sure I'll remember how to play snooker at this rate." Then the next post from Friday showed Murphy dancing along to music while riding along the road - with a drink in hand. He was decked out in a pink shirt, grey trousers and sunglasses as September by Earth, Wind & Fire pumped out of the speakers. Murphy wrote: "Just back from a two-week holiday in the States. Ronnie O'Sullivan is BACK with Strictly star Laila Rouass as they ditch Essex for shock new life abroad "I promise it wasn't all drinking and dancing. "Looking forward to getting back on the baize!" And the brilliant video sparked plenty of reaction in the comments. Fellow snooker great Stephen Hendry said: "Oh dear." BBC Sport's Jason Mohammad replied: "Scenes." Another added: "Hate him or love him, but you cannot deny, he got the moves!!! Enjoy it!!!" A fourth typed: "I can't unsee this unfortunately." And a fifth quipped: "Are you ready for Strictly?" But upon his return home, Murphy did not have long to get ready for his 2025-26 season opener. The 2005 world champ took to Instagram again on Sunday afternoon with a photo of himself in action and wrote: "How is it time for the new season???? "Wuhan Qualifier, tomorrow 2.30pm (UK time)."
