The Boohoo Bandage Double Strap Midi Dress is made in a figure-hugging bandage fabric and looks rather similar to House of CB's viral The HourGlass dress.
It's form-fitting silhouette accentuates your curves, while the sweetheart neckline and double strap detail add a dash of sophistication.
It is simply perfect for a cocktail party or a night at the club, and designed to turn heads - at only a fraction of the price.
The dress is currently only available in Chocolate and Rose.
But the best part is that the Boohoo dress is currently on sale for just £20 - a huge difference to The HourGlass dress which costs £169 - giving you a massive saving of just under £150.
But if you still feel like splashing out for a very special occasion you better be quick because House of CB say their bandage Collection is a limited edition.
Whichever you choose - team yours with big hair, high heels, bold lip – and you'll feel like a million dollars.
Meanwhile, a popular supermarket has launched a £20 dupe of the £11k Birkin bags that Victoria Beckham & Olivia Attwood love – and it comes in 2 colours.
And if you're not willing to fork out for a Labubu - which can fetch a whopping £70 online - there's a budget-friendly alternative you can get in your local B&M.
The cost of hotels and flights is already expensive, so we know you want to save cash when it comes to luggage too.
Primark adds brand new Sol De Janeiro dupes to its beauty aisles and they're perfect for keeping you smelling sweet on holiday too
And people are rushing to Tesco to pick up their new suitcase & it's a dupe of pricey Rimowa but more than £1,000 cheaper.
We also have the perfect Crocs dupe for your summer- as a discount supermarket's Summer Clogs sell for a mere £3.99.
This is an eye-watering £46 less than what shoppers would find on the Crocs website.
Plus, Aldi's new Japanese-inspired skincare brand is said to be a dupe of Tatcha – it's 90% cheaper but was it as good?
How to look chic on a budget
Fashion stylist Gemma Rose Breger, and beauty journalist Samantha Silver revealed how you can make your outfits elevated without spending hundreds of pounds. Don't ever spend on designer denim: River Island ''always has such a great selection of fashion-forward jeans that follow the current trends''. The high street retailer offers a great range of sizes to fit UK 6 - UK 18, and three leg lengths - and prices start from an affordable £25. There are no rules for jewels: ''Pick up something at a car boot sale, or charity shop, scroll on Vinted & eBay, snap up something from the clothing section in your local supermarket when doing the food shop or check out high street clothing stores.'' Don't forget the pre-loved sites: With a rising number of second-hand sites, such as Vinted and Depop, there's no excuse for not buying - or selling - pre-loved garments. Gemma, for instance, has managed to get her hands on chic Chanel sunnies for a mere £17.
And finally, our Beauty editor tested Aldi's 7 new beauty buys all for under £5.

‘They're perfect – until they aren't': why are people so interested in the Beckxit beef?
If the biggest feud of the week belongs to Donald Trump and Elon Musk, then the longest running is arguably 'Beckxit'. The name given to the fallout between one of the most famous couples in the world – David and Victoria Beckham – and their less famous eldest son, Brooklyn and his wife, Nicola Anne Peltz, was coined by the Daily Mail this year. But it covers a broader conflict that began in 2022, when Peltz wore Valentino instead of Victoria Beckham to her wedding, and brings us to this week's lavish cover-shoot for German Glamour magazine in which the Beckhams junior discuss their 'occasionally messy, very real love' and whether they might open a restaurant – without a word about her in-laws. Such are the vagaries of celebrity beef, no one really knows what happened in between. But things had clearly ratcheted up when photos of David's 50th birthday party last month appeared online – with no sign of Brooklyn. Further details involving Romeo Beckham's now-ex-girlfriend, various tattoos and a failure to attend one of Victoria's fashion shows began bubbling up, and soon Beckxit had become a reality. Since then every appearance and Instagram post has been picked over by media outlets and armchair journalists alike. Within hours of the Glamour shoot appearing online, the Daily Mail were speculating in one of their 52 stories (and counting) over whether the interview was proof that the feud was far from over. The timing of the Glamour piece was terrible or brilliant, 'depending on whose publicist you were', says PR agent Mark Borkowski, who helped revive Noel Edmonds' career. But however you look at it, it is 'absolutely a war of spin', he says, of the shoot. 'It's what I call a visual soundbite. These images often don't always have the meaning we imbue them with,' he says. 'But we still feed off of it because we are all culprits driven by twitching.' Dr Kadian Pow, a lecturer in sociology at Birmingham City University, agrees. 'The PR moves have to be connected,' she says. 'It's another power play between the two parties.' From the Times of India to Jordanian paper Amman, coverage of this three-year family 'feud' has been extraordinary – especially considering we'll probably never know the truth, nor do we really care. So why are people compelled to read on? 'It's about titillation, and it's about power [and] the Beckhams', says Pow, 'But more widely, these tales are an escape from the doom and political reality [of the news cycle]' says Pow. 'We are fascinated because they are supposed to be richer and better than us – so when we see a flaw that mirrors us ordinary folk and our everyday fallouts, it makes us feel better about ourselves' In The Stars in our Eyes, Julie Klam's 2017 book exploring our fascination with celebrities, celebrity-watching is compared to a fun-house mirror, as if celebrities are constructed to keep ourselves in check. 'If we can get a handle on our relationship to celebrity', Klam writes, 'we can better understand ourselves.' Celebrities are perfect, she says, until they aren't. Sign up to Fashion Statement Style, with substance: what's really trending this week, a roundup of the best fashion journalism and your wardrobe dilemmas solved after newsletter promotion Gossip is not without its victims though, warns Mark Stephens, a media lawyer at Howard Kennedy, citing the media's part in the divorce between Paula Yates and Bob Geldof. Just as newspapers have dedicated Beckham correspondents, there is an entire Tiktok cottage industry of amateur sleuthing which capitalises on other people's difficulties for clicks and profit. Most of this is unregulated of course. 'And there are libel laws that bring to bear [legal action], but the harm is usually done by that point', says Stephens. Still, fights and breakups are life's great equaliser and occasionally, says Pow, when the stars are as big as the Beckhams, these feuds can be 'a shared experience, which is particularly salient in what has become an increasingly siloed society', she says. 'There isn't a lot of monoculture left, but these big juicy stories allow us to whisper together.' Indeed, celebrity feuds have been entertaining us for centuries. In medieval Italy, the satirist Pietro Aretino was supposedly employed by the French king to write propaganda about the Spanish king, while being paid by the Spanish king to write propaganda about the French king. It was a weaponising of gossip on a par with 2019's Wagatha Christie, in which the machinations of back-stabbing celebrity wives turned Instagram into a global whodunnit. These public disagreements don't just sit within the divorce courts and red tops, but on social media. 'The 2014 elevator beef between Jay Z and Solange was a pivotal moment and how these moments are shared' says Pow, of the leaked CCTV footage of Beyonce's sister hitting the rapper over a supposed infidelity. Sometimes these fights feel curated – and often are. At present, some gossip sites are suggesting the feud has been confected to drum up publicity for Victoria's forthcoming Netflix documentary this October. One reason for the intense Beckxit media interest is that it involves two nepo babies (Peltz is also a billionaire heiress). 'These children are looking to monetise their lives, yet are in economic competition not just with their peer-group, but also their parents,' says Stephens. This is particularly uncomfortable for the Beckham 'brand' which is built on family. Victoria and David came of age 'in full tabloid glare', says Stephens. '[But with the offspring] it's harder – what you have is a case of children growing and boundary finding, except in the public eye.' 'I do think people believe that the kids of celebrities are fair game' says Klam. 'But I do not. Nepo babies have it worse than normal people because everyone thinks they've had everything handed to them.' Still, she says, 'now that Brooklyn is choosing to be in the spotlight, well, he is fair game. It's not like he decided to be a shepherd or something.'

Victoria Beckham puts on a brave face as she demonstrates her summer make-up look amid ongoing feud with son Brooklyn and his wife Nicola Peltz
Victoria Beckham put on a brave face on Friday as she demonstrated her summer make-up look amid her bitter ongoing family feud. The former Spice Girl, 51, and husband David, 50, are in the midst of an escalating rift with eldest son Brooklyn Beckham and his actress wife, Nicola Peltz. But amid the family fallout, Victoria brushed aside her woes and got back to business as she promoted her latest Victoria Beckham Beauty make-up products while showcasing her go-to look for the upcoming season. Sitting in a room with a white towel wrapped around her head and donning a personalised white bathrobe, Victoria showed off her radiant complexion with a light and dewy make-up palette. In the tutorial video, she explained that she 'wanted something a little bit different' and 'warmer' to change up her summer make-up look, before holding up her new Terracotta eye-liner. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the Daily Mail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. She then showed how she creates her smokey eye to achieve a 'tanned, monochromatic summer look', which she describes as 'a warmer take on my everyday summer eye.' The fashion designer appeared in good spirits as she talked through her make-up routine with her fans amid her recent heartbreak over her rift with her eldest son. Brooklyn, 26, appeared to make his feelings clear in an Instagram video shared in May, in which he pledged his unwavering loyalty to Nicola, 30 - the daughter of Miami-based billionaire businessman and investor Nelson Peltz. The influencer whisked his wife off for an early morning motorbike ride and captioned the video: 'My whole world x I will love you forever x I always choose you baby x you're the most amazing person i know xx me and you forever baby.' Those close to the Beckhams have now told The Sun that the message seemed 'very pointed'. The insider added: 'It shows how much this situation with his family has escalated. 'It's very sad for everyone involved, especially David and Victoria who love him very much. This isn't the Brooklyn his family knows and loves. 'This post was like a dagger to their hearts but they will always be there for Brooklyn.' Hours after the post, Cruz, the Beckhams' youngest son waded in on the row for the first time by writing an Instagram post in support of his parents, showing he does not side with Brooklyn. The 20-year-old musician wrote: 'I love my family. I love you guys more than anything, mum and dad you gave us life and cared for us no matter what, I cannot tell you how blessed we are to have you in our lives.' David and Victoria have resigned to the fact that they have become estranged from their beloved son after he failed to attend any of the football ace's 50th birthday celebrations last month. Despite flying to London, Brooklyn and Nicola didn't attend the big family party at the Beckhams' Cotswolds home or an idyllic trip to France or a meal at Notting Hill restaurant, Core. Last month, there was further proof of the irreparable nature of the rift when Brooklyn and Nicola jetted to the capital from their home in Los Angeles for a joint photoshoot with Italian luxury fashion brand Moncler. It took place less than two miles away from the Beckham family home in Holland Park, west London. Brooklyn didn't even tell David and Victoria they were in the country - let alone meet with them. Harper - who turns 14 in July - was exceptionally close with Brooklyn and Nicola, who often shared pictures of her on Instagram gushing over the teen and calling her 'my younger sister'. It will no doubt be heartbreaking for the Beckhams' youngest child with speculation as to whether her eldest brother will attend her 14th birthday celebrations.

Hana Cross is the epitome of chic in a white figure-hugging gown as she attends the Boodles Boxing Ball - amid ex Brooklyn Beckham's ongoing family feud
Hana Cross was the epitome of chic in a white gown as she attended the Boodles Boxing Ball 2025 in aid of Home and Homes for Children on Friday. The ex-girlfriend of Brooklyn Beckham, 26, showed off her model figure in the white cotton floor-length Ann Demeulemeester dress, which is worth £800. She added inches to her statuesque frame as the beauty slipped into a pair of white heeled sandals. To accessorise, Hana kept it simple and elegant with a set of silver earrings which featured an elegant diamond design. Hana completed her look with a classic middle-parted updo and opted for a soft glam makeup look. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Hana's ex Brooklyn has recently become estranged from father David Beckham, 50, and mother Victoria, 51, with his heiress wife Nicola Peltz being blamed for the rift in the once tight-knit family. The Beckhams have largely remained silent in public about the rift, but they are said to fear that Brooklyn is falling increasingly under the control of Nicola. Brooklyn recently said he is excited to build his own family with wife Nicola, as tensions continue to simmer between him and his parents. During a PDA-packed video shared released by Glamour Magazine , the eldest son of Victoria and David gushes multiple times that he can see kids in his future, and that Nicola will be an 'amazing' mother. Brooklyn appeared to nail his loyalties to the mast when he posted an image on Instagram of himself and Nicola riding a motorbike , writing: 'My whole world x I will love you forever x I always choose you baby x you're the most amazing person I know xx me and you forever baby.' Hana and Brooklyn split in August 2019 after eight months of dating, in the wake of a string of explosive public rows. He began dating Nicola two months later. The eldest Beckham child had also previously dated actress Chloe Moretz and TikToker-turned-singer Madison Beer before finding love with Nicola. Hana is currently single, but was linked to Kourtney Kardashian's ex Scott Disick and Brooklyn's brother in law, Bradley Peltz. After the split from Brooklyn, Hana went on to write a scathing song about an ex in 2020, which friends insisted was about Brooklyn. The lyrics include: 'You broke my heart and said let's be friends but I never heard from you again and that's kind of mean.' 'I saw us as meant to be and you saw me as temporary and that's kind of rough. 'I'm confused and I'm sad, I don't know what I did but you said it wasn't my fault but without reason how can I know?' But there seems to be no bad blood between Hana and Brooklyn as there appeared to be little said over Hana and Bradley's romantic evening. A source, who spotted the pair at the Beverly Hills Hotel's Cabana Cafe in February 2024, told The Sun on Sunday's Bizarre column that it looked 'intimate'. The source said: 'They looked very intimate and like they were deep in conversation. 'Brad didn't seem to mind that Hana had been in a serious relationship with his sister's husband, or who saw them together. 'He was obviously out to impress, taking her to the most famous spot in LA, where money is no object.'
