Next's €39 'gorgeous' summer dress looks just like €2,250 Dolce & Gabbana staple
The Pink/Orange Midi Slip Summer Dress is a steal for just €39, with its stunning colourful print and flattering shape making it an ideal choice for those warm weather days.
The dress also evokes comparisons with Dolce and Gabbana's Printed Cotton Midi Dress, which comes with a hefty price tag of €2,250, featuring a vibrant 'La Dolce Vita' style pattern.
While the silhouettes differ, both dresses boast a whimsical design and bright shades that epitomise the summer vibe, making it clear why the Next iteration is flying off the shelves for a mere 1% of the designer D&G price.
Customer feedback on the Pink/Orange Midi Slip Summer Dress is overwhelmingly positive; with one shopper commenting: "Perfect sizing. Easy to wear and looks fab even though I am a 16. Washes well. Great price."
Another satisfied customer chimed in saying: "Gorgeous dress for holidays comfy to wear and very flattering i bought 3 all different patterns love them all easily dressed up for evening I must add they are on the smallest size so I would size up."
While some did encounter issues with the fit, noting: "Too small, even when I sized up."
Even so, plenty of other customers expressed their adoration for the garment, stating: "Lovely summer dress for my forthcoming holiday. The material is soft and skims over my body and the colours are gorgeous."
Another shopper commented: "This is a lovely dress... although I wanted to wear it in the day with my swimwear I think I would want to dress it up for night too."
The Pink/Orange Midi Slip Summer Dress caters to a range of sizes from 6 to 26, available in both petite and regular lengths as well as a tall fit option spanning sizes 10 to 20. Its appealing midi-length cut is partnered with adjustable straps to provide an impeccable fit.
With a sleek slip-style design, this summer staple promises airy comfort during holidays, avoiding the dreaded sticky feeling when temperatures rise, reports the Mirror.
Added comfort comes with a side slit ensuring an easy-breezy walk about.

D-Block Europe review: Hip-hop act turns Marquee into Cork club night
It was a semblance of a club night at Live at the Marquee on Tuesday as thousands descended onto the Marina to welcome one half of D-Block Europe to the Cork City stage. What is the only hip-hop act of a long line of big top acts, Young Adz performed some of the London-based duo's top hit singles without Dirtbike LB. Their song Prada was also nominated for a Brit award for Song of the Year last year. D-Block Europe or DBE have been around since 2010, after signing a deal with New York rapper Jadakiss. They have slowly been growing in prominence with a younger crowd. D-Block Europe delight fans at Live at the Marquee on Tuesday night. Picture Chani Anderson. D-Block Europe have since raked in some 5bn streams across various global platforms and are known for creating catchy tunes using Autotune and trap beats about sex, drug dealing, and owning luxury items. Their Live at the Marquee concert is the latest in their tour, which has seen a surprise sell-out of both nights. A trove of young teenagers dominated the audience as they snaked their way into the blue and yellow tent under pouring rain and floods. Neon coloured dresses of pink and orange exploded at the venue; knee high boots and tan limbs were exposed as sweaty bodies jumped up and down under the tent. Young lads in tracksuits and hats of various colours eagerly made their way to find the best spot in the standing area, ready to launch themselves into one of the many mosh pits that would maybe open. Concert goers make a dash for the tent during a torrential downpour before the D-Block Europe gig at Live at the Marquee on Tuesday night. Picture: Chani Anderson Special guest Kairo Keyz opened for the duo. He was well-liked by the crowd as the deep bass from his tunes hyped and readied the audience for the big act. Screens of Snapchat recording stuck out across the pit as the DJ for the night hyped the crowd ahead of DBE's set. Young Adz arrived on stage shortly after 9.30pm and performed to the crowd with magnetic energy who were ready to party. Strobe lights of white, blue, and green dancing in the air as the deep bass of their songs echoes across the tent. "You alright, Cork?", Young Adz said after performing their opening tune Darling as he apologised to say that DBE's other half, Dirtbike LB, was not here. This was very similar to their last Irish performance where Young Adz was visibly absent from Longitude's main stage last year.

Powering through most of the set list, Young Adz gave it his all to get the crowd into a momentum, while blaring some familiar favourites including Prada, Ferrari Horses, and Pakistan. DBE will return for a second night at the Marquee on Wednesday with the question of whether it will once again be a one man show or a duo. Kingfishr will then return for another sold-out night on Thursday. Summer gigs at the big top will then conclude this weekend with three nights of Michael McIntyre and his new show MACNIFICENT!

McKaela added: "As Papa would say, love you all the mostest." Tributes have poured into his Story Time with Papa Jake TikTok account.

Born in 1922, in Owatonna, Minnesota, Larson enlisted in the National Guard in 1938. The war hero had lied about his age as he was just 15 years old at the time. In 1942, he was sent overseas and was stationed in Northern Ireland before becoming operations sergeant and assembling the planning books for the invasion of Normandy.

And since gaining social media popularity too, Papa Jake was greeted by people asking for a selfie - but offered big hugs instead. One memorable encounter came in 2023, when he came across Bill Gladden, a then-99-year-old British veteran who survived a glider landing on D-Day and a bullet that tore through his ankle. He told Gladden as they held hands: "I want to give you a hug, thank you. I got tears in my eyes. We were meant to meet." Advertisement Gladden passed away the following year. In his TikTok posts that have accumulated hundreds of thousands of views and likes, Larson combined humorous anecdotes with somber reminders about the horrors of war. Speaking of his social media fame in 2023, he said: "I'm just a country boy. Now I'm a star on TikTok. I'm a legend! I didn't plan this, it came about." Larson has previously refused to call himself a "hero" and asked world leaders to "make peace not war".
