But what stood out most was her cleavage, which is incredibly full and perky for her age, with no evidence of sagging.
Consultant dermatologist Dr Thuva Amuthan says it's often one of the first areas to show signs of ageing as the skin is 'thinner and often neglected'.
Here, three women pose in costumes from Next. But does their cleavage give away their age?
They also discuss their busts with Lynsey Hope.

KIIN BUONO, from Fulham, West London, is a 53-year-old single mum who had her kids when she was 22 and 27. She says:
'My boobs have definitely become fuller as I have got older and it does make me feel more feminine to have a cleavage. I notice people glancing at them sometimes.
'I'm originally from Somaliland and I use an old home remedy called Qasil, a green powder. You mix it with water and let it sit on your skin for about half an hour. Other than that, I don't do much in terms of skincare. I try to eat healthily, I drink lots of water and I have a dog I walk twice a day.

'People often compliment my boobs and say I have a lovely shape.
"Perhaps it's genetics. A lot of women my age from Somalia have great skin and look younger than they are. They don't wear make-up and only use natural products. It definitely does the trick!'

'Growing up, my boobs were tiny. I wore a B cup, but in reality I was only an A. I was just too embarrassed to buy that size. I used to get called 'little t*ts'. It wasn't meant in a nasty way, but it did get to me.
'I had my children when I was 23 and 30 and, when I was pregnant, I had lovely big boobs and a lovely cleavage. I breastfed, but when I stopped they shrunk again and were even smaller than before.
'Then, in my early 40s, I started going through menopause. My periods stopped when I was 50 and my boobs suddenly got bigger. By the time I turned 52, I had gone up to a 34D. I was so happy I almost cried and I bought lots of lovely new lingerie.
'I call them 'my girls' and love wearing a bikini. I show them off loud and proud.'

65-year old maternity nurse Cim Ashton is single and lives near Cardiff. She says:
'I was the skinniest girl at school and flat-chested. Everyone used to call me twiggy or stick and I hated it.
'I put on weight and my boobs got bigger when I had children aged 30. I'd buy snacks for the children and end up eating them myself, like many mums do. I looked better with curves and felt more womanly.
'I'm still only a size 12 and my boobs are now a massive 34FF. They have sagged a bit as I got older, but they haven't hit my waistline yet.

'People will often say I look young for my age and I try to stay fit, which also helps with my mental health.
'I give everything a go. Swimming, in particular, helps keep my body toned, and if you hold your stomach in and stand up straight, your boobs instantly look better.'

I tried the viral ‘53 method' to banish my ‘chins' without going under the knife and the results were astonishing
Writer Sarah Morton, a mum of two, is fed up with her double chin. Can a viral Tiktok hack get rid of it? JAW & ORDER I tried the viral '53 method' to banish my 'chins' without going under the knife and the results were astonishing SITTING in a crowded pub with a group of my journalism colleagues, I could feel my eyes starting to well up. 'Did you hear me?' a booming voice demanded. 'I said, take it on the chins.' Advertisement 6 Before applying the hack - Sarah confesses she is self-conscious over her chin and jowls Credit: Lorna Roach 6 Journalist Sarah Morton, applying the '53' make-up hack that TikTokkers claim will sculpt her jaw - without surgery Credit: Lorna Roach 6 Sarah is impressed - clever contouring gives the illusion of a facelift, making jowls fade and cheekbones pop like a real-life filter Credit: Lorna Roach A sozzled male colleague of mine who I barely knew had made a joke about my biggest insecurity in front of a group of ten people. I instinctively raised my hand to my jaw to cover my jowls. I felt embarrassed and annoyed that tears started to fall, but I couldn't stop them. I'd been ridiculed for the thing I hated most about my appearance. Fast forward several years and I've never forgotten that comment. Advertisement I'm now a 42-year-old mum, with a toddler and a new born and arguably, bigger things to worry about. But, despite many fad diets such as the 'no sugar' diet and the 5:2, personal trainers and expensive gym classes that have seen me slim down to a size 8 at my smallest, those 'chins' have remained - as have my deep insecurities. So, imagine my delight when I heard about the '53' method, a supposedly easy way to get a snatched jawline, using nothing but makeup. It's already gone viral on TikTok, with almost 30m videos uploaded to the site with the hashtag #53method featuring people trying it out and offering tips on how to do it. Advertisement In theory it seems easy enough - in order to 'sculpt' the face, you apply concealer in the shape of a '5' to each cheek, and contour in the shape of a '3' next to it. Blend, pout and enjoy a chiselled jawline. Sounds simple, but full disclosure: I've never, ever contoured before. Hailey Bieber contours her cheekbones with a 'bronzing wand' that is also a self-tanner - get her sculpted glow for $28 Up until about three years ago I didn't even use a brush to apply my foundation, I'd slather it onto my face with my fingers before puffing some loose powder on top and hoping for the best. It was only when Instagram started sneaking makeup tips into my feed that I was finally 'influenced' into buying a brush. Advertisement Clearly my algorithm was trying to tell me something. And now, as I continue to age like a corked wine, social media is at it again. With statistics indicating that 56 per cent of women with a double chin would contemplate surgery, and a whopping 36 per cent of people would avoid being photographed because of it, it seems like as good a time as any to log into TikTok and learn the art of contouring. It's long overdue. For years I'd be terrified of someone snapping a candid photo when I wasn't looking, as I would never look nice unless I was front facing, chin tilted to a perfect angle. Advertisement Frankly, it's exhausting. I thought about a thread lift, an invasive surgical method that would involve using threads to pull back the skin and create a mini face lift, but figured I'd prioritise having kids before I did anything too drastic. I even contemplated Kim Kardashian's recently launched SKIMS 'shapewear for the face' - a mask that retails at £52 and promises you a 'sculpted jawline'. However, I was slightly put off when Dr Rosh, a respected aesthetics practitioner, called the product 'an utter load of rubbish', which would have 'zero benefit.' Advertisement Since having my children, Sophie, three, and Marnie, four months, I've been surviving on Diet Coke and air as I juggle night feeds and toddler classes with my job as a writer. I don't think the fizz has helped my face. It means the spare 'gullet' beneath my pointy chin is hanging lower and seems saggier than ever. 6 Sarah used to be terrified of someone snapping a candid photo when she wasn't looking and couldn't tilt her chin to the perfect angle Credit: Supplied Without ditching my fave drink, how on earth could a simple makeup hack change that? Was the 53 method the answer to my prayers? Or was it really too good to be true? Advertisement The main draw of the method is its simplicity. I've watched various contouring videos and aside from the fact it appears to use up a hell of a lot of product, at no doubt huge expense, the whole operation looks complicated and time consuming. Some videos show the entire process done and dusted in under a minute. Which, as someone who likes to be ready in five, is very appealing. I give it a go using two products: Mac's full coverage foundation and Anastasia Beverly Hills contour palette. Top beauty trends for 2025 Hayley Walker, Beauty Expert at Justmylook spoke exclusively to Fabulous about the big beauty trends for 2025. Haircare Hair gloss treatments are a must-have as beauty enthusiasts love the salon-quality shine and enhanced colour delivered by the trending treatment. Hair glosses are multifunctional, as they nourish the hair while offering a vibrant, healthy-looking finish, combining 2025's core trends. This treatment is perfect for those seeking an affordable, at-home glow-up. 2025 will focus on skin repairing and texture-enhancing treatments. Skincare Rejuran treatment, a celebrity-endorsed procedure, will see a rise in demand this year as many seek to enhance their skin's appearance. The procedure entails injecting polynucleotides derived from salmon DNA to enhance skin texture and elasticity. 'Rejuvenation is expected to dominate 2025 skincare trends as many seek to achieve a flawless, youthful complexion. Skincare will also include back-to-basic products for a simplified routine. Ginseng cleansing oil and panthenol cream are among the trending products for 2025. The cleansing oil is excellent for dissolving make-up and impurities without clogging pores and is enriched with nourishing properties to leave the skin feeling and looking refreshed and radiant. Make-up Make-up trends will follow suit to achieve youthful and radiant looks. Under-eye brighteners will be sought-after products for delivering coverage while enhancing natural radiance. This beauty tool will complement natural beauty while improving and brightening dull skin. Make-up looks will be bigger and bolder in 2025 with cluster lashes expected to surge this year. These lashes bring the glam to glamorous looks as they deliver dramatic volume to enhance everyday or special occasion looks. Peel-off lip stains circulated the beauty industry in 2024 and are expected to dominate in 2025. The growing popularity of this product is due to its ability to provide long-lasting, transfer-proof colour to lips, enhancing a natural aesthetic. Additionally, cherry-coded aesthetics are expected to be everywhere this year as the deep, rich hue can be achieved using peel-off lip stains or bold lip looks for a dramatic effect. Nails 2025 will be another year of countless, show-stopping nail trends. Goddess Nails and Aura Nails deserve an honourable mention as these designs channel an ethereal, celestial aesthetic for bold, self-expressing nails. I've now watched many 53 videos for research, to try and perfect the technique but on my first try with actual makeup I find it quite difficult. I have to keep practicing the shape with a clean brush and then I have to ensure I use enough product. It turns out you need a fair bit of it to make it work. Luckily, I have makeup artist Lisa Sloneem on hand to help me and with some gentle guidance from her, I'm finally done. My face feels heavy and I worry that in daylight I'm going to look like a clown. I'm not used to wearing so much product. But that's beside the point, I want to see if this really will give me the 'snatched' jawline it promised. Advertisement And the answer is… it really does. There's no doubt that when done right, the 53 method can give you the illusion of a firmer jaw. The trusty jowls are still there, but I must confess they aren't as noticeable. The colour on my cheekbones seems to make my whole face more angular, the contouring has worked as a mini facelift, it makes it look like everything is pulled up towards my eyes. It's incredibly clever. I look like I've been airbrushed. 6 First up, it's Mac's full coverage foundation Credit: MAC Cosmetics 6 And Anastasia Beverly Hills contour palette Credit: Boots Advertisement That said, I'm not sure I'd be inclined to do this daily. Yes, once you get the hang of it it's not that difficult to master. But you use a lot of product and it takes a lot longer than the speedily edited TikTok vids would have you believe. Lisa agrees. 'It's not as straightforward as you'd think, it takes a lot more blending and a lot more time,' she says. 'In terms of the positioning of the 5 and the 3, it's a good hack. The numbers highlight the face in the perfect way to lift the face, so it's great for beginners but you need to take time to blend properly.' I get home to show my partner Jamie, who seems fascinated by the artistry. 'Your face is a different colour,' he muses, helpfully. However, he doesn't mention my chins – or lack of - which was my main aim for trying this. Advertisement As one of three people, along with our daughters, who look at my face the most, he is used to me, and it's clear that the method hasn't made a big enough difference for him to comment. Maybe if there was a big night out or a family photoshoot or something similar, I'd dig out the foundation and contour again. But as a regular solution for the jowls, it's not worth the effort to do daily. I'd better start saving for that thread lift.

Next's lightweight raincoat is perfect for 'warmer days and light showers'
The unpredictable Irish summertime, often a mix of sunshine and showers, can make choosing what to wear a challenge. This week alone has seen cold, wet and windy mornings give way to sunny afternoons. One solution is to opt for a waterproof coat. These lightweight jackets prevent overheating and can be easily folded up and stowed in a bag due to their thin material. Next's latest Resistant Lightweight Jacket is garnering positive reviews from shoppers for these very reasons. Customers have commended the jacket's lightweight material for its practicality. Priced at €79.50, the crinkle-material Resistant Lightweight Jacket comes in either black or sage colours. One buyer described it as a 'lovely lightweight coat for warmer days and light showers' in the comments section. The lightweight jacket can also be packed away easily (Image: Next) The quarter-length jacket also features a hood, reports the Mirror. Additional details include a central zip, poppers, and pockets on both sides. The model wearing the black version pairs it with jeans, a leopard-print top, and boots, while the model in the sage colour teams it with blue leggings and a cream top. The black coat is available in sizes 6-24, and the sage one comes in sizes 6-22. For those seeking a raincoat made from a slightly heavier material, New Look offers a Water Resistant Drawstring Anorak for £39.99 (€46). Available in two neutral shades, mink and dark brown, this coat makes an ideal choice for the transition from summer to autumn. Turning back to Next's Resistant Lightweight Jacket, one customer expressed their satisfaction: "Really pleased with my long jacket. Bought it to take on holiday as it is so light to wear or to carry." The crinkle-material Resistant Lightweight Jacket is priced at €79.50 and available in black or sage hues However, they did note a minor issue: "My only criticism is that the sleeves could be tighter at the wrists." Another purchaser remarked: "This a lightweight shower coat in a very nice shade of green. It has some interesting features, and is exactly what I was looking for. It is generous fit, allowing for thicker layers if needed." One customer was not impressed by the material, stating: "Looked scruffy. Ok for walking dog. Sent it back as wanted a smarter coat." Another Next customer reviewed: "Lightweight, comfortable perfect for not overheating in summer. Fit is loose and oversized. Practical but stylish."
