I Missed Out On COS' Viral Dress – But Its New Version Looks Even Better
If your summer wardrobe is stacked with minimalist summer dresses and elevated basics that feel timeless yet current, chances are you're well acquainted with COS. A fashion editor go-to, the high street label has a knack for delivering chic staples that effortlessly slide into your wardrobe rotation and look much more expensive than they are. One standout that's simply too good to gatekeep? The Gathered Cotton Top, which, if you've been religiously scrolling through the minimalist label's website lately, will look familiar to its gathered waist midi dress that was inescapable on social media this spring.
Boasting the same gathered waist detail as the bestselling dress, the gathered cotton top offers a similar understated versatility. Made from lightweight cotton, it'll keep you cool and polished, while the gathered bodice injects just the right amount of volume and movement to elevate a simple silhouette. It's no surprise, then, that the style set has already snapped it up, and judging by how quickly it's been selling, we'd suggest you snag one as soon as possible too. 1.
Gathered Top in Brown
Chocolate brown is surprisingly popular this summer, and this breezy cotton top is perfect for the balmy months, making it an essential suitcase staple.
If you loved COS' Gathered Midi, this top is the natural next step, striking the perfect balance between polished style and versatile, mix-and-match ease. Styling this top is extremely simple – whether you dress it up with a black satin maxi skirt (or silk, if the budget permits) or wide-leg tailored trousers, and a pair of pointed-toe mules. For off-duty looks, let the top take centre stage by pairing it with straight-leg jean shorts and cowboy boots for a hint of western charm, or swap in retro trainers for a streetwear twist on a feminine staple.
The stocks are already thinning on the COS top, so best not to wait. The best part? It's made to last, so you can be sure it'll deliver timeless style season after season. 2.
Gathered Top in Black
For a chic take on the gathered top, opt for the black version that'll look excellent with everything from jeans to pleated minis this summer. 3.
Gathered Cotton Top - White
The white version has few sizes left in stock, and will look incredible with your trusty blue jeans and bright trainers for easy everyday style.

Premier League star, 25, breaks silence on awkwardly-sized shorts after suffering repeated wardrobe malfunctions
CALVIN BASSEY has broken his silence after he suffered a bizarre wardrobe malfunction. The Fulham star, 25, saw his shorts repeatedly fall down during their visit to Brighton on Saturday afternoon. 6 6 6 6 6 Fabian Hurzeler 's Seagulls saw their pants pulled down by Marco Silva's Cottagers as they snatched a 1-1 draw thanks to a last-gasp Rodrigo Muniz equaliser. But Bassey had to endure this issue repeatedly at the Amex, with fans joking he may need to invest in a tighter fitting pair. And the former Ajax star broke his silence on social media on Monday with a five-word message. He said: "My shorts are going up," and added a smiley face to his message. In response, one fan said: "It's all a distraction for rivals Calvin." A second said: "Surprised there hasn't been sponsorship offers from boxer companies, or even a belt company." A third added: "They called you out." Many others responded with laughing emojis. However, it is not the first time Bassey has suffered a shorts related malfunction in a Premier League game. In April, during a trip to face Arsenal at the Emirates, Bassey was seen warming up on the sideline. Fulham star Calvin Bassey shows Arsenal fans his bum at worst time possible But as he bent over by the corner flag and engaged in some banter with the Gooners in the crowd - who sang "who are ya?" towards him - by patting his backside, disaster struck. Their attention was quickly drawn from the exchange of jokes, with Gunners star Bukayo Saka scoring in the 73rd minute. That goal ended up being decisive as a 94th minute Rodrigo Muniz strike served to only be a consolation. Fulham face Manchester United at Craven Cottage next Sunday.

Spider-Man actress Zendaya, supermodel Kendall Jenner, and singer Rihanna completed the top five in the list. Sabrina has become one of music's biggest global stars thanks to the success of her breakthrough 2004 album Short N Sweet. Sabrina had opened up about her fashion style at the Met Gala in New York earlier this year. She had turned heads at the event in May by wearing a burgundy Louis Vuitton designed bodysuit with a tailored tuxedo jacket with tails. She had explained: 'It's important for my glam to look like my own. 'I want it to meld seamlessly with my outfit without overpowering it. 'I have a signature base and then add different elements to change it up depending on the colour or style of my look.'

Where Is Love Is Blind UK Filmed?
Love Is Blind UK is back for a second season, as a new group of singletons hope to find love on the show. In season two of Netflix's unconventional dating experiment, which is available now to stream, contestants take a less conventional approach to modern dating by choosing someone to marry without ever meeting them face to face, until they commit to each other with an engagement. They then move in together to plan their wedding as they find out if their physical connection is as strong as the emotional bonds they developed in the pods. The Love Is Blind pods ©Netflix Filming for the series, which is hosted by Emma and Matt Willis, takes place across Europe. We take a look at the filming locations… Before they see each other irl, the potential partners get to know each other via dates in the pods over ten days. The pod scenes for both series one and two were not filmed in the UK, but in Stockholm, Sweden, reusing the set from the Swedish version of the Love Is Blind franchise. 'The pods could literally be in any country, in any city, in any place in the world. The pods aren't about place. The pods are about an experience,' creator Chris Coelen said. 'People love the pods. There are real, intense, incredible love stories that unfold in really fascinating ways in the pods. There are unbelievable love triangles. We now embrace the fact that it's incredibly emotional, dramatic, messy and aspirational.' Love Is Blind's Sophie in the pod ©Netflix The pods are entirely soundproof, and the contestants speak to each other through speakers. 'There's no producers in there, there's nobody else. It's just you and the other person,' Chris explained. He said that some people have even fallen asleep in the pods in other shows, so they could stay close to their match. 'People would say, 'I love to fall asleep in the pod with the person I'm talking to.' They wanted to spend as much time as they possibly could just talking to that person.' In season one, the newly engaged couples jetted off to Corfu, Greece, where they enjoyed a week-long retreat at the five-star luxury Angsana Corfu Resort and Spa. This year, the pairs went to Cyprus for their week-long post-pod retreat. Last year, after their engagement-moon, the pairs in season one lived with each other at STAY in their two and three-bedroom serviced apartments in Camden, London. We'll have to wait and see where the couples stay in the new series. The wedding in last year's series took place at Wynyard Hall in Stockton-on-Tees in County Durham, described as 'a stunningly beautiful 18th century, grade II listed country house' nestled within a private 400 acre estate. As the next batch of episodes drop, we'll have to wait and see if the ceremonies in season two will take place at the same venue.
