A third wrote: "Loose fitting and quite thin material but great for a holiday in the daytime or could be dressed up for nighttime." Someone else put: "I have bought this dress in black, khaki and burgundy. It's a great length, comfortable to wear and washed and iron perfectly. They will be coming with me on my next holiday for sure!"

Another reported: "Brilliant fit! Sits snuggly and it holds in all the right places, it really complements my figure and I got lots of nice comments at the event I wore it to!". And, someone else called it a "fantastic, easy-to-wear summer dress". They added: "Very flattering and keeps you cool."
However, some customers had issues, with one stating they had to return the dress to Next, claiming: "Returned as neck too high and felt uncomfortable." Another suggested that the dress was "shapeless" and there were complaints about the placement of the twist knot by others. Beyond the fit and design, some patrons who selected the plain red option reported that it turned out to be "more of a bright orange" upon arrival.

Madonna's hilarious reaction to finding out she's related to the Pope
Madonna has responded to the news that she is related to Pope Leo XIV, who was elected as the 267th Pope of the Roman Catholic Church in May, with a typically tongue-in-cheek response It seems that Madonna's hit 'Like a Prayer' has gained an unexpected layer of significance. The Queen of Pop has been linked to none other than Pope Leo XIV, according to a fascinating interactive piece in The New York Times by Henry Louis Gates Jr. , who worked with American Ancestors and the Cuban Genealogy Club of Miami. The article, which builds on the work of New Orleans genealogist Jari C. Honora, reveals that the Pope has Black ancestors and highlights his Creole heritage – a discovery first made by Jari. Madonna is among several celebrities found to share ancestry with the Pope through a Canadian forebear, Louis Boucher de Grandpre from Trois-Rivieres, Quebec. This ancestral tie places the Pope in a family tree with a host of "Canadian-derived distant cousins," including not just Madonna but also Angelina Jolie, Hillary Clinton, Justin Bieber, Jack Kerouac, and both Pierre and Justin Trudeau. Upon discovering her familial ties to the pontiff, Madonna couldn't hide her excitement. On Monday, June 16, she took to social media, sharing a screenshot of the revelation on X/ Twitter and then posting a black-and-white snap of herself with her dad, Silvio Ciccone, on Instagram Stories, as reported by Mirror US, reports the Express. In the shared photo, captioned "Silvio, We're related to the Pope! Strike a pose!", we see Silvio sitting comfortably while Madonna strikes a dramatic pose with hands aloft. It's worth noting that Madonna's relationship with Catholicism has always been a theme in her life and career, long before this newfound connection to Pope Leo came to light. Raised in the Catholic faith, she chose Veronica as her confirmation name and has since developed her "spiritual practices." Throughout her life, she has explored various religious paths including Kabbalah, Judaism, and Sufism, yet Catholicism has consistently influenced her, notably in her music career with its symbols. She is recognised for bringing the cross into vogue as a fashion statement within pop culture. The 66 year old icon has often been at the centre of controversy, facing allegations of blasphemy and sacrilege due to her provocative use of Catholic imagery. Her controversial 1989 hit 'Like A Prayer', with its burning crosses and sensual portrayal of Jesus, provoked outrage from the Vatican. Pope John Paul II even called for a boycott of her Blond Ambition tour. In 2023, Madonna once again stirred debate with her Vanity Fair cover shoot, where she depicted the Virgin Mary and included other religious motifs such as the 12 apostles. Reflecting on the backlash to 'Like a Prayer' and the subsequent calls for a boycott, she shared her astonishment at being targeted by the Church, remarking that they did not grasp the positive intentions behind her artistry, saying, "shocked to see myself being attacked by the Church, because they weren't able to understand how much my work was trying to produce something good." In a surprising turn of events, American cardinal Robert Francis Prevost has been chosen as the 267th pope of the Roman Catholic Church, following a conclave on 8 May. Now known as Pope Leo, the 69 year old cardinal is the first American to hold the esteemed position. Pope Leo succeeds Pope Francis, who sadly passed away on 21 April at the age of 88 due to complications from a cerebral stroke that led to a coma and heart failure. Born on 14 September 1955, in Chicago, Pope Leo grew up in the South Suburban town of Dolton with his two brothers, Louis and John. His parents, Louis Marius Prevost and Mildred Martinez, were a school superintendent and a librarian involved in parish life, respectively. Interestingly, Pope Leo's heritage is a mix of French, Italian, and Spanish, with his father being of French and Italian descent, while his mother was of Spanish ancestry. According to his brother, the family also discovered Creole roots on their father's side, but it was never a topic of discussion among the siblings. It remains to be seen whether Pope Leo will respond to Madonna's 2015 tweet, in which she reached out to Pope Francis, stating, "I'm a good Catholic. I swear! I mean I don't Swear! Its been a few decades since my last confession. Would it be possible to meet up one day to discuss some important matters?"I've been excommunicated three times. It doesn't seem fair. Sincerely, Madonna. "".

Ariana Grande 'devastated' as she announces heartbreaking family death
Pop icon Ariana Grande and her family have announced the death of the Wicked star's beloved grandmother. Marjorie Grande, known affectionately known as 'Nonna' to Ariana and her brother Frankie Grande, was 99-years-old. Announcing the sad news on her Instagram Stories this evening, Ariana, 31, reposted a statement from her mother, Joan Grande, announcing Marjorie's death. "We are devastated to share that the beloved matriarch of our family has passed away," read the statement signed by Ariana and her family. "Marjorie (Nonna) Grande passed away peacefully in her home and was surrounded by family and loved ones for every moment of her last few weeks. We thank you for your love, support, and for respecting our privacy as we grieve and celebrate her beautiful, extraordinary life." Ariana often shared posts about her beloved grandmother on social media and even took her to see her film, Wicked, last November. The Thank U, Next hitmaker found herself fielding an uncomfortable question about her grandmother on the red carpet at the 82nd Golden Globe Awards, where her role as Glinda in Wicked earned her a nod for best female actor in a supporting role. During the star-studded event in January, the celebrated pop singer and actress was asked about the first person she rang after receiving news of her nomination. Ariana disclosed that her mother, Joan Grande, was the first to know. The interviewer seemed taken aback that Ariana hadn't called her grandmother, Nonna, first. When questioned whether her grandmother was still with us, Ariana confirmed: "Yeah, my Nonna. She's 99 [years old]. Nonna was second and then yeah, Cynthia and my acting coach Nancy Banks, who I just called on the way over here." Social media users were stunned by the interviewer's blunt question. "WHY WOULD THE INTERVIEWER ASK IF SHES STILL ALIVE [loudly crying face emoji]," one fumed, with another adding: "IS SHE STILL ALIVE? ? ? ? ? ? don't do nonna like that." As the news of Nonna's death broke, Ariana's brother shared a detailed tribute to his late loved one. Captioning a series of snaps of himself alongside his beloved grandmother, the singer wrote to fans: "Dearest Nonna, How can I ever thank you enough for the countless lessons you wove into my heart over the years? "You taught me how to love without conditions, how to dominate a three-card poker table, how to never ever take a bad picture, how to light up a dinner party just by being in the room, how to give the warmest, safest hugs, how to stand in my truth unapologetically, how to not give a single f*ck about what anyone thinks, and most importantly, how to show up for family in a way so deep, so unwavering, that I promise you: I will carry that torch fiercely in your absence. No question. No option. "You always called me the apple of your eye, Nonna and you have always been mine. A best friend. My safe place. I honestly don't know how this world turns without you in it, but I do know this: I know you so well, I will never have to wonder what you'd say or think in any situation. Your voice, your love, your spirit is forever part of me. So in that way, we'll never be apart. "I love you endlessly, my sweet Nonna. I miss you more than words can hold. My heart is shattered, but I feel you watching over me, already so proud of everything I've done and all that is about to come. "Thank you for every moment, every lesson, every hug, every belly laugh. Until we meet again, and we will, please kiss Grandpa and Aunt Judy for me, and tell them how much I love and miss them too. Forever your apple."

This High Street Shirt Looks Like Loewe – But It's Over £500 Cheaper
Few sartorial wins feel as satisfying as spotting a designer-looking staple on the high street. From M&S's scarf coat (a dead-ringer for Toteme's sell-out style) to Anthropologie's Melie Bianco bag featuring the same woven detailing as the coveted Bottega design, the high street continues to deliver affordable gems that punch well above their price tag. This month, fashion set favourite Zara has taken the spotlight with a chic new shirt that channels Loewe. The shirt in question? Zara's Embroidered Pocket Shirt, featuring detailing that looks strikingly similar to Loewe's cult-favourite Cotton Embroidered Logo Shirt. Crafted from a soft fabric, it combines the sophisticated fit of a shirt with the relaxed fabric of Lyocell - making it a go-to for smart balmy weather dressing, especially now that temperatures are on the rise. Naturally, the most stylish dressers have already taken notice of Zara's shirt, and one quick scroll through Instagram will reveal a laundry list of fashion insiders already wearing the designer-style number. Zara, Embroidered Pocket Shirt This cool shirt is a versatile addition to your summer wardrobe, taking you from work to dinner plans in an instant - just switch up your shoes. Of course, this isn't the first time a high street brand has looked to the Spanish label for inspiration. Last year, the coveted Loewe Squeeze bag - a chain embellished leather staple loved by everyone from Emily Ratajowski to Rosie Huntington-Whiteley - was reimagined by H&M for a fraction of the price. Shortly after, the viral Anagram tank top (worn by the likes of Kylie Jenner) triggered a flurry of affordable lookalikes across the high street, from River Island to 4th And Reckless. When it comes to styling, consider pairing the shirt with the matching Cotton Asymmetric Linen Skirt. Swishy and sculptural in equal measure, it adds movement to the look while keeping things polished - perfect for everything from al fresco dinners to summer office days. Alternatively, if you want to wear the shirt separately, look to the fashion pack for style inspiration - a classic pair of straight leg jeans or wide-leg trousers are all you need. Shop the matching skirt below. 2. Zara, Asymmetric Linen Shirt This linen skirt is the ultimate midi to have in your wardrobe rotation this summer, incredibly stylish and equally as practical for warm weather.
