Victoria's Secret £35 crinkle swimsuit looks just like a £175 designer version
The crinkle swimsuit trend made famous by Hunza G is now available on the high street, with Victoria's Secret selling a one-piece for £35
As summer approaches, many of us are fantasising about sun-drenched escapes, poolside Aperols and, naturally, a swimsuit update to match. If you've been captivated by the sleek, stretchy, crinkle-textured bikinis that have taken over social media, you're in good company.
The crinkle trend, spearheaded by cult brand Hunza G, has hit the mainstream, boasting celebrity admirers, vibrant hues, and its signature one-size-fits-most fit. However, with Hunza G's prices starting at £90, it is a costly option.
Fortunately, Victoria's Secret has ushered in its trendy phase with a new swimwear line offering designer vibes at a fraction of the cost. Its latest collection captures all the sculpting, retro-meets-contemporary appeal of the trend without the hefty price tag, reports the Manchester Evening News.
The brand's Dream On bikini top and matching bottoms are crafted from an ultra-stretchy textured scrunch fabric designed to flatter every body shape. Sold separately, the pair costs £101 altogether - still significantly more affordable than Hunza G's £185 version.
Victoria's Secret also offers a one-piece in the same crinkle-style fabric for £35. Compared to Hunza G's £175 crinkle swimsuit at Net-A-Porter, shoppers can save £140.

Product Description
The universally flattering crinkle style is also available as a one-shoulder bikini top in stylish green, black, and red. Two types of bottoms are on offer: high-leg briefs or high-waisted.
Of course, Victoria's Secret isn't the only brand offering budget-friendly crinkle swimsuits. Bravissimo has a stunning swimming costume available in four colours, including a vibrant pink, priced at £75.
Boohoo also has an array of designs, with prices beginning at £8. Our top pick is this belted scoop swimsuit in a playful neon orange; it's bound to turn heads poolside.
Returning to Victoria's Secret, there are currently no reviews for the crinkle swimsuits online, but shoppers can find reviews on Trustpilot of the brand. One reviewer rated the retailer five stars, saying: "Really good items. I have used this brand for 15 years, and I am very happy with every order I make from them."
A second wasn't pleased with their online order, saying: "Purchased a pair of sweatpants around black Friday and the top which was too big, so I washed them and they shrunk. I'm disappointed all that money and they are too darn short."
A third five-star reviewer concludes: "Marvellous lingerie at good prices. I've bought many panties of different styles and colours, and I got for free a very glamorous VS bag. Very fast shipping, easy and fast return. I'm extremely satisfied!"
Back to the crinkle-cut one-piece, it's worth noting that the fabric may be more susceptible to snagging, due to its texture. However, if you're aiming to exude designer swimwear vibes without the hefty price tag, Victoria's Secret could make your summer packing significantly more affordable.

Inside Sue Cleaver's life with ITV colleague husband ahead of Corrie exit
Coronation Street's Sue Cleaver will soon leave the ITV soap. The Eileen Grimshaw star, 59, has played her role in the hit ITV soap since the year 2000, but will soon say goodbye to the show. Not a spotlight-seeker, Sue has previously said of her personal life: 'I do keep my life private and I am very happy with my home life.' But for anyone wondering, who is Sue's husband, and what has she said about him? And does she have any kids? Wake up to find news on your TV shows in your inbox every morning with Metro's TV Newsletter. Sign up to our newsletter and then select your show in the link we'll send you so we can get TV news tailored to you. Sue is married to Brian Owen, a lighting technician for ITV. The couple met on Coronation Street, and left their previous relationships to be together in the early 2000s. They've been together ever since. As of 2019, it seems the pair still work together on the Corrie set, too – as Sue revealed during a segment on This Morning, where she discussed her terrifying battle with sepsis. She said at the time: 'My husband, who also works on Corrie, he was on a night shoot and he had to ring me. 'He said to his colleagues – something's not right, I can't hear what she's saying because her teeth are chattering so much… He rang our daughter-in-law who's a paramedic and she said, 'Get her to hospital'.' The couple share a pup named George Paws, who often features on Sue's Instagram. Sadly, in October last year, the star confirmed the beloved pooch had died. Previously, Sue was married to actor James Quinn from 1993 to 2003, who she met in 1991. Fans might recognise James from roles in soaps including Corrie (as D.S. Willetts), Emmerdale, Hollyoaks, and Doctors, as well as TV series Early Doors and 2017 film Apostasy. The exes appear to get along well, and even put on a play together in 2009 – called Marriages Made In Heaven. James told Manchester Evening News at the time: 'It's quite funny to be doing this with Sue. Although we got divorced, we get on well, but we haven't acted together on stage since we first met in a play in 1991.' Sue has one son, Elliott Quinn, reportedly born in 1998, who she shares with ex-husband James. We don't know much about Elliott, though he did appear at the 2018 British Soap Awards for a rare walk down the red carpet with his mum – though it seems he's now a parent himself. Yep, Sue is also a grandma! She recently took Instagram to reveal she'd become a grandmother for the fourth time, in fact – with a few heart emojis alongside an adorable snap of the newborn baby. It's not entirely clear how many children her husband, Brian, has from previous relationships. Sue is saying goodbye to Coronation Street as she now wants to 'embrace change'. Speaking about her time on the cobbles, Sue said: 'I've had 25 privileged years of working on Coronation Street.' Sue Devaney as Debbie Webster Fans have been left distraught at news of Debbie's upcoming departure, with the character being written out as part of a storyline focusing on dementia. A source told Metro: 'It's one of the show's biggest storylines of the year, and a real chance for Sue to finally get her time in the spotlight – it will just be devastating for fans that it will effectively be her final storyline. 'It's one of many major storylines new boss Kate Brooks has in the bag, and there will not be a dry eye in the house. 'There is no doubt in the Corrie family that she will give the performance of a lifetime and make Debbie's exit one to remember for years.' Sue Cleaver as Eileen Grimshaw Loose Women and I'm A Celebrity star Sue has been central to the show for two and a half decades but now she will be saying goodbye. She confirmed: 'I've had 25 privileged years of working on Coronation Street.' 'The door is still firmly open, but as I reached my 60th year, I decided it was time to embrace change, look for new adventures, and live fearlessly.' Colson Smith as Craig Tinker After 14 years, Corrie has decided to also write out police officer Craig, with the actor sharing his love for the show on social media following the decision, delivered to him last year. He said: 'I've loved every single second of my 14-year stay as a resident on the greatest street in the world. I feel incredibly lucky to have grown up in, on and around Coronation Street. 'I've learnt pretty much everything about life from the people who call it home. I'm excited to play out the exit story for our Craigy. For me, this is just the end of the beginning. 'I genuinely can't wait to see what chapter 2 has in store for me. Long live the cobbles!' Charlotte Jordan as Daisy Midgeley After a very busy four years on the show, Daisy is set to leave as part of a currently to-secret explosive storyline, with Charlotte keen to try other projects. She said in a statement: 'My time at Coronation Street is something I'll always cherish. 'After a brilliant four years for Daisy, it's time for me to start a new chapter and explore other opportunities. 'It's been a privilege to be part of a wonderful institution with even more wonderful colleagues who have taught me so much.' Shelley King as Yasmeen Metcalfe After 10 years, Yasmeen will be departing the cobbles - and she has already filmed her final scenes in December, so expect her last episode soon. Metro understands that she won't be killed off. A show insider has clarified: 'Shelley spoke to producers early last year and advised that after 10 years on the show and being involved in many major storylines during the past decade she had decided the time has come for her to explore other opportunities. 'Shelley is an accomplished stage and television actress and we fully understand her desire to take her career in another direction after 10 years playing the same role. 'She filmed her final scenes in December.' Paddy Bever as Max Turner With Paddy having filmed his final scenes, it is expected he will leave in spring. 'After much reflection and in an incredibly difficult decision, I have chosen to step away from Max, and Coronation Street , to explore new opportunities. I have been surrounded by such kindness and support every step of the way, Paddy, 22, said in a statement. Talking to The Mirror, he added: 'It's been a great privilege to contribute to the legacy of such a well-loved and iconic show. This chapter has been unforgettable and while I look forward to what lies ahead, I will treasure these memories.' 'The door is still firmly open, but as I reached my 60th year, I decided it was time to embrace change, look for new adventures, and live fearlessly,' Sue added. More Trending It is understood that she made the decision in the summer, after her appearance in the Sister Act musical tour. She returned to the stage for the first time in about three decades. Sue's final scenes as Eileen will air in tonight's (June 6) episode of the ITV soap, which is available to watch on ITVX right now. Eileen's final storyline has seen her deal with the death of her sister Julie Carp (Katy Cavanagh) and recently, she was surprised with the return of her son Jason Grimshaw (Ryan Thomas).

Boots' 'summer holiday' perfume slashed to £10 in big online sale
Boots shoppers are swiftly grabbing 'summer in a bottle' perfumes, now reduced to a mere £10 apiece amid an extensive online clearance. While £10 perfumes may make you think of small, non-branded bottles, these are quite the opposite, as they're large ones from a well-known design house. Available on the Boots website, this fragrance assortment encompasses everything from daily spritzes to more audacious cornerstone scents. And up until the 17th June, they're all discounted, with prices kicking off at £10. One fragrance, Comfy Vibes, originally priced at £23, is now available for only £10 and is attracting glowing testimonials: This shopper remarked: "This scent is the perfect transition perfume from winter to hot weather. It's such a light, fresh scent with a hint of the summer holiday. The perfume strength is strong but not overpowering. The package is so sleek and cute, screaming summer and fun." Adidas describes Comfy Vibes as a soothing and warm fragrance which melds vanilla and mandarin with a splash of orange essential oil, creating a sweet yet appropriately summery aura. It's spot-on for those seeking a daily fragrance or wishing to mix it with something richer for nocturnal escapades. For those pondering Father's Day options, Full Recharge might claim your attention, now available for £16 (down from £23). This concoction marries the earthiness of basil and sage with vivifying cedar lead tones for a scent that evokes athleticism and vitality without excessive piquancy, reports the Manchester Evening News. Housed in eye-catching gradient bottles, the perfumes evoke a summer vibe, with options such as the coastal-inspired Chill Zone and the ocean-hued Energy Drive, now available for £16 and £10, respectively, down from their original £23 price tag. If you're looking for more affordable perfume deals, there are plenty out there - including lots of options for Father's Day. The Perfume Shop often offers decent sales on a wide range of products, from Tommy Hilfiger to Diesel. Superdrug also has some great offers right now. That includes significant discounts on Hugo Boss' Bottled Night, now £52 from £119, and Carolina Herrera's 212 VIP Men Black, which is reduced to £32 from £55. Regarding Adidas' perfumes, reviews highlight their appealing qualities. One reviewer praised Comfy Vibe, saying: "I love this Adidas scent. It's strong, and it lasts the whole day. It's good value for money if you compare it to other expensive brands, and the packaging is cute, too." However, another user noted: "I love how light and pleasant it feels on the skin. However, the downside is that the fragrance doesn't last very long." A third reviewer appreciated the scent, saying: "This scent is the perfect transition perfume from summer to autumn. It's such a warm, cosy scent with a hint of summer. The perfume strength is strong but not overpowering. "The package is so sleek and cute and is autumn and summer merged. I will buy it again." One satisfied customer commented: "I have been using this for a while now, and I am a big fan - it smells so good and is extremely versatile. I find it 100% suitable for everyone as it has an invigorating fresh scent that takes me back to nature and greenery." However, another buyer was less enthusiastic, stating: "It was a lovely smelling spray, but it wasn't strong enough to have people around me notice." In contrast, a third reviewer raved about the product: "This is such an amazing aftershave. It's perfect for my dad! It has a nice, strong scent and is great for use on the go! The smell lasts long and comes in a nice bottle! The price for this is amazing, and I will be purchasing again soon."

BBC EastEnders star breaks silence on 'upsetting' exit as final scenes filmed
EastEnders star Clair Norris has spoken out for the first time since it was announced that she would be leaving the BBC soap after eight years in the role of Bernie Taylor. EastEnders star Clair Norris has confessed her departure from the show is "upsetting" as she opened up about leaving her role as Bernie Taylor for the first time. She first joined the BBC soap in 2017 and has seen her on-screen family members leave over the years. With her character being axed this summer, her final scenes were filmed in April and will air later this year. At the British Soap Awards in London last week, Clair said: "Obviously it's upsetting. I'd been there for eight years, which is a long time to play a character, and I have absolutely loved being in the show." She acknowledged the experience she gained while working on EastEnders reports the Manchester Evening News, stating: "They gave me the opportunity to learn on the job and also now I am able to take that onto other things that I do." She continued in her conversation with the Sun: "Of course it's sad but at the same time it felt like a natural end, with the Taylors being gone, it kind of felt right. I'm now very excited about the future." Clair felt that the decision to write out her character was inevitable after the rest of the Taylor family left Albert Square. She revealed that she kept some of Bernie's belongings as mementos, including her iconic coat, a Walford Pride t-shirt, and a birthday badge. The specifics of her character's departure are being kept secret and firmly under wraps for now, but Clair hinted that Bernie will once again show off her more mischievous side. She teased: "My exit is very Bernie, and it's back to bad Bernie. It's very dramatic, and must-watch. I've already filmed my exit and it will play out later this summer." When questioned about whether viewers can expect to see Bernie's mum Karen Taylor return to the show, Clair remained tight-lipped, saying: "I couldn't possibly say!"Maybe, maybe not, you'll all have to watch." Clair's plans following her departure from the show are uncertain, as she said: "My plan is to work out what I want to do. 'EastEnders' is the only thing I've ever done, so all I know is soap. I came from college and went straight into it. "I'm open to anything. I've just been on holiday which was great and the perfect timing. And now I'm back it's about getting cracking with show reels and self tapes." Elsewhere on the BBC soap, fans are convinced that Zack Hudson and Lauren Branning will fall pregnant after they shared a passionate night together. Also in the Square, Lauren Branning (Jacqueline Jossa) was harshly confronted by her fiancé Peter Beale's (Thomas Law) anger over their son Jimmy Beale's severe sight impairment diagnosis, blaming Lauren's drug use during pregnancy.
