Charli XCX declares that Brat summer is forever in triumphant Lido Festival set
As night fell on Saturday at Lido Fest, a crumpled lime-green curtain dropped behind Charli XCX, revealing one word in stark, identifiable Arial font: brat. The crowd, 35,000 strong and dressed like a 2007 Tumblr page come to life, screamed with the abandon of people who had been drinking in the hot sun all day (they had). A year after the release of her sixth and most critically celebrated album Brat, Charli returned to London's Victoria Park for the PARTYGIRL edition of Lido Fest. She curated the lineup herself: a mix of glitchy pop, downtown internet darlings, and off-kilter club icons including AG Cook, Magdalena Bay, The Dare, 070 Shake, and Bladee. The energy was messy, maximal, and the crowd was committed to micro shorts, Jaded London tops, and performatively smoking cigarettes. The Dare nearly collapsed the festival's infrastructure by pulling one of the rowdiest crowds of the day, with organizers having to close access to the tent, meaning the line outside stretched on like a Glastonbury mirage. Food, bar, and toilet queues also became more than a little daunting as Charli's set drew nearer, but the vibes never sagged. And none of that mattered when Charli took the stage. Alone but never lonely, Charli delivered a set that was as minimal as a DJ gig but felt closer to a rave sermon. Dressed in leather micro shorts emblazoned 'XCX' and a slime-green crop top, she writhed, twerked, and twitched through the entirety of Brat. It was minimalism by design – because any more spectacle would've been trying too hard for the queen of gritty nonchalance. Charli isn't pretending to be the cool girl; she effortlessly is. And even a single backup dancer or costume change would have diluted the DIY Dalston basement gig vibe. If you're fresh off seeing Cowboy Carter or fondly remember the Eras Tour, Charli XCX offered something so different it almost felt like another genre of event. Highlights included Amelia Dimoldenberg appearing onscreen to perform the viral apple dance. Bladee emerged for Rewind, and Everything is Romantic was performed under a perfectly bratty, bruised sky. And when Charli inch-wormed her way across the stage during Sympathy is a Knife, a quick glance into the crowd revealed pairs of middle-manager types – weekend warriors in frayed denim and tiny sunglasses- making out like teens at an illegal warehouse rave. That's the Charli effect. She brings out the animal in the British public, and the repressed becomes reckless – it's an effect worth more than any amount of backup dancers or fancy set. English lads who normally apologize when someone bumps into them suddenly become bass-gobbling, beat-thirsty creatures with unearned confidence while girls too shy to ask for ketchup at Nando's suddenly flick ash off a cigarette in the smoking area like they invented cool. Charli is the wave of ego that hits just before the comedown. The show was stripped down, yes. But Charli was full power: gloriously hot, brusquely flirtatious, commanding without ever looking like she tried. A visible bruise on her ass (yes, that ass) felt like an accessory, as if she'd been slammed into a speaker while chasing the night. Totally brat. Totally believable. The set closed with a message on the big screen: 'I thought Brat Summer was over… but actually it isn't over.' Then, more tenderly: 'Would you hate me if I stick around? Because honestly I don't know who I am if it's over.' And finally: 'Please don't let it be over.' If you came expecting a summer album, you left with a life philosophy. And just when we thought we'd collectively ascended, she brought out I Love It. The screams that erupted could have earned a noise complaint at Buckingham Palace. Artificial rain then fell as Charli screamed Blame It On Your Love on a stage tilted so steeply it might qualify as a ski slope. She was literally upstaged by her own legend. More Trending Brat isn't just an album. It's not about being shallow or chaotic for chaos' sake; it's about surviving the end of the world with a cigarette in one hand, a half-warm vodka soda in the other, and a tiny top that says 'try me.' It's political and nihilistic, sexy and strange, a bit self-aware and fully self-indulgent. You can't see brat, you just feel it. And in Victoria Park, you could feel it in your chest, your knees, your soul. Charli's victory lap at Lido Fest proved that she really is more than a summer fad, and she never needed anything but a microphone to make her a star. Got a story?

Ann Summers might be the unexpected hero of your Glastonbury festival wardrobe
Festival season is officially here, and for those attending Glastonbury on the 25th of June, you'll be well aware that outfit planning is as crucial as the lineup. In my quest for the perfect ensemble, I've stumbled upon some unexpected options at Ann Summers. The brand is nailing it with its glamorous, dancefloor-ready collection. From sequin-adorned bodysuits to faux leather shorts, it's got all the elements for a headline act moment - and some items are even discounted. Topping my wish list is the Flashing Lights Sequin Body, now £27.20 (down from £34). With its electric pink hue and abundant sparkle, it's practically designed for dancing under the stage lights, reports the Manchester Evening News. It's bold, playful and a bit cheeky, featuring a deep back and mesh thong rear. Team it with denim cut-offs, or go all out and wear it alone with a pair of knee-high boots. Charli XCX would approve. For those feeling particularly daring, the Eternal Rainbow Suit is another option. Now reduced to £28.80 from £36, it's crafted from rainbow lace and mesh instead of a solid colour, lending it a dreamy vibe. It also features underwired cups for added support and adjustable shoulder straps for enhanced comfort. With a statement piece like this, keep the rest of your outfit understated. Consider black shorts and chunky combat boots to let the bodysuit take centre stage. If you're on the hunt for the ultimate festival outfit, Jaded London is a cracking alternative. They've got some ace fits on offer, including cargo trousers and co-ords that ooze main-stage vibes. I wore these beige parachute trousers to the Lido Festival in London last weekend, and they were both comfortable and stylish. Alternatively, you might want to check out Motel Rocks. Renowned for bold prints, sheer layering and that quintessential y2k party-girl energy, it's bang on for romping around in a muddy field. When it comes to Ann Summers, they've also got some top-notch short options up for grabs. For the festival crowd, you can go all-out glam with a pair featuring diamante detailing or opt for understated chic with a classic black number – both at £28 a pop. The brand's festival lineup hasn't been widely reviewed yet, though a few punters have chimed in on the diamante shorts. One shopper wrote: "Really pretty. The material is thin, which is perfect for summer. I love the bling detail on the chains." Another shared: "I recently went from 16 to 14, and I am choosing size medium more often. I went with a size large on this one so that my belly doesn't stick out. They are a bit large, but I love how they make me look as if I have room." As far as negative critiques on the festival range go, there's not much chatter on Ann Summers' own site. Yet some folks have had a gripe about its delivery service on TrustPilot, noting: "I placed an order which was cancelled a week later. No reason was given; the email stated that if I still wanted the products, I should place a new order."

From Mrunal Thakur's boss babe look to Mira Kapoor's mesmerizing white appearance, here are the five celebrities who ruled this week with their style statements. 1. Mrunal Thakur For the first look, we have Mrunal Thakur, who channeled CEO energy in a satin shirt neatly tucked into formal pants, creating a polished appearance. The highlight of her outfit was a long brown trench coat with oversized silhouette that added drama and instantly grabbed attention. Letting her outfit speak for itself, she kept accessories minimal with cool sunglasses and styled her hair into a sleek bun, with front strands softly framing her face. 2. Disha Patani Bold fashion and Disha Patani always go hand in hand. At the F1 race in Monaco, Europe, the actress wore a wrap top from Jaded London worth Rs 7,050, featuring a deep neckline that showcased her cleavage. The criss-cross pattern around her waist became the real showstopper of her look. She paired it with forest camo colossus jeans worth Rs 11,000. Completing her style, trendy sunglasses perched on her nose and a brown bag hung from her shoulder. She looked absolutely sizzling. 3. Mira Kapoor A successful entrepreneur and the beautiful wife of Shahid Kapoor, Mira Kapoor attended an event in an off-shoulder long white gown by Simkhai, priced at Rs 57,300. The off-shoulder design highlighted her collarbones and shoulders, while the ruched pattern added a fresh feel and cascaded into a flare. The back was the real charmer with a stylish cut-out design. Keeping the styling simple, she opted for golden earrings, a watch, and a bracelet. Her hair was left open with a side partition. 4. Sara Ali Khan Exuding a fairytale vibe, Sara Ali Khan's bold look in a mini blue dress had us completely hooked. She wore a strapless, body-hugging blue outfit that perfectly accentuated her figure. But the real showstopper was her bag, featuring an oversized bow design that stole the spotlight. She beautifully enhanced her look with statement stud earrings and a ponytail hairstyle, leaving some strands loose for a soft touch. 5. Kajol Inspired by the look of Goddess Kali, Kajol donned a custom Torani saree for the trailer launch of her upcoming movie Maa. The simple black saree was draped traditionally around her pallu, paired with a glamorous, fully embellished golden blouse. She completed the look with a round bindi on her forehead and left her hair open with a middle partition. These five looks from this week are our favorites.

The cool jeans choice added the street-style vibe, just what she needed to feel at ease and enjoy the race. Not settling for the bare minimum, the Bharat actress added a dash of cool and class with Gucci's rectangular frame sunglasses worth Rs 54,476. Her hair was left open in the side partition; after some time, she tied it into a messy bun. Another cute detail in her look was the Chanel heart charm flat bag over her shoulder.
