How to do night-time glamour now
High-octane glamour — think black costumes, a hint of leopard and a metallic sheen — is your baseline this summer for day and night, so sidestep the sundresses and go straight for the plunging gown. Slinging said gown over your favourite bikini is not only acceptable, it's expected. See also, wearing your favourite party shoes to the pool.

Abbey Clancy sets pulses racing in a yellow bikini as she soaks up the sun on a lavish family holiday in Portugal
Abbey Clancy looked incredible in a yellow bikini and coordinated linen shirt as she posed for an Instagram selfie during a family holiday in Almancil, Portugal on Sunday. The model, 39, looked in good spirits as she soaked up the sun in the pastel two-piece by a private swimming pool at a huge luxury villa. Leaving her long blonde tresses loose in waves, Abbey stunned in the bikini which she accessorised by layering two necklaces. She was joined on the sun-soaked getaway by husband Peter Crouch, 44, and their four children - Sophia, 14, Liberty, ten, Johnny, seven, and Jack, six. Last week, the couple put on a very loved-up display as they spent the day at the beach during their holiday in Portugal. Peter and Abbey did not shy away from showing their affections for one another as the couple, who married in 2011, were seen packing on the PDA during a day trip to the beach. Abbey was seen cuddling up to Peter as they shared a kiss, with the former footballer putting on a very amorous display as he smooched his wife. For the day out, Abbey put on a leggy display in a one-shouldered striped cover-up, which she wore over a black bikini. The model shielded her eyes with a pair of dark sunglasses and tucked her golden locks beneath a blue baseball hat to complete her stylish look. Meanwhile, former footballer Peter showed off his muscular frame as he went shirtless in a pair of £240 Vilebrequin blue board shorts with turtles printed on them. The couple jetted off for their sun-soaked holiday just weeks after celebrating their 14th wedding anniversary. They got married at Stapleford Park on June 30, 2011, and renewed their vows in the Maldives to mark their ten-year anniversary. Abbey recently opened up on the way she's kept her marriage to Peter thriving over the years. She admitted the key was 'growing together' throughout time with Peter and always staying 'in sync' with him. 'When we look back at our wedding day, some of the choices we've made, some things we've done in the past, we're like ''Bloody hell, who were we then?'',' the TV star told The Mirror. 'But today? We're still in sync, we've got the same interests and the same things that make us laugh. It's really a happy time for us at the moment. 'We honestly do everything together, except work - actually even work, because we have our podcast.' The couple often give humorous insights into their relationship on their podcast, The Therapy Crouch, not shying away from discussing anything and everything. During one chat on their podcast, the couple revealed the strict rule they've placed on their four children to improve their behaviour. They implemented an iPad and phone ban at Christmas, insisting it's led to a more positive attitude in their household. Peter explained: 'We said to them iPads and phones are gone and I feel we've stuck to that. 'We made a conscious effort amongst ourselves to cut them out and they've properly cut them out.' They mentioned other rules they've put in place include focusing on homework, spending time as a family before having quality time together once the kids go to bed. Though their new rules were a success, it is not always plain-sailing and Abbey admitted Peter can sometimes get on her nerves when it comes to parenting. She told OK! magazine: 'Pete's good cop and I'm bad cop. I'm the one going, 'Do your homework, eat your veg', and Pete's like, 'Let's play, kids!' which can be annoying but… it works. 'Our kids are very good, though. They've all got distinct personalities but they're all easy-going. That's not to say family life isn't chaotic – it's chaotic! 'There's absolutely nothing chilled about, but we wouldn't have it any other way.'

'I had a C-section the first time, so I would like that again.' Talking about expanding her family, Jorgie said: 'I think it's good because we don't have a lot of family, so we want to create a big family unit.

Kelsey Parker pens heartbreaking letter to her 'angel' baby after tragically losing third child
Kelsey Parker paid tribute to her late baby after tragically losing her third child. The podcaster, 34, suffered heartbreak in June after her son Phoenix - her first child with boyfriend Will Lindsay - was 'born sleeping.' After an incredibly stressful and challenging month for the family, Kelsey, Will and her children with late husband Tom Parker - Aurelia, six, and Bodhi, four - headed on a much-needed family holiday. On Sunday, Kelsey shared a video of herself on the beach during the trip alongside a heartbreaking letter to Phoenix. The podcast host penned: 'A Letter to My Angel. It's hard to find the words. 'There is no preparing for this kind of heartbreak. I had dreams for you, your first giggle, your first steps, the way you would cling to me when the world felt too big.' Kelsey continued: 'All those moments I imagined are now part of a different kind of story — one I never thought I'd have to write to you. 'But this isn't just about pain, it is about the quiet but powerful love you brought into this world. 'About how you changed me — made me softer, more grounded, and somehow even more grateful. 'Grief and gratitude can exist together. I grieve what was lost, but I am so thankful I had the chance to carry you for 9 months and love you unconditionally, I told you every day I loved you. 'You will always be mine. My son. My light. My why. 'I share this not because I have answers, but because silence can be lonely. 'And if you are walking through a similar kind of grief, please know you're not alone. There's a quiet sisterhood in this heartbreak, and I feel you deeply. 'For now, I'm learning to live with the ache, to breathe through the waves, and to find little pockets of peace in the middle of the storm. 'And I know that even though I can't hold you in my arms, I carry you in my heart, always.' Kelsey confirmed the loss of her unborn third child, a son she had planned to name Phoenix, one week before his planned due date. Breaking the news in a poem, she announced the news on Instagram in June. She penned: 'The world grew quiet as you arrived, So loved, so longed for, yet not alive. Our precious boy, our angel light, Born with wings, took silent flight'. 'We named you Phoenix, brave and bright. A soul of love, of warmth and light Though we never heard you cry, You'll live in hearts that won't ask why. 'No breath you drew, no eyes to see, Still, you mean everything to me. You'll journey with us, softly near, in every sigh, in every tear. Taking to her Instagram stories: she added: 'Before I receive an influx of lovely messages and heartfelt wishes, I wanted to just say that I truly appreciate everything you are all going to say and share. 'But with the news being so raw, I would really like to ensure that we as a family are given space and time to process this devastating and earth-shattering news. 'I love you all and thank you for your understanding and space. Love always, Kelsey, Will, and the Parker Family'. Kelsey met tree surgeon Will on a night out last year, with the couple announcing their relationship in September. It followed on from Kelsey tragically losing husband Tom in 2022, after an 18-month battle with a deadly and aggressive form of brain cancer.
