Frankie Bridge fans 'obsessed' with sell-out suit that's back in new colour
Style icon Frankie Bridge has served up some seriously swoon-worthy looks in her recent 'Faves Edit'. And one of the outfits was a co-ord set from PrettyLittleThing that had fans 'obsessed', with some saying it's one of her 'best looks yet'.
The former The Saturdays singer each week shares a series of outfits on Instagram and in her Faves Edit newsletter to give style inspiration to her followers. This week, her video featured looks for shoppers to treat themselves to come payday - the PrettyLittleThing set included.
Consisting of a Woven Collarless Oversized Shoulder Pad Waistcoat, £34, and Woven Extreme Wide Leg Pleated Mid Rise Wide Leg Trousers, £28, the pair comes in three different colours: sage khaki (green - Frankie's choice), butter yellow and a light neutral Clay tone.
Her inclusion of this suit comes after the brand's popular chocolate brown hue supposedly 'sold out'. Frankie mused: " This suit has sold out every time in brown, so they've brought out a new colour."
While she said that on the website it looks more of a beige hue, she confirmed in her video showcasing the duo that is was 'definitely green'.

Product Description
Made from a mix of 75% Polyester, 20% Viscose and 5% Elastane, the suit is a great option for events like weddings, christenings and dinners occurring in the summer months thanks to its relatively lightweight make-up. With dramatic shoulders, a collarless neckline - great for showing off necklaces - and sleeveless finish, the waistcoat has a relaxed fit and hidden popper fastening for a seamless look.
It's a unique take on the more traditional waistcoats, which often feature button fastenings on the outside - for example, the £25 M&S Collection Tailored Waistcoat has four buttons on the front to fasten its tailored fit, while New Look's Green Soft Touch Striped Crew Neck Waistcoat, £22.99, has more of a longline shape fastened from its crew neckline to its hip-length hem. A fun design, this waistcoat comes with a defined striped vertical pattern and fitted darts.
The PLT waistcoat is complimented nicely by the brand's Extreme Wide Leg Pleated Mid Rise Wide Leg Trousers. With 'exaggerated pleats and flowing legs' they are flattering on all shapes and sizes. The set is still available in sizes four to 16.
Fans and followers of Frankie Bridge on Instagram flooded her comments section to praise the ensemble - which was made up of some statement earrings, a burgundy bag and burgundy sandal heels.
"OMG some of the best looks yet," said one keen fashion fan, while another raved: "Ohhh that sage green co-ord is a piece of me."
"Needs the links for them all and your fav green co ord same," added another.
Although for some people, these looks proved to be a little too 'big' on the singer, with one Instagram comment reading: "Everything looks so big", regarding the oversized fit. They added: "I prefer the more fitted, tailored outfits."

Iconic 90s talk show host looks unrecognizable in rare snaps as she enjoys retirement
Fans of '90s talk shows were delighted to see one of the most iconic hosts of the era living her absolute best life in new snaps posted to Instagram. The daytime legend, who made history in 1983 as the first woman to host an audience-participation, issue-driven talk show, looked radiant as she cruised on a stunning boat and slurped oysters in New England. Now 90 years old and clearly embracing retirement to the fullest, the TV trailblazer showed off her legendary bawdy sense of humor by captioning the one pic, 'In New England enjoying some oysters… aren't these supposed to be an aphrodisiac?!' She's not slowing down either — the Pennsylvania native and Columbia grad recently jetted off to Paris for a girls' trip to celebrate her big birthday. In 1989, she even took home the Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Talk Show Host, holding her own in the ratings alongside heavyweights like Oprah, Maury, and Jerry Springer — and becoming a style icon in the process, thanks to her signature red frames. So who is this legendary queen of daytime? If you guessed Sally Jessy Raphael… you're absolutely right! The host of The Sally Jessy Raphael Show — later shortened to Sally — has been documenting her fabulous post-career life on social media, also recently sharing a serene snap of herself lounging at the edge of a tranquil lake. 'Hope you're all enjoying your summer as much as I am #dock #summer #sjr #redglasses,' she captioned the peaceful shot. Just days earlier, she posted a pic from a marina, relaxing by the water. Sprinkled throughout her Instagram feed are vintage throwback clips from her iconic talk show, reminding fans exactly why she became a daytime legend. Toward the end of her run on daytime TV, competition for ratings heated up — particularly against the likes of Maury Povich and Jerry Springer. As a result, her show began to lean into more sensational territory, including on-air paternity test reveals and tabloid-style topics. 'The last years of doing those Maury Povich/Jerry Springer shows? I hated them,' Raphael admitted during a 2016 episode of Oprah: Where Are They Now? 'I was betrayed by some of the producers into doing that. Come to think of it, I should have fought harder for what I knew what right — what I knew that I didn't want to do,' she told Winfrey. Sally was officially canceled in 2002, but the TV icon didn't disappear. From 2005 to 2008, she hosted The Sally Jessy Raphael Radio Show on Talknet. In 2014, she returned to the screen with the Logo series Sally Jessy Rides, and in 2024, she made a surprise cameo on the animated comedy Everybody Still Hates Chris. Sally was first married to Andrew Vladimir, with whom she had two daughters; tragically, their daughter Allison died at age 33 from an accidental overdose. In 1963, she married Karl Soderlund, who became her manager, and together they raised one adopted son and three foster children, remaining married for 57 years until his passing in 2020. .

Wynne Evans accuses Strictly Come Dancing of ‘fundamentally flawed' duty of care
The tenor, 53, known for the insurance advertisements, competed in the 20th anniversary series of the hit dancing programme with professional dancer Katya Jones. In May, Evans announced he had been dropped by the BBC and would no longer present on BBC Radio Wales after apologising for using 'inappropriate language' during the launch of the Strictly tour. A post shared by Wynne Evans (@wynneevans) The apology came after the Mail On Sunday reported in January he had aimed a sexual joke at one of the other professional dancers, Janette Manrara. In an Instagram post with a photo of the Strictly professionals, Evans said: 'What it Feels Like to See Pictures of Strictly? 'I'll be the first to admit I've made mistakes. Not quite the way the Daily Mail would have you believe, but mistakes all the same.' Evans accused the BBC of engaging in a series of 'lies and cover‑ups in order to absolve themselves of any wrongdoing' and said this was the 'hardest part' for him. He added: 'From my dealings right at the very top with (BBC director-general) Tim Davie, through BBC Wales and the HR department, one feeling has been constant: the only thing they truly care about is protecting themselves and their jobs and Ratings – people come second. 'When I first stepped into the rehearsal room at Strictly, I thought it would be a magical experience. And at the start, it was. But the very first thing I was told was: 'Don't trust anyone in this room — not even me.' 'That hit me hard. I've always worn my heart on my sleeve, and while I may sometimes sail close to the line, there's never malice in what I do. 'What I wasn't prepared for was the way people will protect their personal and BBC brands, at any cost.' Evans claimed in his post that the HR department 'twisted facts, invented files and dates, and created a version of events that simply wasn't true'. 'Statements were issued in my name that I hadn't even seen, let alone agreed to. My voice was taken away,' he said. Evans previously said he had never approved of the statement that was issued by the BBC in January in which he apologised for making an 'inappropriate and unacceptable' comment. At the time, a BBC spokesperson said: 'The apology issued on Wynne's behalf by the Strictly Come Dancing Tour PR representative on Saturday January 25 was fully approved by Wynne.' Evans also said in his post on Tuesday: 'Tim Davie publicly promised that the BBC would safeguard people who took part in Strictly. 'I thought about that promise while sitting in a psychiatrist's office near the BBC, staring out of the window at the BBC building, fighting to save my own life. That's how close I came to the edge. 'I'm not writing this as a victim, as I said I will own my mistakes. I'm writing it because the system is broken. Strictly is now fundamentally flawed in its duty of care. It's allowed to continue because of ratings, while people's wellbeing is left in tatters.' A post shared by BBC Strictly (@bbcstrictly) The BBC published a review in 2024 that looked into allegations of bullying and harassment against former Strictly dancer Giovanni Pernice, made by his former dance partner Amanda Abbington. The corporation upheld some but not all of the complaints made and introduced a series of new measures aimed at improving welfare. This included the introduction of a chaperone who is present 'at all times' during training room rehearsals. Evans performed in the 25th anniversary of The Phantom Of The Opera and won 2023's Celebrity MasterChef. In May, he told the Sun that the comment he made on the Strictly Come Dancing tour was not sexual or directed at one of the female cast, but instead was a nickname for fellow contestant, EastEnders actor Jamie Borthwick. In June, the opera singer announced his return to radio with The Wynne Evans Show, a live weekday internet broadcast. The BBC declined to comment on Evans' social media post.
