Amanda Holden wears £225 swimsuit but you can get similar one at £41
Fans were shocked when they found out the price of the timeless black and white swimsuit but for those who like the classic style, Boux Avenue has a similar one for less Amanda Holden showed off her tanned complexion in an eye-catching monochrome swimsuit while sunbathing in the glorious sunshine in the Mediterranean. Her sold out Away That Day Cannes Swimsuit has a classic black and white style but usually comes with a hefty £225 price tag. However, shoppers looking for something similar can look to Boux Avenue where the Rivoli monochrome swimsuit, currently reduced from £52 to £41.60, boasts similar features including the contrasting colour adjustable shoulder straps and figure-flattering balconette cups. The shoulder straps can be adjusted to sit further to the sides to accentuate the decolletage while the back features a cut-out design for a timeless style. Amanda Holden's swimsuit features a higher cut at the brief than Boux Avenue's, which is designed by cup size to make the most of curves. The Rivoli swimsuit is available in sizes from 30 to 38G, with shoppers praising the stunning design. It scored 3.9 out of fours in reviews, with one shopper saying: "Lovely swimsuit, the white details are super flattering, particularly on the leg area. Can't wait to wear this on holiday." A second shared: "I bought this with my normal bra size, which I have many from Boux Avenue, and it was on the small size. There was no way the back clip was going to reach, let alone stay done up and it was a bit small on the boob." She added that if the description could clearly mark the band size, she would go for one size up. A third also agreed on the flattering design and described as "50s pin up Barbie" but mentioned that it was "too short on the torso". For Australian swimwear fans, Seafolly's Ric Rac One Piece Swimsuit, £120, at Next is another good option for a holiday staple. The ultra-feminine one piece with scallop trimmed border and bow detailing features soft cups for shape and support, gripper support and gripper tape to hold the swimsuit in place with an internal shelf bra for bust support. Shoppers can also pick up the CupShe's Square Neck One Piece Swimsuit from Amazon, which is currently reduced from £26.39 to £22.43 in a limited time deal. Instead of thick shoulder straps for maximum impact, it's swapped to a thin border to go around the bust. Amanda's fans reacted to her post, with one commenting in disbelief: "£225 for that swimming costume!" A second wrote: "This woman has the most incredible figure, just no idea how, it's like she's still in her 20s."

This high street swimsuit looks just like Amanda Holden's designer beach 'fit
This high street swimsuit looks just like Amanda Holden's designer beach 'fit The BGT judge was spotted in Corfu over the weekend wearing a stunning Odabash swimsuit and we've found one for a fraction of the price on the high street Amanda Holden looks effortlessly chic in a black and white swimsuit whilst in Corfu (Image: Amanda Holden (Instagram) ) It seems Amanda Holden and Alan Carr are back in their renovation era for their hit BBC show Amanda and Alan's (now) Greek Job, which seems to have begun filming after Amanda posted a picture of the pair on a beach in Corfu, Greece looking radiant. The 54-year-old Britain's Got Talent judge and radio presenter shared a video to her Instagram page over the weekend in which she was sporting (alongside a glorious golden tan) a stunning, vintage style black swimsuit with white accents by the designer brand Melissa Odabash MBE Swimwear (whom she tagged in her post). While the exact piece isn't on the brand's website, the brand's swimsuits retail for over £250 - but thankfully, for those who can't quite spend that much on a one piece for their holidays, we've found two alternatives from the high street that could be mistaken for the brand at a glance. With a black bodice and white feature strips on the legs and straps, those who want to replicate Amanda's look can do so by sporting the Boux Avenue Rivoli swimsuit, which retails at £52. With the difference in design being the Rivoli features white details on the balconette cups and white straps (while Amanda's has white and black on her straps) as well as more coverage on the bust area, the swimsuit by Boux Avenue has been hailed as 'stunning' - and we think it's a brilliant choice to emanate Amanda's style without spending quite so much money.

One said: "I tried on a similar one from a more expensive brand and honestly this one was way better quality! I'm usually a 32H but they didn't have in stock so I bought my sister size of 34F and it fits perfectly! The fabric is nice and thick and there's a lot of support in the straps and cups! Thank you Boux Avenue for making a classy & fashionable swimsuit for us fuller bust girlies!" Another added: "A beautiful, super flattering and elegant swimsuit." Shop the look £52.00 Boux Avenue Buy Now on Boux Avenue Product Description Boux Avenue's Rivoli monochrome swimsuit is a great alternative for those who can't get their hands on Amanda's more expensive Obadash swimsuit. While most people thought the swimsuit was 'beautiful' - one said: "Hands down the most flattering swimsuit I have ever owned. You 100% get what you pay for" - some people reported back that it does come up on the shorter side, causing people to need to size up. One person said: "Far too short in the torso, had to return. Please bring out longer length fit! Mega disappointing as the fabric and design is gorgeous, giving 50s pin up Barbie." Content cannot be displayed without consent For a similar look, New Look's Black Tummy Control Contrast Trim Underwired Swimsuit is slightly cheaper at £32.99 and, as the name suggests, features a tummy control power mesh liner. Different to both Amanda's and Boux Avenue's swimsuits, this New Look iteration has a halter neck which gives it even more of a timeless, vintage style. Pictured from left to right: AWAY THAT DAY Cannes Swimsuit (Harrods); Boux Avenue's Rivoli monochrome swimsuit; New Look's Black Tummy Control swimsuit (Image: Harrods/Boux Avenue/New Look ) Article continues below Shoppers are saying it's a great choice for those who have a more generous bust, with one five star New Look fan raving: "Gorgeous on a fuller bus body type. Absolutely in love with it." Although not everyone was quite so enamoured with one person citing: "Returned. Odd fit. Fitted on the bust but the body of the swim suit was too bag/ loose." For those happy to spend a little extra, Amanda's Melissa Odabash MBE Swimwear piece looks very similar to the AWAY THAT DAY Cannes Swimsuit, which is available at Harrods for £225. It has a similar stylish sweetheart neckline that is super flattering on a whole host of figures and monochromatic design that is just so chic and would look amazing underneath a sarong and paired with an oversized straw hat for some serious water side style.

'Toms River is red and won't stand...': NJ bar drops Bruce Springsteen cover band over anti-Trump rants
NJ bar cancels Springsteen cover band over rocker's anti-Trump comments A Springsteen tribute band has been dropped from a Jersey Shore venue after the owner took issue with the singer's public comments criticising US President Donald Trump , reports the New York Post. The nine-member cover band, No Surrender, was set to play at Riv's Toms River Hub on May 30, but the show was cancelled after Bruce Springsteen made fresh anti-Trump comments during his tour in Europe. The cover band's leader, Brad Hobicorn, said he began receiving 'concerned texts' from bar owner Tony Rivoli soon after Springsteen's fiery political rants went viral. The singer had branded Trump's administration 'corrupt, incompetent and treasonous' while performing in Manchester, England — part of his 'Land of Hope and Dreams' tour. By Sunday, Hobicorn was informed the gig was off. Rivoli texted him to say the show was 'too risky at the moment,' adding that his conservative customer base might not welcome a Springsteen-themed night. 'Unfortunately it's just too much money I wanted to do the Springsteen tribute for that money in my social media team would have promoted it we would have done well but now because Bruce can't keep his mouth shut we're screwed,' Rivoli wrote in one of the messages obtained by NJ Advance Media. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo Hobicorn even offered to switch the night's setlist to classic rock instead of Springsteen songs, but Rivoli turned him down, saying he couldn't justify paying $2,500 for a standard cover band. In another message sent to the band's bassist, Guy Fleming, Rivoli wrote: 'Whenever the national anthem plays, my bar stands and is in total silence, that's our clientele. Toms River is red and won't stand for his bull—.' Fleming later shared details of the situation on Facebook, prompting Rivoli to backtrack somewhat. He claimed the band could still perform and denied outright cancelling the gig. 'As of (Wednesday), they could have played as No Surrender,' he said. 'I think a lot of people of my base would not have came, but I could have been wrong. You know, who knows? You can't predict what people are going to do.' But Hobicorn said the damage was done, and the band opted to play elsewhere. 'At that point, there were negative vibes about the whole thing,' he explained. 'There was definitely a safety concern,' he said. The show will now take place at Headliner Oasis in Neptune Township on the same date. 'This is not political for us at all,' Hobicorn insisted. 'We're just a cover band that's trying to make some money, and people rely on it financially. We're the ones really getting hurt.' Riv's isn't new to controversy. Earlier this year, another Toms River venue, Aqua Blu Kitchen & Cocktails, apologised after naming a hamburger after the far-right Proud Boys group, drawing massive backlash. Meanwhile, Trump took another swipe at Springsteen last week, writing on Truth Social: 'Never liked him, never liked his music, or his Radical Left Politics and, importantly, he's not a talented guy — Just a pushy, obnoxious JERK.'

Bruce Springsteen Cover Band's Jersey Shore Gig Canceled Because 'Bruce Can't Keep His Mouth Shut'
The post Bruce Springsteen Cover Band's Jersey Shore Gig Canceled Because 'Bruce Can't Keep His Mouth Shut' appeared first on Consequence. New Jersey residents usually have an ingrained reverence for Bruce Springsteen, but that doesn't seem to be the case for one Jersey Shore bar owner. After The Boss turned his latest European tour into a fiery rebuke of Donald Trump, Riv's Toms River Hub in Toms River, NJ canceled a scheduled performance by Springsteen cover band No Surrender, with the owner deeming the show 'too risky at the moment.' The nine-piece group was set to play Riv's on May 30th, but shortly after Springsteen's remarks at the opening of his 'The Land of Hope & Dreams Tour,' band members began receiving texts from concerned owner Tony Rivoli (yes, his real name). According to Rivoli messaged bassist Guy Fleming that Toms River and his establishment's base 'is red and won't stand for [Springsteen's] bullshit.' Get Bruce Springsteen Tickets Here Bandleader Brad Hobicorn suggested they could play the gig under their old name, Asbury Fever, with a set of classic rock covers excluding Springsteen. However, Rivoli refused to pay the $2,500 rate for a non-Springsteen show. 'This is not political for us at all,' Hobicorn told 'We're just a cover band that's trying to make some money and people rely on it financially. We're the ones really getting hurt.' 'Unfortunately it's just too much money,' Rivoli texted Hobicorn. 'I wanted to do the Springsteen tribute for that money [and] my social media team would have promoted it we would have done well but now because Bruce can't keep his mouth shut we're screwed.' Rivoli, however, told that he never officially canceled the gig, and that 'as of Wednesday' would have allowed No Surrender to play. After No Surrender publicized the cancellation in now-deleted social media posts, Rivoli did offer to let them play as planned, but the band felt 'negative vibes about the whole thing' and that there was now 'a safety concern.' They've since been booked at Headliner Oasis in Neptune Township, another red area just 30 minutes away from Toms River, on May 30th. See all their upcoming dates here. This isn't the first time Rivoli's conservative politics have brought his business bad press. Although his previous establishment, Rivoli's Restaurant, closed in 2016, images resurfaced in 2020 of the restaurant's sign reading, 'I can breathe, I obey law,' a reference to the death of Eric Garner. Rivoli publicly apologized. Springsteen himself, meanwhile, has continued to use his stage to speak out against Trump, even releasing The Land of Hope and Dreams EP featuring recently recorded songs and speeches from his ongoing tour. Trump has responded with memes and petty threats. Consequence's own Managing Editor Wren Graves and Publisher Alex Young discussed the feud in our latest Consequence Chat.
