When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. When news broke last week that filming for The Devil Wears Prada 2 had started, fashion fans around the world rejoiced at the news. The first sightings of Anne Hathaway in character as Andy Sachs saw the actress wearing an incredible Mondrian-inspired maxi dress by Gabriela Hearst and it was just the beginning. Hathaway's latest look taps straight into the denim trends 2025 with a cool, retro-inspired jumpsuit. The laidback style featured a relaxed cut with a slightly fitted waist and was complemented with a selection of vintage patches across the chest. Drawing the eye upwards to the stylish zipper detail on both the pockets and front of the jumpsuit. If you're wondering how to style a jumpsuit, this denim version couldn't make it easier to look cool. We love how Molly Rogers (Costume Designer for The Devil Wears Prada 2) has added one of the best designer handbags from Valentino and a pair of lust-worthy chunky Chanel Dad sandals to this cool look - we'll be filing this under future smart casual outfit ideas. JUMP TO IT It's official - jumpsuits are having a moment (again), appearing as one of the key spring/summer fashion trends 2025. This utilitarian-inspired style was seen on the catwalks at the likes of Saint Laurent and Fendi in a variety of guises, but our favourite version has to be denim. The cool all-in-one look is super easy to dress up or down; for a quick date night outfit, lower the zipper, add a chunky gold necklace, and wear with heels for a chic yet relaxed outfit. Heading to brunch or a picnic in the park? Take inspiration from Anne Hathaway's look and roll up the cuffs on the trouser legs ever so slightly to show off your favourite pair of chunky sandals. Shop the look In a vintage-inspired mid-wash blue, this denim jumpsuit from Boden has a cool retro look. For a dressed up look, swap the tie waist belt for a fitted leather style to cinch your waist. $199 / £139 at Boden The lighter denim wash of this style makes it one of the best jumpsuits for summer days. Team with affordable jewellery in gold and tan accessories for a stylish holiday look. $59.99 / £44.99 at H&M You can always trust River Island to give a jumpsuit a sexy spin - this fitted style with flared legs has a 70s bohemian-inspired look, perfect for nights out.

They're made from soft black leather and finished with gold hardware. $328 / £227.29 at Nordstrom This cool black leather handbag is really two styles in one - add the shoulder strap for the ideal everyday bag or use the two shorter handles for a playful day-to-night update. $287 / £209 at Mi Bolsa London When it comes to the sunglasses trends 2025, it doesn't get cooler than a pair of timeless cat's eye sunglasses from Celine. This oversized frame has a stylish, contemporary twist. $440 / £400 at Net A Porter If you're looking to update your summer capsule wardrobe, make sure to add a denim jumpsuit to your outfit roster. We love how this low-key denim piece can be dressed up and down and Andy Sach's outfit is the perfect example. The cool, utilitarian look features a high-low blend of everyday denim combined with quiet luxury accessories from some of our favourite French fashion brands - pieces from both Chanel and Celine are featured, as well as a gorgeous designer Valentino handbag. But even if you don't have the money for designer accessories, you can still make this chic denim style work for you. When styling your denim jumpsuit, keep accessories simple and elevated. Opting for subtle and understated bags and shoes will help your outfit look expensive, regardless of the budget. Just like other fashion fans out there, we can't wait to see what our The Devil Wears Prada 2 heroine is spotted wearing next, one thing is for sure, though, this film sequel is certainly going to influence styling and fashion into 2026.

Reeves's tax hikes leave 50,000 firms on the brink as stagflation fears grip Britain
The High Street has suffered a tenth consecutive month of decline as higher prices hit shoppers – fuelling fears Britain is facing a painful period of stagflation. In a bleak update, the CBI said its gauge of how retail sales compared with a year earlier stood at minus 34 this month as customers baulked at rising living costs. Although that was better than minus 46 seen in June, it was the tenth month of decline in a row, stretching back to October last year, according to the lobby group's figures. The slump came as firms battered by the Chancellor's £25billion National Insurance tax raid and an increase in the minimum wage pushed up prices – hitting customers in the pocket. The High Street is also grappling with higher business rates following Labour's failure to reform the hated levy on shops and other business properties. The CBI report sparked fresh concerns over the state of the economy as corporate restructuring specialist Begbies Traynor warned a record number of companies are in 'critical financial distress'. Its 'Red Flag Alert' found there are 49,309 firms on the brink – up 21.4 per cent on a year ago. Begbies said 'consumer-facing industries continued to experience some of the most extreme rises in critical financial distress' and highlighted a 41.7 per cent rise among bars and restaurants and a 17.8 per cent increase in general retail. A host of household names have been hit, with River Island battling for survival following the collapse of maternity brand Seraphine and fashion chain Quiz. It is feared Rachel Reeves will hammer households and private business again with another round of tax hikes in the Budget this autumn to pay for Labour's lavish spending on the public sector. The rising costs faced by business have already pushed up inflation to 3.6 per cent – well above the 2 per cent target – while the economy has also contracted for two months in a row. That has raised the spectre of stagflation – a period of economic stagnation and inflation that hits living standards and costs jobs. It has also cast doubt over how far and fast the Bank of England can cut interest rates this year. The CBI urged ministers to 'seek to build shorter-term confidence' in the Government's economic plans and deliver an autumn Budget 'that acknowledges the burden firms are facing'. Cautioning over the impact of the new workers' rights Bill, Martin Sartorius, principal economist at the CBI, said: 'Firms reported that elevated price pressures – driven by rising labour costs – and economic uncertainty continue to weigh on household demand.'

Rochelle Humes returns to This Morning in denim dress that costs less than £50
Rochelle Humes is back on the This Morning sofa and she's already impressing with her outfit choices. The former Saturdays singer wore a flattering denim dress that costs £46 After wowing in a butter yellow cardigan for her This Morning debut last week, Olivia Attwood has passed the summer holidays presenting baton to an equally stylish host. Rochelle Humes has stepped into the role this Monday wearing a gorgeous indigo denim dress that costs less than £50. Co-presenting the daytime show alongside Dermot O'Leary, the ex-Saturdays singer wore a dark denim sleeveless dress, which we've hunted down online. The frock is from ASOS' affordable own brand, coming in at a purse-friendly £46. The dress boasts a ruched front with an on trend drop waist, complete with a sleeveless silhouette that's ideal for warm weather styling. Styled by Amber Jackson, Rochelle wore the dress with a heels flip flop and gold jewellery, rocking a long, 90s style bob. Her dress is made from 100% cotton, perfect for summer, and has a zip back fastening which gives it more structure, while making it easier to get on and off. It also looks far more expensive than its £46 price tag would suggest. The ASOS number comes in significantly cheaper than this zip-up Mint Velvet Blue Denim Midi Dress, available for £130 at Next. It comes in a similar colour and silhouette, but has pockets, a slit at the back and zip fastening at the front. For a high street alternative, River Island's Blue Denim Pintuck Stretch Denim Midi Dress is only £3 more expensive than the ASOS dress, costing £49. Instead of ruching, it has pintuck detailing which cinches the waist for a snatched appearance, however, the cotton content is lower than the ASOS dress, Rochelle is known to be a fan of River Island, too. Appearing on the show in May she opted for a crisp white wrap shirt from ASOS (£32), featuring long sleeves, a spread collar and a flattering wrap-front design, as well as River Island's Blue Seam Detail Balloon Leg Jeans. She told her fans: "There's a new rule, we didn't used to wear jeans but we can wear jeans now. This is amazing news to me. So these are River Island, they're like a nice barrel cut." What's more is that the £49 jeans are now on sale, costing £25 an available in most sizes. Rochelle isn't the only ITV favourite who loves the retailer, either. Last week, Frankie Bridge had followers racing to River Island for her Brown Faux Leather Funnel Neck Bomber Jacket, which is £52. Styling the jacket with some blue wide leg jeans and a graphic vest top, she said: 'This jacket is perfect for over summer as it's lightweight and is perfect to throw on if the weather changes.'

Boden shoppers swap trainers for new 'favourite pair of shoes' now £78 off
The Boden sale is treating fashion fans to a fruity pair of shoes that are perfect for summer Shoppers looking for an alternative shoe to a classic trainer have found a stylish option from Boden - and they're on sale. Saving fashion fans £78, these loafers have been hailed by Boden for being 'as comfortable as slippers', but with a chic and smart look. Originally £130, the loafers have been reduced to better than half price, now retailing for £52. Boasting a cute and quirky embroidered cherry print, the shoes tap into this season's fruity trend. They're ideal for summer and can be worn with everything from jeans to dresses and skirts. These loafers are an easy way to give a vibrant finishing touch to an otherwise simple outfit. They could be styled and worn to work with a pair of tailored trousers, or on a day off with more casual attire. Currently available in UK sizes 3.5 to 8.5, the shoes are made from a combination of suede, textile and leather. Cherries are taking over the accessory collections of other retailers, too. At ASOS shoppers can get this River Island Cherry Embossed Tote Bag for £42. It has a similar look to this £275 designer Coach bag. Part of the Next Cath Kidston range, this Cherry Stripe Large Market Tote Bag is also £42. One customer gave it five stars, writing: "Perfect bag for traveling with kids. Large enough to fit all our stuffs for beach trip." Cherries Slipper Cut Loafer £130 £52 Boden Shop deal Product Description Boden have thousands of items on sale at the moment, but if it's the cherry print loafers that are top of the list, shoppers can take a closer look here. They've been highly rated by customers, with people calling them 'gorgeous' and commenting that they've had 'endless compliments' since getting their hands on them. A new customer to Boden has now been converted to the brand, writing: "So cute! Great quality and so adorable. I will be coming back to Boden!" And a loyal fan shared: "Perfection! Bought my usual size 41 which are usually fine in Boden shoes, of which I own many. They are so comfortable. Very elegant and eye-catching." Someone else left a review that reads: "I've bought a lot of shoes in my life, but these loafers are very special. As soon as I unpacked it, I was impressed by the high-quality workmanship and the lovely design. The combination of classic style and modern twist with the cherry detail makes it a real eye-catcher - perfect for any occasion, whether in the office or when going out. But what impresses me the most is the comfort. "These loafers fit like a glove and feel like they were made just for me. The soft interior and flexible sole mean I can be on my feet all day without feeling tired or uncomfortable. I've received so many compliments on these shoes that I don't even want to take them off! They're the perfect mix of style and comfort, and the heart motif gives them a charming, playful touch that simply puts you in a good mood." However, the sizing was a little off for some people. Despite being pleased with the shoes, it has been noted by a few that they come up large. One consumer said 'very cute - a bit on the large side' and another shared 'lovely, just a lot bigger than expected'. Those looking to switch up their wardrobe might want to consider the Boden loafers. This is exactly what this customer thought, explaining: "I was trying to add some fun loafers to my mostly sneaker wardrobe. Quality is lovely and the shoe has enough give. These are quickly becoming my favorite pair of shoes." It has also been said that the loafers are 'beautiful, high quality, and super comfortable.' As well as someone else pointing out: "Great pattern and fit! Really enjoying my new loafers."
