Michelle Keegan shows off her figure in a high street Sicilian-inspired dress
The yellow bandeau maxi dress has 'holiday to Italy' written all over it...
Looking at Michelle Keegan, you'd never know she only gave birth a couple of months ago. The star looks like the epitome of health and happiness in new holiday snaps from her sun-soaked escape to Spain with her husband, Mark Wright, and baby daughter Palma. And though we have plenty of questions we'd like to ask Michelle – largely to do with her hair, skincare and fitness regime – we also instantly needed to know where her gorgeous yellow crochet dress is from.
Posing for a sunset snap, Michelle pens the caption: "Wore my latest Very collection every night on holiday, which was perfect because my holiday packing was done months ago".
Though she hasn't yet shared the link to the dress, we can confirm the exact piece is Very's Crochet Bandeau Midaxi Dress from Michelle own summer 2025 collection. The f lattering midaxi will set you back £80, despite looking like it could be a designer piece for hundreds of pounds more.
If there's one way to channel holiday glow without hopping on a plane, it's slipping into Michelle's crochet dress. Drenched in a sunshine-yellow hue that practically radiates serotonin, this fitted and flattering number is the gown equivalent of golden hour. The bandeau neckline is perfect for showing off bronzed shoulders, and the crochet texture gives it a Mediterranean holiday feel. Like you've nipped into a fancy boutique and picked up the latest dress.
Fit-wise, it's a knockout. The flattering fit-and-flare silhouette hugs in all the right places (your waist), while the midaxi length keeps it classy enough for a posh lunch or a rooftop cocktail party. Whether you're pairing it with strappy heels or dressing it down with espadrilles, it's one of those rare pieces that does all the talking while you sip your spritz.
Though Michelle might be inclined to share her love for the piece since it has her name on it, customers don't have the same loyalty – and they're still sharing how much they love the holiday essential dress.
One happy buyer pens: "This is such a lovely dress .it's such a lovely colour and fit and I cant wait to wear it to a wedding i have in Sicily."
Another adds: "Bought this for summer party. Arrived promptly and is better than I expected. Size is accurate and quality is exceptional, zip is almost invisible and lining attached to the crochet all signs of a well made item. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend this dress to everyone," while a third points out that the crochet "isn't for her", but that it's still a lovely piece.
We've been keenly keeping an eye on Michelle this past month to see if we can get any new-mum styling tips from her, and so far we've been treated some great outfit links to rival this one. Just the other week, she stepped out wearing Very's Faux Suede Blonde Jacket, £60 online, and had us all running to pick up our own version of it. So if all this rain means you've been looking for a new lightweight jacket, Michelle's faux suede piece is the perfect way to nail the suede trend. Soft, stylish and easily layerable, it's got a vintage-meets-modern style that all the top fashion girls are loving right now.
Away from Michelle's wardrobe, we're also loving Good Morning Britain presenter Susanna Reid's Faye Double Cloth Dress from Boden. She wore it this week to host the morning show, and highlighted its striking floral print in hues of blue, yellow, red, pink and green.

How we all played a part in the creation of Michelle Mone

Learn More Sorry, there seem to be some issues. Please try again later. Submitting... Sometimes the past comes back to haunt you. I was about 20 minutes into watching the BBC's new Michelle Mone documentary when a familiar figure appeared on screen. More than 20 years ago I presented a series called 'The Talent' focussing on prominent Scots. Each episode followed an individual at home and work to try to understand the secrets of their success. The cast included chef Gordon Ramsay, actor Brian Cox, yachtswoman Shirley Robertson and a young entrepreneur from the East End of Glasgow. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad This was still the early stage of the Michelle Mone story. The business was growing fast but had not yet become international or controversial. Michelle Mone shows off her OBE, awarded at an investiture ceremony at Buckingham Palace in 2010 (Picture: Dominic Lipinski/WPA pool) | Getty Images Button to summon butler I remember filming in cramped offices in a back street in Glasgow where boxes of Ultimo bras were piled high. Michelle was friendly and upbeat. Wearing her own product, she prodded her chest. 'It feels just like breast tissue. Have a feel if you want?' I declined the invitation. We were keen to film with her at home, to try to understand how she balanced raising a young family and working alongside her husband in the business, but that territory was firmly off limits. Instead we were offered the chance to catch up at Claridge's in London where Michelle was picking up an award. In her suite upstairs, she talked about her pride in moving from humble beginnings in Dennistoun to the plush surroundings of a luxury West End hotel. I recall her excitedly showing me a button on the wall that allowed her to summon her own butler. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Back then, there were no difficult questions to ask. The story was what it was. More than 20 years on, things are very different. The bra business has been sold, the old husband has been replaced by a billionaire and Michelle from Dennistoun is now Lady Mone of Mayfair. PPE Medpro, a company she is linked to, is also the subject of a National Crime Agency investigation over the supply of PPE during the pandemic. She denies doing anything wrong. A girl-power narrative Hindsight's a wonderful thing but there is no doubt Michelle Mone's rise to fame should have had tougher scrutiny at the time, but her apparent success was taken at face value. I suspect the problem was that many people wanted to believe the story. At a time when business was still driven by middle-aged men in suits, here was a young woman who possessed few qualifications but did have a seemingly endless supply of drive, determination and ambition. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad She wanted to build a good life for herself and her family and to be the woman to make a better product for women than the one currently being designed and marketed by men. What's not to like about that? She also emerged at a time when Page 3 was in decline and newspapers were under pressure to reduce their use of salacious photos of the female form. Then along came a female entrepreneur actively pushing images of women in underwear as part of a girl-power narrative. The whole thing was a gift.

Inside Michelle Keegan and Mark Wright's £1,300 a night luxurious Spanish holiday resort hidden away in the countryside with baby daughter Palma
With suites costing £1,350 a night and everything you could need within its grounds, it's no wonder Michelle Keegan and Mark Wright chose a reclusive hotel hidden away in the Spanish countryside for their first holiday with baby daughter Palma. The new parents, who welcomed baby Palma in March, are staying at the five-star Sotogrande Spa & Golf Resort Hotel in Andalusia. First opened in 1962, today Sotogrande is considered to be one of the most luxurious hotels in Europe. Each room at the resort has a modern, contemporary design featuring art by local artists and boasts its own private balcony or terrace. Michelle and Mark are likely to be enjoying the SO/Suite, which is an impressive 1,001 sqft room, with separate living and sleeping areas. With its king size bed and a sofa bed, a ultra-relaxing rain shower, the room looks out at the stunning Resort Gardens while daylight also floods the room with floor-to-ceiling windows. A stay in the suite will cost approximately £1,350 a night, while twin rooms at the resort are £300. Sotogrande's spa hosts an addictive view of the Mediterranean Sea and features a Hammam, sauna and indoor pool. Its wellness centre offers a state-of-the-art gym, a 'Beauty Grooming Boutique' and treatment cabins. With three restaurants and multiple bars on-site, the resort also offers numerous activities within its grounds, such as their Beach Club that offers a coastal experience, an infinity bar, shopping boutiques, horse riding and polo, racquet and cycling. In a message to guests on their website, the hotel says: 'We're bringing it back with local craftsmanship, contemporary art, and handpicked décor. 'This is a modern luxury retreat with a very special local energy.' Sotogrande is also home to two nine-hole courses, with its third currently being transformed into a state-of-the-art golfing academy, as well as an infinity pool, numerous drinking and eating establishments and a spa with everything you could want. MailOnline's Sam Lawley previously visited the Spanish resort for a game of golf on its impressive course. He said: 'Despite the lofty expectations, Sotogrande provided surprises around every corner and the blending of gentle tree-lined undulations with towering, intimidating mountains meant that the view from every tee was unique. 'The water is fun, the fairways are like carpets and the greens are a rollercoaster ride. It is everything you could ask for in a course. 'At €400 a round, it is not somewhere you can go every summer, but even if you play it just once, the picture postcard images will stay in your head for a long time.' Michelle Keegan looked sensational as she shared snaps from the retreat to Instagram on Thursday. Michelle also took the opportunity to share Palma's sweet nickname with followers as she captioned the post: 'Princess P's first family holiday'. The actress, who celebrated her birthday earlier this week, looked sensational in a skimpy black bikini as she gazed adoringly at her first child while shielding her from the sun beneath an umbrella. Michelle later slipped into a crochet dress while teasing a glimpse of her swimwear beneath. Beaming for the camera Michelle wore shades and a straw hat as she pushed Palma in her pram. Earlier in the week, doting parents Michelle and Mark were spotted out with their daughter in Marbella as they celebrated the actress's birthday. Michelle was cradling her little girl, three months, in her arms as they strolled along together - looking every inch the picture perfect family. The couple welcomed t heir first child together on March 6 and then announced the news on their respective Instagram pages a week later. Michelle looked lovely in a white lace co-ord from her Very collection, which included a white applique shirt and a pair of matching shorts. She boosted her frame with flip flop style heels and accessorised with gold hoop earrings, wearing her brunette hair in a low ponytail. Her daughter was wearing a sweet pale yellow two-piece. Meanwhile, former TOWIE star Mark was dressed in all black for their evening out, sporting a short-sleeved shirt with linen trousers. The couple welcomed their first child together on March 6 and then announced the news on their respective Instagram pages a week later Michelle then modelled a stunning yellow dress from her own Very collection Michelle showed off the stunning SO/ Sotogrande Spa & Golf Resort Hotel He completed the ensemble with black Birkenstock sandals and a chain necklace. The outing came as Michelle shared a rare sneak peek of her baby daughter, she uploaded an adorable black and white photo of Palma's feet, she wrote: 'Yep... my toes.' Michelle and Mark have been enjoying their time as parents and have been sharing small glimpses of Palma on their social media accounts. It's believed the couple chose the name Palma because of their strong links to Mallorca, which has been their go-to holiday destination for years and the setting for their pregnancy reveal photoshoot. Michelle married Mark in May 2015 and the couple live together in a £3.5 million Essex mansion they built from scratch. Chatting with his best friend and fellow dad Olly Murs on his Heart Breakfast show, TOWIE star Mark recalled the moment he first held his newborn daughter in his arms. Mark fought back emotions as he said: 'Mate, it's actually hard to put into words. 'It's the biggest achievement of my life it's all I think about but obviously, hats go off to my wife she is an absolute superhuman, a superhero for bringing this baby into the world.' Sharing his appreciation for Michelle, he added: 'It makes you realise what our mums did for us and makes me have so much more respect than I already had and what women had to go through. 'It's the best feeling in the world. I wake up every morning just so excited to see her face.' Recalling the first moment he held Palma, he continued: 'That moment when I held her in my arms, it gets me emotional now thinking about it.' Mark added: 'I suppose everything else goes out the window and its made me realise what life is all about and my little baby Palma I love you so much and I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you.

Affordable holiday island for Brits with white sand beaches and Dubai-like restaurants that is loved by celebs
CYPRUS has been an affordable holiday destination for Brits for years, and it's popular with celebrities too. With white sandy beaches, delicious food, and beautiful villas, it's no surprise that one beloved British singer even has a holiday home there. 6 6 Over the years, the likes of Leonardo DiCaprio, Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones have been spotted on the sunny island. There have also been lots of British holidaymakers there like Kerry Katona, James Blunt, and Peter Andre - who has a strong connection to Cyprus that 20 years ago, he decided to build his own holiday home there. In the city of Larnaca on the southeast coast of Cyprus, Peter has a villa with five bedrooms, a swimming pool and tennis court. Talking to Sun Travel about his holiday home in Larnaca, Peter said: "The house is so beautiful and private. Obviously the smells, the foods, it reminds me of my childhood and my parents. "I bought the land 20 odd years ago and I said 'dad, here's the money to build it' and my dad spent three years building the most beautiful house. "It's very sentimental to us and the other thing is there are some amazing beaches with bright white sand." As for where to go, Peter added: "I like to go to quiet places. I don't really like to go where it's crazily busy. "The food there is amazing and we love the restaurants. For anyone going to Larnaca, I have three recommendations. One is a new restaurants called Theta in Perivolia which is very near the airport. It does Mediterranean food, but done in the style of a Dubai 5-star restaurant. "We go there and we're like 'why doesn't anyone know about this place?'" Peter also loves to go to a Japanese restaurant called Nippon. All the free activities Cyprus has to offer 6 He also added: "There's another one called Opa Souvlaki Kiti, it's not fancy, but if you want a proper Greek kebab done the Cypriot way, go there." Peter stayed tight-lipped about the quiet beaches he and his family head to on holiday. But some of the most popular across the island according to Tripadvisor are Nissi Beach, Fig Tree Bay Beach, Coral Bay and Makronissos Beach. For anyone who fancies a trip over to Cyprus, you can even book a stay in Peter's Villa Amelia which is a short drive from Larnaca Airport. Inside is five bedrooms, each one sleeping two people. The rooms have queen beds or single beds, and their own en suites. The shared spaces include huge living area with two sets of sofas, as well as a separate dining and kitchen area. Outside, there's lots of places to relax by the pool or battle it out in a game of tennis. 6 It's a great time to go to Larnaca too as TravelSupermarket revealed earlier this year that the city is cheaper this year compared to 2024. Larnaca, a city on the southeast coast of Cyprus, has emerged as the holiday destination with the biggest price drop. According to TravelSupermarket, the holiday comparison website, prices of a holiday to Larnaca have fallen by £495 per person. The average price in 2024 was £1,292.04 and in 2025 is £797.97 - a 38 per cent decrease. Flights from the UK take just over four hours and you can book flights with Ryanair from £34.99. There's another place a little further afield that Peter described as 'a kids' paradise' - as he discovers the world's most child-friendly holiday destination. And here's the Dubai-like spa hotel in the UK where Peter Andre and wife Emily go on child-free weekends. 6
