Tesco's £19 black dress offers 'Nobody's Child luxury' but for less
Tesco is selling a black dress that could easily be mistaken for one from a posh high-end label. The supermarket giant's F&F clothing range has become a hit with shoppers hunting for stylish fashion, footwear and accessories that won't break the bank.
Fashion lovers who crave that luxury look without the hefty price tag will be chuffed to discover this 'expensive-looking' frock costs a mere fraction of its designer rival. Tesco 's F&F summer collection features this Strapless Midi Dress in Black for just £19.50.
At first glance, it's nearly the same as Nobody's Child's pricier £69 Black Bandeau Drop Waist Midi Dress. Both dresses come in various sizes, boast handy pockets and sport a bandeau top, elasticated waist and A-line skirt, reports Glasgow Live.
Tesco's online description reads: "Simple and stylish, this strapless dress is designed with a fitted bodice and a flowing skirt, perfect for all your summer plans. Complete with hidden side pockets for your small essentials, it's cut to a flattering midi length. Made with a ribbed finish and added stretch for a comfortable fit, the gathered waist adds a chic edge to this feminine style."
Meanwhile, Nobody's Child describes its version: "Slip into this black bandeau dress. With a ribbed top and floaty skirt, she even has pockets." The brand adds: "Just slide on sandals and go."
Whilst both options appear remarkably similar in length, silhouette, and shade, there are notable distinctions beyond the price tag. Tesco's top part of the dress is crafted from 95% polyester and 5% elastane, while the skirt comprises 87% viscose and 13% polyamide.
Nobody's Child's pricier option justifies its cost through premium materials - 97% organic cotton paired with 3% elastane. Both garments are available for purchase online, though delivery charges will apply.
Each dress can be popped in the washing machine, though tumble drying should be avoided. Tesco also stocks an ivory variant of the £19.50 Strapless Midi Dress, though it's currently unavailable online. Shoppers would be best to pop into their local F&F Tesco store for an in-person browse.
F&F enthusiasts can also eye up the retailer's Square Neck Flared Sleeved Mini Dress in Gold for £19.50, which has been causing quite the social media sensation. The dress featured on the popular Instagram account @galslovethehighstreet.
The post declared: "STUNNING - the perfect beach club/ golden hour holiday dress." The clip rapidly gained traction, racking up more than 1,100 likes and triggering a stream of admiring comments from delighted shoppers.

And he explained to loyal followers that doctors have said that his tumour is "untreatable". The music star shared the emotional post on Instagram and admitted that he is still trying to process the heartbreaking news with his family. And Keith said he felt that this was the "clearest and kindest way" to tell his fans what was going on after many reached out to see if he was ok after he missed shows. The post read: "Over the past few weeks I have received lots of enquiries about my health having missed several gigs since being admitted to the hospital. As you can imagine, I am currently trying to process this news and prioritising spending precious time with the people I love Keith McIvor "Following extensive tests I've been diagnosed with a brain tumour and I have been told my condition is untreatable. "As you can imagine, I am currently trying to process this news and prioritising spending precious time with the people I love. "I know this may be difficult news to receive through social media, and I'm sorry if it feels sudden or impersonal. "My symptoms weren't immediately diagnosed, and my health declined very quickly over just a few weeks. Chart-topping Scots DJ dies suddenly as devastated music stars pay tributes Keith went on to say that he is struggling to process everyone's messages of support and has asked people to post their messages on a board on his website. He explained that this "feels more manageable" for him, and he can see and respond to them with the help of his loved ones. He added: "I truly appreciate everyone's love and concern, it means the world to me. "I would really love to hear from you, but it is too difficult for me to reply and process your communications directly. "Please respect my privacy and space, and only contact me via the message board we have set up. I truly appreciate everyone's love and concern, it means the world to me. I would really love to hear from you, but it is too difficult for me to reply "This allows me to receive your messages in a way that feels more manageable, with the help of my loved ones, who are supporting me through this difficult time". Keith is one of two people behind Optimo Espacio - a weekly Sunday-night club in Sub Club in Glasgow. He runs the nightclub alongside music producer Jonnie Wilkes, who is known to fans as JG Wilkes. And Keith shared a touching message to everyone who supported Optimo Espacio as part of the emotional post. And he confirmed that Jonnie will continue to take the club forward as he deals with his condition. 'You inspired me like nobody else' KEITH and Jonnie first met on a bus heading to Edinburgh to Glasgow around the mid-1990s. And the pair went on to found the iconic nightclub as well as travel the world together to perform at a host of different clubs, festivals and events. After hearing Keith's devastating news, Jonnie also shared a post about his close friend's diagnosis. Writing his own emotional tribute to Keith, Jonnie said: "It is with the deepest sadness and reflection that I'm here writing to you in light of Keith's diagnosis. "It is too painful to put into words what I really feel. I don't know if I even have the words. "Keith and I have been through so much together in our 28-year partnership. We are connected in a way that perhaps only he and I can understand. "I do know however, that if you ever heard us play together then you will have realised how deep that connection is. "I love you Keith. You inspired me like nobody else could. I'm so proud of what we've done together. "I will continue Optimo Espacio with you always in my heart. The music will speak for both of us. "Your anarchic spirit and your ferocious energy is all around me". He said: "I want to thank everyone who has supported me throughout my journey in music, from the early days in Edinburgh in the '90s and through the past 28 years of Optimo Espacio. "Jonie and I have been lucky enough to play our music at countless clubs and festivals throughout the world and it has been one of the greatest honours of my life to make a career out of something I love. "We have connected with so many beautiful souls through our shared passion for music. "I want to say also that Watching Trees festivals holds a very special place in my heart. "It's a project I've loved being part of and curating, and I know the incredible WT crew will continue to help it grow into even more magical and meaningful experience. "I trust Jonnie implicitly to continue Optimo Espacio. "I know he will carry it forward with the same spirit and passion we always shared showing you, as ever, just how much 'we love your ears'."

Anne-Marie steps out with baby daughter weeks after giving birth to second child
Pop star Anne-Marie was seen out with her baby daughter as she braved a walk in the sun following the birth of her second child with husband Slowthai Anne-Marie stepped out for a solo walk with her young child as she braved the London heat. The singer, 34, welcomed her second child with Slowthai - whose real name is Tyron Kaymone Frampton - last month. They were already proud parents to daughter Seven, who was born in February 2024. Anne-Marie has now been seen with her daughter for the first time since she announced she'd given birth to her son. She stepped out for a stroll with her little girl as she pushed her along in a pushchair. The Ciao Adios hitmaker kept cool in an oversized white T-shirt and a pair of baggy shorts. Anne-Marie kept her blonde locks tied up and made sure to adjust the fan on the pushchair as the mum and daughter dealt with the heat. Just last month, the pop star announced the birth of her second child. She had regularly updated fans along the pregnancy journey and announced the happy news of her new arrival on Instagram. The singer posted a string of photos – including adorable snaps of her newborn tot and her in labour – on her page. Anne-Marie: "Another beautiful little thing has entered our lives," followed by a trio of red heart emojis before she added: "hello everyone" and ended the post with three sunshine emojis. She had previously revealed the gender of their new baby on Capital Breakfast. As Anne-Marie sat down with Jordan North, Chris Stark and Sian Welby in April, she was asked if she knew what she was having. An excited Sian asked: "Can you tell us?" Anne-Marie then answered: "Yeah, it's a boy!" "That's so exciting!" Chris said as Anne-Marie admitted she's having one of each and "then I'm done." The Rockabye singer revealed in February this year that she was expecting her second child - with the news being announced one year after she had welcomed a daughter named Seven. She had posted a clip of her cradling her baby bump while miming and dancing to her song Don't Panic. Alongside the clip of herself, she teased to fans in the caption: "Surprise." Anne-Marie, who toured last year following Seven's arrival, had previously described working with a newborn as "the hardest thing". She told fans in August last year: "It is definitely the hardest thing working and being a mumma. I mean, it's the hardest thing JUST being a mumma without the working part!" She also teased how "so many people" have "made it look so easy," before adding: "But here we are, peas in a pod. We're doing it." Anne-Marie then described her months-old daughter as "so beautiful, "so chunky" and "so perfect". Before giving birth to her boy, Anne-Marie opened up on the "hardest" year. In December, she reflected on 2024 as she looked back on the turbulent past 12 months. She wrote: "2024 the most beautiful yet hardest year of our lives. God really tryina see how strong I am hahaha. I miss you all and I love you all more than you'll ever know. "I have SO MUCH for you in the new year that you'll probably be sick of me (please don't be) have the best break if you can and see you soon."

Celtic & Hibs Shine in Streaming Era Study of UK's Most Influential Football Songs
New research from BoyleSports ranks Scotland's top anthems in digital culture league table. Whether being sung in the stands of Celtic Park or bellowing on exit from Easter Road following a crucial win, Scottish football songs are holding their own in a digital culture dominated by YouTube, Spotify, and Instagram. Image: Celtic Park | Credit: Getty This study from the football betting team at BoyleSports assessed 16 of the UK's most iconic football songs. To measure the cultural impact of these football club anthems, data from three key digital platforms: YouTube (total views), Spotify (total streams), and Instagram (the number of times the anthem's sound was used in posts or stories) was gathered. Each anthem was ranked from 1 to 16 on each platform, with 16 representing the top-performing anthem. These rankings were then added together to give each anthem a combined score out of 48, so a higher total meant the anthem was performing well across all platforms. To make the results easier to understand and compare, these totals were then converted into a standardised score out of 100 by calculating what percentage of the maximum possible score each anthem achieved. Topping the list with a perfect score was 'You'll Never Walk Alone,' the iconic Rodgers and Hammerstein number embraced by both Liverpool and Celtic. With over 87 million YouTube views and 114 million Spotify streams, it remains a defining piece of both clubs' identity and proves its enduring emotional power far beyond matchday. Another standout came from Edinburgh, with Hibernian's beloved anthem 'Sunshine On Leith' finishing joint sixth overall. The Proclaimers' classic continues to spark viral moments thanks to its spine-tingling renditions at Easter Road – and its influence has now crossed into digital culture, backed by strong Instagram and Spotify numbers. Meanwhile, Rangers' 'Follow Follow' placed mid-table in terms of overall digital presence. Despite its traditional status and recognisable tune among fans, the track finished joint 13th, showing less traction across global streaming platforms compared to newer or more widely shared songs. Heart of Midlothian's entry, 'The Heart's Song,' placed 16th overall – a reminder that while tradition remains powerful locally, it hasn't yet translated into a wider digital presence like other UK anthems. A spokesperson for BoyleSports, who conducted the study, said: 'Football songs are more than just pre-match rituals – they've become cultural landmarks in the digital age. 'Songs like 'You'll Never Walk Alone' and 'Sunshine On Leith' continue to capture hearts and reach new generations through streaming and social media. 'These tracks aren't just sung in stadiums anymore – they're reimagined in Instagram stories, TikToks and Spotify playlists around the world.' Full rankings: Rank Anthem (Club) Overall Score (/100) 1 You'll Never Walk Alone (Liverpool & Celtic) 100 2 Local Hero (Newcastle United) 83 3 Dance Of The Knights/Elevation (Sunderland) 73 4 The Angel – North London Forever (Arsenal) 71 5 Glory Glory Man United (Manchester United) 69 6= Sunshine On Leith (Hibernian) 63 6= Mull Of Kintyre (Nottingham Forest) 63 8 Blue Is The Colour (Chelsea) 60 9 Palladio (Fulham) 56 10 I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles (West Ham) 52 11 Marching On Together (Leeds United) 42 12 Hi Ho Silver Lining (Wolves & Aston Villa) 40 13= Blue Moon (Man City) 25 13= Follow Follow (Rangers) 25 15 Z-Cars (Everton) 21 16 The Heart's Song (Heart of Midlothian) 8 Like this: Like Related
