Gen Z's latest accessory, is none other than a trusty water bottle. Recent studies have discovered that 70 percent of Generation Z habitually carry a water bottle with them whenever they step outside, with more than half regarding it as an essential 'accessory'.
While the average person owns two different drinking bottles, one in five Gen Z individuals possess four or more, allocating different ones to different settings such as the office, gym, and beside their bed.
When selecting a bottle, Gen Z prioritise pattern and design, sustainability considerations, and brand reputation, with many prepared to shell out nearly £20 for a bottle from their preferred brands.

Michael McAuley, speaking on behalf of Culligan UK – the company behind the study and a provider of drinking water solutions – commented: "If you look around when out and about, it's rare to see someone without a reusable bottle.
"The choice of water bottles is endless in terms of size and design and youngsters see it as a way of reflecting part of their personality and making their lives easier."

Aside from being considered a trendy item, other motivations for consistently carrying a water bottle include sustainability and overall health. Over half of those who set a daily water intake goal believe that having a bottle on hand.
Are you someone who refuses to leave the house without your cherished water bottle, or are you prone to be reminded to stay hydrated? Take this quiz to find out.
The average person spends £16.70 on a water bottle, with a third believing it will save them money over time as they won't have to buy water while out.
However, a quarter are concerned about the scarcity of refill stations in their area and as a result have resorted to buying something in cafés just so they can ask staff to refill their bottles.
Michael added: "If there's nowhere to refill them the purpose of carrying a bottle around to stay hydrated is ruined, and with the weather only getting warmer it's important to have water to hand."

A spokesperson for Culligan UK commented: "The research shows people are calling out for more places to top up their water bottle. Resorting to spending money on things in cafes to have theirs refilled defeats the object of saving in the long run with a reusable one.
"Youngsters seem to care about sustainability as well, suggesting why they own many bottles rather than buying plastic ones when out and about."

Wimbledon icon Anna Kournikova disappeared as reclusive life at 44 now emerges
Wimbledon icon Anna Kournikova disappeared as reclusive life at 44 now emerges Anna Kournikova became a worldwide celebrity during her tennis career before it was cut short in 2003 due to injuries, two years after she began dating pop superstar Enrique Iglesias Russian tennis star Anna Kournikova in 2001 Anna Kournikova may have endured a sad end to her tennis career due to injury but the sporting icon found solace in her family with Enrique Iglesias. Bursting onto the scene in the late 90s, the Russian's looks and celebrity status saw her become a household name that transcended the world of sports. She was only 15 years of age when she reached the third round of the US Open, before losing to eventual winner Steffi Graf. A year later, she continued to establish herself as a tennis phenom as she made it to the semi-finals of Wimbledon aged just 16. She was knocked out by future doubles team-mate Martina Hingis, who went on to win the title. Beyond tennis, Kournikova became a familiar face on magazine covers, including FHM and Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. In 2002, she was voted the world's sexiest woman, beating celebrities like Britney Spears and Jennifer Lopez.

Article continues below Kournikova also ventured into TV presenting, appearing on NBC's The Biggest Loser show as a celebrity trainer. While her future looked incredibly bright, that stunning run at the All England Club would be the furthest she'd reach at a Grand Slam before her untimely retirement in 2003 at 21 years of age due to debilitating back and spine issues. At the time of her retirement, she had been dating the Spanish artist for two years and has remained together with the Hero singer ever since. The pair share three children, twins Nicholas and Lucy, 7, and Mary, 5 and live a quiet life out of the public spotlight for the most part. They share a $26m mansion in Miami, which has 16ft-high walls as a security and privacy measure. Anna Kournikova, Enrique Iglesias and their children It was in 2017 that Kournikova, 44, gave birth to her twins as Iglesias later made a stunning revelation about the pair's sex life when talking to The Sun. "It's probably more sex now than ever," the 50-year-old confessed. "The sex has not diminished. Like any couple, you still go through your ups and downs and it's not always perfect. But it is perfect in a way. It's incredible to watch her be such a great mother. "It's incredible to watch a mum do what she does, when a mother's instinct kicks in." It was in 2011 that Kournikova recalled her decision to retire from tennis and detailed just how much pain she was forced to endure. Tennis star Anna Kournikova as she is today (Image: Anna Kournikova/ Instagram ) Speaking to People, she said: "I never planned or thought that was going to be it. My back really forced me to stop. It got so bad; I couldn't tie my shoes, literally. I would be in excruciating pain. "I had been doing six to eight hours [of training] every day since I was 5 years old. It was very interesting to me to stop playing and to figure out, 'Who am I without tennis?' It was very difficult and scary as hell." Anna Kournikova and Enrique Iglesias have been together since 2001 (Image: John Parra/WireImage ) Article continues below She paid tribute to Iglesias for the part he played around the time her tennis career came to an end as she said he "helped me figure out who I am" before revealing the different methods she had undertaken to discover who she was without tennis. "I did everything from therapy to 10-hour walks on the beach to discover, and think, and try new things," she explained. It was in January earlier this year that photos of Kournikova emerged for the first time in two years which showed her in a wheelchair outside a shopping centre in Miami with a medical boot on her foot.

Millennials look away! Return of noughties fashion leaves older generations with 'PTSD' as Gen Z revive disc belts, bandage dresses and peplum tops
Millennials who lived through fashion fads of the 2000s have claimed they're suffering from 'PTSD' as the younger generations bring back noughties trends. The generation, which was born between approximately 1981 and 1996, have long been mocked by younger peers, known as Gen Z, for their fashion trends. But, as the fashion cycle makes another 360 degree turn, some of the very same trends for which Gen Z once mocked millennials are making their way back onto the high street - much to the dismay of the generation who lived through them the first time around. Trends like gypsy skirts paired with disc belts, Ed Hardy branded merchandise and peplum tops are officially back in fashion, with influencers and celebrities of all ages embracing them. In scenes reminiscent of 2009, Molly-Mae Hague, 26, was snapped wearing a black peplum top for New Year's Eve celebrations, whereas style icons Hailey Bieber, 28, and Nadia Bartel, 40, were seen proudly donning the controversial Capri pants. Even Gen Alpha seems fascinated by chunky belts after finding out Hollywood stars such as Kim Kardashian, Hayden Panettiere and Keira Knightley wore them to film festivals in their heyday. But many millennials argue that such 2000s trends should be left in the past where they belong. 'They make me feel old in my 30s,' said one TikTok viewer about Capri pants, while another described them as 'the work of the devil'. Gen Z have worked hard to ensure that fashion doesn't have to be uncomfortable by popularising baggy jeans, white trainers and the athleisure look... but it appears they're starting to warm to Millennial-core. Chunky belts It was an essential summer accessory in the noughties, to be paired with gypsy skirts, jeans, or linen trousers - and now the chunky disc belt appears to be making a comeback. Nina Dixon, the wife of the SpudBros founder, filmed her daughter in Primark holding up a burgundy studded disc belt, which many millennials will remember wearing in their school days in the 90s and early noughties. She told her mother that she wanted to purchase the accessory for her summer holiday which shocked Nina, who wore the accessory in her teenage years. She said to her daughter: 'You do realise that when we were about 14, that's what we used to wear. We thought that we were really cool and we've bullied them ever since that and now they've made this comeback and you're saying it's nice.' Boho fashion appears to be 'chic' again after it was seen at the Chloe catwalk at Paris Fashion Week, where the AW24 collection was awash with floaty white blouses, ruffled chiffon and fringed jackets. Many youngsters are now looking at role models Kate Moss and Sienna Miller for fashion inspiration, especially at the height of festival season. Nina said: 'I can't actually believe they've actually made a comeback. Nina's video has racked up over 115,000 likes on TikTok with over a thousand comments from people commenting their shock at how fast fashion cycles are 'I feel a bit of PTSD to tell you the truth, I'm not even going to lie.' Her daughter said she wanted to buy the belt and Nina remarked: 'They might go back around when you grow up.' She captioned the video: 'They were not lying when they said fashions come back around. I need to find a photo of me in one of these.' Nina's video has racked up over 115,000 likes on TikTok with over a thousand comments from people commenting their shock at how fast fashion cycles are. One wrote: 'I used to have every colour and style when I was a teen. I can't believe they are making a come back.' Another said: 'The trauma from the disc belt,' while a third penned: 'I didn't even like mine back then.' A fourth commented: 'Oh my God, no way are they back.' Capris Though they've long been perceived as unflattering, Capris are all the rage for the summer season in 2025. In recent months, they've been all over the runways, and have been worn by A-listers such as Hailey Bieber. The bottoms (also known as pedal pushers) are longer than shorts but shorter than trousers with a hemline that typically ends at the midcalf. With social media mavens making them look so good, it comes as no surprise that Stylight - world's largest search platform for fashion, beauty and design - has seen a 56 per cent uptick in demand for Capri pants. Capris were introduced in 1948 by designer Sonja de Lennart in Munich, Germany. Style icon Audrey Hepburn popularized the classic bottoms in 1954 when she wore them in her movie 'Sabrina.' Celebrities like Marilyn Monroe, Grace Kelly and Doris Day soon followed. Today, Capris can be found in a variety of trendy silhouettes and contemporary fabrics. Svita Sobol and Pernille Teisbaek both incorporated black Capri pants into their ensembles during Paris Fashion Week. For the Elie Saab show, Svita paired her loose-fitting bottoms with a fierce crocodile blazer flaunting her generous cleavage. Pernille Teisbaek wore black Capri pants with a matching turtleneck to Hermes and added pops of burgundy with her jacket, handbag and heels In May, Hailey Bieber rocked the returning trend as she stepped out in a very sunny New York. The model, 28, flashed a glimpse of her abs in a cropped £2,200 Miu Miu navy and grey silk jacket which she paired with navy Capri pants. But while Gen Z are fully embracing the trend, millennials are once again less convinced. One person wrote on Reddit: 'Fashion trend wise, I love all the throw back fashion, but I'll not be indulging in Capri pants again. 'A comedian back in the day used to say capris were women's way of asking 'for pants that make your legs look shorter, your butt look wider and your feet look bigger'. I'll be damned if that's not how I looked in every damn pair I had.' Another said: 'Cropped pants are the work of the devil lol.' A third added: 'I hate them, but wear what you want lol.' Others said: 'IMO they are not cute. They cut most people off at the absolute worst point'; 'They are unflattering on everyone'; 'They make me feel old in my 30s the same way they make 20 somethings feel fashionable and vintage.' Peplum Peplum tops were last popular in the early 2010s and were often seen as a staple part of a night out ensemble, often paired with skinny chinos, a blazer and chunky studded high heels. The style, comprising of a piece of ruffled fabric that spans the waistline of a garment, is seemingly making a resurgence in high street stores. This is much to the dismay of millennials who are shocked that the frilly item of clothing has completed a full fashion trend cycle already. Emma Fogarty, from Dublin, came across two peplum tops in a New Look store which were selling for £21.99 each. The retailer is selling the shirt in a couple of basic colours so they can be styled easily with other clothes. Stunned, she wrote: 'You're telling me that I have lived long enough to see the revival of the peplum top. Nahhhhh.' The clip has racked up almost one million views on TikTok, as many other horrified millennials shared their thoughts on its resurgence. One wrote: 'I'm not sure how I feel about these hahaha, used to wear them religiously.' Another penned: 'Oh I hated peplum first time around and at times, it was nigh impossible to find a top and dress that wasn't in that style.' A third said: 'Omg no! I'm 30 now but I used to be obsessed with these tops back in the day hahaha.' A fourth simply commented: 'Please not again.' Molly-Mae Hague was also seen wearing a bandeau peplum top as she celebrated New Year's Eve in December. The influencer, 25, donned a black floral rose chiffon embroidered Nadine Merabi Phoebe top which retails for £265. However, she opted to style it in more of a modern way, instead opting for a pair of wide legged trousers. Styling her long blonde tresses in a neat half up do, the former Love Island star accessorised with a gold clutch and matching chunky earrings. She was snapped partying the night away with footballer Luke Shaw and his wife Anouska. The resurgence has racked up almost one million views on TikTok , as many other horrified millennials shared their thoughts on its resurgence Peplum was also seen creeping into some fashion trends in 2023. The Princess of Wales, dubbed a style icon for many, donned a tailored floral Erdem skirt-suit at the Commonwealth Day service. But the style dates back to the early days of 500BC. The term peplum derives from the word 'peplos', meaning a tunic that is tied at the waist in Ancient Greek. During the 14th century, royals and those from wealthy families saw wearing clothes with fuller pleats as a sign of being rich. During the 1940s, Christian Dior also incorporated glamorous peplum hourglass silhouettes into designs. It then made a return again 40 years later in the 80s, where it was adored by Princess Diana. Ballet pumps Much to the horror of millennials battling plantar fasciitis, ballet pumps are back on the scene. Having had their come up in the early noughties, ballet flats were a staple wardrobe item for most across the UK - and are now making a comeback in the 2020s. Back in the noughties, the ballet pump was a footwear staple, with famous faces including the late Amy Whitehouse and supermodel Kate Moss often stepping out on the light shoes to hit the town. And in 2025, the trend appears to have returned; with Hollywood elite including Katie Holmes, Frankie Bridge and G ditching their beloved heels for flat shoes with little support. Meanwhile, 2023's New York Fashion Week seemed to signal the return of the trend as the ballet pump featured via Tibi, who crafted a luxe leather version of the pump, and in Milan, Fendi showed off flats with gold bracelets around the ankle. Shortly afterwards Kate Moss was seen wearing a sleek black pair with a trench coat while in NYC. Fellow fan Alexa Chung teamed hers with a striped shirt and blue denim recently while strolling in Notting Hill. But on social media, Millennials who have lived through the first fashion cycle of ballet pumps are warning younger generations to steer clear. On X, millennial Julie S. Lalonde wrote: 'Gen Z, please heed my warning: Ballet flats are coming back in style but do not go down this road. 'They might seem cute & practical, but you will stress about going to someone's house because the smell of your feet once you take those shoes off is KILLER.' After people began to respond saying 'just wear socks', Lalonde wrote back saying: 'Sure, but that doesn't change the plantar fasciitis, bunions, dropped arches and busted knees that those flat ass shoes with-no-arch-support will give you.' One X user quipped: 'If they're going to bring back our stinky shoes, can they at least choose Ugg boots next? It's the last time it was socially acceptable to leave your house in slippers.' Another voiced their own personal experience of bunions, writing: 'When I wear ballet flats or pumps without support for a walk, even a short 30 minute walk, the bunion starts to come back.' One critic summed up the shoe with a no holds barred approach, saying: 'No socks. Slip off every minute. No grip. Often ill fitting. No rain protection in this ENGLAND? We should have left these in the past.' When Love Island star Molly Mae Hague wore a pair of ballet shoes while posing in a café last year, fans could barely contain their horror. On TikTok, videos with #balletflats now have more than 277 million posts. Millennials were left horrified at the return of the ballet flat They wrote: 'No I'm sorry but I'm not going back to this trend everrrrrr!!!'; 'Loads of girls are gonna be appearing in these ballet shoes now,' 'My knees are f***ed now due to the ballet shoe era. Don't do it gals!!'; 'Plantar fasciitis. Just remember that before you all start buying ballet shoes'; 'Yeah, this ballet shoe trend Is defo not one I will be following. I have PTSD from them, my heels still haven't recovered.' Dr Robert Khorramian, a podiatrist in Santa Monica, California, previously told Who What Wear that the lack of support in ballet flats in fact makes them the worst shoe for foot health. Plantar fasciitis causes a stabbing pain in the bottom of the foot, close to the heel, which usually gets worse with the first few steps after waking up or from standing for long periods of time. MedScape estimates one million Americans visit doctors every year for plantar fasciitis. Wearing shoes without arch support can also worsen neuromas, a type of inflammation in the foot nerves and between the bones in the feet. This is also known as 'Morton's neuroma.' According to the Mayo Clinic, patients with neuromas in the feet may feel like they're standing on a pebble. Other signs of the condition include burning pain in the ball of the foot that radiates to the toes, and tingling or numbness in your toes. Wearing ballet flats for long periods of time can also lead to injuries such as shin splints and stress fractures due to repetitive stress and little arch support. A shin splint, also known as medial tibial stress syndrome, causes pain along the tibia, or the shin bone, which runs in the front of the lower leg. Skinny jeans With a fit so tight they leave little to the imagination, skinny jeans are a style nightmare for many fashion fans. Though they've fallen out of fashion in recent years as Mom and Barrel styles have taken hold, the 2010s staple is now making a return in 2025. Not only were skinnies the star of the show on the runway during January's Paris Fashion Week, but A-listers including Taylor Swift, Meghan Markle and Claudia Winkleman are all playing their role in leading the skinny jean revolution. On TikTok, members of Gen Z have dug out the old fashion staple from deep within their closets, firmly declaring that 'skinny jeans are so back'. Once beloved by everyone from boyband One Direction to reality stars and even members of the Royal Family, skinny jeans faced little competition when they first become popular in 2005 and throughout the 2010s. In more recent years however, their unrivalled popularity has waned - compounded by people wanting a more 'slouchy' style while staying at home during the pandemic. They're now set to be the surprise dominant trend of 2025 - much to the chagrin of some who have bemoaned that the trousers are both 'ugly' and 'uncomfortable'. Speaking to MailOnline, UK personal stylist and fashion expert Lisa Talbot said: 'Skinny jeans are making a comeback in 2025, largely driven by the natural cycle of fashion trends and the influence of Gen Z rediscovering 2010s nostalgia. Skinny jeans were a staple for Claudia Winkleman while presenting the latest series of The Traitors Kate, wearing a red blazer and black skinny jeans, visits local air cadets at RAF Wittering in Cambridgeshire on February 14, 2017 On TikTok, influencers have declared that skinny jeans are 'so back' as Gen Z leads the revolution 'After years of looser, oversized silhouettes dominating the scene 'think baggy jeans and wide-leg trousers there's a shift towards a sleeker, more streamlined look. 'Fashion often reacts against what came before, so as the pendulum swings, a return to skinny jeans feels almost inevitable. Social media platforms like TikTok have played a role in reviving them, with younger style influencers embracing a mix of early 2000s and 2010s aesthetics.' Lisa pointed out that celebs appear to be leading the way, with the likes of Hailey Bieber, Kendall Jenner and Rihanna all spotted in more fitted styles in recent months - while they were a staple for Claudia Winkleman presenting the latest series of The Traitors. But the 2025 style has moved on from 2016, with Lisa noting that people are styling them in a more 'modern' way, adding oversized blazers, knee-high boots or edgy accessories. But for those preferring a more relaxed style, she had some positive news. 'As for whether they're here to stay, fashion is more fluid than ever, so while skinnies might have their moment, its likely they'll sit alongside straight-leg and relaxed cuts rather than fully replacing them,' Lisa concluded. Though skinny jeans were once a millennial favourite, it now appears to be Gen Z leading the way. On TikTok, influencers have put together trendy outfits based around the jeans, declaring 'skinny jeans are sooo back'. Although some people were thrilled and said they would wear skinnies 'always and forever', others fumed that the controversial style has made a return UK influencer Anna Maynard said: 'Skinny jeans are so back. I said what I said.' Meanwhile Juliana Halloway from the US said: 'I kept ONE pair of skinny jeans bc I knew this would happen. 'I refuse to get rid of anything that is 'out of style' because I am sure it will come back.' Posing in a pair of black skinny jeans, knee-high boots and a red jumper, she added: 'This was my Christmas Eve outfit haha.' Although some people were thrilled and said they would wear skinnies 'always and forever', others fumed that the controversial style has made a return. People wrote on social media: 'I don't have much to say about fashion apart from we must resist anyone who advocates the return of skinny jeans with the upmost force'; 'Please don't do this to me I HATE SKINNY JEANS NOW I can't stand the way they feel'; 'Never going back to skinny jeans'; 'I would rather die than wear skinny jeans again lmao, I lived that up in middle and high school'; 'And they look ugly, next'; 'It's so uncomfy though'; 'NOOOOO WE ARE NOT BRINGING THEM BACK.' Ed Hardy The colourful, gaudy designs were emblazoned upon T shirts, caps and jeans throughout the noughties - and in the 2020s too. The Ed Hardy label is making a comeback in 2025 - much to the horror of several millennials. Astrid Aschenbrenner, 35, and Sophie Förster-Vogelsberger, 32, from Vienna, Austria, revealed their shock at finding Ed Hardy merchandise on sale during a shopping trip last December. The pair came across the brand's low-cut jeans and appeared shocked as they declared on TikTok that they had 'lived through a whole fashion cycle'. The brand shot to popularity in the early noughties as trend-setting millennials adored the mixture of fashion with tattoo artistry. Fergie, Kim Kardashian, Madonna and Paris Hilton were among some of the A-listers who were seen sporting the brand in its heyday. Supermodel Bella Hadid was seen wearing a vintage Ed Hardy tank top with low rise white jeans in 2021, echoing the style of her youth. Kim Kardashian is pictured wearing Ed Hardy backstage at the Christian Audigier Fall fashion show in 2007 Astrid Aschenbrenner, 35, and Sophie Förster-Vogelsberger, 32, who are from Vienna, Austria, went shopping in December and they were horrified when they came across Ed Hardy jeans But seems its resurgence isn't welcomed by everyone. Astrid was speechless when she saw the jeans in the store, telling Newsweek she thought it was a 'prank' at first. She added: 'We were so shocked when we saw the comeback of these styles. The worst one is by far Ed Hardy, and the super low waist jeans that are designed to sit down with everything on show. 'It's reached a lot of people worldwide, and many millennials are just as shocked as us, mostly about Paul Franks and Ed Hardy coming back in style. 'Our reactions in that video were quite visceral, but it's also an ugly reminder of the body image issues we faced in the past.' Kimberly Hogg, from South Carolina, also came across Ed Hardy garments when she was shopping with her family. She said: 'Me and my sister, we were in high school around that time, anyway, we used to love Ed Hardy and wear it all the time and we got so tickled when we [saw this]. Millennials are also warning their younger peers about the return of low-rise jeans, as Gen Z fashionistas attempt to bring them back. Kimberly Hogg, from South Carolina, also came across Ed Hardy garments when she was shopping with her family Kimberly found an Ed Hardy t-shirt when she was shopping with her family that brought her back to her high school days Diesel's Milan Fashion Week showcase in February, showed models on the catwalk paraded extremely low-rise jeans as they showed off their ripped physiques - and very nearly revealed a little too much. The daring look follows several years in which high and mid-waist jeans have dominated the fashion landscape - much to the relief of millennials. But the extremely low-rise waistband dates well back to the 1990s, with Alexander McQueen debuting his daring silhouette, 'the bumster', as part of his first ever collection in 1996. They became one of McQueen's signature looks throughout his career and cemented his reputation as the 'bad boy' of the fashion industry. Bandage dresses Hailey Bieber was spotted in a bandage-style dress at the Fashion Trust U.S Award's earlier this year Singer Victoria Beckham at Marc Jacobs Spring 2008 during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week As the old saying goes, everything old can be made new again - and the latest fashion trend to enter its comeback era is the iconic bandage dress. Those who went clubbing during the noughties will be all too familiar with the figure-hugging design, which was usually paired with sky-high heels, a statement necklace and hair backcombed to the high heavens. Back then, the trend was loved by the it-girls of the moment: think Mischa Barton, Kim Kardashian and Paris Hilton. Hailey Bieber was spotted in a bandage-style dress at the Fashion Trust U.S Award's earlier this year - causing searches for the style to soar 300 per cent in just one week. The dresses are being sold by Gen Z-loved brands such as House of CB, formerly known as Celeb Boutique. 'I have not been this excited for a comeback ever,' wrote on TikTok user in House Of CB's now-viral video announcing the the return of the bandage dress. 'I am so excited for the youth,' said another. 'Every 21 year old deserves to have a reckless night out in a bandage dress,'. 'Ok I'm officially feeling old if this is fashionable again - I'm here for it, though!', said another user. Rihanna during 2007 Clive Davis Pre-GRAMMY Awards Party - Arrivals at Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills On TikTok, @alannahcassie modelled a bandage dress, announcing 'bandage dresses are so back' When Christie Vian, from London, posted 'Bandage dresses are back???!' after paying a trip into House of CB, she sparked a very mixed reaction People commented that the dresses 'went away for a reason' On TikTok, @alannahcassie modelled a bandage dress, announcing 'bandage dresses are so back. Dare I say, my best charity shop find to date?' When Christie Vian, from London, posted 'Bandage dresses are back???!' after paying a trip into House of CB, she sparked a very mixed reaction. One person said: 'I can't get behind it I'm sorry.' Others wrote: 'They're trying to make 2016 happen but it's too early. Give it 10 years at least!! This isn't how vintage and nostalgia works…'; 'I think they make the female form look immaculate but I can't shake the tacky vibes I get from them'; 'They went away for a reason!'; 'They looked great going clubbing but I don't think the younger generation does that anymore?' Elsewhere on TikTok, people said: 'They won't come back properly cause gen z don't wear heels when they go out. You can't wear a bandage dress with sneakers, doesn't work.' Another said: 'Please no!'

Tiny Roxy Jacenko, 44, shocks as she reveals she is now wearing her 13-year-old daughter Pixie's clothes after major weight loss
Roxy Jacenko is certainly not shy about flaunting her recent 18 kg weight loss. The PR maven, 44, was back at it again on Friday, with an impromptu fashion parade on her Instagram page. Roxy shared a photo and short clip that showed her modelling a figure-hugging dress that flaunted her tiny frame. The frock, from White Fox, was festooned with sequins as well as cute star embellishments. However, Roxy surprised her followers when she admitted the dress was actually purchased for her 13-year-old daughter, Pixie. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Roxy Jacenko shared a photo and short clip that showed her modelling a figure-hugging dress that flaunted her tiny frame on Friday Captioning the image, Roxy wrote: 'Came from @whitefoxboutique for @pixiecurtis but she was at school,' adding a cheeky crying laughing face emoji. Roxy, who sits on the cusp of Generation X, appears to have successfully crossed the age divide, as the dress is called the 'Gen Z Love Sequin Knit Mini Dress'. She also found time to model another form-fitting garment, this time purchased for her specifically. Roxy put on quite a busty display in a figure-hugging mini dress from Australian label Peppermayo. The periwinkle blue garment clung to Roxy's tiny frame and featured a strapless neckline and bold side cut-outs. It also boasted a metal seashell embellishment on the side. Roxy recently gave an insight into her daily ritual and 18 kg weight loss. She told Daily Mail Australia she is doing daily contrast therapy, which involves taking baths in warm and cold water from Monday to Friday. This method is believed to help improve blood circulation throughout your body. She also does 40 minutes in an infrared sauna each day before completing a 45-minute workout on the treadmill at speed six and rolling hills, as well as low-weight exercises. 'I don't do breakfast or lunch, instead I do dinner at 7pm each day which is focused on protein only and salad,' she explained. Roxy eats just one meal a day at dinner, which is focused on protein only. 'Last night I had grilled calamari, rocket, pear and Parmesan salad. If I'm desperate for something sweet, I have dark chocolate-covered sultanas.' Roxy also recently spoke about the terrifying moment she overdosed on Ozempic in an effort to lose weight. She revealed she'd taken four times the recommended dosage before she suffered from severe vomiting and non-stop shaking. She also previously said she thought she was going to 'die' after taking one milligram of the diabetic treatment, which was four times the amount prescribed to her by a doctor. 'I thought I was actually going to die. I have had cancer, radiation therapy, all of that. It doesn't even compare to how bad I felt when I took this drug,' she told The Saturday Telegraph. 'For the first 12 hours I was OK. I vomited four times that morning, once in a hire car, and I went to work.' But now she swears by a new supplement called Eimele, which she has called a 'natural Ozempic'. According to the website, Eimele provides 'plant-powered solutions' for a variety of concerns, including weight management. The brand's Calibrate Reds Max is said to help 'limit sugar and carb absorption' while simultaneously 'reducing fat storage'. The powder sachets are designed to be taken dissolved in water at the start or during the biggest meal of the day.
