How to look slimmer this summer: A top fashion editor reveals the four most stylish dress brands for women over size 16
A revolution is under way on the High Street. For far too long, plus-size clothing has been treated as an afterthought - which is odd, considering that 'plus size' is defined as anything above a UK 16, the average size in Britain.

Cruz Beckham, 20, pokes fun at his hilarious £410 Prada tight white pants look after mimicking dad David as his brother Romeo trolls him with cheeky response
Cruz Beckham poked fun at his hilarious tight white pants look in a new Instagram snap on Thursday after he playfully mimicked his father David. The youngest Beckham son, 20, stripped down to $550 (£410) white Prada budgie smugglers during the family yacht trip around St Tropez on Wednesday. He appeared to have borrowed the look from his father David, who has been spotted wearing a strikingly similar pair on other holidays as recently as last year. Cruz's look was also reminiscent of David's iconic Armani underwear campaigns, where he has previously worn white briefs to show off his muscular frame. His older brother Romeo, 22, savaged the joker with a cheeky response in his comments, writing 'Jesus' which sparked a wave of replies from fans who appeared to all think the same thing. Cruz captioned the post: 'Spreadin em' [sic] Cruz kept the smuggler pants on for a spin around the bay on a wakeboard, showing off his water sports skills before flaunting his musical talent with a guitar session. He frolicked on the sun deck with his bikini-clad girlfriend Jackie Apostel, 29, before diving into the water. Following his dip in the sea, he could be seen chatting with Romeo, who was also on the annual family holiday in St Tropez this week. David and Victoria's estranged son Brooklyn, 26, is the only Beckham child not on the getaway, having spent the week before in the same location with his wife Nicola Peltz, 30, and his in-laws. The eldest Beckham son looked to be missing out on a fun-filled trip, as the other offspring made the most of their trip together. Brooklyn has left the south of France to return to the U.S, where he was spotted looking glum on an outing in New York with his wife and mother-in-law, Claudia, on Tuesday. On Wednesday he shared 'glum' pictures of himself waiting for Nicola in a changing room while she tried on clothes. He narrowly avoided a run in with his family in Francve amid their ongoing feud, after both families were pictured in the same port just days apart. Cruz looked to be serenading his partner as she lay in the sun Cruz launched into an impressive dive into the water below Romeo was seen playing with a ball on the deck Romeo and Harper, 14, originally joined their parents Victoria, 51, and David, 50, for some time away, before they were later joined by Cruz and Jackie. Cruz and Jackie looked totally relaxed as they sunbathed together on the yacht, which is named Seven after Harper's middle name and David's football shirt number. While they kicked back together, Victoria was spotted on the top deck, also topping up her tan in the sunshine. Brooklyn and Nicola have continued to keep away amid an ongoing family feud, as the pair lived it up on a £85million vessel that dwarfs his parents' close by last week. The family has been thrown into turmoil in recent months as it has been claimed Brooklyn has become increasingly estranged from his famous parents after failing to attend any of his father David's 50th birthday celebrations in May. The couple traded in their £5million yacht for the much bigger vessel last year, and had been pictured on it sailing around Miami. The impressive looking vessel, understood to be worth £16million, was a significant upgrade on the comparatively modest 100-foot yacht reportedly purchased by Beckham in 2022. The football legend was said to have 'treated himself' to his original vessel in 2022 after being inspired by his maritime jaunts with close friends Sir Elton John and David Furnish - who often holiday at sea. Cruz and Jackie have been dating since April 2024 The two brothers chatted away on the boat with Cruz's girlfriend Jackie David popped up from behind the side of the boat The group looked to be having a great time together He dried off with a white fluffy towel Cruz was seen leaving for his wakeboard session A source told The Sun at the time: 'David had a look around some yachts in the summer, and decided to treat himself. He helped design the boat himself, and has been incredibly hands-on with everything. 'It's not an oligarch-style superyacht, but it's still pretty plush by anyone's standards. He was inspired after holidaying with Elton and David on their boat - and loves life on the water. 'There will be an area for the kids to snorkel, and the boat will be a brilliant base for the whole Beckham clan to have magical holidays abroad.' Earlier this week, Victoria gave a rare insight into her feelings about estranged son Brooklyn with a telling social media move. The former Spice Girl has proved she is still keeping tabs on her eldest son's moves by 'liking' several of his social media facts. Notably, in the three-weeks spanning July 5 and July 26 - she liked every single one of his posts that didn't feature Nicola. All posts in which he was seen with his wife, were not acknowledged by Victoria. It is possible that these posts - four out of the 16 - were simply not seen by her. Victoria has not liked any of Nicola's posts in the same time period. Nor have the Lola actress and Brooklyn liked any of Victoria's. Jackie and Cruz had previously been holidaying together The couple enjoyed the summer heat from the boat Cruz had a white towel around his shoulders Jackie looked sensational in a grey bikini Brooklyn did, however, open up about the only thing he and wife Nicola argue over amid the ongoing feud with his famous family. Despite their troubles, the hunk suggested the couple, who wed in 2023, are still very much in the honeymoon stage and only disagree over the thermostat. He told GQ: 'By the way, that's the only argument me and my wife have, the temperature in the room. She loves it'. 'She runs cold, so she always wants it all hot all the time. I always run hot, and I like to have it a little bit colder, so we meet in the middle.' It was previously revealed that Brooklyn and Nicola's Instagram accounts no longer follow his younger brothers Cruz and Romeo in the latest family drama. However, Brooklyn's friends told Daily Mail that Cruz and Romeo have actually blocked them on the social media platform. This would make sense given that Brooklyn and Nicola are still following Victoria and David. Cruz and Romeo were still following Brooklyn and Nicola earlier this month but appeared to take action after Brooklyn posted a birthday tribute to sister Harper, sharing a family photo without them in it – which Nicola reposted. There was much speculation whether Brooklyn would reach out to Harper on her 14th birthday, but despite him doing so, it seems all is not well in the camp. Brooklyn's birthday tribute to Harper marked his first public interaction with his family since he paid tribute to his grandmother Sandra on June 26, despite remaining silent and shunning his father's 50th birthday earlier that same month. Sources close to the family have told Daily Mail of their fears that Brooklyn and his wife Nicola have also distanced themselves from Harper after they failed to visit her when they flew into London in May to film an advert for French-Italian clothing brand Moncler just over a mile from the family home in Holland Park. David and Victoria had no idea whether Brooklyn, who Harper has idolised since she was a little girl, would message her privately or publicly on Instagram because they have no communication with him.

Katie Price's daughter Princess Andre stuns in sunkissed snaps from Mexico holiday after huge designer shopping haul
PRINCESS Andre looked utterly sun-kissed in glowing new snaps from her holiday in Mexico. The young fashion and beauty influencer cut a stylish figure wearing a V-neck mini dress featuring both leopard and zebra prints. 5 Princess, 18, matched the outfit with layers of silver necklaces, sparkly silver sandals, and a small Louis Vuitton handbag. The daughter of Peter Andre and Katie Price wore her hair down in flowing waves that framed her face and soft-glam makeup. This was the perfect look for going out, or perhaps Princess was returning home to the evening-lit accommodation behind her. Fans of the fashionista flocked to Instagram with compliments on her glowing skin and outfit. 'Sunkissed', one fan commented, followed by emojis of the sun, the Mexican flag and a palm tree. Another replied: 'Aww lovely pics of you Princess, true beauty inside and out.' The photos come only a day after Princess admitted online that she splurged on a designer shopping haul. 'My bank account hates me', Princess shared on her Snapchat story showing the boot of a car loaded up with shopping bags from brands including Louis Vuitton, Sephora and Charlotte Tilbury. She later went on to show off her new £2k Louis Vuitton bag in another story, clasping it with both hands and holding it up to the camera. The 18-year-old has had a very successful year so far, including passing her driving test and landing her own reality TV show set to launch on ITV. Princess Andre hits back at money-shaming trolls who claim 'Peter and Katie Price bought her £10k motor as first car' Princess purchased her own car earlier in the year - an Audi A1 - determined to work hard and do things for herself. In addition to this, Princess has already signed many large-figure deals with clothing and beauty brands including Superdrug, Morphe, and Revolution, with the goal to become a millionaire by the age of 20. She previously said: 'I want to achieve so many things and be my own person. It's about taking my time, figuring it out as I go. I know I want to be very successful.' And it seems her efforts are paying off, as Tatler Magazine named Princess as the second best dressed celebrity for 2025. She was beaten by high society sisters Lady Lola Bute & Jazzy De Lisser, who took the top spot, while the Top 10 also featured Rocco Ritchie and Zara Tindall. 5 5
