Olivia Attwood's £46 boucle mini dress gets mistaken for Chanel by fans
When it comes to designer outfits, Olivia Attwood is known for having a wardrobe full of showstopping luxury pieces. It's not unusual to see her wearing brands like Hermes, Chanel and Miu Miu on rotation, so it was no surprise that when she showed off her latest look, fans immediately assumed it was another designer look.
Sharing photos from a recent Bvlgari event in a blue boucle mini dress, Olivia shared a message she'd received from a fan saying 'This dress… please don't say it's Chanel'. However her followers were in for a treat, as it turned out the dress not only wasn't designer, but it was super affordably priced at £46.
She was in fact wearing the Blue Halter Neck Boucle Belted Mini Dress from high street favourite River Island, and although it was low in stock when she first posted the dress, it's now back in stock in all sizes from an XS to an XL. The dress does bear a striking resemblance to a similar Chanel boucle mini dress which is notoriously hard to get your hands on – although there is one available for £3206 on designer resale site Vestiaire Collective.
However Olivia's dress is the ideal way to get the designer look on a budget, not to mention it's the perfect choice for a chic and sophisticated summer dress. The pale blue colour is flattering on all skin tones, and it has an adjustable halterneck with an open back, keeping you comfortable and breezy.
It also features a detachable white belt around the waist – a nod to the Chanel version – which accentuates your figure. The A-line shape of the skirt is also great for skimming over your hips and creating an hourglass silhouette.
Another alternative which pays homage to the iconic Chanel dress is this Sleeveless Tweed Cotton-Blend Mini Dress from Maje. It has a higher price point at £299, but it features some signature Chanel-esque details like tab pockets and button fastenings on the straps.
To bring a little extra sparkle to the look, Freemans' Adrianna Papell Embellished Boucle Shift Dress is another great option at £84.50, with embellished gem details around the neckline. If blue isn't your colour, we also love this pale pink Miss Selfridge tailored mini dress, which features a statement satin bow at the back and is on sale down from £45.99 to £27.99 at ASOS.
However, considering Olivia's River Island dress was so easily mistaken for something as luxurious as Chanel, it's safe to say it's a great pick for anyone looking to get the designer look without breaking the bank. You can shop her Blue Halter Neck Boucle Belted Mini Dress for £46 now.

Liam Payne's girlfriend Kate Cassidy flaunts her incredible figure in a tiny pink bikini as she poses up a storm for sizzling snaps
Kate Cassidy showcased her jaw-dropping figure in a skimpy pink bikini for a slew of sizzling social media snaps on Sunday. The One Direction star died aged 31 on October 16 after falling from a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Taking to Instagram the influencer Kate, 26, looked sensational as she modelled the tiny two piece while soaking up the sun in her native Miami. She wrapped a matching pink sarong around her tiny waist and toted her essentials in a perfectly coordinating Chanel bag. Shielding her eyes behind chic shades, the blonde beauty wore her locks in a braid and accessorised with silver jewellery. Kate captioned the snaps: 'I'm just summering'. It comes after Liam's ex Cheryl announced her return to the spotlight, following his tragic death. The Girls Aloud singer, 42, has featured in a new campaign for skincare giant Nivea, with the collaboration announced on Instagram on Monday - with a host of nods to her career littered through the brief clip. In a striking clip, Cheryl, who shares son Bear, eight, with the late star, is seen strutting into a studio, before sitting with her face covered by a newspaper boasting the lyrics to her 2019 song Fight For This Love alongside the date 'August 2025 '. A message then flashes up, and reveals: 'A New Era, Tomorrow'. The social media team captioned the clip: 'This is right up our street. Tomorrow. 9am. A new era of skincare... guess who's joining us?' The star was left heartbroken when One Direction star Liam, 31, passed away after falling from his hotel balcony in Argentina in October. The caption from Nivea is a nod to one of Cheryl's catchphrases during her stint as an X Factor judge - when she would often say: 'You are right up my street'. The clip begins with the stars stepping out of a car, with her heels on display, and then pulling the tie of her trenchcoat and boosting her hair. Another nod to her appearance comes when the camera zooms in on her iconic hand tattoo - a unique tribal design which has become synonymous with the star. She posed up a storm as the sun set In the wake of Liam's passing, Cheryl has removed herself from the spotlight after touring with Girls Aloud in May ahead of his passing just months later. Last month, it was reported that the star was in advance talks to return to TV after five years by taking a role as a judge on The Voice. It has been claimed she is being lined up for the 14th series, where she will be joined by her long-time friend and collaborator Insiders told The Sun: ' and Cheryl first worked together 16 years ago and have remained good friends ever since. She was the obvious choice to mentor his team when the Battle Rounds return four years after being axed. 'A lot has happened in Cheryl's personal life since she was last working on a talent show — BBC's The Greatest Dancer — so she's taking baby steps to put herself back out there.' Following Liam's death, Cheryl released a statement regarding her grief and how she will navigate raising Bear without his father. She penned: 'As I try to navigate this earth shattering event, and work through my own grief at this indescribably painful time, I'd like to kindly remind everyone that we have lost a human being... 'Liam was not only a pop star and celebrity, he was a son, a brother, an uncle, a dear friend and a father to our 7 year old son. A son that now has to face the reality of never seeing his father again...

Former Love Island stars Olivia and Alex Bowen announce birth of second child
The pair finished second on the 2016 series of the ITV reality show and have since starred in TLC's Olivia And Alex: Happily Ever After. On Monday, in a shared Instagram post, the couple shared photos of them with their baby girl Siena and son Abel, who was born in 2022. A post shared by Mrs Olivia Bowen (@oliviadbowen) Olivia wrote: 'I can't even find the words other than to say our beautiful girl Siena is here, and we are all bursting with love. 'It wasn't an easy ride but every second worth it a thousand times over. I love my babies.' Among the celebrities congratulating them in the comments was former Geordie Shore star Vicky Pattison and Love Island stars Shaughna Phillips and Molly Smith. The birth of their second child comes weeks after ITV2 and ITVX announced it had greenlit a reality TV series about the family and the couple's journey into parenthood. Olivia And Alex: Parenthood will offer 'intimate access to the couple's real-life journey as they grow their young family from 3 to 4, whilst dealing with the emotional aftermath of losing one of their twins during early pregnancy', a description from ITV said. Earlier in the year, Olivia revealed she had been pregnant with twins but lost one to due vanishing twin syndrome (VTS) which is a condition where one twin or multiple embryos in a multiple pregnancy are lost during gestation. The couple got married in September 2018 and are one of the rare pairings from the show that have remained together. They announced they were expecting their second child in February. Olivia has previously spoken online about how she felt she would be 'so rubbish as a mum' before the birth of Abel.

DAZN host Diletta Leotta celebrated her daughter's second birthday alongside her football ace husband at the weekend. Diletta, 34, shocked her fans at the tot's bash as she sported a bedazzled see-through dress for the party. 12 Diletta Leotta has shocked fans with her latest Instagram upload Credit: Instagram @dilettaleotta 12 Diletta wore a see-through dress in the post Credit: Instagram @dilettaleotta 12 She posed in the bold outfit with husband Loris Karius Credit: Instagram @dilettaleotta 12 The outfit was for the pair's daughter Aria's second birthday party Credit: Instagram @dilettaleotta The social media star and presenter shared a whole host of snaps from the party as she and husband Loris Karius celebrated their daughter Aria's second birthday. The couple looked loved-up in some photos, while Diletta caused a stir with her bold outfit choice for her daughter's birthday. Despite the unusual fashion statement, her fans still showered her with compliments in the comments section of the post. One wrote: "Beautiful and beautiful." While another added: "Always beautiful and unique". A third commented: "You are amazing". And a fourth posted: "You are always wonderful". Others left more negative comments on the outfit choice for the occasion. 12 Diletta cut the cake at the elaborate bash Credit: Instagram @dilettaleotta 12 She blew out the candle with little Aria Credit: Instagram @dilettaleotta Diletta boasts a whopping 9.2MILLION followers on Instagram, where she is always sharing updates of her life away from the TV cameras. As well as her incredible social media following, Diletta is a host for DAZN's football coverage in Italy. But the Italian has come under criticism in recent months for her on-screen outfits. Valentina Maceri, who presents Champions League coverage on Swiss broadcaster Blue, slammed Diletta and a number of her DAZN colleague's outfits as "lacking in class" and "vulgar". Diletta has been with former Liverpool goalkeeper Karius since 2022, with the pair welcoming little Aria in 2023 before tying the knot last year. Karius now plays for Bundesliga 2. side Schalke after leaving Newcastle in 2024, meaning the pair have to juggle their relationship over two countries. But the shot-stopper has said their relationship is in safe hands despite the distance, explaining in a recent interview with Sport Bild that Diletta is supportive of his move. He said: "Diletta even advised me to extend at Schalke. She thinks the club is great and she likes everything she has seen here so far. "Diletta also thinks that royal blue is the perfect choice for my sporting success. She is fully behind this decision." Karius, however, admitted it's tough not seeing Aria every day but FaceTime is saving the day. He added: 'But of course it's hard for me when I can't see my little daughter Aria for days. "But that's what FaceTime is for and we see each other regularly - as often as possible." 12 Diletta and Karius have been together since 2022 Credit: Instagram @dilettaleotta 12 Diletta's outfit caused a stir online Credit: Instagram @dilettaleotta 12 The presenter's dress was see-through from head to toe Credit: Instagram @dilettaleotta 12 Diletta has come under criticism for her outfits on DAZN too Credit: Getty 12 Loris Karius has lifted the lid on what it is like to be apart from Diletta Credit: Instagram / @dilettaleotta
