Next's 'flattering' £28 lightweight summer dress is 'ideal for holiday'
The sought-after Midi Slip Summer Dress is retailing for £28. It comes in a variety of patterns including a bold pink and orange combo, blue tie-dye, as well as black/green and black/animal prints.
The coveted dress is available in both regular and petite lengths, catering to sizes six through 22. However, eager buyers should act fast, as some sizes are selling out quickly.
Next advises that the fitting runs slightly smaller than standard sizing, an important consideration for online shoppers. The dress boasts a midi cut, adjustable straps for perfect fit, and is notably easy to care for – just toss it in the washing machine.
The full product description states: "The perfect dress for sunny holidays or warm weather dressing, this flattering midi-length dress has a lightweight slip design, made from a soft fabric with adjustable shoulder straps and a split side hem," reports the Mirror.

For those still hunting for ideal summer wear, River Island sells the Pink Broderie Midi Dress at £69. Alternatively, New Look's Red Gingham Bow Back Midi Dress is priced at £33.99, while Very offers the stylish Vero Moda Woven Ankle Drop Hem Dress for £44.
Shoppers appear mostly delighted with Next's Midi Slip Summer Dress, though a few noted minor issues. One satisfied customer commented, "Bright colourful good quality and fits well," whereas another happy shopper shared, "Lovely summer dress, wore it recently on holiday."
One shopper commented on the split in the dress and claimed it felt more like beachwear. They said: "Lovely dress. Fits well but has a very high split up the leg. Think it's more suited to beach wear rather than an every day dress."

Meanwhile, some were all for its versatility, with a comment reading: "Great light dress to wear on its own or over your swimsuit, lovely colours material lovely and soft. Great addition to my summer wardrobe."
Another buyer found it suitable for multiple occasions: "This is a lovely dress...although I wanted to wear it in the day with my swimwear I think I would want to dress it up for night too."
Compliments were plentiful, as one shopper expressed satisfaction with their purchase: "Lovely dress. Bought for a Caribbean holiday. Got lots of compliments. True to size. Doesn't crease."
Others echoed similar sentiments, with one saying: "Nice light cotton straight summer dress. Ideal for a holiday," another suggesting it was "ideal for holiday."
A further compliment came from someone who called it a "Nice little lightweight holiday dress. Good fit."

5 'underrated' sci-fi masterpieces Alien: Earth fans need to stream now
5 'underrated' sci-fi masterpieces Alien: Earth fans need to stream immediately These five incredible movies are guaranteed to scratch your itch for body horror and existential dread if you're loving Alien: Earth Pondering what to view whilst awaiting the next instalment of Alien: Earth on Disney+? Search no more. We've compiled a selection of five remarkable science fiction films that are certain to satisfy your craving for body horror, cosmic thrills and existential terror. What's more, they're all accessible on streaming services. The programme from Fargo creator Noah Hawley has garnered glowing reviews thus far, with enthusiasts and critics alike praising the nostalgic nods to the original spacecraft slasher and contemplations on artificial intelligence. With an entire weekend remaining before the series resumes, here's an overview of five overlooked sci-fi gems to occupy your time, reports the Mirror. Article continues below Brad Pitt's underrated space drama deserves a much bigger audience (Image: 20th Century Fox) Ad Astra Beyond the body horror and spine-chilling sexual metaphors, the Alien franchise epitomises the terror-inducing vastness of space like no other. If you're seeking a film with comparable levels of rich atmosphere alongside a stunningly crafted vision of the cosmos, look no further than the underappreciated masterpiece Ad Astra, featuring Brad Pitt. This brooding space epic follows the F1 star as an astronaut who undertakes an interstellar voyage to uncover the truth regarding his absent father, portrayed by Tommy Lee Jones. One five-star Letterboxd review described it as "one of the most meditative and breathtakingly exquisite outer space epics ever made." Ad Astra is available to stream on Disney+. Gattaca doesn't feature a single alien - but sci-fi fans will love it (Image: Sony Pictures Releasing) Gattaca This overlooked sci-fi masterpiece from the 1990s unfolds in a near-future world where mankind has developed an unhealthy fixation with genetic flawlessness, chillingly echoing numerous themes found in Alien. Ethan Hawke takes on the role of Vincent, a young 'In-Valid' who manages to penetrate the biological aristocracy by masquerading as a paralysed swimming champion, played by Jude Law. Driven by his ambition to participate in an expedition to Saturn's moon Titan, he gradually discovers sinister secrets lurking just below the veneer of this supposedly flawless new civilisation. One five-star Google review declared: "One of the best sci-fi movies ever made. "I saw a clip in Biology class (we were studying gene editing), fell in love, and promptly watched the whole film. "Since then, I've re-watched it countless times, and countless more sci-fi films, and this one still stands out from all of them." Gattaca is available to stream on Prime Video. Trippy visuals and an unhinged Nicolas Cage performance - what more can you ask for? (Image: RLJE Films) Color Out of Space Should you be seeking more grotesque body horror and spine-tingling Lovecraftian menaces from beyond, Color Out of Space might be precisely what you're looking for. Featuring Nicolas Cage, this little-known thriller from 2019 chronicles a family who relocate to a farm seeking refuge from the cacophony of contemporary existence. Grave mistake. Following a meteor's crash landing in their garden, they slowly develop an obsession with an extraterrestrial hue that starts to contaminate and transform everything within its reach, themselves included. "This thing is going to be a cult classic," one Letterboxd user promised. "It's got the blueprints of a wild premise and a truly off the rails Nic Cage performance. "It's a horror that doesn't rely on anything really that scary but knows when to leave it to your imagination. With some great visuals and Cronenberg-y body horror, Color Out of Space absolutely rips." Color Out of Space is available to stream on Prime Video. Witness David Cronenberg's chilling vision of the future before it's removed from iPlayer (Image: Vertigo Films) Crimes of the Future Speaking of David Cronenberg, one of his finest and most legendary films, The Fly, can be found on Disney+. But, if you're an Alien enthusiast there's a good possibility you've already watched it, so why not sample one of his more contemporary offerings? Another unsettling sci-fi thriller, Crimes of the Future, elevates the notion of bodily terror to an entirely different dimension, building its distinctive suspense story around a performance artist specialising in surgery who uncovers a dark plot to reveal humanity's evolutionary next step. Viggo Mortensen, Léa Seydoux and Kristen Stewart feature in this bizarre glimpse of tomorrow which "showcases [Cronenberg's] mastery over the ghastly and the gruesome", as one enthusiastic Google reviewer noted. "Perverse and provocative, it's easy to understand how it might not be most people's cup of tea, however, fans of Cronenberg and his penchant for the grisly will be delighted." Crimes of the Future is available to stream on BBC iPlayer. The Predator series is back and better than ever (Image: 20th Century Studios) Watch Alien: Earth on Disney+ with two months free This article contains affiliate links, we will receive a commission on any sales we generate from it.

Avoid surprise price hikes by locking in your subscription costs for a year and stream hundreds of beloved films and hit shows, such as Alien: Earth from 13th August. Prey The Predator series, launched in 1987 with the Arnold Schwarzenegger classic, is one franchise that has always been closely associated with Alien, even teaming up for two delightfully cheesy crossover beat 'em ups in the 2000s. Although they've taken divergent paths since then, there's a possibility that these two series could merge once again with the reboot of the Predator franchise by director Dan Trachtenberg, who brought us the fantastic Prey in 2022. After immersing themselves in this edge-of-your-seat thriller, which follows Amber Midthunder's 18th Century Comanche warrior in a face-off with the legendary hunter, fans will soon have the chance to delve into the eagerly awaited sequel, Predator: Badlands. Article continues below This chapter will take place on a remote planet in the future and even includes Elle Fanning as a synthetic being created by Alien's Weyland-Yutani. Might a Xenomorph make an unexpected cameo? Prey is available to stream on Disney+.

Nicola Peltz and Selena Gomez's feud 'doesn't exist' as pals hit out at drama
A pal of Nicola Peltz has silenced speculation that she and Brooklyn Beckham have become distant from their friend Selena Gomez after sources said their bond 'didn't exist' After previously forming a close friendship with them, Selena Gomez was said to have turned her back on pals Nicola Peltz and Brooklyn Beckham. However, the Mirror can reveal that this is far from the truth. Back in 2023, she even joked that the trio were in a 'throuple', but it now appears that's no longer the case. The singer, 33, was noticeably absent from the couple's vow renewal last month and it's now being reported that she's been left 'truly disappointed' by the pair's 'diva' like behaviour. A source told The Sun: 'Last year, she noticed Nicola's behaviour toward her and [fiancé Benny Blanco] turned into a constant quest for attention. 'There were many tense moments, for example, during dinners and lunches, where Nicola would try to sit where photographers could get the best angle, and she wasn't very nice to Selena if people weren't paying enough attention to her.' It comes after David Beckham speaks 'as a father' in 'family' announcement after latest Brooklyn snub. The source added: ''I mean, just look at Nicola and Brooklyn's circle of friends, it's shrinking every week. Some people have turned their backs on them because they've realised how Nicola behaves, and Brooklyn isn't doing much to change the dynamic.' But a source close to Nicola told the Mirror: "It's totally false and wrong to bring an innocent bystander into the feud. People have busy schedules, and people are looking for drama where it doesn't exist." Selena spent New Year's Eve with Brooklyn, 26, and Nicola, 30, back in 2023, with the trio enjoying time together on a yacht in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. She took to Instagram to share a series of snaps, with one picture displaying the trio snuggled together as they lay on a net over the water onboard their lavish boat. "Fine calls us a throuple #foreverplusone," the Good For You singer joked in her caption at the time. The Naturally singer reportedly also invited the husband and wife to move in with her. An insider told Closer: 'Brooklyn and Nicola moved into Selena's Encino estate a few weeks before Christmas, and the three of them have been playing happy families - joking that Selena is going to be written into the marriage license. 'Brooklyn and Nicola put their home on the market last year and had been living at Nicola's apartment in LA while they looked for a new house, which has been far from ideal given how cramped it is.' The source continued: 'When Selena suggested they move into her sprawling home with a huge backyard, they loved the idea and agreed that since they're still so young, living with a friend would be the perfect way to have the best of both worlds." Rumours of a feud first did the rounds last month when Nicola's fans pointed out the actress hadn't publicly wished Happy Birthday to actress and singer Selena Gomez. Selena, who has just turned 33, marked her latest birthday on July 22. One fan commented: 'No Selena? I miss your friendship with Selena,' while another expressed: 'Wondering that too, as it's Selena's birthday and she usually posts for that, wall, stories or on Selena's wall.' A third wrote: 'She's not even friends with his Mum anymore, so ..@selenagomez ?" This comes as Brooklyn and Nicola are said to be locked into a feud with the rest of the Beckham family. They failed to attend David's early 50th birthday celebrations back in April or acknowledge the birthday on social media. Not only this, but none of the Beckham family were present at their recent vow renewal ceremony, with her father Nelson Peltz stepping in to officiate the ceremony.

Gemma Collins' plans for 'mystical' wedding on hold again as she makes blunt admission
EXCLUSIVE: Gemma Collins' plan for 'mystical' wedding to her fiancé Rami Hawash are on hold as she makes blunt admission - and spills the beans on her life as a stepmum She's the reality TV star who doesn't hold back, and now Gemma Collins has spilled all on her future wedding plans (involving a certain pair of Irish twins), her weight loss journey and a summer spent on stepmum duties. A proud oversharer, the TOWIE icon is in the midst of preparing for her big day, but things aren't quite following the schedule. So much so, Gemma admitted to us she is even considering leaving it all to the last minute. Her excitement at walking down the aisle hasn't dwindled four years since her second engagement to fiancé Rami Hawash, who she met in 2011. As she opens up on her rather unusual wedding theme, the Mirror sits down with 44-year-old Gemma to find out more… It comes after one TV star admitted she sleeps in separate bed to partner as she fumes over pregnancy. Hi, Gemma! You recently tricked fans by saying you'll marry on ice in a nod to your iconic time on Dancing On Ice. How did that go down? People loved it. I've always been an oversharer. I love to spill the coffee. I just think everyone's just not been saying much and keeping it in. We all need to overshare more. Everyone's so reserved. So everyone loved it. It was like they were getting the scoop. And it's gonna be so much fun when people finally realise that I'm not getting married on ice. How are those wedding plans going? It's going really well but, if I'm honest, I haven't actually done anything about it yet because I've had just the craziest of times recently. It's been nonstop. But I'm sure Jedward are gonna get up and sing. I've not decided where it's gonna be. I mean, after Jeff Bezos' wedding, I've sure as hell got to try and top that one, haven't I? I had my friend DJ Fat Tony's wedding this year and that was just so beautiful, it was just so right. They obviously put a lot of planning into it, but their day was beautiful. I am very last minute so, knowing me, I'll probably decide two weeks before. So will it be next year? Absolutely it will be 2026. I spoke to my astrologer and that is the year to get married. Are there any unusual plans you would actually include in your big day? 'I'd like it very mythical, actually. I'd like fairies. I'm obsessed with Maleficent , you know the movie? So I'd like a woodland setting, I think. Very like boho but magical. You've said that Jedward could have a special role – is that still on the table? Absolutely. They will be singing. They'll definitely have a major role in the big day. They could be mythical creatures. I love them to death, the boys. What have you enjoyed most about wedding planning so far? That's the thing, I haven't pulled my finger out and done one bloody single thing. So I'm literally at the very, very beginning. All I know is I want it mythical with mythical creatures. Have you got your guest list sorted? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. You have been open about your weight loss journey. How is everything going? There was a spanner in the works, because I got pneumonia, so it slowed down a bit. I'm just constantly on that vibe of positivity and loving yourself, and just taking it slow, really. There's no rush there. You've said your weight loss has been life-changing – in what ways? I think it's just really lovely to walk into a shop and to be able to buy outfits and they fit. I have gone from a size 26 back to a 20. I make sure I can enjoy my summer. We all relax a bit more in the summer but then – boom – straight back on it again. How have you been since your bout of pneumonia? It was terrible, but I've just suddenly, in the last couple of weeks, been back to normal. But it really takes it out of you. I'm fine now, so I can get about a bit more, and I've been walking a lot more. Everything's on the up now, honey. Can we expect you back on our screens any time soon? Do you know what? Watch this space. So can you tell us what you've been up to over the summer months? I've been a busy stepmum because, obviously, I've got Tristan now [fiancé Rami's seven-year-old son]. I don't share him too much on socials, because I respect his privacy but we've had him, so that's been lovely. We've been just doing normal, kiddy-friendly things. I spent more time in Jump Street [children's trampoline park] than I've had hot dinners. I've been on the PlayStation – you name it, I've been doing it: parks, doggy walks. I wish I could say to you, I'm sat in Mykonos drinking a Piña Colada, but I'm not. I have been busy doing stepmother duties but I wouldn't have it any other way. I've loved it.
