Royal fashion is all about butter yellow this season - from Kate Middleton's Buckingham Palace Garden Party look to Zara Tindall's viral mini dress, here's where to shop the trend
Butter yellow has been described as a 'new neutral' because of its ease of styling and versatility.
It's a great way to add warmth to an outfit and can be styled with softer pastel colours or jewel tones.
Its soft tone suits most skin tones and works across formal and casual wear.
Yesterday Kate Middleton made her first appearance at the Buckingham Palace garden party since 2023 - having missed last year while she was having cancer treatment.
She wore an Emilia Wickstead butter yellow coat dress with a scoop neckline, structured shoulders and a wrap detail at the waist which she last wore for Queen Elizabeth's Platinum Jubilee (it's surprisingly still in stock).
She paired the dress with a hat by Phillip Treacy and the Robinson Pelham oak leaf and acorns earrings she wore on her wedding day.
Meanwhile Zara Tindall recently appeared at a charity gala evening wearing a Leo Lin butter yellow mini dress with structured shoulders and a flattering A-line silhouette, which sold soon after.
She paired the look with with a pair of gold pumps from designer Julia Mays, stacked with gold bangles and a silver clutch.
Here's where to shop the trend add a touch of quiet luxury up your summer wardrobe.

‘I started planning my funeral' says Love Island star as she reveals terrifying cancer scare
A FORMER Love Island star has revealed she started planning her own funeral amid a terrifying cancer scare. Liana Isadora, who appeared on the reality show in 2016, has shared the moment she feared for her future as a warning to those who still use sunbeds. 3 3 The star - who had a ten year addiction to sunbeds - shared a TikTok describing how she feared she had melanoma and believed it was a 'death sentence'. Melanoma is the most serious type of skin cancer that has a tendency to spread around the body. She explained: 'I literally went home, cried my eyes out and started planning my funeral. I was DISTRAUGHT, convinced I was going to die and it would all be the fault of my own ignorance.' In the hard-hitting clip, Liana started: 'If this is melanoma, then it's a death sentence. Imagine hearing those words at the age of 28, because that was me exactly two years ago today. Full context, I was an extreme sunbed addict for 10 years. 'I had a sunbed in my house, I used tanning nasals, tanning injections, and then I went to a dermatology appointment, I had a symptom of melanoma, and these were the exact words that a dermatologist told me.' She continued: 'I don't know if it was a bit unprofessional for them to be so abrupt, but I am so grateful that they did say the word death sentence to me, because it was the one and only thing that scared me enough to make me stop using sunbeds cold turkey. I've never been on one since, and I'll never go on one again, and I'll never use tanning products again.' Liana was relieved to learn it wasn't cancer, but added 'who's to say this won't catch up with me in the future?' During her time on Love Island, Liana was coupled up with Adam Maxted but they were separated when they were voted, by the rest of the contestants, as one of the weakest couples. She was then coupled with Tom Powell before they got the boot. She now has a child with her boyfriend and often shares videos about how different her life is now. 3 Controversial Love Island star reveals she's secretly become a mum What is melanoma, what are the symptoms and how can you prevent it? Melanoma is the most serious type of skin cancer that has a tendency to spread around the body. It is diagnosed 16,000 times per year, and tragically takes the lives of 2,340 people per year. The number of people being diagnosed with melanoma is increasing, and it is the 5th most common cancer in the UK. But it is also one of the most preventable cancers, with 86 per cent of cases in the UK avoidable. The best way to protect yourself from melanoma is to be sun safe - wear SPF every day, wear a hat and sunglasses and keep out of the sun in the hottest hours. It is also advised to avoid sunbeds. People who are fair-skinned, have blue or green eyes, blonde or red hair and a large number of freckles or moles are more likely to get skin cancer. Surgery is the main treatment for melanoma, particularly if it is found early. This will involve removing the affected tissue in the skin. Radiotherapy, medicines and chemotherapy are also sometimes used to try and stop the cancer from growing. Treatment depends on the severity of the disease. What are the symptoms? The key thing to look out for are changes to an existing mole, or a new mole on your skin. Most experts recommend using the simple 'ABCDE' rule to look for symptoms of melanoma skin cancer, which can appear anywhere on the body. There are five letters/words to remember: A symmetrical – melanomas usually have two very different halves and are an irregular shape B order – melanomas usually have a notched or ragged border C olours – melanomas will usually be a mix of two or more colours D iameter – most melanomas are usually larger than 6mm in diameter E nlargement or elevation – a mole that changes size over time is more likely to be a melanoma A mole that changes size, shape or colour may be a melanoma. But other signs to look out for include moles that are: Swollen and sore Bleeding Itchy Crusty How deadly is it? Melanoma is a deadly form of skin cancer. The outlook of a person's disease depends on the stage of the cancer when it was diagnosed. Survival is better for women than it is for men. 'We don't know exactly why this is. It may be because women are more likely to see a doctor about their melanoma at an earlier stage,' says Cancer Research UK. The charity says that generally, statistics show that in England, more than 85 out of every 100 people (more than 85 per cent) will survive their melanoma for 10 years or more after they are diagnosed. Around 100 per cent in England diagnosed with melanoma at stage 1 - when the cancer cells are only in the top layer of skin - will survive for five years or more after drops to 80 per cent for stage 2. Some 70 per cent live for a further five years when they are diagnosed in stage 3, which is when the cancer has started to spread to nearby lymph nodes. At stage 4, when the melanoma has spread elsewhere in the body, almost 30 per cent survive their cancer for 5 years or more. Cancer Research says the stage 4 data does not account for age differences. Age can affect outlook and younger people have a better prognosis than older people. Age can affect outlook and younger people have a better prognosis than older people. What is melanoma? Melanocytes are cells in the skin that give us the colour of our skin because they produce a pigment, known as melanin. When you sit in the sun, melanocytes produce more pigment (a sun tan), which spreads to other skin cells to protect them from the sun's rays. But melanocytes are also where cancer starts. Too much UV causes sunburn, and this is a sign of damage to the skin's DNA. The UV triggers changes in the melanocytes, which makes the genetic material become faulty and cause abnormal cell growth. People who burn easily are more at risk of skin cancer because their cells do not produce as much pigment to protect their skin. Those with albinism are at the most risk because their skin produces no pigment at all.

Jack Draper and Cameron Norrie win to move into French Open second round
Jack Draper and Cameron Norrie led the way on another impressive day for British tennis players on the clay courts of Paris as Britain's two most successful active male players moved into the second round of the French Open. Norrie took a significant step in his attempts to re-establish himself at the highest level of the ATP tour as he toppled the former world No 1 Daniil Medvedev, seeded 11th, 7-5, 6-3, 4-6, 1-6, 7-5 after trailing 3-5 in the final set. Later, Draper maintained his composure to secure his first career win at the French Open by defeating Mattia Bellucci 3-6, 6-1, 6-4, 6-2. Sonay Kartal, meanwhile, continued her steady, assured rise by dominating Erika Andreeva 6-0, 6-2 to win on her main-draw debut. After victories for Katie Boulter, Emma Raducanu and Jacob Fearnley on Monday, this is the first time in the open era that three British men and three British women have won first-round matches at Roland Garros and the most British players into the second round since 1973. Draper returned to Paris for his third career appearance in a curious position. He continued his incredible rise this year by finally breaking through on clay and he entered Court Suzanne Lenglen as a top-five player at a grand slam tournament for the first time. At the same time, he was still seeking his first French Open victory. Under those circumstances, the early nerves he displayed were not surprising. He struggled with his serve from the start, double faults piling up, and he was tentative behind his usually destructive forehand. Across the net from Draper stood a familiar foe in Bellucci, also a 23-year-old left-hander, who he first faced in doubles alongside Jacob Fearnley when they were only 12 years old. Despite being only 5ft 9in tall, Bellucci is an explosive, dynamic and wildly entertaining player. His fast left arm propels his wicked yet inconsistent forehand and he is a great athlete with ample variation in his game, which he demonstrated throughout a strong start as he quickly led 5-1 before taking the first set at 6-3 with a sweet underarm serve. Draper remained calm after conceding the first set and his slow start eventually gave way to a dominant performance. 'He came out, played really aggressive from the start, some amazing shots, caught me a little bit off guard,' Draper said. 'I'm really proud of the way I was able to turn it around.' Norrie's victory against Medvedev is the joint best win at a grand slam tournament of his career. It also marked his first victory against Medvedev after losing all four of their previous meetings in straight sets. Norrie had started the match extremely well, pairing his typical discipline, durability and consistency with greater aggression on his forehand. As the Russian forced himself inside the baseline and began to dictate, however, Norrie lost control and the match flipped dramatically. Down 3-5 in the fifth set, though, Norrie locked down his game and found his way to an incredible escape, reeling off the final four games of the match to win. Afterwards, Norrie described the victory as one of the top wins of his career. Sign up to The Recap The best of our sports journalism from the past seven days and a heads-up on the weekend's action after newsletter promotion 'Outside of Alcaraz, Sinner and Novak, would be probably the fourth toughest draw for me in terms of matchups and players,' he said. 'Extremely good win, especially my record with him. What's his ranking, 12 or 11 in the world? In a slam, best-of-five, beating him in five sets is impressive for me.' It is difficult to overstate the significance of this victory for the former British No 1. After the highs of winning the Indian Wells Masters 1000 event in 2021, facing Novak Djokovic in the 2022 Wimbledon semi-finals and climbing to No 8 in the ATP rankings, the past few years have been extremely difficult. Although injuries have played a part, he has struggled even when he has been healthy on court. Two weeks ago, the 29-year-old fell to No 91 in the rankings, his lowest since 2018. Norrie is an extremely ambitious individual but in order to find his way again, he had to take a step back and detach himself from his intense expectations and simply enjoy the game of tennis again. A turning point came after another easy first round loss at the Miami Open in March. 'After Miami, I felt I was trying too hard and forcing things too much,' Norrie said. 'I took some time, thought about everything in my career and my personal life and I think I was setting expectations too high. I talked to my team, a long meeting, just to try to enjoy the tennis a bit more and look for good moments. I started winning straight after that and started watching matches back, and I looked a lot more like myself on the court. 'Why not go and enjoy it, go and play and compete. Looking back after my career, you're gonna miss competing and miss the tough moments, and I don't want to regret that.'

Dan Cole retires a titan who will be remembered for resilience over highlights
When looking back on the rugby life and times of Dan Cole, what is most striking is that, after almost two decades at the front-row coal face, after the triumphs, trophies and truculence, it was something entirely intangible which stands tall above all else. It is the 38-year-old's resilience; or, to borrow a sporting cliché, his bouncebackability. The veteran Leicester and England tighthead will retire at the end of the season, but, when recalling his career, it is not necessarily the highs that immediately spring to mind. It is often overlooked, given his Leicester debut came in 2007, that he burst onto the scene as English rugby's most dynamic, rounded prop. It was his mauling of then England loosehead Tim Payne against Wasps which led to a first Test cap in 2010, at the age of 23 – tender for an international tighthead. But it is easy to forget how, at one time or another, he jackalled as effectively as England's back row, too. DRC in numbers. 🐻❄️ — Leicester Tigers (@LeicesterTigers) May 27, 2025 Another 339 appearances – with, probably, a few more to come this season – for the Tigers ensued, as well as four Premiership titles. Cole wore those renowned East Midlands stripes having grown up a dyed-in-the-wool Tiger, playing his junior rugby – mostly in the back row – for the neighbouring grass-roots club, South Leicester. From those muddy pitches, a brilliant career for both England and the Lions followed; Cole made 118 appearances for England and won three Test caps for the British and Irish Lions. And yet, it was arguably the nadir of Cole's playing career which is most vividly remembered by English rugby fans. Cole was known as a destructive scrummager – ask Tom Court and the rest of the Irish front row who featured in the 2012 Six Nations – but in Yokohama, as Cole trotted off the bench early in the 2019 World Cup final, the tighthead was chewed up and spat out by a South African juggernaut hell-bent on global hegemony. Cole did not feature for his country again under then head coach Eddie Jones, believing his international career to be over while attempting to convalesce the deepest of emotional wounds and scars. But it is a measure of Cole's durability and work ethic that he returned to his club and continued to give his all for a boyhood cause. When Steve Borthwick replaced the sacked Jones as England head coach at the end of 2022, Cole sniffed a second chance. It was Cole, after all, who had been the cornerstone of the Leicester pack which, under Borthwick, had lifted the Premiership title a season earlier. With Borthwick from Leicester went Richard Wigglesworth, Kevin Sinfield and Aled Walters, the fitness guru – all of whom knew Cole well. When the inevitable England recall came, it was Walters who convinced Cole to take on the role of Stone Cold in England training, with the veteran re-enacting Steve Austin's famous wrestling entrance (replacing beer with water) to his team-mate's delight and social media acclaim. STONE COLD DAN COLE. Elite content via @JoeMarler on Instagram! #RWC2023 — Tight Five Rugby (@TightFive_Rugby) September 21, 2023 Whether Cole yearned for personal retribution after 2019 is not fully known; he is a unique, droll character who often kept his cards close to his chest, instead opting for wise-cracks. Regardless, there was symbolic retribution four years on. The image of him trotting off in the 56th minute of the 2023 World Cup semi-final alongside Joe Marler, his great mate, having held resolutely in the face of his demons from four years previous, a Springbok scrummaging onslaught, will stay with all those who were in the Stade de France that evening for a long time. England went on to lose, but Cole must surely have slept easy that night, after a standing ovation from the England fans in Paris, knowing he could have given no more to the cause. Cole retires as a tighthead titan and a Leicester legend alongside a cabal of his former England team-mates, in a season that has become a curtain call of sorts for English rugby. Cole, Marler, Ben Youngs – alongside whom Cole has established the successful For the Love of Rugby podcast – Mike Brown, Anthony Watson, Danny Care and Alex Goode are all now hanging up their boots. The final chapter 📖 — Leicester Tigers (@LeicesterTigers) May 27, 2025 'Overall, I have loved my career but I haven't loved every minute,' Cole said. 'That has allowed me to appreciate the good times even more. However, when I do look back on it properly at the end, I know I won't want to change anything about it.' Those words from the man himself are telling. Tuesday was a poignant day for Cole, as well as those close to him, yet, as ever with this great Midlands yeoman, we can be sure that, whatever the next move, brightness lies ahead. History can reassure us of that.
