Perfect summer dress that can be worn to weddings or on holiday at Marks and Spencer

With spring upon us, many of us will have a host of special events marked in our calendars. Whether you're off to a wedding or jetting away on holiday, you'll likely need a new dress or two - and Marks and Spencer has just the thing.
The high street giant has recently revealed the second half of its spring collection, offering a plethora of options. One dress that has might pique your interest, however, is this £79 Lyocell Rich Polka Dot Sweetheart Neckline Maxi Waisted Dress.
It's crafted in a regular fit, with a flattering dropped waist and a comfortable lining.
The Bardot neckline and ruching on the bodice create an elegant silhouette without being overly stiff.
Shoppers can snag the dress in petite, regular and tall lengths in sizes six to 24, reports the Manchester Evening News.
The dress cascades to a flattering and versatile midi length.
These types of dresses are often deemed more comfortable than maxi lengths, allowing for easier movement, and they can be styled for both casual and more formal occasions.
While the Lyocell Rich Polka Dot Sweetheart Neckline Maxi Waisted Dress doesn't have any reviews on M&S yet, it's bound to be a huge hit.
However, one thing to bear in mind is that Marks and Spencer notes that it's a dry clean only item.
If you're searching for a polka dot dress with more coverage on the arms and décolletage, why not consider Nobody's Child's Black Polka Dot Anya Midi Dress?
It's priced at £150 but new customers can enjoy a 15% discount with the code HELLO15 applied at checkout, reducing the price to £132.50.
River Island's Cream Asymmetric Polka Dot Wrap Midi Dress is another affordable option.
Priced at £46, it's available in sizes XS to XL although it's selling out quite fast.

I've Seen This Chic Top All Over The Internet – And It's Surprisingly Affordable

When it comes to summer dressing, whether the forecast calls for a heatwave or one of those muggy rainy days, the only staple I find myself relying on is linen. Lightweight and inherently polished, the best linen pieces are the easiest answer to any warm-weather sartorial dilemmas. Headed on a beach holiday? You'll need a chic linen dress. Commuting to work? Neutral linen trousers or a boxy linen shirt will do the trick. But when rounding out your linen essentials for the summer, a dressy linen top is just as important. You know the kind: effortless, elegant, and most notably, wearable. Now there's a thousand great linen tops you could pick from, but only a few that are versatile enough to see you through every kind of summer plan without costing a fortune. This is where Arket's Linen Wrap Top enters the fray. ©Instagram/@julialundinblog Made from light and breezy 100% linen, the sleeveless top features a V-neck and a delicate tie-strap belt. With the wraparound silhouette offering a fit that's as relaxed or cinched as you prefer, the flattering top is perfect for slipping into, whether you're headed to the office or out on the weekend. Arket, Linen Wrap Top in Beige This neutral top will fit seamlessly into your summer outfit rotation – whether you style it with the matching wrap skirt or with wide-leg jeans. Lately, we've spotted the simple undyed beige iteration on a few stylish influencers, but it's also available in classic black. Wear yours with trousers and ballet flats to work, or style with baggy jeans for off-duty flair (we're loving Uniqlo's baggy curved jeans at the moment). Thanks to its minimalist sophistication, the top will also pair incredibly well with a skirt and kitten heels – perfect for dinner dates and garden parties. While linen is a warm-weather staple, Arket's wrap top will also fare you well come autumn, simply styled under an oversized blazer with woollen trousers. ©Instagram/@ Arket has been acing the summer dressing brief this year, from its oversized shirt dress to the sleek linen skirt that's been the hardest worker in my office wardrobe this year. This wrap top, that's already become an internet favourite, is no different. And for £57, it might exactly be the payday treat you've been looking for. Arket, Linen Wrap Top in Black Inherently dressier, the black style is perfectly transseasonal and will layer well under lightweight cardigans and jackets alike. Massimo Dutti, Linen Crossover Waistcoat Remarkably similar to the Arket top, Massimo Dutti's waistcoat is lined with cotton and comes with matching darted trousersas well. The perfect summer tailoring, in our opinion. H&M, Linen-Blend Dressing Gown Technically a dressing gown, H&M's linen-blend style can be worn as a top over trousers and skirts for a relaxed look. Phase Eight, Vienna Linen Wrap Blouse If you're after a vibrant printed take, consider Phase Eight's leaf-print wrap blouse. Ideal for adding a pop of colour to your black trousers and loafers combo at the office. Main image credits: ©Instagram/@ Hitanshi Kamdar is a senior commerce writer for Grazia.

ITV announce major new reality show The Heat with Olivia Attwood confirmed as host

The Heat will follow a group of 10 young chefs as they take on the hottest job of their lives, working under the intensity of multi-Michelin Star award-winning chef Jean-Christophe Novelli Olivia Attwood is set to sizzle on screens in a 'spicy' new reality show for ITV, expressing her excitement by saying it's an "honour". ‌ ITV has unveiled an enticing new reality series, The Heat, which will see a group of aspiring young chefs tackle the most intense job of their careers. ‌ The programme will be hosted by Olivia, with 10 chefs heading to Barcelona to work under the tutelage of multi-Michelin Starred chef Jean-Christophe Novelli at his exclusive summer eatery in the swanky Port Vell Marina, as he searches for the next culinary sensation. ‌ But there's a twist – the drama doesn't end when the kitchen closes. The cameras will continue to roll, capturing all the behind-the-scenes action. ITV promises viewers a glimpse into the contestants' post-shift dates and staff nights out, promising a mix of professional challenges and personal drama that will see tempers flare both in and out of the kitchen, reports the Manchester Evening News. ‌ Olivia shared her enthusiasm about her presenting gig, stating, "It is such an honour to host this brand-new format for ITV2 and ITVX, being at the helm of something this fresh and exciting is a total pinch-me moment!". Chef Jean-Christophe is equally excited, commenting, "I couldn't be more thrilled to join this new exciting show and help spotlight the next generation of culinary talent. Known for my drive and intensity in the kitchen, I'll be using my passion and unique teaching style to push these young chefs to dig deep, stay sharp, and prove they have what it takes to grow, evolve, and make their mark. "I'll mentor them to use all five senses together and put it all on the plate, the right way. It's going to be a wild ride, and I know we'll discover some true culinary stars along the way. I'm ready. Let's do this. Allez, Allez – bon appétit!". ‌ As she made her second appearance on This Morning, Olivia was announced as part of the summer presenter line-up, stepping in while Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard are away. Standing with Dermot O'Leary, Olivia quipped: "Couldn't stay away! Thank you guys, not as much commotion as the first show" prompting Dermot to chime in with: "It's only her second show, how is that supposed to motivate her?" in reference to the studio's reaction. ‌ The ex-Love Island contestant then remarked: "I didn't get sacked, they wanted me back. The kitten heels are back!". After facing undue criticism for her initial appearance on This Morning, Olivia stated: "Those who know me understand the hard work I've put in to get where I am today." She expressed gratitude towards Love Island for kickstarting her career but also conveyed her eagerness to demonstrate her capabilities beyond the reality show, saying: "I'm forever grateful to Love Island for being the springboard to my career, but I'm excited to show there's so much more to me beyond the villa." Olivia concluded by acknowledging her journey, "It's been a lot of hard work, but I've always stayed focused on my goals and believed in myself and I'm very thankful for ITV in believing me." The Heat is coming to ITV2 and ITVX in 2026

Now that the school summer holidays are in full swing, many parents will be frantically packing for family holidays abroad. And what better way to get yourself excited for a well-earned break than by treating yourself to a new wardrobe. Tesco's F&F is one of the best-loved brands on the high street, and is constantly wowing us with its stylish but affordable fashion. From cute dresses to on-trend work attire, the supermarket fast-fashion range always hits the mark, and its new summer collection is no exception. Slashed by 50% One dress is particular that has caught the eye of fashion fans, is the F&F Edit Embroidered Mini Dress in Ivory which has been slashed from £27.50 to £13.50, a saving of 50%. The flowing frock has long floaty sleeves, to cover up your arms and keep you cool on hot days. It also has a billowing skirt that hides tummies, and a flattering v-neckline. Pair the dress with sandals and a floppy hat for a summer holiday look, or wear it with tights when the weather gets colder. Tesco said of the versatile gown: "Update your summer styles with this cotton rich mini dress. Cut to an above-the-knee length, it's designed with intricate embroidery along the scalloped V neckline and on the back. "The tiered skirt and cut out details add a pretty edge to this summery style. "Team with slip on sandals or cowboy boots, and add a denim jacket when temperatures drop." I'm 5ft3 & a size 12-14 - my 7 Tesco dresses are an absolute bargain & perfect for a last-minute wedding guest outfit The dress is available in wide range of sizes, from size 6 to size 22. However, it has proved so popular with customers, that is has already sold out in some sizes. More Tesco dresses Another dress that has caught the eye of fashion fans is the F&F Leopard Print Midi Dress in Multi Brown, which has been slashed from £22.50 to £11, saving of almost 50%. The statement frock features puff sleeves, for a flattering look around the arms, and has a slit up the hem, for a feminine touch How has Tesco's F&F upped its game By Fabulous' Fashion Editor Clemmie Fieldsend ZARA has become a high street staple in recent years thanks to its hot-off-the-catwalk designs and affordable prices. But recently those prices have risen with the brand's popularity. However, if you are looking for high fashion inspired outfits with low price tags you needn't drag yourself to your local shops, just head to the supermarket instead. F&F has come a long way from selling a few backs of T-shirts and fluffy dressing gowns and is now a must have shopping destination for thousands. They produce good quality, long lasting and on trend clothes that puts others to shame. F&F is filled with Zara dupes and other looks inspired by our favourite shops that will set you back less than £50 - and you can get them while you pick up your dinner. I for one love F&F denim, it's durable, fits really well and has all the best silhouettes. So even if you're not looking for reasonable prices but just want good clothes, get yourself to Tesco. The leopard print gown would look perfect paired with sandals for a summer look, and can easily be transitioned into your winter wardrobe if paired with boots. Shoppers are also loving the F&F Edit Palm Print Bardot Midi Dress in Multi Red, which has been slashed from £25 to just £12. The stylish frock features an exotic tropical pattern and a belt that will help to hide your tummy. The long-sleeves and elasticated neckline provide a flattering and comfortable look, which can be dressed up with heels, or dressed down with sandals. The simple dress c
