GAP teams up with Meghan Markle-loved brand for luxe-for-less range from £35
GAP has just launched its second collaboration with DÔEN, the chic California brand loved by Meghan Markle, and it's as floaty, floral and feminine as we'd hoped it be.
Known for its vintage-inspired silhouettes and romantic prints, DÔEN has long been a favourite among celebs and fashion lovers, but its price tags are definitely on the pricier side. That's why this luxe-for-less collab is right up our street.
The collection combines DÔEN's signature elegant boho style with GAP's high quality wardrobe basics to create the perfect spring/summer capsule wardrobe. Expect ditsy floral dresses, spring-perfect gingham prints, classic denim, and pointelle knits.
Whether you're adding to your summer wardrobe or just want to channel some Meghan Markle-approved style without breaking the bank, we've rounded up a few of our favourite pieces from the collab.
Blue DÔEN Floral Maxi Dress
Available for £120 here
Florals for spring? Groundbreaking. No but seriously, you really can't go wrong with having a floral dress in your spring/summer wardrobe, and this maxi ticks all the boxes. The square neck and elasticated waist really help to accentuate your figure, and being 100% cotton ensures this dress will keep you breezy and cool all summer long.
Black DÔEN Eyelet Sleeveless Top
Available for £60 here
One of favourites in the collection is this sleeveless eyelet top. It has that boho chic feel that's right on trend for this year, and is one of those versatile pieces you could make work for any occasion. Team with jeans to make it feel more casual or pair with a white maxi skirt for the ultimate bohemian, relaxed vibe.
Blue DÔEN Denim Sailor Mini Dress
Available for £80 here
GAP's denim is some of the best, so it's no surprise to see a few denim pieces in the collection. We love that they've strayed away from classic jeans adn shorts, and opted for items like this sailor mini dress. The shift silhouette is trending right now, and we love how the collar elevates the piece from being just a simple mini dress.
Navy/Blue DÔEN 100% Linen Gingham Maxi Dress
Available for £180 here
Gingham is always in for spring, and as it should be. It's a timeless fabric that will literally never go out style. And the best part about this dress? It's 100% linen meaning it has natural breathability, as well as moisture-wickening properties so you'll stay cool and dry all summer long. If you're looking for the ultimate office dress that can transition into post-work plans, this is it.
Cream DÔEN Linen-Blend Pointelle Cardigan
Available for £65 here
A thin-knit cardigan really is a life saver in the UK summertime. You never know when the weather could change and we love how cute this pointelle linen-blend cardi looks. Layer over a mini dress when the temperature drops on those British summer evenings.
White DÔEN Eyelet Maxi Dress
Available for £165 here
With it's cinched waist, all over eyelet detailing and fit and flare silhouette, this dress is the ultimate summer dress. It's chic, feminine and has that vintage-feel that DÔEN's dresses nail so well.
And if the white isn't your colour, don't worry, as it's also available in a classic black. Team with strappy gladiator sandals and a trendy basket bag for a picnic day out with the girls.
A few other summer buys we've been enjoying recently include the Adalia White Cotton Blouse from Finery. If you've been looking for a blouse that feels polished but still lets you breathe, this crisp white top is the perfect combination of stylish and practical.
While New Look's Linen-Look Shirred Waist Midi Shirt Dress is under £40 and has shoppers singing its praises for its adaptability, noting you could wear it to the office in the summer or pair it with pumps at the weekend.

Dad slams school as ‘woke' after they asked him ‘not to wear gorilla costume or horse mask to pick daughter up'
The farmer claimed he was 'just trying to have a bit of a laugh' MONKEY BUSINESS Dad slams school as 'woke' after they asked him 'not to wear gorilla costume or horse mask to pick daughter up' Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A DAD has slammed his child's "woke" school after they banned him from wearing a gorilla costume. Chris Napthine dressed up to collect his seven-year-old daughter Addie on her last day of term as a "bit of fun". Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 5 Chris Napthine wore the costume for a bit of fun while picking up his daughter Addie Credit: SWNS 5 The dad-of-two slammed the school for being "woke" Credit: SWNS 5 Hertford Vale C Of E Primary School claimed it was a safeguarding issue Credit: SWNS He pulled up to Hertford Vale C Of E Primary School, in North Yorks., in the gorilla costume - after previously donning a horse's head mask. But the 47-year-old was told it posed "a serious safeguarding concern" and was asked not to wear it again via a "snotty" message. The dad-of-two, a self-employed horse dentist and farmer, said: "It's a little village school and I live just opposite it. "I went there, my son went there and now my little girl does. "I was just trying to embarrass her. She's always saying, 'Dad, please don't embarrass me'. "The other day I put a horse's head on, so on the last day of school I put on a gorilla outfit. "Then, I got this snotty text off the school, saying it's a 'serious safeguarding issue'." The text, shared by Chris, read: "Please do not come into school in a costume or mask. "This is a serious safeguarding issue. It has also upset some of the children & caused concern for adults." But Chris slammed the school for being "woke" and claimed he was "just trying to have a bit of a laugh". He added: "How is that a safeguarding issue? Where is it going to end? Are the kids not going to be allowed to dress up? "I really didn't like the way they worded it. "I was just trying to have a bit of a laugh, but the school have taken it dead serious. "I messaged them back, but they didn't reply. "I just thought it was ridiculous. Safeguarding is about the safety of the kids. "A dad in a gorilla outfit is not a safeguarding issue - let alone a 'serious' one. "It's taking the p**s. I've had lots of messages of support, saying: 'What on Earth is this country coming to? A kid can identify as a cat but a dad can't dress up as a gorilla'. "That's what dads do: embarrass their daughters. I'm always playing jokes and messing about. "It's just a bit woke." The school has been contacted for comment. This comes after another dad hit out when his daughter was banned from a school's cultural diversity day — for wearing a Union Jack dress. Heartbroken pupil Courtney Wright, 12, was told: 'You get to celebrate being British every day, this is for everybody else.' The Year 7 pupil teamed her dress — similar to the one worn by Spice Girl Geri Halliwell in the 1990s, below — with a matching bowler hat. She also planned to read a speech celebrating tea, Shakespeare, fish and chips and the royals. But the grade-A student was stopped by teachers who gave her the option of wearing a second-hand uniform instead. Courtney refused before her dad Stuart Field, 47, arrived to collect her from Bilton School in Rugby, Warwickshire. He slammed the school for 'virtue signalling' and said he had since received a grovelling apology. The dad of five told The Sun: 'Her head of year bizarrely said that if she had worn a suit of armour or a nurse's outfit, she probably would have been allowed. It's ridiculous. "The irony is they were having a cultural diversity day and yet they singled out a group of people. 'She's a grade-A student and they have vilified her and punished her for being proud of being British.' The school was later forced to close following "extremist threats". It announced it was closing "in the interests of student and staff safety" following threats. The school released a letter to parents on Thursday in which is said it was receiving "extremist abuse online and via our telephone systems". Headteacher Jayne Delves and Ranjit Samra, CEO of Stowe Valley Multi-Academy Trust, both said that members of staff had been threatened. 5 Chris claimed the message he received was "snotty" Credit: SWNS

Chris Hughes urged to 'keep some things private' after NSFW JoJo Siwa confession
Chris Hughes has made a rather shocking admission about his relationship with JoJo Siwa—and once you know it, you can't unknow it. The Celebrity Big Brother couple have been sharing glimpses of their romance on social media in the month they've been together. With JoJo, 22, in the States and Chris, 32—whom she calls 'my sweet Christopher'—in the UK, they've already jetted back and forth several times to spend time together. And after Chris gave his first tell-all interview about their blossoming relationship last week, it seems he just can't stop talking. The Love Island star made a very NSFW revelation in his latest chat with E! when asked about his future with JoJo, who previously dated Kath Ebbs, and the possibility of starting a family. Somehow, totally unprovoked, this led to him telling the world what his girlfriend has nicknamed his genitals.

'During an interview with me, she (JoJo) did mention her dream for three kids named Freddie, Eddie, and Teddy,' the interviewer began, referencing a now-viral moment from the Dance Moms personality. 'I'm not sure if you have heard of this before,' he said, to which Chris began laughing. 'Yeah, she's mentioned those names before,' he smiled. Probed on his reaction, Chris steered the conversation in a very different direction. 'Well, she calls my balls Jimmy and Timmy, so she must love the rhyming lingo within her life.' While the interviewer chuckled in response, the comments section of a clip shared on Instagram quickly flooded with confusion and demands that both parties start keeping some things private. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video 'Yea know…. There are things we just keep to ourselves 🥴😂', commented @gabriellemast_. 'Oh helll nahhhhh', wrote @itspaulybih. 'Omg…tmi 🥴', added @halfordsue. 'These celebs telling us things we don't want to know nowadays', agreed @crystalicioussss. However, plenty leapt to the defence of the lovebirds, championing Chris's British sense of humour. Others pointed out how Jimmy and Timmy were reportedly nicknames JoJo used in the CBB house, making it a long-standing, open joke. 'Shows people didn't watch big brother😂😂😂', laughed @ngodza24 in reaction to the trolling. Chris's confession comes after he opened up about his love for JoJo and how he's already been mentally planning their wedding. Speaking to The Sun, he admitted: 'I'd love to marry her. I'd be lying if I didn't tell you I run through scenarios of our wedding day … We'd have a proper English wedding, and I can imagine her in a full wedding dress.' On having children together, he added: 'We both want kids. 'We come from loving families. My mum loves her. She's my best friend. I love that she's the person I have to do nothing with and still have the best time. That's everything to me.' Elsewhere in the gushing interview, Chris explained that JoJo makes him feel 'safe'. He also made it clear he has no time for critics of their age gap or those accusing them of a 'showmance'. 'I wouldn't go to the effort of loving someone for any other reason than it being real,' he declared. Before his relationship with JoJo, Chris's former girlfriends included ITV presenter Olivia Attwood and Little Mix pop star Jesy Nelson. More Trending JoJo previously identified as a lesbian, having only publicly dated women and non-binary partners. However, she and Aussie musician Kath, 27, broke things off at the CBB wrap party in dramatic fashion, with JoJo now insisting that she feels more comfortable with the 'queer' label. Proving himself to be an ally, Chris declared in his interview earlier this month that 'love is love' and she is 'still part of the LGBTQ+ community,' regardless of who she is with. Got a story?

Oasis reassures cheating fans they are 'safe' after Coldplay kiss-cam saga
Oasis fans with wandering eyes have been told not to worry about being caught out for cheating. Earlier this month Liam Gallagher, 52, and older brother Noel Gallagher, 58, finally reunited for their long-awaited reunion tour. Kicking off in Cardiff on July 5, that gig was the siblings' first since their split in 2009. While their tour has been one of the most-talked about in recent weeks, some of the spotlight was redirected at fellow British band Coldplay last week when a kiss-cam exposed a cheating couple. On July 16, during a concert near Boston, Massachusetts in the United States, a couple were shown on the big screen while embracing. However, their reaction raised eyebrows after the pair quickly dropped and ducked out of view, with Coldplay frontman Chris Martin quipping: 'Ooh, look at these two. Either they're having an affair or they're just very shy!' To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video It turns out his suspicions were correct, with internet sleuths soon uncovering the pair as Astronomer chief executive Andy Byron and his HR chief Kristin Cabot – who are both married, but not to each other. A few days on Liam has weighed in and said his fans shouldn't be concerned about finding themselves in a similar situation at one of his band's gigs. During Sunday night's show at Manchester's Heaton Park, he asked the audience: 'Do we have any lovebirds in the house?'. We've teamed up with Camp Bestival Dorset to give one lucky Metro reader and their family the chance to win family weekend tickets, worth up to £1,172! Created by families, for families, Camp Bestival combines all the fun of a fantastic family camping holiday with everything you would expect from a perfect and action-packed festival adventure.

Good luck! * Open to GB residents (excluding Northern Ireland) aged 18+. Promotion opens at 18:01 on 16/7/25 and closes at 23:59 on 23/7/25. Entrant must submit their first and last name, email address, date of birth and postcode when prompted via the entry form available on (available here). 1 prize available of a family weekend camping ticket, including two (2) adult tickets and up to four (4) child and/or teen tickets in any combination as chosen by the winner to attend Camp Bestival (Lulworth Castle, Dorset) from 31st July 2025 to 3rd August 2025.

He went on to share: 'Don't worry, we ain't got any of that Coldplay, snidey f***ing camera s***. It doesn't matter to us who you're f***ing mingling with, or tingling with or fingering with. None of our f***ing business.' Throughout their Music of the Spheres global tour Coldplay have done a segment each show where they film audience members and Chris sings an impromptu song to them. However, following the unfortunate kiss-cam incident last week that exposed the affair, he warned fans at the band's show in Madison, Wisconsin that they might be filmed. 'We'd like to say hello to some of you in the crowd. How we're gonna do that is we're gonna use our cameras and put some of you on the big screen,' he explained. Flashing a grin, he added: 'So please, if you haven't done your makeup, do your makeup now.' After the footage of the kiss-cam went viral, Chris was filmed saying he hoped they 'hadn't done something bad'. More Trending On Saturday Byron, who had served as CEO since 2023, tendered his resignation from Astronomer. Cabot is believed to have joined the company as Chief People Officer nine months ago. Neither have spoken publicly about their 'affair' being exposed. Got a story?
