Louise Roe's tailored midi dress nails Royal Ascot's dress code and has 20% off
Fashion expert Louise Roe secured her place on Royal Ascot's best dressed list with a tailored red midi dress from Karen Millen – and you can still shop her exact look with 20% off
This year's Royal Ascot outfits have been some of the best yet, and one celeb to firmly cement her place on the best dressed list is Louise Roe. The fashion journalist and broadcaster showed off her outfit on Instagram, opting for the form-fitting Pleated Tailored Midi Blazer Dress from high street favourite Karen Millen.
The flattering tailored dress is usually priced at £229, but currently shoppers can save 20% on Louise's exact dress, with the price slashed to £183.20. Everything from its bold red hue to the sharp tailoring and breezy midi skirt made it a hit for the event, looking effortlessly cool whilst still nailing Royal Ascot 's smart occasionwear dress code.
Described on the Karen Millen site as 'where power dressing meets feminine charm', the Pleated Tailored Midi Blazer Dress has a structured bodice with a short sleeved blazer-inspired design. It nips in at the waist and flares out gently over the hips to create an hourglass silhouette, with structured shoulders to balance your figure.
The short sleeves help keep it cool enough to wear even in the high temperatures, with a classic double breasted button fastening and notched lapels that make it formal and smart. The fitted bodice then flows into a pleated midi skirt which has plenty of movement for a breezy, effortless look.
Although Louise's Karen Millen Tailored Midi Dress is still available to buy, it's currently selling out quickly with only sizes six, 10 and 14 left in stock. We did however spot another very similar design at Karen Millen, with the Petite Tailored Crepe Asymmetric Pleated Midi Dress slashed by a huge 70% from £289 to £87.
Elsewhere this Friends Like These Red Long Sleeve Belted Wrap Tailored Dress from Next (£49) has a similar spirit to Louise's Karen Millen dress, albeit with a more simple design. For something more breezy and on the casual side, Finery London's Penny Red Midi Dress is also £49 and is made from a breezy, flowing cotton material.
However if you want to get your hands on Louise's Pleated Tailored Midi Blazer Dress and it still has your size available, now is the perfect time to snap it up.

'Lush' Ariana Grande fragrance is 50% off this weekend only
LookFantastic has slashed 50% off a huge range of perfumes for this weekend only, including a popular pick by Ariana Grande Fragrance fans rejoice, LookFantastic is running a huge sale on some of its best-selling perfumes but anyone wanting to snap up a bargain bottle will have to act fast because the deal ends on Monday. Ariana Grande 's hugely popular Thank U, Next Eau de Parfum has had its price halved, dropping from its original price of £55 to £27.50 for a 100ml bottle. Ideal for scent fans looking for a new summer fragrance, Thank U, Next is a sweet, playful perfume earning its own loyal following. Boasting a fruity blend of coconut, pear, and raspberry, the fragrance, releases a bouquet of delicate pink roses and undertones of musk, feeling indulgent without being overpowering. The result is a smooth finish that clings to the skin and lasts throughout the day. Its long-lasting staying power is one of the reasons it's recommended by fragrance fans. Shoppers looking for a summery fragrance are spoiled for choice at the moment, with several other retailers launching perfume sales, At Boots shoppers can currently save up to 50% off fragrances for summer too. The Versace Oud Noir Eau de Parfum 100ml is now £60.50, down from £121. Meanwhile, Superdrug has a huge selection of fragrance Star Buys, including Versace's The Dreamer For Him which has been reduced from £74 to £24 in their current sale, working out at a huge 67% saving. The fragrance has 468 reviews and an average rating of 4.6 stars making it at a standout option with shoppers. Part of Ariana Grande's growing perfume collection, Thank U, Next is loved for its fun, feminine bottle and the way it balances dessert-like sweetness with floral softness and musk undertones. One happy LookFantastic shopper summed it up by saying: 'Oh my goodness, this is lush. The smell does not wear off, it's great.' Fans love the perfume and, while at LookFantastic there aren't many reviews, a check at other retailers selling it are similarly glowing. At Superdrug, where it currently costs £44 as part of their fragrance sale, the fragrance has 4.9 stars out of 5 based on 60 reviews, with 98% of respondents saying they'd recommend it to a friend. One five star reviewer said: "I ordered this perfume yesterday and I have another one that I received for my birthday last year (I've not used it all up yet). It smells absolutely amazing and lasts pretty much all day, the shape of this bottle is lovely and reminds you of summer when you wear it. I would 1000% recommend it." However it wasn't a resounding hit with everyone. One three star reviewer said: "I have a lot of Ariana Grande's perfumes, this one isn't the best. It smells like oranges to me but I know thats the coconut." Many shoppers praise Thank U, Next for its long lasting scent, with another shopper describing it as their 'favourite perfume ever,' adding: "This is my fourth time repurchasing this perfume. It seems so good and it lasts so long (can even smell it the next day on your clothes)." The generous £27.50 saving on the 100ml bottle makes this a brilliant option for gifting too, whether for a birthday, special occasion, or just a little treat. This deal ends on Monday, as is available on LookFantastic.

Meghan launches new jams and £20 orange blossom honey in website restock
Meghan had promised some 'delicious surprises' as she teased, earlier this week, that she would be offering some new products on her As Ever site. Also available are an apricot spread in 'keepsake packaging' and a crepe mix, both £10 each, flower sprinkles for £11 and a range of herbal teas at £9 each. In an Instagram post at the same time as the new products went live, the California-based duchess wrote: 'Yummies, and honeys, and fruit spreads, oh my!' Meghan previously said the April launch of her As Ever products, including jam and herbal tea, had been 'absolutely extraordinary'. But she also spoke of her fear that she annoyed customers when the first batch of her jam and herbal teas sold out in less than an hour. She said wanted to wait until it is 'completely stable and we have everything we need'. In the run-up to her re-stock, Meghan shared a photo of jam-making preparations including bowls of strawberries, raspberries and blueberries, and freshly squeezed lemons, on her Instagram stories, writing: ''June gloom?' Not over here! Because this month your favourite products are back.' Her official As Ever account also posted: 'To all who've been wondering and waiting, thank you! 'Your favourites are returning, plus a few NEW things we can't wait to show you. Coming this month … get excited!'
