Daily Mirror07-05-2025
River Island shoppers are heaping praise on a "stunning" dress they've spotted online. The retailer is well known for its trendy fashion offerings - and it may have just introduced a new must-have.
The Brown Bow Halter Neck Midi Dress is priced at £39 at River Island and features a bodycon design, halter neck, midi length and bow detail. It comes in sizes S to XL.
The dress is 92% Polyester and 8% Elastane, and shoppers are encouraged to iron it on cool and machine wash it on a maximum of 30°C. The retailer warns against bleaching, tumble drying or dry cleaning the dress.
River Island took to Instagram to share a number of products worn by fashion influencer Perrie Sian. Among the options was the Brown Bow Halter Neck Midi Dress.
The post was captioned: "We can't choose a fave. What's your pick from @perriesian's summer wardrobe?" The photos racked up more than 1,400 likes and many comments from excited shoppers.
Among them, one person said: "Love!!" and a second wrote: "Beaut!!" A third shopper added: " Love them. Especially the brown dress. I can't find it though online."
A fourth impressed shopper said: " Looks classy and stunning." A fifth just wrote: "Love and the sandals."
Choosing their favourite, one shopper just said: "Brown dress." A different shopper wrote: "Love them all," while another added: "You just look so perfect in every way."
Other shoppers also praised the other outfit options seen in the photos. One said: "I love the shorts and top and belt, where is the belt from I can't find it."
A second wrote: "Love the third outfit." Another added: "Can't find the striped dress online."
Some shoppers have taken to review website TrustPilot to share their thoughts on River Island, particularly when it comes to large sizing, so it might be worth keeping this in mind when ordering online. One person said: "Lovely quality but not great sizing."
Another customer shared: "The quality of most clothes I've tried on are good... but the sizing is HUGE!! I recently bought some new UK size 6 shorts, skirts, jeans and trousers and they slid down my hips and legs!
"They wouldn't stay on my hips! The dress was huge on me too! I've had to return most of the order (kept the UK size 4 items)."

Inside Reese Witherspoon's intense diet and fitness regime amid summer romance with boyfriend Oliver Haarmann

Reese Witherspoon is loved up and looking better than ever. The Legally Blonde actress, 49, was recently papped appearing completely smitten with her financier boyfriend, Oliver Haarmann, 57, during a sun-kissed holiday in Saint-Tropez. The Hollywood star looked sensational in a white swimsuit in photos obtained by Daily Mail as she kissed her boyfriend and frolicked in the sea. While the couple packed on the PDA as they embraced on their lavish yacht break, fans couldn't help but ogle and applaud Reese's enviable physique – and it's clear that a disciplined exercise routine and diet has played an integral part. Here, Femail takes a closer look into how Reese manages to achieve her radiating skin and trim figure. First things first, the mom-of-three has maintained that her diet is 'all about balance.' In a social media post on July 14, she noted how she enjoyed eating pizza, pasta and gelato for seven days during her whirlwind vacation in the south of France. Following the holiday, Reese jumped on a health kick and whipped up a healthy green smoothie in a video shared on Instagram, which consisted of two heads of romaine lettuce, spinach, a banana, celery, one pear, one apple, and an entire lemon. The Legally Blonde actress was recently papped looking sensational - and completely smitten - with her financier boyfriend Oliver Haarmann in Saint-Tropez She added in coconut water for the base. Reese previously shared the same recipe five years earlier on her official Hello Sunshine YouTube page. Discussing the green juice, she said: 'I have this instead of breakfast. I have it around 10 or 11 o'clock in the morning and then I'm not hungry at all until 1 o'clock.' Reese credited Django Unchained actress Kerry Washington for telling her about the recipe. She said: 'I sat next to her at an awards show, and I didn't really know her, and I said your skin is so beautiful, what do you do?' 'And she said, I think it's from this drink that I drink, it's just really changed my skin and it's made my hair and nails really strong. So, thank you Kerry for sharing the recipe.' In another post, Reese maintained her quest for a balanced diet as she revealed some of the items she can't live without. Among the items included in her list was fresh peaches in the summer, real yogurt soft serve, homemade chocolate, and tacos. In 2019 Reese told Radio Times in the UK that she typically starts her day with no food. 'I just have a green juice and a coffee in the morning,' she shared in an interview with UsWeekly. 'I don't believe in crash dieting or anything like that... I work out all the time anyway just to stay healthy.' As for her exercise routine, Reese is nothing but disciplined and ensures she works out every single day. 'I exercise every day and eat right every day, no matter what is going on,' she told the 2023 Australian Real Estate Conference, per Marie Claire Australia. 'If I'm working way into the night, I eat with frequency and I take care of my mind and spirit.' In 2020, Reese's personal trainer Kirschen Katz revealed her grueling pre-Golden Globes fitness regime in an interview with PopSugar. According to Kirschen, she would begin her workout with a gentle run spanning between three to five miles. After her run, Reese would do an upper-body weights workout before a 30-minute yoga session. To end her workout, Reese would finish with some breath work. In January 2023, she proudly displayed her toned tummy in a blue bra top and leggings from her very own clothing brand Draper James as she showed fans some of her yoga positions. Reese was working out on a patio while listening to a song from Lizzo. Her moves included lunges and side bends. Besides yoga, Reese likes to keep fit by playing pickleball and hiking.

Now back in the main villa, they have acted like strangers. A source said: 'Ty and Lauren are acting like they've only just met but that's far from the case. 'They hooked up during the dry run, which is where a fake cast moves into the villa to test out everything from camera angles, to kitchen appliances and run-through challenges. 'And then they even saw each other on the outside before ITV invited them back to be part of Casa Amor. 'Now they're both in the main villa pretending like none of this ever happened but it's all entirely fake and ITV know about it. 'Viewers deserve to know it's all a huge sham.' COUPLING UP Lauren, 26, was selected by Harrison Solomon, 23, whilst Ty, also 23, was chosen by Shakira Khan, 22 in the mid-series relationship test earlier this month. In a twist of fate, on Tuesday night both of the fakers were dumped by their partners so boomeranged back to each other. Furious Love Islanders slam Shakira as she sends couple home in shock dumping decision Viewers watched a scene where the pair appeared to chat for the first time. Ty said: 'I feel like I've not really spoken to you. I feel like I've been catching eyes with you but I've not really had chance to speak to you. Lauren giggled: 'Yeah I know.' He asked: 'Are you still open? You knew that was coming. Obviously you're an attractive girl.' Love Island 2025 - Casa Amor girls WHO are the latest bombshells heading into the spin-off villa?

Actress uses ex-husband's sperm to become pregnant via IVF without his consent

Korean actress, Lee Si-young, has been accused of 'cornering' her ex into fatherhood after becoming pregnant via IVF using his sperm without his consent South Korean star, Lee Si-young, has been branded 'selfish' after admitting to using her ex-husband's sperm to become pregnant via IVF without his consent. Si-young, 43, was married to entrepreneur, Cho Seong-hyun, with whom she shares a seven-year-old son, for eight years until they divorced in March. ‌ The actress and former amateur boxer, who has four million followers on Instagram, recently announced she is pregnant again via an embryo, which was fertilised five years ago while she was still with Seong-hyun. Announcing the news on Instagram, in a now-deleted post, Si-young said she "had to make a choice" to use the embryo, adding that she "will bear the full weight of my decision" while admitting: "I didn't ask for consent from the other person". ‌ ‌ Explaining the reason behind her life-changing choice, she wrote as per a translation via The KTea's Instagram page: "Eight years ago, when I had my first child, now the most important person in my life, I was not married and filming a drama. "Back then, I was younger and had many shortcomings. Every time I saw Jung-yoon in my arms, I regretted and blamed myself for the time I spent with anxiety negatively. "That's why I promised myself that if I ever got another chance, I would never regret it again. I prepared for my second child through IVF during my marriage. ‌ "However, a long time passed without receiving the fertilised embryos, and the topic of divorce naturally came up. After all the legal process was sorted out, the five-year frozen embryo storage period was ending, and I had to make a choice. Before the disposal date, I decided to have the transplant myself." Admitting she didn't ask for consent "from the other person", she said: "Although I didn't ask for consent from the the other person, I will bear the full weight of my decision.' Si-young also said how grateful she was for her son, who helped her "endure her troubled married life", concluding: "Right now, I am only grateful for the new life that came to me, and I am spending a more peaceful and happy time. ‌ "I will humbly accept any criticism or advice you give me in the future." As per the Korea Times, Seong-hyun confirmed that he will help to parent his child, even though he "opposed the pregnancy". "Although I opposed the second pregnancy, now that the child is coming, I will do my best as a father," he told Dispatch, "Lee and I have continued to communicate for the sake of our first child and we will cooperate regarding the upbringing of both children." Following the bombshell news, fans were divided on social media, with some accusing the actress of "cornering" her ex into fatherhood. One posted: "Uh I feel like he was kinda cornered in this situation. He couldn't really refuse to raise the child because they already have one child together and do you really think they would co-parent one child and not the other???" However another replied: "It's their life and I try to feel empathy for everyone involved."
