Savvy shoppers may also notice that the high street giant's T-shirt bears a striking resemblance to a pricier version. The & Other Stories Knot-Detail T-Shirt is also available in white or brown. Designed with a round neck and three-quarter sleeves, they say the knot-detail at the front "creates a cinched waist with decorative gathers". Primark's mini dress is a copy of a £135 designer version - it'll give you a gorgeous hourglass figure & perfect for date night The only difference between the two? A saving of £17. The & Other Stories version is priced at £27 while Primark's dupe will only set you back £10. So if you're on a tight budget then you may want to head down to your nearest Primark. Dupe delight The new £10 tops aren't the only dupes that shoppers are going wild for in Primark.

The retail giant's Textured Button Midi Dress is lightweight with a textured finish and midi length design. It is available in sizes six to 22 and comes in a range of colours and patterns including green and cream striped, blue gingham and red striped. Describing the new frock on their website, Primark bosses say: "Cut a chic figure and get set for the compliments to come rolling in as you rock this elegant textured midi dress. "The midi length is super sophisticated, meanwhile the lightweight fabric is perfect for staying cool on those warm weather days. 5 5 "The striped textured finish lends a stylish look and feel, while the button detailing to the front effortlessly elevates the look. "This piece is finished with lightly puffed sleeves and a form-flattering tie to the waistline." And savvy shoppers may notice that the dress is the perfect dupe for the Starlight Midi Dress, priced at £89, from Nobody's Child. After spotting them in store, fashion fan Chloe said on TikTok: "Nobody's Child dupes in Primark. "I LOVE the style of Nobody's Child dresses, so it was great to see some similar styles in more affordable prices if you also love that style. "I only went in for one thing, but you never leave Primark with just what you went in looking for." Fashion fans are also in a frenzy over Primark's new £6 Zara dupe that's a summer essential, half the price and "so cute". Many of us will own or recognise the iconic Wide Strap Vest Tops from Zara. But now, Primark has released a brand new range of vests that look practically identical. Why Primark is great for looking expensive on a budget By Clemmie Fieldsend, 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.

Prime Day Ended, but Apple Forgot to Raise the Price on AirPods Pro 2
If you were looking for early signs that Prime Day 2025 would live up to expectations or even blow them out of the water, this was definitely one of them: Apple's top-rated AirPods Pro 2 took a massive 40% dive to their lowest price since last Black Friday. The best in-ear buds in Apple's lineup dropped to just $149 — and even though Prime Day is over, this incredible deal is still here. Apple has always been notoriously reluctant to offer deep discounts on their flagship products, so savvy shoppers have learned to keep a close eye on Amazon and other third-party sellers, especially around huge events like Prime Day. And if this lingering 40% off deal on the AirPods Pro 2 is any indication, bargain hunters still have time to celebrate. See at Amazon Saying the AirPods Pro 2 are Apple's best wireless earbuds ever is setting up a huge set of expectations, and yet it seems to be a nearly universal opinion. The AirPods Pro 2 have an average Amazon rating of 4.6 out of 5 stars from over 30,000 buyer, and the pro reviewers have been equally effusive with their praise. Apple took their popular AirPods Pro and upgraded their battery life — now up to 30 hours — and design while maintaining the popular, sleek trademark look. They're also more comfortable than the previous version, with four sets of silicon ear tips for a customized fit. The real key improvements came from the introduction of the H2 chip and driver by Apple. With a new, advanced brain, the AirPods Pro 2 make enormous leaps ahead from both its competitors and its Apple predecessors in noise cancellation, overall audio sound, performance during phone calls, and more. Among the best new features of the AirPods Pro 2 is the personalized spatial audio that detects the shape of your ear and movements of your head and uses those to deliver an optimized surround-sound experience. The crisply sharp high notes and booming low notes are tailored precisely for your use. The microphone also received a significant upgrade, now paired with voice-isolation technology so your voice comes through loud and clear on calls regardless of your surroundings. One of the great challenges of Prime Day was figuring out where to start — there were so many incredible deals it was hard to decide which one to run for first. Prime Day may be over, but this 40% off deal on the Apple AirPods Pro 2 is still alive, bringing them down to just $149 — their lowest price since Black Friday. See at Amazon
