As well as a gorgeous yellow dress and a black polka dot frock that's bound to impress, the brunette beauty modelled a red bandeau top and a matching midi skirt, both of which have only recently hit shelves.
Alongside the short clip, the influencer beamed: 'Tesco haul number two.'

Pia, who is from the UK, was left beaming with her new F&F Edit Cotton Rich Shirred Bandeau Top, which she paired with the F&F Edit Cotton Rich Shirred Waist Full Midi Skirt.
She styled the outfit with a pair of slip-on heels, chunky gold jewellery and a gold bag - a look that is sure to leave many open-mouthed.
Both supermarket finds range from a size 6 to a size 22 and are available to order online.
According to Tesco bosses, these F&F buys are 'must-have items for the season'.
Not only this, but those as Tesco also hailed the midi length skirt, which is priced at £22.50, as a 'statement' piece, made from a cotton rich fabric.
Tesco bosses recognised that the skirt contains 'modal for extra comfort and breathability' and features a 'gathered elasticated waist and a relaxed silhouette for a laidback look'.
I'm 5'3 and a size 10 - Tesco is killing it with their summer co-ords, my haul was amazing & I got 25% off everything too
Meanwhile, the matching bandeau top, which will cost shoppers just £16, is 'cotton rich' and 'perfect for sunny-day styling.'
The gathered detailing of this top 'adds texture', while the strapless design 'offers a flattering fit'.
The set is sure to be a winner with many fashion fans this summer and when worn together, will be ideal for garden parties, holidays, and beyond.
Reasons to shop supermarket fashion
When looking for new pieces to add to your seasonal wardrobe, or update your basics, there's no need to spend hours walking around clothes shops, or scrolling online. Just pick up a dress or two alongside your fruit and veg...
They're convenient - Chances are you visit your supermarket more times than a shopping centre or high street.
It's affordable - For basics to more fashion-led pieces, supermarkets are leading the way for budget fashion that doesn't look cheap.
They're more on-trend that you think - With a customer database larger than the average high street store, shops like ASDA, Sainsbury's and Tesco are able to cater to the markets and predict trends in a lot more areas than just food supply.
They fit well - Fits and lengths often come with a little more modesty in mind. Fabrics are often highly practical too—think plenty of 100% cotton that can be thrown into the washing machine without thought.
Fashion fans beam
The Instagram clip, which was posted under the username @pia_gracesmith, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly racked up 128,000 views.
Not only this, but it's also amassed 1,818 likes and 39 comments.
Tesco clothing is on point this year
Instagram user
Fashion fans were left gushing with Pia's Tesco haul and many eagerly rushed to the comments to express this.
One person said: 'Love it all, you look amazing.'
Is supermarket fashion the new high street?
DEPUTY Fashion Editor Abby McHale weighs in:
The supermarkets have really upped their game when it comes to their fashion lines. These days, as you head in to do your weekly food shop you can also pick up a selection of purse-friendly, stylish pieces for all the family.
Tesco has just announced a 0.7 per cent increase in the quarter thanks to a 'strong growth in clothing' and M&S has earnt the title of the number one destination for womenswear on the high street.
Asda's clothing line George has made £1.5 million for the supermarket in 2023, 80 per cent of Sainsbury's clothes sold at full price rather than discounted and Nutmeg at Morrisons sales are also up 2 per cent in the past year.
So what is it about supermarket fashion that is becoming so successful?
Apart from the clothing actually being affordable, it's good quality too - with many being part of schemes such as the Better Cotton Initiative.
A lot of the time they keep to classic pieces that they know will last the customer year after year.
Plus because they buy so much stock they can turn around pieces quickly and buy for cheaper because of the volumes.
Another added: 'Omg all of the outfits look amazing on you!'
A third commented: 'Adds everything to basket.'
Meanwhile, someone else claimed: 'Tesco clothing is on point this year.'

You've been drinking beer wrong and it's likely you've been doing it for years

Beer lovers, this one's for you. If you've been drinking beer all your life, you'll be surprised to find out you've probably been doing it wrong - according to an expert As the sun shines, many Brits flock to beer gardens for a refreshing pint with mates, but it turns out we might be enjoying our brews all wrong. From guzzling too quickly to choosing the incorrect glass, there are several faux pas you're likely committing when it comes to your pint. Grace Daley, Cruzcampo's UK senior brand manager, has revealed that a traditional pint glass might not be the best choice for your beer, which could shock many die-hard ale experts. Grace shared insights on why Cruzcampo is often served in a chalice to keep the beer "remains cold" and maintain the "lively" effervescence, as opposed to a standard pint glass. ‌ Grace advises beer enthusiasts to sip their drink "slowly", engaging "all your senses" to transform each gulp into an experience rather than hastily consuming without appreciation. ‌ For those aiming to impress as a "real expert", she suggests letting the flavour "glide over your tongue from front to back". Moreover, Grace warned against storing beer in the freezer or exposing it to direct sunlight, as these conditions can adversely affect the beer's taste. ‌ Beer isn't just for toasting; it can complement a fine meal as well. Forget what you know about wine pairings - beer has entered the chat, and according to one enthusiast, Cruzcampo is best enjoyed alongside tapas, because "the crisp, malty and slightly sweet taste, with a hint of bitterness cuts through rich, full-flavoured tapas". But that's not all - the way we've been drinking wine could be all muddled up too. Heather Muriello, a savvy New York-based booze expert, shared her wisdom on Instagram to her 10k fans, promising to elevate everyone's wine skills, especially when entertaining. She suggested in her post on her @winefarer page: "Have you heard of the 20/20 rule for wine?" She goes on to reveal the insider tip: "Learn this game-changing 20/20 rule in wine. Chill your reds in the fridge 20 minutes before serving to unleash their complex flavours, while letting whites rest out of the fridge for 20 minutes to reveal their full bouquet and bright acidity."

How a park under NYC's formerly 'most hated' bridge became its coolest venue

The walk from the Graham Avenue L station was just 30 minutes, but on the first really warm day of the early summer as the shaded sidewalks of Williamsburg disappeared into an increasingly industrial, treeless landscape, I kept wondering if the schlep would actually be worth it. When I arrived at my destination under the Kosciuszko Bridge (I can hear my father chuckling in disbelief), I was more than pleasantly surprised. This was June 2021 and I was there for Reggae Under the Bridge —one of the early, legally-sanctioned events held after the most strict Covid regulations had been lifted. My whole community and many more were there enjoying the sun, cool shade and—well into the evening—deep cuts blasting out of a massive sound system that overlooked the Newtown Creek and the eastern Manhattan skyline. It was absolutely joyous. Today, Under the K-Bridge has become one of New York's most unique and hippest venues. The 6.7-acre site—an open-air, multiuse space owned by the State Department of Transportation and run by the North Brooklyn Parks Alliance—has seen everything from events held by House of Yes to massively-attended DJ sets from popular electronic acts like Björk and Four Tet (whose recent set featured a surprise appearance from Skrillex). Alternative acts have taken to the space too: Hardcore punk group Turnstile performed at the K-Bridge in early June and CBGB Fest will bring the likes of Iggy Pop, the Sex Pistols and the Linda Lindas to the space in late September. View this post on Instagram A post shared by The Bowery Presents (@bowerypresents) 'Under the K-Bridge wants to take all my money this summer,' says Brooklyn-based writer Ana Yglesias, who plans to attend Ladyland Festival with Cardi B and FKA Twigs in June. Bands, bookers and fans like Yglesias are drawn to Under the K-Bridge for its only-in-New-York vibe. 'Under the K-Bridge offers such a unique experience for New Yorkers, something very raw, gritty and for the music,' says GRAMMY-winning South African DJ Black Coffee, whose two-night stand at the venue in 2024 drew thousands. 'You feel like you're part of a secret.' 'You're in the trendiest neighborhoods in New York, Greenpoint, Williamsburg, and then it kind of becomes this industrial neighborhood that you can't quite figure out what you're getting into,' says Jim Glancy, copartner of Bowery Presents, the main agency booking the venue. 'Then you start to hear music, and you're under this bridge and there's five or six or seven thousand people with sound and lights and this incredible music, and I think it is just touching people in a pretty incredible way.' Katie Denny Horowitz, executive director of the North Brooklyn Parks Alliance, points to a unique juxtaposition of nature and development. '[Under the K-Bridge exists] against the backdrop of the kind of gritty New York City that, I think, a lot of people are yearning for. It is not a fake space. It is a space that you do not just come across. You feel like you're part of a secret.' The park is situated directly under the BQE between Van Dam Street and Newtown Creek—a place that once seemed largely inaccessible due to the industrial business zone surrounding it and the traffic overhead. When a $1 billion makeover of the original Kosciuszko Bridge (the city's 'most hated,' per the New York Times) was completed in 2019, the Parks Alliance was already working on a plan to build out the space underneath the bridge's southern span. The Alliance held community workshops and visioning sessions, eventually landing on a multiuse space that included a skate park and a small amphitheater. Crucially for music lovers, 'large-scale events were something that was part of [the park's] DNA before shovels even hit the ground,' Denny Horowitz says. Following an illegal rave and a couple of break-ins by excitable skaters, the space officially opened in June 2021. Because the park is owned by the state rather than the city, Under the K-Bridge was subject to slightly different Covid regulations around gatherings. The Alliance's rollout of live events was incremental, beginning with community programming like Reggae Under the Bridge and House of Yes's Summer of Love. The Alliance partnered with Bowery Presents—which operates venues like Brooklyn Steel and Webster Hall, and worked with NBPA to program concerts at McCarren Park Pool a decade prior—in 2024. Last year, Bowery presented nine shows at the K-Bridge; this year it has 15 planned. 'This is obviously a completely raw space that isn't on everyone's radar at this point,' says Glancy. 'The first few shows we've had [this season], we've had industry out and they're just losing their minds about how cool it is. So I think over time, more and more artists will hear about it.' Hosting concerts Under the K-Bridge isn't without issue, however. There are no services—porta-potties must be brought in and there's nothing resembling the back-of-house infrastructure of an established venue. That austere atmosphere might lend itself more to an electronic DJ who has fewer crew on the road and requires less backline, or a punk band more attuned to the rough-hewn aesthetic of the place. 'It's also a public park with no public funding. Every dollar that is used to maintain the park… whether it's seating or horticultural features, we have to raise,' Denny Horowitz says. 'Part of the funding model was to be able to have events there that could earn enough revenue to actually pay to support the park.' Which isn't to say Under the K-Bridge has been an unprofitable venture. Glancy characterized Bowery's 2024 series on site as 'absolutely positive' while 2025 'looks good'—even for a business with tight margins. However, given the level of build required for each show, Under the K-Bridge is best fit for artists who can command higher ticket prices. Tickets to Turnstile's June 5 show are around $110 as of writing; Jamie xx, who will perform over two nights in early August, commands up to $153 for VIP admission. The North Brooklyn Parks Alliance has been host to about two dozen shows each outdoor season since 2021 and has no plans to slow down. They're working toward becoming a zero-waste event space and also plan to continue working with community organizers on free events. 'We steered away from creating this identity for the space, because it has organically achieved this reputation for attracting folks from all over the city,' Denny Horowitz says. 'The bridge itself is so mesmerizing. It has the light show from above, you have these columns overhead. That is something that isn't a visual and physical presence in any other space.'

Loose Women star lands huge new job just days after ITV daytime cull amid cash crisis

The Sun previously revealed how Loose Women is in chaos backstage with some of the stars doing the show 'through gritted teeth' as they face a 60 per cent pay cut big gig Loose Women star lands huge new job just days after ITV daytime cull amid cash crisis LOOSE Women star Judi Love has landed a huge new job just days after ITV announced their daytime cull. The ITV show's line-up had been left in the dark about cuts to their lunchtime talk show, which will take effect from January amid a cash crisis. 3 Lose Women star Judi Love has landed a huge new job amid ITV's daytime cull Credit: Rex Sweeping changes announced earlier this month mean the female-led, lunchtime talk show will only air for 30 weeks a year. So, it's a good job Judi, 44, has bagged herself a lucrative podcasting gig to keep the cash rolling in. The comedian announced on Instagram today that the first episode of Our Table will be released tomorrow. Fellow Loose Woman Charlene White is joining her, along with actor David Gyasi, comedian Michelle Deswarte and actress Deborah Ayorinde. She wrote: "Our Table will launch on Friday, the 30th, on YouTube and all major podcast platforms! "We have an exciting series lined up, featuring incredible guests and engaging conversations. Join us at Our Table!! #Ourtable #JudiLove." A second post saw the Strictly star posed with her special guests ahead of the series premiere. The Sun previously revealed how Loose Women is in chaos backstage with some of the stars doing the show 'through gritted teeth' as they face a 60 per cent pay cut. An insider told us: 'It's very tense backstage as the cast are all fuming. It's like they're putting on a brave face and doing the show through gritted teeth. 'Some people's pay could be cut by 60% as some get paid by the episode and they'll be slashed next year. ITV Daytime Shake-Up: Major Changes to Lorraine and Loose Women Revealed 'For some it's their main source of income and it's worrying to everyone.' This comes after an ITV source revealed: "We are not planning any radical changes to the panel. "All of our Loose Women are hugely valued and we celebrate each and every one and the experience and opinions they bring to the show every day. "Many of our long standing panellists have appeared on the show for the majority of its 25 year run on screens and those stalwart, Loose legends are at the core of the show's success and hugely popular with the audience. "The show remains a big priority within our daytime slate, having secured a BAFTA nomination, launched a podcast and celebrated a milestone anniversary in the last year alone." MORE ITV CUTS Loose Women isn't the only show affected by recently announced changes at ITV, that will come into play in 2026. Lorraine Kelly's show has been cut to just 30 minutes a day and will also only air for 30 weeks of the year. Good Morning Britain, with hosts including Susanna Reid, Ed Balls and Kate Garraway, will take half an hour from Lorraine and will run from 6am to 9.30am. More than 220 jobs will be lost as part of the shake-up — almost half of the 450 employed on the four flagship shows GMB, Lorraine, This Morning and Loose Women. ITV's daytime TV schedule changes in full Good Morning Britain will be extended by 30 minutes to run from 6am to 9.30am daily. Lorraine will run from 9.30am-10am, on a seasonal basis for 30 weeks of the year. During the weeks Lorraine is not on air, Good Morning Britain will run from 6am to 10am. This Morning will remain in its 10am-12.30pm slot on weekdays throughout the year. Loose Women will be in the 12.30-1.30pm slot, again on a seasonal basis for 30 weeks of the year. The changes will take effect from January 2026. 3 She's bagged herself a lucrative podcasting gig Credit: Instagram
