We've found a £28 alternative that looks just as luxe as Molly-Mae's Miu Miu bag
If you've been eyeing up Molly-Mae's luxe Miu Miu tote but not the price tag, we've found a £28 alternative that gives you the same designer look for way less
Molly-Mae Hague has firmly earned her style icon status, and when she wears something, it usually sells out fast. We couldn't help but notice Molly carrying that dreamy Miu Miu tote you've probably seen other celebs with on her most recent holiday.
Unfortunately, with a price tag of over £1k, coming in at around £1.7k, we can't see the 'Molly-Mae-effect' quite happening with this one.
However, if it's on your wishlist too, but your bank account says otherwise, don't worry. We've found a high-street alternative for £28 that nails the same sleek, minimalist vibe.
The Stone Canvas and Faux Leather Tote Bag from New Look is priced at £27.99, and gives that same Miu Miu aesthetic for a fraction of the price.
This spacious stone-toned canvas bag is the perfect combination of chic and practical. Like the Miu Miu tote, it's big enough to fit your laptop, gym kit or weekend-away essentials, making it the perfect go-to bag for everything from beach holidays to overnight stays, and office days.
The gold hardware and faux leather trims give it a luxe, designer feel, while the press-stud fastening and internal zip pocket keep your essentials secure.
Molly seems to be using her roomy tote as her travel/airport bag, which we think is the perfect place for it as it's so large it can fit everything you need for travelling. It's also great for, if like Molly, you've got children and need a bag big enough to stash all their baby bits.
For other styling tips, we recommend pairing it with linen trousers and a white vest for a clean, off-duty look or throwing it on with a floaty summer dress and sandals for that chic Riviera vibe. Luckily, the neutral colour goes with everything, and the top handles and optional crossbody strap mean you can wear it your way.
If you want to take some more style inspiration from Molly, we found her exact baby blue bikini. The flattering underwired design hails from Monday Swimwear, a brand that also made an appearance in the latest series of The White Lotus.

Frankie Bridge's £39 River Island skirt can be styled 'so many ways'
Frankie Bridge is one of the UK's most stylish women, and is always serving up major fashion inspiration - and this outfit she recently wore is from River Island TV personality and fashion favourite Frankie Bridge has once again proven why she's a go-to for warm-weather style inspiration. In a recent Instagram post, she debuted a look that she hailed as 'perfect' for a city break - and best of all, every piece is from high street favourite River Island. Giving us all the Italian Riviera vibes, Frankie stepped out in River Island's White A-Line Poplin Midi Skirt, which costs £39. White cotton skirts dominated Instagram in summer 2024, and are very much back for 2025, making it a smart investment for anyone looking to build a capsule warm-weather wardrobe. With its elasticated hem and classic midi length, the skirt is as comfortable as it is elegant, made from 100% cotton making it ideal for beating the heat. As we've learned from influencers over the last 12 months, it really is a versatile summer staple, with Frankie noting: 'The skirt can be restyled SO many ways over summer.' Elsewhere, New Look has this White Pleated Midi Skirt for £29.99, while Mango's flared cotton skirt is £45.99, available in white, black or red. At Boden, the Double Cloth Smocked Skirt comes in at £66, but for something more budget friendly, M&S's Pure Cotton Shirred Midi A-Line Skirt is under £30. But the fact that so many high street retailers are stocking them cements them as a go-to trend for the season. The 36-year-old paired the skirt with a Black Sleeveless Textured Trim Bandeau Top for £26. The beaded notch detail and side split hem add an elevated twist to the minimalist bandeau cut, which is an insanely sought-after silhouette this year. Frankie shared her thoughts on the top, saying: 'Love the top and the detailing.' She added: 'If you're on a city break then this is the perfect outfit. Stay cool in the heat but still look put together.' Accessorising the look, she added a Black Mini Raffia Cross Body Tote Bag featuring a front flap with popper fastening, gold branding detail, and a convenient crossbody strap, as well as a pair of Black Toe Thong Wedge Heeled Sandals (£38), ideal for the petite 5'3' presenter with their 12cm heel. Completing the look with the retailer's £14 Black Cat Eye Slim Chain Sunglasses, Frankie commented: 'I feel very chic in this, it's a nice little dinner outfit.' And we couldn't agree more, with both capsule wardrobe staples prime for styling with basically anything you already own. Frankie isn't the only ex-Saturdays singer that's a fan of River Island, though. Rochelle Humes wore the brand's Blue Seam Detail Balloon Leg Jeans, priced at £49 for an episode of This Morning last month. 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." But if it's Frankie's summery skirt you're keen to snap up for your latest getaway, shoppers can take a look here.

Shoppers in love with 'slimming' Roman dress that's perfect for special occasions
The stunning dress features a waist cinching detail, short sleeves and a floor-sweeping skirt, available in nine prints Shoppers are singing the praises of a stylish maxi dress from Roman for its complementary shape and comfortable fit. The garment boasts short sleeves, an accentuating waist feature, and a floor-sweeping skirt. Priced at £48, this eye-catching item is available in an array of colours and patterns, ranging from green polka dots to blue paisley prints, with additional options in purple, blue, teal, and pink floral. Stocks are plentiful, ensuring sizes 10-20 are on hand for most designs, save for the pink ditsy floral version, which is unavailable in sizes 12-14, and the polka dot green not offered in size 20. This dress's adaptability shines through as it pairs seamlessly with heels and a fascinator for a wedding, or can be dressed down with flats for more casual occasions like vacations walks or family gatherings. Fashion aficionados are spoilt for choice with a multitude of print and colour opportunities. If you you want to look around before committing, New Look has lifted the curtain on its much-anticipated summer dress collection, showcasing a gorgeous strappy maxi frock featuring an evergreen black and white gingham motif. Priced at reasonable £34.99, this number is available in a comprehensive range of sizes from 6 to 22. In the realm of wedding attire, White Stuff has presented a sophisticated linen maxi dress drenched in a deep red, peppered with pink swirls. Initially marked at £90, it is now up for grabs at the discounted price of £79.20, ensuring inclusivity with sizes spanning from 6 to 24 and both regular and petite lengths (petite ranging between 6-18). This captivating design boasts quaint frilly short sleeves and a fetching V-neckline. One satisfied customer lauded their green purchase from Roman, writing: " I love my new dress. It's very comfortable and fits perfectly. I love the pockets and the feel of the material. "It hugs my new figure perfectly and makes me feel like summer has finally arrived". Another shopper expressed delight, gushing: "This dress surprised me. The fit is perfect, the length is great, and I'm tall. It's a very slimming design and my favourite colour," as reported by the Liverpool Echo. On the other hand, a shopper spoke of her frustration with an unspecified problem with the Roman Originals garment, complaining: "Because it was a full skirt, I hadn't noticed it when I tried it on. It took me a while to sort it out, very frustrating. "Had I noticed it at the onset, I would have returned it as faulty. "So, ladies, check your hem. Never been disappointed with Roman before." Another shared their gripe: "I loved this dress but was very disappointed with the length. It was far too long. Possibly offer a petite range for us shorter folk." But one chuffed buyer who opted for the navy version revealed: "I fell in love with this dress. It's beautiful and very flattering. I purchased the 16 and found it true to size. "I had 2 1/2 inches taken off the bottom because it was dragging on the floor (I'm 5 foot 6), but there was no way I was sending it back, so it was worth it."

‘I bought 5 Nobody's Child dresses for an event and one got so many compliments'
With a formal awards ceremony in the calendar, I turned to one of my favourite high street fashion brands to see if I could find the perfect dress without breaking the bank Dressing for formal events such as weddings, graduations and evening 'dos can be tricky – you want to meet the dress code yet still be fairly comfortable, and ideally don't want to spend a fortune on an outfit you're unlikely to wear very often. And so when I was invited to a work awards ceremony and found myself with nothing to wear, I immediately clicked onto the Nobody's Child website – a favourite of mine for pretty and flattering dresses for all occasions. I bought five different styles to try on – including one with pockets and a £69 surprise hit – and the one I ended up wearing was a surprise last-minute addition to my basket; it was worth it though, as it received so many compliments from other guests that evening... Red Nova Midi Dress £85 here This colour was a real curveball for me, as I never wear red, and rarely stray from black, however I was really pleasantly surprised by how much I like this colour on me. The dress was super comfortable and gets bonus points for having pockets. I didn't keep it in the end as I felt like it was more of an everyday dress than an evening one, but it has encouraged me to be a bit braver with colour. If you're looking for an alternative, New Look's Red Puff Sleeve Midi Dress is £29.99. Black Ruffle Tiered Cassidy Midi Dress £89 here This is the one that I thought would be my favourite it reminds me of an old favourite Reformation dress I own, but it actually didn't suit me as much as I though when it was on; again, it was too casual for the occasion, and the waistband sat too high on me – under my bust rather than on my waist. It was very light and breezy for summer though, and again, loved the pockets! New Look does another alternative to this here too, the Black Multiway Tiered Midi Dress, priced at £55.99. Black Balloon Sleeve Zola Mini Dress £99 here Something slightly different from the others, but I really loved this one. I loved the flattering balloon sleeves, and how cute it looked with chunky heels. There were two reasons why I didn't pick it, however: one, I thought the hem was a bit short for a work event, and two, I'd be getting ready by myself in a hotel room, and would have no one to tie up the bow on the back for me. This would be great for Christmas parties, though. Topshop clean trapeze mini dress in black, £55, is a similar shape. Black Tiered Clara Midi Dress £69 here I thought I would hate this one as I dislike anything that clings or skims the body, but this was a surprise hit. It's way more flattering and slimming than I thought, plus you can wear a bra with it (unlike most of these other options), and it folds up very small in a suitcase (like this £39 Next dress). It was a close contender, pipped only to the post by... Black Puff Sleeve Zora Midi Dress £130 here ...the Zora dress, which was the one I wore, and which got me so many compliments. I loved the flattering shape, the statement sleeves and the little flash of skin from the slash neck and low back (you can probably still get away with wearing a bra though). Although more expensive than the others, I felt so comfortable in this, and know I'll get loads of wear out of it.
