Zara McDermott launches new Rise SS25 collection with New Look - and we love it
Zara McDermott has come a long way since she first graced our screens on Love Island in 2018. From hosting Love in the Flesh, to her own documentaries, and let's not forget her collaboration with New Look.
Zara first collaborated with New Look and launched her own label RISE in 2024, which has gone from strength to strength.
In just a matter of days Zara will debut her new spring/summer 2025 collection, which will drop on 3rd July – and the suspense is too much, or is it the heat?
The RISE x Zara collection will be a mix of athleisure and summer styles, which is exactly what we need in this heatwave.
But this collection will be unlike other RISE drops as it will feature new activewear silhouettes that are fashion forward yet functional.
Some designs feature a cross hem such as the activewear top and the matching leggings, while there are also flattering and supportive racerback sports tops, and on-trend skorts.
The range follows a playful colour palette that nods to the summer months, including butter yellow, sage green, as well as baby pink hues.
While some tops feature a racerback, others have double straps or tie side fastenings, while the leggings boast ruching, which accentuates your assets (IYKYK).
New Look has heard our cries for supportive activewear and coverage, which is why the new drop sees all active tops fitted with built-in supportive padding.
But if you're not a fan of fitted activewear don't fret, the edit also includes boxy oversized shirt and short co-ords, as well as a matching scrunchie – who doesn't love a matching set?
The collection will include premium quality fabrics, including the return of the butter-soft scuba material that many loved.
If you are a devoted New Look shopper (like us), you'll know the affordable high street retailer prides itself on being an inclusive label. This is not lost on the new RISE x Zara McDermott collection as sizes range from UK 8 to 22 in store and 8 to 18 online. More Trending
Not only is the collection stylish, practical, functional and inclusive, but it is also affordable with prices spanning from £22 to £45.
Speaking about the collection, Zara said: 'I am beyond grateful and excited to be releasing a new collection of RISE with New Look. This is our third drop and it's our most vibrant yet! We've included some key summer colours like butter yellow, baby pink and sage green. Our iconic super soft scuba fabric is back in new styles, and we've added new cuts in our activewear to elevate the pieces, and we've also created some gorgeous striped shirt and shirt sets with a matching scrunchie, which is ideal for holidays, airport outfits and lounging!
'As always, this collection is so incredibly versatile, comfortable and wearable. I am so proud of how RISE as a brand is growing and I am so grateful to New Look for continuing to partner with us. I am looking forward to finally seeing this product in store and being able to shop in person too!'
Whether you are entering your pilates, padel or marathon girl era, you want comfortable leisurewear to work from home in, or travel to the airport, there is something to suit every shopper's needs in this RISE collection.

Wales fans take over Lucerne as the Red Wall arrive for Euro 2025
Wales fans take over Lucerne as the Red Wall arrive for Euro 2025 'If we win, I think I'll just faint!,' said one fan Zara and Carl are ready for Euro 2025! Wales football fans took over Lucerne in Switzerland on Friday night as the national women's side prepare to play their first-ever match in a major tournament. Rhian Wilkinson's outfit go up against Netherlands in their first pool game of Euro 2025 on Saturday, July 5, and The Red Wall descended on the host city ahead of a massive day for Welsh sport. Bucket hats, retro jerseys and a general party vibe was on the menu for the fan zone outside Lucerne train station. A special performance from singer Aleighcia Scott provided the perfect backdrop as red shirts continued to stream into the fan zone. WalesOnline spoke to Welsh fans about this landmark moment, and what it's like to be in Switzerland as history is made. First up were Zara and Carl from Swansea, who drove all the way from south Wales in a campervan, and were elated to be out in Switzerland ahead of a monumental moment for Welsh women's football. "It's sort of unbelievable," began 16-year-old Zara. "I don't think it will sink in until we are out there in the stadium. You can see how many Welsh fans have travelled out here, it really is crazy. The team really deserve this, they've worked so hard for so many years and yeah, I can't wait now!" Carl added: "What's nice to see is we have been going to Wales away games (a while). First there were 20 of us, we went to Greece. It started growing, growing. It grew to 400 in Dublin and now there is going to be 2000+, absolutely amazing. This is what the girls deserve, they've earned this." When asked about the prospect of a win, dad Carl was buzzing about the prospect of it. "We just want the girls to give 100% and we know they will, if we win, I think I'll just faint! Yes baby! We're going… final, final!" Article continues below "If we do win tomorrow, I don't think he'll be able to drive for a few days!" joked Zara. "And I'll be skint!" added Carl. "These are things you dream of," continued Zara. "Not only as a fan but as a player, this team, if you asked them when they were younger, they probably never would have believed they would make it here. To be here, it shows that anything is possible, so it is incredibly inspirational." "Dreams do come true," said Carl. Dafydd Griffiths, who is "just over 80", was at the fan zone with his wife, and the couple were dressed to the nines in Welsh football apparel. "It's been something that the girls have been working so hard for," began Dafydd. "And it's got a bit of a momentum now in Wales, they're catching up pretty well now with the Euros of 2016, so it's pretty nice for us to be part of another Euro campaign, but with the ladies this time. "We just feel that the fans of Wales are always very respectful of our opposition and there seems to be a nice atmosphere, and very often we meet lots of people that we know back home." Summing up the experience so far, Dafydd said: "Just amazing, and grateful as well." Dafydd and his wife looking the part! Apparently they have their grandson to thank for the swish jerseys Ffion, who has come from Caernarfon with fellow supporters, explained that she felt right at home after arriving to a Welsh-packed Lucerne. "We've been here since Wednesday and I thought, we've seen one or two, but today we've just seen a wave of red, the t-shirts, it's just so nice to see the support the women are finally getting," she said. "We've been waiting for this forever really. We were there for the Ireland game and it was just surreal then, we were there and we were thinking: 'Oh my God, we have to go. Doesn't matter what, we're going!' " When asked to say one word that sums up being here this week, Ffion said: "Ardderchog!", which translates to 'excellent' for any non-Welsh speakers! Ffion feels right at home in Switzerland Mr and Mrs Thomas, who are from Hay-on-Wye, said: "There's no way we were going to miss this". "This could really kick us on, and even if it doesn't work out, we've got some really good young players coming through. I don't think this is the last time we'll see Wales in a major tournament," explained Mr Thomas. "The women's team is so inspiring for young girls wanting to play football, so yes, it's absolutely amazing. It's such an achievement and so inspiring," adds Mrs Thomas. "It has definitely put Wales women on the sporting map to achieve success in whatever sport women would like to do, to play in." Mr and Mrs Thomas weren't going to miss this Father and daughter Rhys and Elin Williams were blown away by the Welsh support. "It's incredible, the atmosphere has been amazing today, with the fan zone, with all the Welsh fans," explained Rhys. "It's amazing how many Welsh people live are here," adds 11-year-old Elin. "I didn't think that many people would come, but there are so many, it's amazing! I never thought I would be able to experience something like this." Elin and Rhys Williams looking the part in their Wales kit "It's like 2016," says Rhys. "It was the first one in my lifetime. But to be here with my daughter for the first ever major tournament for the women's (team) is incredible. The atmosphere tomorrow... the anthem is going to be incredible, it's going to be like Bordeaux in 2016, packed out with Welsh fans." Elin, who is a midfielder for Nantyglo Women's side, adds: "I feel very proud and I feel like it's going to make history doing this." When asked if he could describe in one word what it's like to be in Lucerne for the match, Welshman Hywel simply responded: "Awesome!" Hywel, who is from "all over Wales" "It's wonderful that the women are here, it really is tremendous," he explained. "I'm hoping that we will win all three games. The Wales men's team did so well in 2016, against all the odds. So working off that, and if Jess Fishlock stays fit, I think we could possibly win all three games. I'm hoping there will be a huge crowd and I'll give it some good welly with the singing, because that's important." Ffion, who is from Cardiff, explained that the importance of Wales being on this stage cannot be underestimated. Ffion says 'Wales have taken over!' "Women's football is on such a high, it's just amazing to support, we supported the man, now it's time to support the women," she said. "It makes such a huge impact on women's football in the UK, in Wales, just seeing the women on centre stage, playing against top players, it's just going to be amazing. There's loads of young girls here and they're just watching their idols play, it's amazing." Speaking about the support in Lucerne, she adds: "I think Wales have taken over! This isn't the fan zone, it's the Wales fan zone!" Nick is hoping Jess Fishlock can stay fit Nick, who is originally from Newport, pin-pointed the importance of Jess Fishlock in Wales' Euro campaign, as she returned from injury not long ago. Article continues below "The women are making a name for themselves," he said. "It's well deserved, it's well overdue. The fact that the men have done so well over the last 10 years, hopefully that will continue with the women. "I'm also really pleased for Jess Fishlock, because I've always believed she is the talismanic 'Bale' of the females. Arguably, it's going to be her last tournament."

Love Island's Megan addresses Tommy conversation which viewers didn't get to see
Love Island star Megan Forte Clark has opened up on her time in the villa admitting that she saw red "for days" Megan Forte Clark confessed that she "saw red" in the Love Island villa and is now dishing on her biggest regret. In last month's show, during the first public vote, viewers were tasked with choosing their least favoured couple, leading to Remell Mannings and Megan being booted off the island. The 24-year-old brunette, who found herself entangled in a love triangle with Conor Philips despite being initially paired with Tommy Bradley, was seen locking lips with Conor on the terrace - later spilling to the other girls: "I kissed Conor on the terrace... I was like 'just f**king kiss me then... he was itching to do it." Following a dramatic confrontation, Tommy washed his hands of the romantic tug-of-war, leaving Conor free to pursue Megan - but fate had other plans as a surprise public vote saw her leave the villa soon after. Speaking candidly to Ode Entertainment post-villa life, Megan opened up about the tensions between herself, Tommy, and Conor, revealing an impulsive side she now regrets. On TikTok, the lass from Dublin divulged: "I wish I'd taken a breath", adding a frank admission: "You know when you hear something and you just see red, and I saw red for about four days." She lamented the poorly timed intervention by Conor, stating: "And then obviously while I was seeing red, Conor swooped in so it was just really bad timing. Of course, you only see the hour out of the 24." Confirming her and Tommy parted ways amicably, the musical theatre star stated: "When you see red like that, someone needs to sit you down and say like 'girl'." She elaborated: "I felt like the girls were seeing where I was coming from, so I think that's why I got more wound up." Viewers promptly took to social media to share their opinions, with one fan suggesting: "Bring her back for Casa." Meanwhile, another insisted: "Please bring her back for Casa." Following Megan's exit, which tugged at the heartstrings, Tommy is now coupled up with Emily, who previously paired with Conor. The atmosphere intensified as a tearful Conor questioned Megan: "Will you wait for me?" to which she tenderly responded: "I'll wait for you." Adding to the drama, Conor confessed to Ben that he sees Megan as potential girlfriend material outside of the show.
