GAP teams up with Meghan Markle-loved brand for luxe-for-less range from £35
GAP's second collab with Meghan Markle-approved brand DÔEN is full of dreamy florals, picnic-print gingham and timeless denim that starts from £35
GAP has just launched its second collaboration with DÔEN, the chic California brand loved by Meghan Markle, and it's as floaty, floral and feminine as we'd hoped it be.
Known for its vintage-inspired silhouettes and romantic prints, DÔEN has long been a favourite among celebs and fashion lovers, but its price tags are definitely on the pricier side. That's why this luxe-for-less collab is right up our street.
The collection combines DÔEN's signature elegant boho style with GAP's high quality wardrobe basics to create the perfect spring/summer capsule wardrobe. Expect ditsy floral dresses, spring-perfect gingham prints, classic denim, and pointelle knits.
Whether you're adding to your summer wardrobe or just want to channel some Meghan Markle-approved style without breaking the bank, we've rounded up a few of our favourite pieces from the collab.
Blue DÔEN Floral Maxi Dress
Available for £120 here
Florals for spring? Groundbreaking. No but seriously, you really can't go wrong with having a floral dress in your spring/summer wardrobe, and this maxi ticks all the boxes. The square neck and elasticated waist really help to accentuate your figure, and being 100% cotton ensures this dress will keep you breezy and cool all summer long.
Black DÔEN Eyelet Sleeveless Top
Available for £60 here
One of favourites in the collection is this sleeveless eyelet top. It has that boho chic feel that's right on trend for this year, and is one of those versatile pieces you could make work for any occasion. Team with jeans to make it feel more casual or pair with a white maxi skirt for the ultimate bohemian, relaxed vibe.
Blue DÔEN Denim Sailor Mini Dress
Available for £80 here
GAP's denim is some of the best, so it's no surprise to see a few denim pieces in the collection. We love that they've strayed away from classic jeans adn shorts, and opted for items like this sailor mini dress. The shift silhouette is trending right now, and we love how the collar elevates the piece from being just a simple mini dress.
Navy/Blue DÔEN 100% Linen Gingham Maxi Dress
Available for £180 here
Gingham is always in for spring, and as it should be. It's a timeless fabric that will literally never go out style. And the best part about this dress? It's 100% linen meaning it has natural breathability, as well as moisture-wickening properties so you'll stay cool and dry all summer long. If you're looking for the ultimate office dress that can transition into post-work plans, this is it.
Cream DÔEN Linen-Blend Pointelle Cardigan
Available for £65 here
A thin-knit cardigan really is a life saver in the UK summertime. You never know when the weather could change and we love how cute this pointelle linen-blend cardi looks. Layer over a mini dress when the temperature drops on those British summer evenings.
White DÔEN Eyelet Maxi Dress
Available for £165 here
With it's cinched waist, all over eyelet detailing and fit and flare silhouette, this dress is the ultimate summer dress. It's chic, feminine and has that vintage-feel that DÔEN's dresses nail so well.
And if the white isn't your colour, don't worry, as it's also available in a classic black. Team with strappy gladiator sandals and a trendy basket bag for a picnic day out with the girls.
A few other summer buys we've been enjoying recently include the Adalia White Cotton Blouse from Finery. If you've been looking for a blouse that feels polished but still lets you breathe, this crisp white top is the perfect combination of stylish and practical.
While New Look's Linen-Look Shirred Waist Midi Shirt Dress is under £40 and has shoppers singing its praises for its adaptability, noting you could wear it to the office in the summer or pair it with pumps at the weekend.

Heist film starring acting royalty now on Amazon Prime but fans say same thing
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Directed by James March, King of Thieves is a 2018 British crime film inspired by true events. The screenplay, penned by Joe Penhall, Duncan Campbell, and Mark Seal, brings to life the notorious Hatton Garden safe deposit burglary - a heist carried out over the Easter Bank Holiday weekend in April 2015 by a band of seasoned elderly criminals. The film boasts a star-studded cast including Michael Caine, Tom Courtenay, Michael Gambon, Francesca Annis, Charlie Cox, Jim Broadbent, Paul Whitehouse and Ray Winstone. It tells the tale of a group of retired crooks (and one young alarms expert) who plan and pull off a daring robbery in London's jewellery quarter during the Easter Bank Holiday weekend. However, their final big score quickly descends into chaos as greed takes hold. Despite its stellar cast and gripping real-life story, King of Thieves failed to make a significant impact either commercially or critically. Box Office Mojo reports that the film only raked in $7,518 domestically in the United States and Canada, with just $3,502 earned during its opening weekend. Globally, the film grossed around $11.5 million at the box office, reports the Daily Record. The film's scenes were predominantly shot in central London and around Margate in Kent, showcasing venues like the Wig and Pen Pub, the Nayland Rock Hotel, Harbour Arm, outside Turner Contemporary, and Margate railway station. Additionally, one can spot Abbott's Cliff in Dover during the train sequence when Brian Reader (played by Michael Caine) heads to Margate. (Image: Publicity Picture) Despite its cinematic setting, the movie didn't quite stir up a storm, settling for a 31 per cent review score on Rotten Tomatoes. Both critics and audiences seemed underwhelmed by how the film was brought to life. Echoing the sentiment, a critic wrote: "The Hatton Gardens heist was a ballsy operation. You can't say the same about King of Thieves." Another reviewer pointed out: "King of Thieves really should have delivered way more cinematic swag than it does." Meanwhile, a commentator dissected the film's tone: "Torn between jaunty genre hijinks and a bleaker streak of realism, it's a strangely stiff, lethargic account of a cracking tale." The stinging critiques continued with a reviewer saying: "There is one joke in King of Thieves, and it's that the thieves are old. That's it-that's the whole movie," while another lamented: "Marsh had his hands on some very fancy jewels. What he didn't have, sadly, was the script to make them gleam." The audience feedback was similarly tepid, with one viewer saying: "Passes the time but little else. Tries hard to be both a comedy and a thriller but doesn't really succeed at either. For such a daring burglary, this could have surely been done a lot better." Another cinema-goer likened the film to the bungled robbery it portrays, adding: "Based on a real account of a robbery in London and featuring a superb all British cast. Very much like the botched heist, the plot here is in shambles all over the place." A different viewer didn't mince their words expressing their disappointment, saying: "It's poorly written. The heist isn't that exciting. The humour isn't funny." Meanwhile, another audience member remarked: "Not a gripping tale. At times the audience were laughing - was this supposed to be a comedy? ? ? Difficult to remember the names of the was who? "Undoubtedly the royalty of British male actors but the story was weak. It could have been much better if there was character and story development of the Police activity pitted against the perpetrators. Shame - not worth a look."
