Back to Emily Atack's top pick, many shoppers have been gushing over the Paloma dress for its impeccable cut and handy pockets.
One shopper said: "I'm 5'5" and a size 14 and I bought the 14R. I absolutely love this dress; the print is joyous and the style is very flattering."

Recently, Natalie claimed Paloma had tormented her at school, but revealed she is now gutted about the interaction. The soap star recently spoke on her podcast Life With Nat about growing up with Paloma. She claimed: "Paloma Faith, she bullied me at school. She went to Islington Green and was in the year above me. We've spoken about it and she has said sorry about that. Gutted." Now, a previous post on Twitter /X by Paloma has resurfaced, which shows the Only Love Can Hurt Like This singer saying she too was targeted at the London school. The upload from 2012 read: "Yes I got bullied at school. I had braces and before that, wonky teeth." Speaking of her school experience, Paloma previously told The Standard how her teachers helped her in her career growing up. "They were very encouraging to me. I was put in the Hackney Gazette because it was a failing school and I got all As at GCSE." She went on to say she didn't receive any formal musical training despite her school days inspiring her creative nature. "I did it all myself," she claimed at the time. "I had no famous parents, no stage school, no BRIT School." Now, Paloma admits that despite her huge success, she has no fears of being cancelled. In March, she explained that she believes her upbringing has placed her 'on the right side of ethics and morals' and that she can navigate 'cancel culture' with ease. The star believes her frank views and wild tales won't land her in trouble. She explained to The Sun in March how she avoids scandal, declaring: "I'm not worried about being cancelled at all. "I am pretty cocky about my morals and my ethics. I feel like my politics and everything I've done is OK. "I was raised by a socialist in a multicultural environment, with gay, straight, trans, drag queens, everyone, all around me." She continued: "Most people getting called out are straight white men, isn't it? They deserve it. "You can't just go around grabbing people's bums and dropping drugs in women's drinks or f***ing shouting homophobic abuse at people and then not expect it to come back on you."

One of the participants will also earn the chance to sell their collection via Asos. A further partnership will be between Asos and Graduate Fashion Week, which will work together to scout graduating emerging talent to co-create exclusive collections for the Asos e-commerce site. With this, Asos said it is sponsoring the fashion week's Styling and Creative Direction Award in honour of former creative director, Sarah McGreevy. Finally, Asos will continue to support The Sourced Collection, with which it will unveil a new collaborative capsule of 14-pieces, each co-designed by both teams and sold via Asos.
