Love the wide leg stretch waist trousers!! Look fab on you

One person said: 'Sooo chic.'
Why is Zara so popular?
Zara was founded in 1975 in Spain, and the first UK store was opened in 1998. It remains as one of the most popular stores on the high street, but why?
Rather than producing more quantities of a style, it is said Zara focuses on producing more styles.
Some stats suggest Zara releases 24 trend-led collections every year, 500 designs a week and almost 20,000 per year. Other estimates put its production levels at 450 million garments a year.
Even if a style sells out very quickly, there are new styles waiting to take up the space. This means more choices and higher chance of getting it right with the consumer.
Zara only allows its designs to remain on the shop floor for three to four weeks, and this pushes the consumer to keep visiting the store or website, because if they were just a week late, the clothes of a particular style or trend would be sold out and replaced with a new trend.
At the same time, this constant refreshing of the lines and styles carried by its stores also entices customers to visit its shops more frequently.
Another added: 'Love the wide leg stretch waist trousers!! Look fab on you.'
A third commented: 'What's the code of the trousers! They look amazing on you.'

I tried going to bed as ugly as possible to wake up more beautiful – my partner thought I was mad but this item worked

THEY call it 'beauty sleep,' but let's be honest - just because I've clocked in a solid eight hours doesn't mean I wake up looking fresh-faced. And some days more than others it certainly takes a bit of work on my puffy eyes and messy hair before I look presentable for the world. 10 The rose of the 'morning shed' has taken over TikTok, racking up over 100million in views worldwide Credit: TikTok/@eringett7 10 The idea is that you go to bed after applying multiple beauty products - and 'shed' them off in the morning to have a 'glow up' Credit: TikTok/@@victoriasamson And sometimes there just isn't time for a miracle, if I'm rushing to work or I'm late out the house. But could TikTokers have the ultimate clever solution to help my predicament? One of the booming beauty trends that has over 100million views is the 'morning shed' - and it looks baffling from first glance. The #morningshed trend is about maximising beauty sleep by applying multiple beauty products before bed, then "shedding" them in the morning to reveal a fresher, more flawless complexion. More on beauty TikTokers such as While the nighttime get-up may look silly to some, I was willing to put it to the test to see if it could be the short cut I was craving for looking fresher, faster. MY TEST 10 I applied lip stain, a sleep-in face mask, heatless curlers and a very sexy chin strap Credit: THE SUN After ordering all my products online, I began my nighttime beauty prep with slightly damp hair and a set of heatless curlers, which cost just I wrapped my hair around the soft band, hoping to wake up with effortless waves. Most read in Fabulous Next , I applied a Then came the viral face mask that's been making the rounds on TikTok—part of the ever-growing Korean skincare craze. Morning shed skincare routine and benefits explained This As a side-sleeper, I was skeptical it would stay put, but I gave it a try. I followed that with a dab of castor oil on my lashes—meant to strengthen and promote growth over time. No overnight miracles expected there, but worth a shot. Then came the slightly absurd-looking I looked absolutely unhinged by this point—but I wasn't done. Finally, I applied the £14.99 10 My partner got the shock of his life as this 'beauty' showed up in the bedroom Credit: THE SUN 10 I was worried I wouldn't be able to sleep with all of this on my face and head Credit: THE SUN 10 Apparently I had nailed the King Baldwin from Kingdom of Heaven look, according to my partner Credit: Other20th Century Fox As I climbed into bed, my partner audibly gasped and joked that I looked like King Baldwin from Kingdom of Heaven. I couldn't even argue, I did look terrifying. Despite feeling ridiculous and unsure I'd manage to drift off at all, I actually slept through the night without any issues. THE RESULT 10 By morning, the chin strap had fallen off - but the face mask had gone clear and done its magic Credit: THE SUN 10 I was ready to 'shed' off all the products to see the transformation Credit: THE SUN 10 My hair had transformed overnight without needing heat Credit: THE SUN I woke up hoping I'd somehow transformed into a Disney princess overnight—but reality, as always, had other plans. My chin strap had wandered off sometime during the night, and my lip stain had smudged across my face—probably thanks to the moisture from the sheet mask (which, miraculously, had stayed in place and left my skin feeling surprisingly fresh). The mouth tape held firm too, and even better, it completely silenced my partner's snoring—thanks to the strip I'd 'generously' applied to him in solidarity. I was honestly amazed, and safe to say, he'll be wearing one every night from now on. The real triumph, though, was my hair. It had curled perfectly overnight, leaving it bouncy and ready to go—no styling required. I was least impressed with the lip stain, which had left my lips dry, so I gave them a boost with my A quick swipe of mascara, and I was ready to head out the door, feeling put-together with barely any effort at all - in the morning at least. 10 I plumped my lips in seconds with the Silk'n Lumilips LED Lip Mask Credit: SUPPLIED WHAT DO EXPERTS SAY? But what should we really be doing for our skincare routine, and is the 'morning shed' too over the top? Shubhi Grover, Head of Consumer and Beauty at "While elaborate morning shed routines may look visually impressive on TikTok, much of the real skin and hair work actually happens overnight, when the body is in recovery mode. 'Your evening routine should be intentional and not overwhelming, as most of us make that mistake. 'A few high-quality, well-formulated products tailored to your skin or hair type can go further than a 12-step ritual you won't sustain. 'I recommend focusing on hydration, barrier repair, and scalp care at night, to wake up glowing without the excessive morning 'undoing.'' The dream nighttime beauty routine, according to experts SHUBHI Grover, Head of Consumer and Beauty at Sapience Communications gave her absolute non-negotiables for nighttime... A gentle double cleanse to remove SPF and pollutants - double cleanse is my holy grail An ultra-hydrating serum with peptides or hyaluronic acid A silk pillowcase to reduce friction - great for both skin and hair And on my hair: a light scalp serum and a loose protective braid or silk bonnet She added: 'I would say it's less faff, more science, and most importantly, consistency goes a long way." CONCLUSION While the full nighttime beauty routine was fun to try, I'll be honest—it's a bit too time-consuming to keep up with every single night. That said, there are definitely a few steps I'll be sticking with. The heatless curlers are an easy win—no heat damage, and I wake up with soft, bouncy waves. The overnight face mask left my skin feeling fresh and hydrated, so that's staying in rotation too. And as for the mouth tape? I might not wear it every night, but my partner definitely will—his snore-free sleep was the real MVP of the whole experiment.

Astronomer CEO Andy Byron resigns following viral Coldplay concert video

The chief executive of New York-based tech firm Astronomer, Andy Byron, has stepped down after a viral video appeared to show two of the company's senior staff embracing at a Coldplay concert. The company said Mr Byron had resigned and the board had accepted it. A search for a new CEO will begin soon. In a statement, Astronomer said: 'As stated previously, Astronomer is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding. Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability, and recently, that standard was not met.' It added: 'The board will begin a search for our next chief executive as co-founder and chief product officer Pete DeJoy continues to serve as interim CEO.' Two executives who were caught having an alleged affair at a Coldplay concert have been placed on administrative leave. Pic: Instaagraace via TikTok Tech firm chief executive Andy Byron and a colleague went viral after a video from a Coldplay concert in Boston on 16 July showed them arm in arm during a crowd kiss cam. Appearing to joke about the scene, Coldplay frontman Chris Martin commented during the show: 'Either they're having an affair or they're just very shy.' The moment quickly gained traction online, racking up millions of views and prompting widespread speculation about the identities of those involved. While Astronomer previously said Mr Byron had been placed on leave, the company stopped short of confirming whether he was the man seen in the video. The pair immediately tried to hide their identities, and failed miserably. Pic: Instaagraace via TikTok In a statement posted to X on Friday, the company said: 'The Board of Directors has initiated a formal investigation into this matter, and we will have additional details to share very shortly.' Astronomer also clarified that another named staff member had not attended the event and that 'no other employees were in the video.' Mr Byron has not commented publicly, despite a fake statement purporting to be from him circulating online.

Cian Ducrot review: Homecoming to remember with two sold-out nights at the Marquee

Cork singer-songwriter Cian Ducrot celebrated a homecoming to remember at the first of two sold-out gigs at Live at the Marquee on Saturday night. The rain which fell from early afternoon in the city didn't stop fans from flocking to the Marquee to witness the first of the All For You singer's two shows at the tented venue. Ducrot, who had previously shared how much he loves coming back home to play on Cork soil, was met with cheers and screams as he walked on stage, arms outstretched. Ducrot's effortless ability to connect with his audience was immediately clear, with his set inspiring raw, hand-on-heart emotion from the audience. Ducrot's songs, which explore themes of love, loss, heartbreak and personal struggles, and focus on emotional honesty and vulnerability, resonated with the crowd from the beginning. Getting right into his set, he kicked the night off with an upbeat performance of Who's Making You Feel It which had the Marquee crowd dancing and singing along. He then took to his piano for a solo to kick off his next song Little Dreaming before continuing the upbeat set with Heaven and Shalalala. 'Cork, how are you? This is the most incredible feeling that I have ever felt. I just want to say I love you so, so much,' he said, letting the crowd know how much it meant to him that his fans managed to sell-out two back-to-back shows at the venue - his first time playing the iconic venue. Fresh from a string of gigs in the UK, the Passage West-raised singer continued the gig by asking the crowd to 'raise your hands if you've had your heart broken recently' before choosing to bring fan Orlaith up on stage. Both sitting on the piano, he dedicated his next song The Book Of Love to Orlaith. The only time the Marquee fell silent was when Ducrot swapped his guitar for the flute for Kiss And Tell, a nod to just how talented the musician is at turning his hand to the many instruments he can play. Cian Ducrot playing Live at the Marquee. Picture: Larry Cummins Supporting Ducrot on Saturday night was country pop group Remember Monday. The group, consisting of members Lauren Byrne, Holly-Anne Hull and Charlotte Steele, gained prominence after appearing on The Voice UK in 2019 and went on to represent the United Kingdom in the Eurovision Song Contest 2025 with the song What the Hell Just Happened?. Singer-songwriter Hetta Falzon will warm the crowd up at Sunday night's gig at the Marquee before Ducrot takes to the stage for a second night. Raised in Cork, Ducrot studied music in London before moving back to Ireland to pursue his dream. He rose to fame with his singles All For You and I'll Be Waiting, both of which gained popularity via TikTok and charted highly in Ireland following their release in 2022. He went on to make his main stage debut at Electric Picnic in 2023 which he previously described as a stand-out moment in his career to date. His debut studio album Victory was released on August 4, 2023, and reached number 1 in the UK and Ireland. With over 801 billion streams, Ducrot's music continued to make an impact long after the release of his first album and he went on to play to a total of 36,000 people across two headline shows in Dublin and Cork before touring as support for Calum Scott across North America. Most recently, he introduced a handful of new tracks in the shape of Here It Is, Something I Can't Afford, Can't Even Hate You, and Your Eyes and received his first Grammy nomination as the co-writer of SZA's smash hit Saturn. Ducrot is also set to play a headline concert at Dublin's 3Arena on Saturday, December 20.
