Amanda Holden shows most demure look yet in Royal-approved print to meet Queen Camilla
During a recent visit to Battersea Dogs & Cats Home, Queen Camilla opened up a new garden at the beloved rescue centre, and was joined by a couple of famous faces, including David Gandy and Amanda Holden.
Amanda caught our attention thanks to her gorgeous and most demure look yet, sporting an on-trend polka dot midi dress. And we've tracked down exactly where it's from.
The dress in question is the Ultimate Muse Cap Sleeve Gathered Midi Dress in White Polka Dot, priced at £185, from celebrity-loved brand Odd Muse.
The Royal-approved polka dot print has been spotted on countless members of the family, including Princess Kate, the late Princess Diana, Zara Tindall and Princess Beatrice. And it's not just the royals who love it, this trending print has been taking over 2025 with Amanda Holden being the latest celeb to rock it.
With chic cap sleeves, soft shoulder structure, and flattering side-gathered detailing, this classy midi creates a gorgeous silhouette that enhances the figure.
Although it is on the pricier side, at almost £200, the versatility of this midi makes it a worthy investment, in our opinion. Although polka dots are trending at the moment, it's a pretty timeless pattern, as the Royal Family proved, so you don't need to worry about the print dating.
On top of this, the elegant silhouette makes this appropriate for all kinds of events from garden parties to the races, and even fancy dinners with your friends.
Odd Muse already boasts huge celebrity fans from Molly-Mae and Coleen Rooney to Louisa Lytton and Amanda Holden. The brand is known for its minimalist, chic and elevated basics, from cinched-in waist mini dresses to tailored matching sets and simple blouses.
Just last year, Molly-Mae had everyone talking about her Wimbledon attire, and it was all thanks to Odd Muse's The Ultimate Muse Collar Maxi Dress, priced at £125. Fans were quick to praise her look. 'Omg the epitome of a Wimbledon lady right there wow' wrote one, whilst another added: 'The @oddmuselondon dress is stunning on you!!!'.
Additionally Amanda Holden has been nailing the fashion game with look after look recently. We loved her recent Wimbledon whites midi dress from Karen Millen that clings to all the right places, plus her latest floral number from Nadine Merabi, which is perfect for summer weddings.

Princess Kate set to continue beloved birthday tradition for Prince George's 12th celebration
Princess Kate will be preparing to celebrate her son Prince George's 12th birthday on Tuesday - and the future Queen will be doing something very special the night before Princess Kate is mere days away from participating in a delightful tradition she previously admitted she "loves". The Princess of Wales, 43, will be marking her eldest son Prince George 's birthday on Tuesday, as the young prince reaches 12. Whilst the family's private celebration plans remain under wraps, supporters can likely predict what Kate will be up to the night before. This stems from the future Queen previously disclosing a cherished annual ritual she performs ahead of her three children's birthdays. During her appearance on Mary Berry's 'A Berry Royal Christmas' in 2019, Prince William's spouse revealed she personally creates birthday cakes for Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis each year. The princess is understood to have a passion for baking and frequently burns the midnight oil crafting cakes for her offspring, establishing this as a beloved custom, reports the Express. She confided to Mary Berry: "I love making the cake." "It's become a bit of a tradition that I stay up 'til midnight with ridiculous amounts of cake mix and icing and I make far too much. But I love it." Whether the princess extends this baking tradition to her husband Prince William, 43, for his special day remains unclear. Whilst the family are presently savouring their summer break, they'll probably release a fresh photograph of George to publicly commemorate his milestone. The Prince and Princess of Wales maintain this annual practice for each of their children's birthdays, bringing immense joy to Royal enthusiasts. In May, a delightful snapshot of Princess Charlotte on a family stroll was unveiled to commemorate her 10th birthday. The previous month, an adorable photo of Prince Louis, sans front teeth, was circulated in honour of his seventh birthday.

Royal Family member who 'will never forgive' Prince Harry as reconciliation efforts continue
Prince Harry has been estranged from the Royal Family since his bombshell split with Meghan Markle in 2020 - and it's now been claimed one member will never forgive him This week, Prince Harry' s chances of reconciling with the Royal Family have come under intense scrutiny following revelations of a clandestine meeting between aides from both sides in London. The Duke of Sussex has been at odds with his family since his dramatic departure alongside Meghan Markle in 2020. Harry levelled several allegations against the royals, notably in his memoir 'Spare', which hit shelves in January 2023. In the book, he made numerous assertions about various Royal Family members, including the Queen, and referred to Camilla more than 60 times, dubbing her "the Other Woman". He cast aspersions on the Queen for being "dangerous" and intentionally leaking disparaging stories to the media, claiming she "sacrificed him on her personal PR altar". Furthermore, he contemplated whether Camilla would turn into a "wicked stepmother" to him and William prior to her marriage to Charles , reports the Express. In 'Spare', Harry recounted: "I recall wondering, right before the tea, if she'd be mean to me. If she'd be like all the wicked stepmothers in storybooks. But she wasn't." Despite Harry's recent overtures towards making amends, it has been suggested by a source that the Queen might still harbour resistance to forgiving him. The insider conveyed to Closer Magazine: "Not everyone is keen on that idea, but Camilla is opposed to Harry making any sort of return, even for a friendly visit. She doesn't want to come face to face with him, let alone show him any kind of forgiveness or mercy." They further stated: "It's her belief that any interaction King Charles has with him is only going to be bad for his health and for the family as a whole. If Harry does get the invite back to the UK, he'd be wise to stay far away from Camilla."

Women are NOT bitchy to each other at work, says Amanda Holden... It's just men setting us up
She famously got into a public spat with Sharon Osbourne and took a bitchy side-swipe at Holly Willoughby. But Amanda Holden insists that women don't fight among themselves – and office catfights are a myth promoted by men. The Britain's Got Talent judge, 54, said in an interview: 'The notion that women are bitchy to each other in the workplace is just men setting us up against each other... It's never the women.' She then added: 'I can't think of another woman who's upset me.' However, her comments in The Times are likely to come as news to Ms Osbourne and Ms Willoughby, with whom Ms Holden has rowed with very publicly in recent years. Ms Holden and Ms Osbourne began their war of words last year after The X Factor judge, 72, and Louis Walsh – appearing on Celebrity Big Brother – criticised Simon Cowell for his dress sense and claimed he 'didn't know how to keep friends'. Ms Holden immediately came out in support of Cowell, saying: 'I hated seeing certain people in a reality show dissing Simon. 'He's the person who's given them all the chances, given them a lot of money and a lifestyle they probably wouldn't have had. It's bitter and pathetic. 'It was like Cinderella with her two sisters in the background? Just stabby, stabby, stabby.' Ms Osbourne then hit back on social media: 'Unlike you, the brand of Sharon Osbourne is known worldwide. 'There are many countries that I could work in if I choose to. However, I don't have the ambition or time to do so and, unlike you, I don't work in radio or pantomime.' Afterwards Ms Holden described it as a 'storm in a teacup'. The presenter, who is one of television's highest-paid women, earning around £5 million a year, has also mocked former This Morning host Holly Willoughby. When Ms Willoughby, 44, returned to the show after Phillip Schofield's much-publicised departure, Ms Holden took a swipe at her first comments to camera. And in May, Amanda (pictured earlier this year) appeared to take another sly dig at the presenter live on air while she was presenting her Heart FM radio show 'Right, deep breath,' Ms Willoughby said, dressed in white, before asking the viewers at home: 'Firstly, are you OK? I hope so.' The next day, also dressed in white, Ms Holden appeared in an online video, saying: 'Hello, it is Tuesday, are you OK?' And in May she appeared to take another sly dig at the presenter live on air while she was presenting her Heart FM radio show. Responding to co-host Jamie Theakston's queries about whether her Netflix dating series Cheat: Unfinished Business was being renewed for a second run, Ms Holden said she didn't know. He then teased, 'What are they suggesting – are they getting Holly Willoughby?' to which Holden replied: 'No, they want a proper presenter.' A spokesman for Holden declined to comment. Not sure Holly and Sharon would agree! ...and try telling that to the office Queen Bee By Roger Dobson There's usually one found in every office: a tough-talking female boss with so-called 'Queen Bee syndrome'. But their lofty authority and disdain for their female co-workers does them no favours – particularly among other women. A study has found women at a lower level – the 'worker bees' – find female bosses arrogant, conceited and manipulative. While the authors of the study acknowledge this may be an unfair prejudice, they suggest the problem lies with women who are seen to be mimicking powerful men and taking on more masculine roles. Dubbing their research 'A Battle in the Hive', they say having this power – particularly in a male-dominated office – might lead them to criticise female subordinates more harshly to distance themselves from other women. But this only creates a negative buzz and sometimes outright hostility. 'We discovered many female subordinates believe their female managers are tough and manipulative, making it difficult to work with them,' the researchers from Istanbul Medipol University wrote in the journal Frontiers in Sociology. 'In workplaces where men predominate, female subordinates may perceive female managers as unsettlingly arrogant and conceited. 'Preference for male leaders, perceived difficulties with female managers (such as emotional reactivity) and the effect of social expectations were primary themes from our research.'
