The Tu dress our fashion editor says will 'go with everything' - and other stylish items from Sainsbury's new collection
From chic co-ords in on-trend butter yellow, to flattering dresses that could be dressed up or down according to the occasion, there's plenty to love in Tu's latest drop. The details make them look more expensive; from elegant tortoiseshell-effect buttons to linen-blend fabrics. The new collection also includes accessories, with a range of affordable shoes and bags.
You magazine's fashion bookings editor Lila Flint Roberts is among the fans of the brand, and has shared with us the pieces she'll be snapping up from the Tu at Sainsbury's supermarket range this spring, plus her thoughts on each piece...
The goes-with-everything dress
£22.50 Shop
'I have this in khaki from last year, and it's the perfect do it all dress. I love the white and the fun Pepto-Bismol pink shade that Sainsbury's has brought out this year.'
The waistcoat £26
Shop
'This linen co-ord absolutely screams high-end. I'd wear this outfit either for work, or on a fun city break with the girls. Price-wise, it comes in at under £50 for both pieces which is a real steal – especially for the high percentage of linen in the fabric composition.'
The perfect summer trousers
£20 Shop
'Worn as a co-ord, I think this outfit might be little too much like pyjamas. But the trousers alone are so fun – striped poplin trousers were huge last year and I imagine they will still be trending this year. I love Tu's green version.'
'Fisherman sandals are quite a divisive trend, but if you're a fan then you'll love Tu's faux suede iteration here. They're a brilliant summer shoe – more practical than a flip flop but not as claustrophobic as a trainer.'
'These heeled mules will carry you through all of your weddings/birthdays/batmitzvahs this summer.'

The perfect dress for ‘sticky' hot days has landed in Sainsbury's for just £22.50 & it's a must-have for summer holidays
IT'S that time of year again when many of us are preparing for a holiday in the sunshine. From making sure you have the right luggage to filling it with summer staples, and Sainsbury's has just the thing. 2 Shoppers are going wild for The Lobster Printed Strappy Midaxi Dress that is currently available in stores and online. The print features mosaic tiles each filled with different Mediterranean-inspired themes. Printed on the tiles are an array of summer items such as lemons, starfish, chillis, crabs and lobsters, making you reminisce about sitting by the beach enjoying a plate of fresh seafood. The dress features hints of blue, yellow and sunburnt orange to add to the summer vibe. It comes in a midaxi length and it's loose fit makes it classy and comfortable all at the same time. It features a low V-neck front and back with thin straps, making it an effortless style you can dress up or down. The dress is perfect for the beach with a pair of sandals and can also be styled with heeled shoes for the evening. It comes in an inclusive size range starting at a 6 and going up to a size 24. The best part is that the dress is super budget-friendly coming in at just £22.50. TU bosses say: "Designed in a orange lobster print for a distinctive summer look, this sun dress is a chic choice for beach days and sun-soaked getaways. I'm 5ft3 & a size 12-14 - my 7 Tesco dresses are an absolute bargain & perfect for a last-minute wedding guest outfit "Cut to midaxi length, it comes in a loose, flowing silhouette - finished with shoulder straps and a v-neckline." Shoppers who already bought the dress raved about it online, scoring it 4.9 out of 5. One person wrote: "Absolutely beautiful dress, lightweight and perfect for this hot sticky weather! Get lots of compliments when wearing this dress." Another commented: "I'm very happy with this purchase, really cool and easy to wear for our recent heatwave." "I love this dress! It's so comfortable to wear which is perfect for summer days and evenings. I really love the fact that it has pockets," penned a third. Is supermarket fashion the new high street? DEPUTY Fashion Editor Abby McHale weighs in: The supermarkets have really upped their game when it comes to their fashion lines. These days, as you head in to do your weekly food shop you can also pick up a selection of purse-friendly, stylish pieces for all the family. Tesco has just announced a 0.7 per cent increase in the quarter thanks to a 'strong growth in clothing' and M&S has earned the title of the number one destination for womenswear on the high street. Asda's clothing line George has made £1.5 million for the supermarket in 2023, 80 per cent of Sainsbury's clothes sold at full price rather than discounted and Nutmeg at Morrisons sales are also up 2 per cent in the past year. So what is it about supermarket fashion that is becoming so successful? Apart from the clothing actually being affordable, it's good quality too - with many being part of schemes such as the Better Cotton Initiative. A lot of the time they keep to classic pieces that they know will last the customer year after year. Plus because they buy so much stock they can turn around pieces quickly and buy for cheaper because of the volumes. Meanwhile a fourth said: "Love this dress! Flatteringly flowy and cool and too nice to just be saved for holidays!" "Very comfortable to wear. May buy another one to put away for my holiday!' claimed a fifth

Christine McGuinness reveals how Paddy really feels about her love life as they share home
Christine McGuinness reveals how Paddy really feels about her love life as they share home Christine McGuinness has spoken about how she and ex-husband Paddy McGuinness are managing their home and love lives, three years after their decision to separate Paddy McGuinness and Christine McGuinness TV star and model Christine McGuinness has provided intimate details about what her life is like with her ex-husband Paddy McGuinness, as they continue to share a home together. The pair separated in 2022, but have continued to live under the same roof in order to provide continuity for their children Leo, Penelope, and Felicity, who have all been diagnosed with autism. The pair, who were married for over a decade before their split three years ago, have both opened up about their unique living dynamic. Recently, Christine, 37, spoke to the Daily Mail's You Magazine to address how she feels about living with Paddy, 51, and her plans for dating in the future. She told the publication that, whilst the experience has been strange, it was necessary to provide support for the children. Christine explained: 'I'm as confused about it as everyone else. It certainly wasn't in the plan. But no matter what's happened between us, we love our children and they need to be in a routine. 'Going to Mummy's house and then Daddy's house is not going to work for them. So if we have to be in the same house and have a cup of tea with each other, that's fine. We can have a laugh. I'd consider Patrick family, because there are times when you go, 'Oh god, they're doing my head in,' but it's family, so you've just got to get on with it.' Christine McGuinness Christine also touched on the tricky subject of dating and how she and former Top Gear presenter Paddy were feeling about introducing new people into their dynamic. The mum-of-three recently revealed that she has 'only' dated women for the past few years, but won't give her sexuality a label. Sharing Paddy's thoughts on her love life, the star explained: "My ex-husband knew about it from when we first met and was fine with it. So he wasn't shocked when this came out." The couple also discussed how they would approach the subject of dating following their split. Christine divulged: 'We spoke about this after we separated – what are we comfortable with, how much did we want to share – because neither of us wants to wake up and find the other on the front page of a newspaper. 'But it's been three years now, I don't need to know what he's doing and he doesn't need to know about me. It just stays outside the home.' Christine McGuinness Since their split Christine has continued to put her energies into raising awareness of causes close to her heart, following her own autism and ADHD diagnoses. Article continues below An ambassador for Caudwell Children, she also made a documentary with the BBC titled, 'Christine McGuinness: Unmasking My Autism'. Accepting an award earlier this year at the British Diversity Awards for her advocacy, Christine said: 'My dream was to be a mum, and I was blessed with three incredible earth angels, who all just happen to be neurodivergent, and it's because of them that I got my diagnosis. 'I'm so grateful and proud to have my voice and be able to speak for those that can't speak for themselves. Please spend time researching, please be patient with each other, if you have friends or family who are autistic or ADHD.'

Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson had ‘strangest sex scene' in Naked Gun reboo
Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson have left us all in total confusion over whether or not they are actually dating, after being hit with romance rumours. The pair have shared the screen in the new Naked Gun reboot, which is released in cinemas on August 1, but are rumoured to have taken their chemistry off camera. According to insiders, the Taken actor, 73, and the Baywatch icon, 58, are said to be 'enjoying each other's company' and are clearly 'smitten'. Although they have remained coy about the status of their relationship, they did get up close and personal on the set of their new comedy, with writers Dan Gregor and Doug Mand sharing that it was probably the 'strangest sex scene' the stars had filmed. Speaking to Metro at the New York premiere, they shed light on the most absurd thing they asked Liam – who plays the main role of officer Frank Drebin Jr – to do in the role, Dan didn't hold back. 'This is a spoiler, but he has a great … very strange love scene that I believe has to be the strangest sex scene of his life,' he told us. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video 'Every day was the strangest thing,' Doug recalled. 'Every scene is like, 'Liam Neeson is doing this?'' 'We didn't even have an intimacy coordinator for that, no one knew how to do it,' Dan quipped. Thankfully, there actually was an intimacy coordinator present for the shoot, with one particularly bizarre montage showing Frank and Beth (Pamela) taking their relationship to the next level – where they were joined in the bedroom by a snowman. Despite the absurd set-up, Liam shared that those moments were actually his favourite to film, adding more fuel to the romance speculation. In a photoshoot and interview with You Magazine, where they were reportedly 'all over each other' the Love Actually star admitted that 'the sex scenes' with Pamela were his highlight. Speaking of the coordinator, he revealed: 'I'd never had one before. But she was in the background. There was no kind of, 'Okay, excuse me!'''. 'She knew when to walk away,' Pamela joked, pretending to be an exasperated intimacy coordinator, throwing her hands in the air and storming off, continuing the bit by adding: ''I can't take this!'' 'She said, 'This is too hot for me. I'm going for coffee,'' Liam added, while also referring to his co-star's audition tape as 'incredibly sexy' and 'funny'. Both have remained publicly single over the last few years, with The Last Showgirl star Pamela stating in September that she was 'much happier' on her own, but added that not being in a relationship after five marriages was 'tough'. Meanwhile Liam hasn't seriously dated anyone since his wife, Parent Trap actress Natasha Richardson, tragically died at the age of 45 after sustaining head injuries in a skiing accident in 2009. During a TV appearance on the Today show, they clearly had some fun with the speculation when host Craig Melvin asked: 'What's the deal here? You're both single right now. There's clearly chemistry. Are you two an item?' 'What?! I don't understand the question,' Pamela coyly replied while Liam jokingly shook his head. However, a source shared with People Magazine that they are 'smitten', insisting: 'It's a budding romance in the early stages. 'It's sincere, and it's clear they're smitten with each other.' They added that the stars are 'enjoying each other's company'. 'I'm madly in love with her,' Liam said of Pamela in a previous interview while promoting the film. 'With Pamela, first off, I'm madly in love with her. She's just terrific to work with,' he said. 'I can't compliment her enough, I'll be honest with you. 'No huge ego. She just comes in to do the work. She's funny and so easy to work with. She's going to be terrific in the film.' Meanwhile Pamela described her castmate as the 'perfect gentleman'. 'He brings out the best in you… with respect, kindness and depth of experience. It was an absolute honor to work with him,' she raved, despite having entered the rehearsal room 'shaking' with nerves, intimidated to meet him. 'Once we got going he's such a gentleman, he's such a sweetheart. He's so giving and generous and we're very complimentary and supportive. You can't help but fall in love with Liam.' Fans' eyebrows are sky-high at this point, with social media flooded with questions over whether they're the real deal. 'Are they in love or something?' asked @kingshagrin. That is the question. Their overtly flirty interviews could be part of a whole marketing campaign for The Naked Gun, their sequel to slapstick 1980s and 90s comedy of the same name. In it, Liam plays head of the police squad Frank Drebin Jr who must follow in his father's footsteps and save the world, with Pamela as 'femme fatale' Beth, who goes to the police for help after her brother's murder. A previous promotional video for reboot showed them hamming up their off-screen flirtation, very much tongue in cheek. When asked how they were building chemistry for the role, Liam innocently responded, 'Nothing out of the ordinary,' before a clip showed the pair in various romantic settings which were very much out of the ordinary. More Trending He was shown putting his arm around her in front of an ocean sunset, the duo laughed in a fairy-lit restaurant over spaghetti, and danced in the moonlight, even going so far as doing trust falls. After all these clips played out like a romantic comedy montage, it cut to Pamela sitting next to Liam in the interview setting, as she said: 'Yeah, just the usual.'
