Shoppers from all over the city rushed to the store to snap up quality clothing at pre-war prices in Ireland's first 'shopping frenzy'. During the excitement, a window was forced in and the police had to be called to help control the crowds hoping to bag founder Ben Dunne's 'Better Value' bargains. Dunnes later opened more stores in the 1950s and began to sell groceries in 1960 - starting with apples and oranges. The retailer said: "Fruit was expensive at the time and Ben Dunne yet again offered Better Value than anyone else in town. "Over time, our food selection has grown and that spirit of good value has remained strong. "Now we offer a wide range of carefully-sourced foods from both local Irish suppliers and overseas." The retailer's first Dublin store opened its doors in 1957 on Henry Street and a super store on South Great Georges Street was unveiled in 1960. They added: "In 1971, our first Northern Irish store opened, and many others soon followed. "Expansion continued in the 1980s in Spain, and later into Scotland and England." Dunnes now has 142 stores and employs 15,000 people.

But it doesn't stop there - Both Molly-Mae and the Kardashians aren't shy about showing off their lavish lifestyles, regularly sharing snaps of their travels with their millions of followers.

Some fans felt the brand's style was a little too similar to Kim's KKW Beauty range, calling it a 'knock-off.' The advertising campaign featured models lounging in nude underwear, which reminded many of the imagery Kim used to promote her shapewear line. Even the group shots, with women posing together and parts of their bodies cropped out, had some fans drawing parallels to Kim's iconic aesthetic. "This is such a knockoff of KKW," told a social media user. Another tagged Molly and said: "@mollymaehague I think Kim kardashian has done the exact same picture for her skims range but well done on your product."

However, the pricing raised eyebrows, with a strapless mini dress costing £110 and a black trench coat retailing at £215, leaving many shoppers stunned – much like the reaction to Molly-Mae's previous ventures. The faux leather range also faced criticism from fashion fans on social media, with many comparing it to affordable brands like Boohoo.

On one of her posts, a fan commented: 'Molly-Mae, I literally had to do a double take here. I thought this was Kylie Jenner!" Both stars share a love for timeless wardrobe staples, often opting for neutral tones like black, white, cream, and grey. And, much like her American counterpart, Molly-Mae has moved away from bold Louis Vuitton and Balenciaga pieces, favouring the more refined styles of Chanel and Hermès Birkin bags. Since launching Maebe, Molly-Mae has frequently been spotted posing with her Hermès Birkin 35 – a bag Kylie is also famously obsessed with. Kylie, who was gifted a $100k Hermès Birkin by her mother Kris Jenner, boasts an impressive collection of the luxury bags, including one adorned with diamonds.

The reality star explained how she took inspiration from Pinterest and Khloe Kardashian as she pointed out how her gym leggings and sports bras were being hung up. Moving on, she went through her T-shirts, jeans, hoodies, blazers and dresses before explaining she used to have more clothes before having a good clear out when she moved.

Both of their homes reflect a sophisticated yet understated elegance through clean lines, open spaces, and carefully selected furnishings. And to prevent the interiors from appearing too plain, they incorporate textures such as marble, wood, or soft furnishings to add depth and warmth. Additionally, they both prioritise comfort and luxury, with plush sofas, cosy cushions, and high-quality fabrics.

Following a 2021 break-in at her home, she has been particularly cautious about showcasing her wealth, especially now that she often has her daughter, Bambi, with her. Molly-Mae is said to be mindful of what happened to Kim Kardashian in Paris in 2017, when Kim was left traumatised after being tied up and held at gunpoint in her apartment by thieves who stole her jewellery, including a £3.5 million 20-carat engagement ring. While Molly-Mae enjoys sharing her life with her fans, she is taking extra precautions to ensure her safety. 31 Kylie Jenner holding her son, Aire Credit: Instagram / Kylie Jenner 31 Molly-Mae, Bambi, Fury and her first birthday party Credit: Instagram Molly-Mae Hague - Five Ways She Spends Her Wealth MOLLY-MAE Hague has raked in a whopping £48K a week.
