Why Primark is great for looking expensive on a budget
By Clemmie Fieldsend, Fabulous Fashion Editor
AS someone who's no stranger to grabbing a last-minute outfit from Primark for a night out, it's about time that celebrities started catching on too.
For as long as I've been heading out, Primark has been my go-to for those 'I have nothing to wear' moments, rushing in at the last minute to find something perfect.
And I'm definitely not alone - on any Friday or Saturday night, you'll find plenty of shoppers doing the same thing, right before closing time.
But no matter what, Primark always delivers.
Now, Rita Ora is leading the charge, showing that you can snag a designer-worthy look without spending a fortune at high-end stores.
While Rita's not rushing in last minute for a red carpet outfit, she's proving you can achieve the same high-impact style for much less.
Looking stunning in her tailored suit alongside her mum Vera, Rita fit right in among the other A-listers dripping in Prada, Dior, and Victoria Beckham - if anything, she looked even better than some of the guests at The Fashion Awards.
With Myleene Klass and Roxy Horner already jumping on the Primark bandwagon, I'm sure more stars will be following suit soon enough.

Viral £600 sliders are utterly plain & cost is daylight robbery but here's why everyone's dying to buy them
ANOTHER week, another trend to get our Primark knickers in an almighty twist about. This week, it's luxury fashion brand 4 Zoe Kravitz steps out in the £760 flip-flops Credit: Goff 4 The Row is the fashion powerhouse set up by US twins Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen Credit: Getty In stark contrast to designer rivals like Hermes and Gucci, whose slip-ons are plastered with logos or distinctive shapes, The Row's pair are remarkably, utterly plain. They're a cartoon-like, bulky slip-on with an open toe (the sort you wear to shuffle in to take the bins out) that come in red, white and black, made from rubber. Yep, £600 for something so basic — that's roughly a couple's weekend in Ibiza. Yet, these plain sliders reportedly sold out at The Row's London store in just one day. READ MORE ON FASHION So why are the fashion crowd — me excluded — dying to get their mitts on them? We call this 'rage bait'. Silly money These expensive rubber sliders have gone viral precisely because people like us are enraged. Social media is awash with fury, dismay and bafflement over their exorbitant price for such plainness. Most read in Fabulous This hysteria is 'rage bait' in action: Driving engagement — comments, shares, views — and ultimately pushing furious shoppers straight to that click-to-buy button, generating huge revenue via their own outrage. It's a clever, yet simple, trap. Fashion followers, seeing 'everyone' discussing these shoes, foolishly believe owning a pair will make them a talking point or instantly cool. Lynsey Hope and fashion expert Neka Okonji review dupe fashion items from DHGate They walk right into it, then find themselves £600 down. This isn't a fluke, it's a strategy and The Row — the fashion powerhouse set up by US twins Mary-Kate and Earlier this year, it released a plain red-soled flip-flop with a plain black strap for £670. They sold out not only for the brand, but through retailers like Net-A-Porter, snapped up by the likes of Kendall Jenner and It's the same formula. Simple, subtle — but silly money , all under the guise of 'quiet luxury'. The Row has now rocketed to sixth place on the Lyst Index of fashion's hottest brands — its highest-ever ranking. Searches for the brand are soaring, almost tripling in the past three months. And the Olsen twins aren't the only ones at it. In 2023, luxury brand Loewe mastered this trick when its plain, ribbed £325 cotton tank top (featuring just a tiny logo) became the Lyst Index's most searched item. This, too, was utter lunacy. Even if I won the Lottery, paying that much to do an impression of Onslow from Keeping Up Appearances isn't something I can ever buy into. And this 'rage bait' strategy isn't new. 4 The Row's £600 sliders Credit: supplied 4 Primark's near-identical £5 version Credit: supplied In 2007, luxury trainer brand Golden Goose sparked outrage with its £410 Super-Star trainers. The pricey shoes came 'pre-distressed', essentially dirty, yet carried that huge price tag. We journos were baffled but, despite the uproar, people snapped them up, and in the process ignited a trend for all things pre-distressed, from dirty jeans to Balenciaga's practically destroyed trainers, retailing at up to £1,290. Let's call it what it is: Daylight robbery. But the people with wallets fat enough to pay for these so-called luxury items are, well, mugs. In the case of the sliders, why pay £600 when you can get a Primark pair for a fiver? They are almost identical. For once, us normal folk are the real winners because we have the high street. Designer dupes have come on leaps and bounds in the past couple of years and now you can proudly look like a wally in your cheap rubber sandals as opposed to bankrupting yourself. Even if a vest is one of the most popular items, would you get one from Tu at Sainsbury's for less than the cost of a meal deal and a loaf of bread — or a designer one for £325? It's a no-brainer. Prestige fashion used to be about craftsmanship and quality, now it's about who can make the most outrageous item go viral. And people lap it up, not because it looks good, but because it's EVERYWHERE and yet unattainable to the rank and file. So while some brands keep pushing rage-bait items, aiming to drain our cash and sanity for likes, I say: Long live the high street. Its clever dupes offer identical style, no matter how wild, without costing a fortune.

We went on what we thought was a normal cruise but were surrounded by swingers trying to have sex with us, it was awful
A WOMAN who thought she was going on a romantic cruise with her partner was left stunned after she realised what was really going on. Robyn-Jay was looking forward to her 10-day cruise, but that excitement quickly faded when she realised many of the holiday makers were swingers. 2 Robyn-Jay and her partner, William, were approached by swingers on the trip Credit: 2 Robyn-Jay said she would never go on a cruise again after her experience Credit: Taking to That's when things began to take a turn and as they decided to sit in a booth and people watch when a man came up to them to ask if they "wanted a third", Robyn-Jay claimed. But the strange encounters didn't end there, as on the second night Robyn-Jay claimed a woman called their room and tried to hook up with the couple, despite having never met them before. According to Robyn-Jay, the woman needed to know their room number, which they didn't share, to be able to call, which made the couple feel uneasy. READ MORE ON CRUISES The pair said they could also hear couples from other rooms on the ship shouting at each other from their balconies. "It's not that they were friends, they were trying to arrange hook ups," she said in the viral video. But it was what allegedly happened next that drew the line for the holidaymaker. She explained that one night she got all dressed up to enjoy some of the entertainment the cruise put on. Most read in Fabulous After finding a quiet place to sit with her partner, Robyn-Jay claimed she noticed a man sat at another tabled was staring at her. "This was something different, this was a whole other level. I felt so uncomfortable in my skin, it really gives you that horrible feeling inside," she said. Terrified sprinting tourists are LEFT BEHIND after cruise ship flees Hawaii tsunami as Brit reveals mad dash to escape That's when the man, who was sat with his wife, allegedly bent down to try and look up Robyn-Jay's skirt. She went on to explain that her partner, William, soon noticed and called the man out on his behaviour before he got up and left with his wife. The holidaymaker went on to claim that she even saw an older man act inappropriately towards a young girl on the ship and he was overly touchy with her. "I just really think [cruises are] a place for a bit of lawlessness and I think people go there knowing that and I honestly dread to think what goes on in the eyes of other people," she said. After sharing her experience, people chimed in to share their experiences on cruise ships, and many thought Robyn-Jay got unlucky. "I've just been on a Marella Cruise and never experienced anything like this," one person said. And a second agreed: "Been on a few cruises - not my experience," they commented on the video. "This could have happened absolutely anywhere, it's not because you were on a cruise. It's also completely common knowledge that cruises are swinger's paradise," someone else wrote. And someone who claimed to work for a cruise company added: "This is a well known thing on some cruise ships. "Unfortunately you have experienced some awful behaviour and some people should understand that not everyone's a swinger. Not all cruise lines behave like this." Pros and cons of going on a cruise ship Whether you're considering a long holiday, working remotely or even living on board a cruise ship for a few months or years, here are the pros and cons from a former cruise shipper. Pros Travel the world, learn and experience new cultures Meet new people Don't have to think or worry about room cleaning, or food Cons Internet connection can be painfully slow and expensive Limited luggage allowance so have to wear the same clothes on rotation Having no control of where the ship would go next and the possibility of visiting the same ports Having the same onboard entertainment, on-demand movies, and little choice of TV channels No fresh newspapers or new books unless someone adds them to the library Relatively the same food week after week unless major menu changes occur seasonally. Occasional rough seas, bad weather and viral outbreaks while inboard.

I quit my job to claim benefits & spend the summer holidays with my kids – I'll be better off not working
A BUSY mum has revealed she ditched her job to look after her kids over the summer holidays. 2 Loren made the difficult decision to quit her job to look after her kids over the summer holidays Credit: tiktok/@lorennjadee 2 Loren said she would be better off not working while her kids are off school Credit: tiktok/@lorennjadee Taking to TikTok, the mum explained that she's always worked hard and still struggled as a single mum. In the viral clip, she revealed she has no one else in the picture to lend a hand, which always left her in a sticky situation over the school holidays . So, the mum planned and paid for her kids to spend most of their time off school at various holiday clubs. "I had it all planned out, I knew exactly where the kids would be," she explained. READ MORE ON PARENTING But as the time got closer, the realisation that she wouldn't see her little ones over the summer holidays and that she'd be spending all of her hard-earned money on childcare hit her "like a ton of bricks." "I cannot force my son who has got SEN needs and a four year old to go to holiday clubs the whole of the six weeks holidays," she said. So, Loren decided to leave her job to look after her kids, which she said worked out better for her. In the comment section of the video, the mum noted that she doesn't currently receive DLA [Disability Living Allowance for children] which is partly why it works out cheaper for her to stay at home and help her son. Most read in Fabulous At the end of the clip, the mum said she would still need to work though, but wasn't sure what her next career move would be. Keen for something out of her comfort zone, the mum said she would try to be a social media influencer on TikTok and asked viewers to follow her so she could give it a good shot. After sharing her decision to quit her job other parents were quick to share their experiences in the comment section of the clip. Kathryn Thomas reveals 'mistake' she made during school run One said: "Sometimes not working actually has more benefits than working. In my case, I have a child with a disability . "I worked for 11 years, and it was exhausting – I was losing myself and my child in the process. Staying home with him turned out to be the best decision." And another mum shared her solution for working during the summer holidays, she said: "I started up as self employed part time cleaner. "I'm on my own basically with no help around me, my six year old SEN is not in school so she comes to work with me. She cant be with others so she cant even do holiday clubs." And someone else said: "I'm having to send my son to holiday club every day as a single mum and I feel so bad as he does not want to go and every morning is a battle." "It's so hard, you work to provide for your family, yet are worse off for working! Its crazy! I'm in the same situation," someone else commented on the clip. How to survive six weeks of school summer holidays IF you are struggling with the six week summer holidays, you've come to the right place... BATTLING BOREDOM: Despite hours of activities and playdates, if your kids are already complaining there's nothing to do, parenting expert Liat Hughes Joshi says: 'Don't feel you have to organise every second of the holidays. Kids benefit from boredom and learn to make their own fun. 'Boredom can trigger creative and imaginative play but you need to encourage kids to get used to not being told how to spend their time. 'Ride out the pleas of boredom. Counter it with comments such as, 'What do you think you could do?' and maybe have a list of 'I'm bored' activity ideas on the fridge.' SCREEN OVERLOAD: It's tempting during the holidays to rely on a digital babysitter but don't let them gawp their whole summer away in front of a screen. Liat says: 'It's unfair to expect older kids to power down but it's important to set some ground rules. 'Set family tech rules together. If you're often distracted by your phone, follow the rules too. Maybe tell the kids they aren't allowed any screen time until they've done set chores, some exercise, or a board game. 'Are there times when you'd like to ban screens completely? Perhaps during dinner or when they have friends over to visit. 'Tech is a battleground for parents, but you have to set boundaries. Stand firm and be prepared to be unpopular.' TOO MUCH TOGETHERNESS: You love your kids, but being with them 24/7 can be exhausting. Do not feel guilty if you need a bit of downtime. Liat says: 'If you're juggling work and household tasks as well as occupying the kids, it's normal to start feeling overwhelmed or jaded and in need of some peace. 'If you can't afford or don't want to send your kids to all-day camps, look for free kids' workshops so you can get on with jobs or have a break for a couple of hours. 'Seeking a spell of quiet every now and then doesn't make you a bad parent — in fact it will probably make you more positive and enthusiastic when you are with the kids.' SCHEDULING CONFLICT: Schedules can go out the window during holidays, but late nights and early mornings can mean tired and unhappy children. Dr Tamara Bugembe, paediatrician and founder of says: 'Children get grumpy, test boundaries and become challenging when routines are broken. 'Sticking to some kind of routine during the holidays is a good idea. 'We release hormones at different times of the day and when regular meal times and bed times are broken, it causes dips and peaks in mood. 'Holidays are about having fun but an early night once or twice a week will make everyone happier.' EXCESS ENERGY: Make sure kids get out in the fresh air to tire them out — and make them healthier and happier. Dr Bugembe says: 'Sunshine also tops up vital vitamin D levels which helps improve bone strength and energy levels in children. Our levels run low in winter so let the kids stock up in warmer weather. 'Letting them run around in shorts and a T-shirt is the best way to top up. Make sure they're wearing sun cream, get outside and have fun. 'Encourage them to try healthy habits such as cycling and walking. They'll hopefully get hooked and want to carry them on when the weather gets colder.'
