River Island just launched a £46 version of Kate Spade's £450 beaded pizza bag
River Island has just dropped a new range of novelty beaded handbags, including a £46 version of the £450 pizza bag from Kate Middleton-loved brand Kate Spade
Bedazzled and beaded handbags are taking over our high streets this summer, and we're obsessed with River Island's latest collection of novelty handbags.
With the rise of 'Ibiza fashion', it's no surprise to see this accessory style take off, but we love how certain retailer's are taking a more playful turn.
Thanks to designer brands such as Kate Spade and Anya Hindmarch, food, drink and branded handbags have become a bit of a trend, and River Island is one of the first affordable high street brands to jump on this.
From 7up to baked beans and blueberry matcha, the retailer has gone all out with its new range.
But one handbag in particular caught our eye for being an amazing designer alternative. The bag in question is the Beige Premium Beaded Pizza Shoulder Bag, priced at £46.
Taking inspiration from Kate Spade's now sold-out £450 pizza handbag and Judith Leiber's £5k pepperoni pizza clutch, River's offering is far more affordable, but still just as fun and novetly.
The triangular shaped crossbody bag features detailed beadwork that depicts tomatoes, mushroom and veggies, and of course, some hanging beads to represent a pizza slice cheese pull.
And if you're wondering how to wear this, we suggest over a simple summer co-ord or midi dress to add a little pop of fun to your warm-weather looks.
Fans have taken to social media to praise this new collection with one calling the entire range " my dream handbag collection" and another saying "they're giving Anya Hindmarch vibes".
Alterantively, if you do want to get your hands on the real Kate Spade deal, there are a few novelty food handbags still available to shop. Our favourites include Kate's Snack Bar Popsicle Crossbody Bag, currenty priced at £279 down from £429; the 3D Hamburger Crossbody, now £189 down from £295; and to accessorise we love the Snack Time Patent Bag Charm, priced at £95.

With holiday season fast approaching, it's no surprise shoppers are rushing to bag new season must haves. One absolute essential for taking away to sunnier climates is a dress, which is exactly why many of the fashion chain's devoted shoppers have been rushing out to add the Printed Midi Slip Summer Dress to their suitcase for just £28. Boasting a selection of "vibrant" prints, this slip-style dress seems to be the ultimate throw-and-go layer. Paired with sandals, it will be ideal for wearing around the pool, by the beach, or when out for a dinner al-fresco style in the sunshine. Featuring adjustable straps for the perfect fit, it falls to a midi-length hemline that is 'on trend' for 2025. Meanwhile, the soft fabric and lightweight slip-style design make it a comfy and breathable fashion choice for those balmy summer days. Designed in regular and petite, it can be purchased in five different prints that will add a splash of colour to any holiday wardrobe - pink/orange, palm trees, blue tie-dye, black/green and animal print. Next Printed Midi Slip Summer Dress £28 Next Buy here Product Description Last time we checked, sizes still ranges from a six to 26, with a few tall sizes sprinkled in there, but some of them were beginning to sell out fast. For anyone who can't find their size in stock, then we have spotted a few alternatives worth checking out, such as this Ivory Fruit Print Strappy Midi Dress that is still a summer standout item for £45. Meanwhile, River Island's bold Atlas collection for summer '25 is a huge hit with shoppers online, with the collection's £56 Blue Atlas Printed Linen Blend Maxi dress currently a "trending" piece.

Fashion deal of the week Fashion fans looking for a dress that will standout at all their summer events will need to hear about this one from Roman. The high street chain's Royal Blue Rose Print Button Detail Maxi Dress, hailed as "perfect for the warmer seasons", is now on sale for £35 after being dropped from £48 - saving 27 percent overall. With its "stunning" all-over rose print and modest midaxi length hemline, this particular frock will look perfect at any fancy occasions this season.

It also features a chic V-neckline, alongside a shirred waistline that will 'cinch' in the figure for a flattering effect.

Frankie Bridge's £39 River Island skirt can be styled 'so many ways'
Frankie Bridge is one of the UK's most stylish women, and is always serving up major fashion inspiration - and this outfit she recently wore is from River Island TV personality and fashion favourite Frankie Bridge has once again proven why she's a go-to for warm-weather style inspiration. In a recent Instagram post, she debuted a look that she hailed as 'perfect' for a city break - and best of all, every piece is from high street favourite River Island. Giving us all the Italian Riviera vibes, Frankie stepped out in River Island's White A-Line Poplin Midi Skirt, which costs £39. White cotton skirts dominated Instagram in summer 2024, and are very much back for 2025, making it a smart investment for anyone looking to build a capsule warm-weather wardrobe. With its elasticated hem and classic midi length, the skirt is as comfortable as it is elegant, made from 100% cotton making it ideal for beating the heat. As we've learned from influencers over the last 12 months, it really is a versatile summer staple, with Frankie noting: 'The skirt can be restyled SO many ways over summer.' Elsewhere, New Look has this White Pleated Midi Skirt for £29.99, while Mango's flared cotton skirt is £45.99, available in white, black or red. At Boden, the Double Cloth Smocked Skirt comes in at £66, but for something more budget friendly, M&S's Pure Cotton Shirred Midi A-Line Skirt is under £30. But the fact that so many high street retailers are stocking them cements them as a go-to trend for the season. The 36-year-old paired the skirt with a Black Sleeveless Textured Trim Bandeau Top for £26. The beaded notch detail and side split hem add an elevated twist to the minimalist bandeau cut, which is an insanely sought-after silhouette this year. Frankie shared her thoughts on the top, saying: 'Love the top and the detailing.' She added: 'If you're on a city break then this is the perfect outfit. Stay cool in the heat but still look put together.' Accessorising the look, she added a Black Mini Raffia Cross Body Tote Bag featuring a front flap with popper fastening, gold branding detail, and a convenient crossbody strap, as well as a pair of Black Toe Thong Wedge Heeled Sandals (£38), ideal for the petite 5'3' presenter with their 12cm heel. Completing the look with the retailer's £14 Black Cat Eye Slim Chain Sunglasses, Frankie commented: 'I feel very chic in this, it's a nice little dinner outfit.' And we couldn't agree more, with both capsule wardrobe staples prime for styling with basically anything you already own. Frankie isn't the only ex-Saturdays singer that's a fan of River Island, though. Rochelle Humes wore the brand's Blue Seam Detail Balloon Leg Jeans, priced at £49 for an episode of This Morning last month. She told her fans: "There's a new rule, we didn't used to wear jeans but we can wear jeans now. This is amazing news to me. So these are River Island, they're like a nice barrel cut." But if it's Frankie's summery skirt you're keen to snap up for your latest getaway, shoppers can take a look here.

Ed Sheeran reveals secret boozy night out with major sports star as he lifts lid on his huge celeb pals
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) AS one of the nicest blokes in the music business, it's no wonder Ed Sheeran's little black book is crammed full of huge celebrities. And in a new chat on The Louis Theroux podcast, he talks about famous friends including Van Morrison, who once woke him up at 6am after a boozy night out with Rory McIlroy, demanding to see him. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 16 Ed Sheeran's little black book is crammed full of huge celebrities Credit: Getty 16 Van Morrison once woke Ed up at 6am after a boozy night out Credit: Getty 'I was doing a gig in Belfast and my grandmother had come down to the gig and she loves golf,' Ed said. 'Rory had come down and she loved being around him. We stayed up super late talking to him, and I'd say we went to bed at like 4am. 'About 6am, I got a call on my hotel phone from the hotel — 'Mr Morrison's in the lobby, he wants to have breakfast with you'. 'I was half asleep and half drunk. So I just hung up and I was like, 'I have no idea who Mr Morrison is.' 'Then I got another call and they said, 'Sorry, Van Morrison is in'. 'I ran downstairs and there he was waiting for me and we had breakfast, which is really surreal. 'I'm a huge fan. We spoke for ages about everything we did. One of the subjects was actually Spotify. 'I had embraced Spotify quite early in my career and I think he was asking me to explain Spotify to him.' Ed also talked about hanging out with Eminem after he worked on the rapper's 2018 song River. 'He loves comic books, Marvel movies and video games,' Ed explained. Ed Sheeran left red-faced after cops in India demand he shut down street performance 'I sent him a Nintendo 64 with Goldeneye on it because he'd never played it.' About his new album Play, which is out on September 12, Ed said it feels like a double-edged sword. He explained: 'The two joys of my life professionally are writing songs and performing. I f***ing hate releasing music. 'You love the songs so much and then suddenly you're putting them out there and that might change your relationship with them if other people don't like them. 'I'm trying my hardest not to let that happen. 'I find releasing it just kind of sucks the joy out of it.' ED ON DAVE... 16 British rapper and producer Dave Credit: AFP 'HE'S done a lot of production on the new record because aside from being a brilliant lyricist, he's also an incredible producer and writer.' ...ON SIR ELTON 16 Ed with fellow Brit Sir Elton John Credit: Rex 'HE still calls me Ed She-ran. I just think that's just programmed in.' ...ON STORMZY 16 Ed counts Brit rapper Stormzy as one of his pals Credit: Rex 'I BOUGHT my first car, a Mini, and I then drove him to the pub. He didn't fit in the back.' ...ON EMINEM 16 Ed in the studio with American rapper Eminem 'HE seems like he'd be quite shy but I don't think he is when you get to know him. His humour is very similar to mine.' ...ON SAM FENDER 16 Ed says he and Sam Fender have 'mutual respect' Credit: Getty 'I MESSAGED him just being like, 'I really like this song'. I still haven't met him, but I at least know that there's a connection somewhere of mutual respect.' PITBULL LEADS BALD E PARTY 16 Pitbull is back at London's O2 Arena Credit: Alamy 16 Pitbull fans love wearing bald caps Credit: Splash 16 The Sun's Jack in his outfit alongside a beaming Pitbull Credit: Supplied PITBULL is back at London's O2 Arena for another two sold out nights after a successful show earlier this year. Delivering possibly the most fun gig i've ever been to, his Party After Dark Tour is a nostalgic trip down memory lane with feel good banger after banger after banger. Everyone there simply wants to have a good time - with the tube to the venue packed with fans in costumes all singing at the top of their lungs. Chancing my luck, I opted to dress as Mr Worldwide himself... and safe to say it went down a treat backstage. After a flurry of possibly the hottest female dancers I've ever seen, Pitbull appeared out of his dressing room - catching my outfit and grinning from ear to ear. "Man I love it" he laughed before giving me a big hug. I quickly launched into a short tale of how I'd ran to Soho that afternoon to buy my baldcap - bumping into three other music lovers doing exactly the same thing. Smiling Pitbull said: "Well next time you see them you make sure you tell them from me thank you. I love all my Bald E's. "We are going to have a great show tonight. I can feel it. "For the first time tonight my band are going to dress as Bald E's too." He added on stage: "I tell you why I call you guys [fans] the bald E's. Because we fly high, and we soar high like bald eagles. So therefore we are the bald E's "And everywhere we go, and anytime you're there, you put on that bald cap and you already know you are going to have the time of your life. In fact new date from QR Code Generator have revealed searches for 'bald cap' have it an all time high in the UK amid Pitbull's tour. It's hard to quite put into words the energy in the O2 - 90% of the sold out 20,000 venue has come dressed as the star. Sure concerts like Taylor Swift have an amazing atmosphere and everyone dresses up but vibe at Pitbull is... different. No one cares about looking sexy or Instagram-ready as they are wearing a rubber bald cap and shirt. They are simply there to have a good time - and boy does he pull it off. You don't need therapy. You just need two hours at a Pitbull gig. By Jack Hardwick MARIAH BACK TO HER GOLD SELF 16 Mariah Carey dazzles in a glittering mini-dress Credit: Getty 16 Jennifer Hudson was also at the event Credit: AP 16 Doechii won Best Female Hip-Hop Artist Credit: Getty GOLDEN girl Mariah Carey turned back the clock and looked remarkably youthful as she performed at the BET Awards in Los Angeles. Wearing a glittering mini-dress, she sang her new single, Type Dangerous, before collecting the Ultimate Icon Award. Jennifer Hudson, Snoop Dogg and Kevin Hart were also at the event celebrating black entertainers, as was breakout rapper Doechii, who used her Best Female Hip-Hop Artist speech to take aim at Donald Trump for his crackdown on people protesting against immigration raids. The star, who will perform at Glastonbury later this month, said: 'Trump is using military forces to stop a protest. 'I want you all to consider what kind of government it appears to be when every time we exercise our democratic right to protest, the military is deployed against us. What type of government is that?' PULP HEAD TO GLASTO 16 Jarvis Cocker of Pulp performing on stage Credit: PA GLASTONBURY got fans into a frenzy when organisers announced the full festival line-up, including a mysterious band called Patchwork. Now I can reveal who the band destined for the Saturday Pyramid Stage actually are – as I have been told punters can expect a set from Pulp. Jarvis Cocker and co headlined the festival 30 years ago and last did a surprise set there in 2011. But they are about to return following their comeback with new music. The band are set to top the charts this Friday for the first time in 27 years thanks to their album More, so this will be the perfect way to celebrate. There are also plenty of whispers about surprise Glasto performances from Lewis Capaldi and Haim, so there's lots to look forward to in three weeks' time. But organiser Emily Eavis kept schtum about who Patchwork are when asked about them during the Sidetracked by Glastonbury podcast on BBC Sounds. Speaking to hosts Annie MacManus and Nick Grimshaw, she said: 'I've been working on Patchwork for a long time. I tell you what, pretty much since I saw you this time last year I've been working on Patchwork.' Asked if that meant they took 'a lot of persuading', she added: 'Well, it's more logistical.' Foo Fighters did a set under the name The Churnups in 2023, and this sounds just as exciting. MILEY END TO FAMILY QUARREL 16 Miley Cyrus says she was the one who ended her family fallout Credit: Splash MILEY CYRUS has revealed she was the one to end the family feud following her parents' divorce. On the Reclaiming with Monica Lewinsky podcast yesterday, she explained: 'My family and I have had a really difficult, dark decade. 'Half of us weren't speaking to each other at one point. And we cleaned all that up. That was a really important part of my year.' She added: 'I watched what happens when you don't clean things up as they're happening.' Asked if they'd had therapy, Miley said: 'We're so messy. We didn't even do any of that. To get each other in a room to even get to counselling would have been a war. So it was easier to just go, 'white flag'.' Miley, above, has written a song, Secrets, for her next album, about reconnecting with dad Billy Ray. RONNIE'S A PAINT ROLLER 16 Rock great Ronnie Wood shows he's handy with a paintbrush Credit: Getty FANS of Ronnie Wood can get their hands on his new art as he celebrates 50 years as a member of the Rolling Stones. The rock great, who is as handy with a paintbrush as he is with a guitar pick, had his work on display at the band's official store in London's Carnaby Street last week, before putting the items up for sale on his website. The musician's new exhibits include 50 – The Portraits which are hand-finished canvases of Sir Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and the band's late, great drummer Charlie Watts. Superfans can also buy an exclusive bundle that includes four portraits and a setlist from Ronnie's first show with the Stones in 1975, along with a limited-edition 7in vinyl single which contains a new recording by Ronnie. MUSE, the best live band I've ever seen in my life, have stepped in at the last minute to replace Kings of Leon as top of the bill for Madrid's Mad Cool Festival. The American rockers were forced to pull out after singer Caleb Followill injured his foot. But British act Muse will headline the opening night on July 10 instead. MICK HUCKNALL will be awarded ASCAP's Golden Note Award as he celebrates Simply Red's 40th anniversary. He will be handed the honour – recognising extraordinary career milestones – at an American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers ceremony in London on June 17. Previous winners include George Michael, Lionel Richie, Stevie Wonder and Sir Elton John. London singer and songwriter Lola Young will pick up the ASCAP Vanguard Award. Mick, you're my hero.
