Why Primark is great for looking expensive on a budget
By Clemmie Feildsend, Fabulous Fashion Editor
AS someone who's no stranger to grabbing a last-minute outfit from Primark for a night out, it's about time that celebrities started catching on too.
For as long as I've been heading out, Primark has been my go-to for those 'I have nothing to wear' moments, rushing in at the last minute to find something perfect.
And I'm definitely not alone - on any Friday or Saturday night, you'll find plenty of shoppers doing the same thing, right before closing time.
But no matter what, Primark always delivers.
Now, Rita Ora is leading the charge, showing that you can snag a designer-worthy look without spending a fortune at high-end stores.
While Rita's not rushing in last minute for a red carpet outfit, she's proving you can achieve the same high-impact style for much less.
Looking stunning in her tailored suit alongside her mum Vera, Rita fit right in among the other A-listers dripping in Prada, Dior, and Victoria Beckham - if anything, she looked even better than some of the guests at The Fashion Awards.
With Myleene Klass and Roxy Horner already jumping on the Primark bandwagon, I'm sure more stars will be following suit soon enough.
And that's not all, as these pants also feature a 'flattering slim fit that smoothes effortlessly over your figure.'
Many will be pleased to know that sizes range from a 6 to a size 20 and these capri pants are now available to order on the website's new Click & Collect feature.

90s pop legend unrecognisable as she joins TikTok and shows off room full of hit records – can you guess who she is?

SHE burst onto the pop scene with a giant smile, infectious energy and hits that had school discos in a chokehold – now she's joined TikTok looking barely recognisable. Can you guess who she is? Posting under her stage name, the performer promised her adoring fans that they could ask her anything about her hits and musical career and she would "spill the beans". Advertisement 4 Can you guess who this 90s pop legend is? Credit: TikTok/@lolly_annakofficial 4 She showed off her many hits behind her Credit: TikTok/@lolly_annakofficial Did you guess correctly? It's pop star Lolly , of course! Real name Anna Kumble , the singer the video-sharing app and stunned fans by showing off a room stacked with gold discs and hit singles. Best known for her 1999 smash "Viva La Radio" and a high-energy cover of "Mickey" , Lolly enjoyed a string of Top 20 singles and two albums before vanishing from the pop spotlight in the early noughties. But now, the singer is back, this time with a TikTok debut that has viewers doing a double-take. One user gushed: "Queen, your songs were everything! Your GJWHF cover is so carefree, used to wish I was having all that fun in the video when I was little! Been asking Mighty Hoopla to book you for years!" Advertisement Another person wrote: "I love this takes me back to the good days!" While someone else added: "Love that your here!!! So many bops!! Per Sempre Amore is one of my all time favourite songs." In her new video, Lolly walks into a vibrant pastel-toned room filled with her own memorabilia, including CDs, vinyl, framed records. Looking fresh-faced and still rocking her signature megawatt smile, the singer added another video showcasing some of her smash hits. Although she left the charts behind two decades ago, Anna's return has sparked nostalgia online, with TikTok users quickly clocking who she is as the video racked up views.

After stepping back from music, Lolly went on to work in TV presenting and musical theatre, but it's clear her love for pop hasn't fizzled. While she hasn't announced a comeback (yet), fans are already speculating about whether this could be the start of something more. One user replied: "LOLLY FOR MIGHTY HOOPLA 2026!"

I earn £10k a month doing a job no one wants – I only have to work half the year & get to travel the world

A WOMAN has revealed how she rakes in £10,000 a month - despite only working six months of the year. TikTok creator Ashlea shares every step of her glamorous lifestyle online - including her day job as a dump truck driver. 3 Ashlea from Perth says she makes £10k a month as a dump truck driver Credit: Instagram 3 She works FIFO (fly-in fly-out) roles, enabling her to be flexible Credit: Tiktok 3 Ashlea boasts over 81,000 followers on TikTok Credit: Tiktok The 26-year-old truck driver from Perth, Western Australia, has recently shared snaps from trips to Bali, Finland, Saudi Arabia and Colombia. She also shared a video revealing that after six years of hard work - and driving a car she didn't like - she's finally bought her dream car. In 2023, she detailed her income in a TikTok video and has since become a vocal advocate for women in mining and FIFO (fly-in fly-out) roles. Ashlea said: "When I first started as a greenie [new truck driver], for my first three months I was paid $36.50 (£19.40) an hour. Read more on jobs "And we do 12-hour days and I work on a two and two roster, so that's 14 days on and then I get 14 days off, so I pretty much work six months of the year." Just three months into her new job, said her hourly pay jumped up to $43.50 (£23.10) an hour. She added: "So quite a nice jump. And for my first year as a greenie, that would have taken me to approximately $94-$95,000 (£49-£50,000) annually for the six months. "So, pretty cool for a new truckie." Most read in Fabulous Her new rate is about $51.50 (£27.30) an hour - and she gets a $2,000 (£1,060) bonus each month she stays with her contracting company. Ashlea said: "So that could be anywhere between $6,000 (£3,180) and $10,000 (£5,300). I quit my £43K job in the UK to be a grape-picker in Italy and have ZERO regrets - I don't get paid but I'm so happy "Annually, my $51.50 would be approximately $112,000 (£59,420). With my bonuses, that could be another $10,000, so $122,000 (£64,730) for my first year. "And then when I'm employed directly with the company itself, every full year you're employed through the mine site direct, they pay you a bonus also which I think is approximately $3,000 (£1,590) each year. "And then if the company itself does well I think they actually pay you a bit of a profit share just as a thanks, which I love." The TikToker explained in the comments section of her video that her employer covers the cost of everything - including accommodation, food and flights. She added that she only works 22 weeks a year, which is less than half the year once her four weeks of annual leave are factored in. Ashlea isn't the only woman who's turned her life around. In June 2021, Kelly Moore, a 44-year-old mum from Maidstone, walked away from a career in care and Once stuck in her overdraft and counting every penny, the mum-of-one has since left the nine-to-five grind behind - and now runs one of Maidstone's fastest-growing eco-cleaning businesses.
