I'm a fashion expert – I've found seven summer dresses that hide bingo wings… and they're not frumpy
Our round-up also reveals the colour of the season, and it has already been sported by both Kendall Jenner and Princess Kate LONGING FOR SLEEVES I'm a fashion expert – I've found seven summer dresses that hide bingo wings… and they're not frumpy Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) BINGO wings beware – the high street has gone sleeveless mad. And if, like me, you don't love your upper arms, that's seriously bad news. 7 Bright red puff sleeve midi dress, £36, Next Credit: Next 7 Cream satin floral twist front maxi dress, £56, River Island Credit: River Island I know I'm not alone, either. When I ranted about this in the office, there was a chorus of agreement. Not because we're all body-conscious, but because — shock horror — some of us want to wear real clothes to places other than a beach. On TikTok, clips showing exercises to eliminate bingo wings have hundreds of thousands of likes. And I'm not surprised. At the age of 35, it's quite common for women my age — and older — to feel self-conscious about their arms. Over-50s fitness influencer Nikki Brow amasses more than 560k views on TikTok for her 'Menopause ladies' videos to banish bingo wings. And #armworkout videos have more than 4.5 billion views on the social media platform. But trying to find anything to cover our upper arms this summer is a relentless task. As someone who spends an unhealthy amount of time trawling the rails of the high street (it's my job, after all), I recently found myself storming through Zara in London's Oxford Street, wondering if the designers had collectively lost the plot — or just stopped believing in sleeves. Everywhere I turned it was strappy slip dresses, halterneck beachwear pretending to be occasionwear, and sequinned numbers clearly aimed at women who treat the club loos as a selfie booth. And sleeves? Nowhere to be found. There was one long-sleeved dress and, plot twist, it had no back. Shoppers run to bag on-trend spring dress with 'boho vibes' in Sainsbury's Brilliant. So now I've got to shell out again for a stick-on-bra and rolls of duct tape to keep everything in its rightful place. But it's not just Zara, either. Unless your upper arms resemble Michelle Obama's, your options are: repeat-wear something from last year, or whip out the sewing kit. And spare me the body-positivity speeches. 'Just go sleeveless,' they say, or 'Embrace your arms — no one cares'. Well, I care when I catch sight of my reflection in a shop window and see the glaring sight of a wide arm. I want sleeves. Not cap sleeves (a con), not flutter sleeves (cute but pointless), but sleeves that actually cover the upper arm. But never fear, I've done the legwork (or the arm work) and found the best sleeved summer dresses that tick all the right boxes. Because fashion should make you feel good and for some of us, that means keeping our arms under wraps. EMPIRE LINE Red, Next, £36 Empire line, with a seam and fitted under the bust, is flattering on everyone, from fuller busts to fuller middles. This number from Next in bold red and accented sleeves is perfect for summer. EVERY OCCASION WEAR Multi, River Island, £56 No one wants to splash out on a statement dress that will only see you through one wedding, or an annual trip to the races. You want a dress that's value for money and that you can wear all season. River Island's long-sleeved midaxi does just that. A knotted waist and slightly padded shoulders enhance an hourglass figure, while the busy print is disguising without being too loud. BOLD PRINT Floral, H&M, £27.99 7 Floral patterned midi dress, £27.99, H&M Credit: Supplied Ditsy florals have a habit of ageing us, whereas bolder colours and prints inject life into our outfits, like this button-down H&M dress. This is summer in a frock. With its pretty-yet-punchy pattern and elegant length, it's the non-frumpy floral dress we've been waiting for. Wear it on a Sunday stroll, or for a day at the races. BARGAIN BOHO Floral, Tu at Sainsbury's, £35 7 Floral boho maxi dress, by Tu at Sainsbury's, £35 Credit: Supplied Boho has made a triumphant return to fashion this year, but while most of us over 25 can't bear the thought of wearing disc belts and a mini dress, this embodies the trend without looking like 1970s fancy dress. Slight ruffled detailing gives depth, while breaking up the floral print. And a V-neckline is flattering for fuller busts. SHIRT DRESS Green, George at Asda, £38 7 Green shirt dress with linen, George at Asda, £38 Credit: Asda Create a defined silhouette with a classic shirt dress. This one has a slightly puffed sleeve that gives it an expensive feel. In a deep, verdant green, it also creates a bold look with zero effort and can be dressed up with metallic accessories for holidays and weddings, or dressed down with your favourite Birkenstocks for everyday wear. TIMELESS CLASSIC Polka dot, Primark, £14 7 Primark polka dot dress, £14 Credit: Primark From royalty to the high street, you can't go wrong with a bit of polka dot. It's one of those trusty staples you can keep in your wardrobe for years. With a three-quarter sleeve and shin-length skirt, this Primark dress is perfect for summer. HELLO YELLOW Broderie, New Look, £69.99 7 Yellow broderie anglaise midi dress, New Look, £69.99 Credit: Supplied Butter yellow is the colour of the season, with everyone from Kendall Jenner to the Princess of Wales sporting the hue. Another style synonymous with summer is broderie anglaise. And New Look's hybrid of the two trends, with a slit down the back, is the one for you. With three-quarter sleeves and delicate cut-outs, it's a designer-looking dress for less.

Sofia Richie Grainge's The Row Sandals Look Just Like This $55 Amazon Style
Flip-flops are having their moment again. Just ask Jennifer Aniston, Gigi Hadid, or the entire Cosmo team, who have embraced the thong sandal revival with open arms—and pedicured toes. If you had any doubt about the polarizing shoe trend left, this should settle it: Certified it girl Sofia Richie Grainge just shared back-to-back Instagrams in the style. While vacationing in the French Riviera (at the same opulent hotel as her royal wedding!) Sofia has been reaching for the exact flip-flops that, well, all of Hollywood is wearing: The Row Dune Cotton Flat Thong Sandals. Jennifer Lawrence, Zoë Kravitz, Kendall Jenner, and Hailey Bieber have all been spotted in the trending shoe. But, here's the thing: While they can afford to spend $690 on a rubber flip-flop, I cannot! And, I don't have to! There's a $55 version on Amazon that looks identical—down to Sofia's colorway. The lookalike sandal has the same red textured outsole and ribbed black thong strap as the designer style. They're so similar, in fact, that I'm quite sure I couldn't tell the difference in a side-by-side. The rubber footbed offers just the right amount of cushion, and you don't have to worry about blisters thanks to its soft ribbon-like fabric. Shoppers can confirm! "They are very comfortable to wear. The insole has a raised massaging surface that feels really good on the bottom of your feet," one reviewer says. "The straps are fabric so they do not cut into your toes or feet." Another customer adds that the flip-flops are so "cute, comfy, and affordable" that they've "had many pairs over the years." In addition to the classic red and black style Sofia opted for, Amazon also has an all-black sandal and black and sand color combo just like The Row versions Kendall Jenner and Hailey Bieber chose. Oh, and the beauty of a flip-flop (and these, in particular)??? They go with everything. Hailey wore the Dunes with leggings, Kendall styled 'em with jeans, and Sofia paired the shoes with several different swimwear looks. So, if you're looking to cosplay as a girl who can afford $690 flip-flops (without actually spending that), now's your chance! I'm certainly taking it! Megan Schaltegger is an NYC-based writer. She loves strong coffee, eating her way through the Manhattan food scene, and her dog, Murray. She promises not to talk about herself in third person IRL.

Shakira gets candid about 'constant fear' of living in the US amid Trump immigration raids and protest riots
Shakira opened up about being an immigrant in America and said that it means 'living in constant fear.' The singer-songwriter, who moved from her native Colombia to Miami, Florida as a teenager to further her music career, spoke out about the Trump administration's immigration policies. This comes amid ongoing protests against ICE as raids and riots run rampant cities like Los Angeles — while other A-list stars like Kendall Jenner have shared their own politically-charged statements amid the outrage and unrest. 'I was only 19 when I moved to the US, like many other Colombian immigrants who come to this country looking for a better future,' she told BBC News. The Hips Don't Lie hitmaker, now 48, said that she learned English by studying poetry written by Walt Whitman and songs penned by Leonard Cohen and Bob Dylan in order to 'understand how the English language works within songwriting.' She addressed the immigration crackdown on alleged violations and said that immigrants in the United States today live in fear and 'it's painful to see.' Her speaking out comes just shortly after she canceled her third concert in three days after making history with her record-breaking tour. With part of her statement in Spanish as she addresses her Latin American fans, she encouraged them to stay strong. 'Now, more than ever, we have to remain united,' she said. 'Now, more than ever, we have to raise our voices and make it very clear that a country can change its immigration policies, but the treatment of all people must always be humane.' Earlier this year, Shakira won a Grammy for Best Latin Pop Album for Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran. And during her speech, she dedicated the award to 'all my immigrant brothers and sisters in this country.' She added: 'You are loved, you are worth it, and I will always fight with you.' The day before, Kendall Jenner also shared a politically charged statement amid the ongoing unrest in Los Angeles over ICE raids ordered by President Donald Trump. Protests erupted after Trump ordered ICE raids in the area and deployed 2,000 National Guard troops despite objections from California Governor Gavin Newsom. In response, several celebrities in addition to Shakira and Jenner also made a statement. Among them are Eva Longoria and Chrissy Teigen, who posted fiery messages on Instagram to rally their followers. Jenner took to her Instagram Stories the day before to share a message and amplify 'Los Angeles Immigrant Community Resources' as she encouraged her followers to get involved and spread awareness. A link to the organization's social media showed a caption reading: 'LA, it's time to mobilize all of our community. Your actions do make a difference. Do your part as we look out for each other. 'LA stands united. Share these immigration community resources widely. Repost, amplify, organize. Spanish language version coming soon.'
