Sophie Hawkins, a size 12 fashionista from Cardiff Bay, Wales, who recently showed off the best pair of stretchy shorts from H&M, has now taken to social media to show off her latest Primark haul, leaving many totally stunned.
After taking a trip to her local Primark, Sophie nabbed all things from a matching blue co-ord and an orange swimsuit, to a black mini dress and a beach cover-up.
But it was Primark 's new Gingham Capri Pants that left her particularly impressed.
Posting online, Sophie showed off her new fashion finds and styled her new £14 capri pants with the matching £12 top.
She accessorised the outfit with a pair of gold heels and a gold bag, as well as a pair of stylish sunglasses.
Alongside her short clip, the high-street shopper, who is 'addicted to fashion ', wrote: 'Am I trying to be Gretchen Wieners making fetch happen with a capri pant or do they need to be returned?'
The capri pants, which are decorated with an all-over gingham print, are sure to turn heads this season.
According to Primark bosses, shoppers will 'level up' their new season rotation and 'embrace warm weather days in style with these must-have capri pants'.
The iconic trousers, which first gained popularity in the 1950s and 60s, saw a major resurgence in the late 90s and early 2000s, feature a summer-ready gingham print that instantly draws the eye.
They are cut to a cropped length that's 'perfect for sun-soaked moments' and the soft fabric has a handy stretch to it.
'I need it all ASAP!' fashion fans gasp as Primark prepares to drop new summer range, including a 'beach bag of dreams'
As a result, those at Primark have described these pants as a 'comfortable option that's perfect for everyday wear.'
Not only this, but Primark bosses have also claimed that the cropped design 'adds to their cool and casual appeal'.
Why Primark is great for looking expensive on a budget
By Clemmie Feildsend, Fabulous Fashion Editor
AS someone who's no stranger to grabbing a last-minute outfit from Primark for a night out, it's about time that celebrities started catching on too.
For as long as I've been heading out, Primark has been my go-to for those 'I have nothing to wear' moments, rushing in at the last minute to find something perfect.
And I'm definitely not alone - on any Friday or Saturday night, you'll find plenty of shoppers doing the same thing, right before closing time.
But no matter what, Primark always delivers.
Now, Rita Ora is leading the charge, showing that you can snag a designer-worthy look without spending a fortune at high-end stores.
While Rita's not rushing in last minute for a red carpet outfit, she's proving you can achieve the same high-impact style for much less.
Looking stunning in her tailored suit alongside her mum Vera, Rita fit right in among the other A-listers dripping in Prada, Dior, and Victoria Beckham - if anything, she looked even better than some of the guests at The Fashion Awards.
With Myleene Klass and Roxy Horner already jumping on the Primark bandwagon, I'm sure more stars will be following suit soon enough.
And that's not all, as these pants also feature a 'flattering slim fit that smoothes effortlessly over your figure.'
Many will be pleased to know that sizes range from a 6 to a size 20 and these capri pants are now available to order on the website's new Click & Collect feature.
Fashion fans react
The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @ sostylishsoph, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly racked up 156,000 views.
Not only this, but it's also amassed 4,006 likes, 42 comments and 586 saves too.
Fashion fans were left open-mouthed by Sophie's haul and many raced to the comments to share their thoughts.
One person said: ' Pedal pushers!! Used to love those back in the 90s.'
Top Primark summer buys
IF you're looking for more Primark summer buys, then you've come to the right place.
Shoppers have recently been raving about the new Miffy PJs from Primark.
Others were desperate to nab the new leopard print nightwear.
If animal print is your thing, you'll want to check out the new maxi skirts.
The haltnerneck tops are perfect for summer.
If you're on a budget, these trousers are identical to a pair from Zara, but without the hefty price tag.
There's brilliant travel essentials for less than £10.
And if you plan on heading to the beach, you won't want to miss these crochet bags.
Another added: 'All these outfits look amazing on you.'
A third commented: 'All looks stunning!!'
Meanwhile, someone else beamed: 'Absolutely gorgeous.'
Not only this, but another fashionista chimed in: 'Need the little orange outfit.'

JoJo Siwa addresses her sexuality amid shock new romance with Chris Hughes
JoJo Siwa marked the start of 2025 Pride Month with a poignant message for her social media followers. Taking to Instagram Stories on Sunday, the 22-year-old former child star wrote, 'Happy day 1 of the happiest month. What I have learned over the last 22 years is that pride is all about love, acceptance and celebration.' She added, 'No matter who you are or what you are, you are you, you are beautiful, and you are perfect. Everyone's story is different and everyone's journey is different.' Siwa — who shocked fans when she started dating Celebrity Big Brother UK costar Chris Hughes, 32, in April — declared that the 'most beautiful thing' about love is 'that it's just love.' In conclusion, she wrote, 'Happy pride to the beautiful LGBTQIA+ community, to the allies, and to all that exist:).' From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. While starring on season 24 of Celebrity Big Brother UK, JoJo shared, 'I've always told myself I'm a lesbian, but I think being here, I've realized, "Oh no, I'm not a lesbian, I'm queer." I think that's really cool. I'm switching letters.' Later, while speaking to Us Weekly, the former Dance Moms personality said she thought the statement wouldn't make it to television. 'That was one of those conversations actually that I was having that I was like, "This will never see the light of day." I don't mind that it did, because I actually think it starts a very beautiful conversation of queer. I think queer joy is so special and so magical,' she told the outlet. She went on to reject putting her sexuality 'in a box.' 'Queer is a beautiful umbrella term for the LGBTQIA community,' Siwa emphasized. 'I think that for me to be a woman and say I have a non-binary partner, but then also say I'm a lesbian is crazy. 'I just realized within myself that the way my eyes are to the world, I think I'm just queer. It has nothing to do with anything besides that. It's nothing to be ashamed of. The world is going crazy with that one though. It flabbergasts me.' Before launching her romance with Huges, JoJo was in a brief relationship with Australian content creator Kath Ebbs, who is non-binary. Their unceremonious breakup happened at the Celebrity Big Brother UK wrap party in April. Back in 2022, Siwa was forced to defend herself after telling Yahoo! Life she doesn't like the word 'lesbian.' She took to TikTok to clarify her statement and address scrutiny from fans, stating, 'I never said that 'lesbian' was a dirty word.' In the interview with the publication the former Lifetime star said, 'I don't like the word itself. It's just like a lot. But I mean, at the end of the day, that's what I am.' She compared it to the word 'moist,' which some people don't like because of the way it sounds phonetically. 'It's like the word moist. It's just like… ugh!' she added, much to the dismay of some of her followers. She reiterated on TikTok, 'I never would say that it's a dirty word because it is not. It's not a bad word, it's not a slur, it's especially not a word that I am ashamed of saying or ashamed of identifying as by any means. The the blond dancer added, 'I don't hate the word lesbian. Whenever someone talks to me about my sexuality I just say that I'm gay.

Chloe Brockett shows ex-boyfriend Jack Fincham what he's missing as she puts on a VERY busty display in lace bra following their sixth split
made sure all eyes were on her as she showed off her very ample assets following her bitter split from her ex-boyfriend Jack Fincham. The TOWIE beauty, 24, and former Love Island winner, 34, have had a tumultuous relationship over the years after first getting together in 2019, but last month the pair went their separate ways for a sixth time after a string of heated rows. Despite the blow, Chloe took to Instagram to show that she is getting on with her life without Jack by sharing a cheeky video of herself wearing nothing but a lace bra. In the clip, she could be seen opening a drawer, flashing a glimpse of herself clad in the plunging underwear, which highlighted her cleavage. The reality star styled the striking number with a full face of makeup and glamorous hair. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Later in the day, Chloe posted a slew of stunning snaps to her Instagram stories and appeared to be in good spirits as she tried to move on. Wearing a pastel yellow cardigan and blue jeans, Chloe posed in a sultry way down the camera, before heading to a flower market to buy herself a bouquet to brighten up her day. The sexy video and pictures come after Chloe revealed a devastating panic attack forced her to cancel a solo surgery trip abroad following her split. Taking to her Instagram Stories Chloe answered followers questions and while not divulging what surgery she had been planning, said she'd made it all the way to the airport before 'freaking out' and having to head home. She wrote: 'Guys you will not believe this... I got all the way to the airport and turned around! I freaked myself out,' 'I was going alone as all my friends are busy/working etc and I was saying oh I'll be brave and independent and had a panic attack at the airport! was nothing to do with the company just sometimes thing don't feel right and you have to go with your gut!'. Last week Chloe broke her silence on the split after Jack hinted that they had reunited for a seventh time, as he mysteriously uploaded a loved-up selfie of the couple to his Instagram Stories only to delete it moments later. Speaking exclusively to MailOnline about the social media post, Chloe said: 'I'm not sure why he posted that picture of me last night I'll be honest, but what I can say is when we were in Ibiza [where the picture was taken], it was a really beautiful time in our relationship and we were happy.' Jack recently said he doubts his relationship with Chloe is over for good, and it appears Chloe feels the same, admitting: 'I'm sure he would like to go back to that time in our relationship, as would I to some extent. 'Obviously I'm focusing on moving out and things going on in my career and Jack is focusing on a lot of things going on in his. 'I wish him well and we'll always be involved in each other's lives to some extent, whether romantically or in a friendship way, but as of right now I'm focusing on myself.' 'I've seen a lot about us slamming each other, I can assure you that is definitely not what is going on. 'Me and Jack have been in each other's lives for a really long time, six nearly seven years now, and we tried living together and it didn't work for multiple reasons, not because of my OnlyFans at all.' It comes after Jack said he doubts his relationship with Chloe is over for good but doesn't currently know what is going to happen. Jack and Chloe moved into their first home together in May 2024 and even created a joint Instagram account to share their home updates. The reality star has now explained that he has moved back in with his mum while Chloe has 'moved out into her own flat'. He told The Sun: 'Chloe and I haven't been in a great place. I'm living at my mum's and she has moved out of the house we lived in and into her own flat. I don't know what will happen between us. I still love her. I doubt it's over for good. 'We've been through a hell of a lot in the past couple of years. I didn't tell her about the bulimia, it is a hard thing to discuss with anybody. Even Mum doesn't know. 'I am a very open bloke. I cry, I wear my heart on my sleeve, but bulimia, for a bloke, I didn't think it was something I could discuss.' Chloe has also begun her new chapter in life as she revealed to her Instagram followers that she has the keys to her new place. Sharing a snap of herself opening the door to her new home, Chloe gushed: 'Today's a good day.. got the keys to my new place ✨.' It comes after Chloe took to her Instagram Stories last month to open up about living with a 'narcissist' for a year, although she didn't name anyone specifically. In now-deleted posts, she told her followers: 'I wasn't going to say anything but I'm going to say something. 'I think the scariest part about living with a narcissist is that they genuinely believe their own lies. 'So they genuinely believe the things they are saying and this version of themselves that they are presenting to the world is the true version because they see them day in and day out. 'I wasn't going to say anything but when you see this person just repeatedly projecting this absolute false version of themselves to the world. 'I had the pleasure of spending a year around this human that was nothing like the person they presented themselves. 'I just had to say something. I think narcissist are probably the most scariest people you can ever encounter in your whole entire life and just for so long I genuinely believed the lies that I was being told. 'I just woke up one day and was like "wow.. you're being lied to."' Chloe later took to her Instagram Stories to reveal that she had deleted the posts in question and said she would speak on the topic 'at a later date'. MailOnline has contacted representatives of Jack for comment. It comes after Chloe announced she is once again single and wants to 'focus on myself', as they both prepared to move into separate homes. Last month, during a Q&A session with her Instagram followers, Chloe was asked if she was still in a relationship. She responded: 'No I'm not in a relationship anymore... just want to focus on myself and the things that make me happy.' When asked if she was moving in with Jack, she explained: 'No I am moving to Brentwood on my own... I can't wait to show you all my little place it's so pretty.' In another Instagram Story, she added: 'I wanna give myself a cuddle after the last year I've had... only way is up from here'.

The $25 must-have jeans from Kmart that suit every body shape: 'So flattering'
A humble pair of $25 'Mum Jeans' from Kmart are being hailed as the must-have staple of the season. Aussie shoppers are rushing to get their hands on the ultra-flattering denim fans are calling 'the best jeans ever', thanks to a fit that suits every body shape. The classic high-waisted cut, relaxed leg, and just-right amount of stretch are winning over fashionistas across the country after earning a near-perfect 4.5 out of 5 stars. The 'super comfy' jeans are so popular that it has received more than 120 five-star reviews, with many praising them for hugging the waist, smoothing the hips, and giving that effortlessly cool off-duty model vibe. 'This is the third pair I have brought over the past three years. I brought one then realised very quickly that the length and colour were bang on. Couldn't be more happier... Wash super well, slight shrinkage but once you have them on for an hour, back to normal size,' one shopper wrote in a glowing review. 'Perfect fit! I'm a size 20 /172cm tall and usually struggle to find jeans that are high waisted enough but these are brilliant. Hope Kmart keeps making these forever, literally my go-to denim at the moment,' another raved. 'I have worn my first pair to death. They are flattering, comfy, and go with everything. Can wear them cuffed or not. They are such great value for the price,' one shared. The Mum Jeans come in a mid-wash colour, with sizes ranging from 6 to 20 - making them not only stylish but inclusive too. The stretchy fit and slightly tapered leg make them perfect for dressing up with heels or keeping it casual with sneakers and a tee. Social media has lit up with try-on hauls and styling videos showing how the jeans can be dressed up for dinner or thrown on for a school run - with some even buying multiple pairs for their wardrobe. 'I have several pairs of these jeans and am very impressed with them,' one shopper added. 'They are very comfortable, and the price is extremely reasonable. I would however like to see a bigger colour range particularly in the darker denim.' The high waist flatters a range of body shapes, while the vintage-inspired cut is right in line with the 90s revival dominating wardrobes this year. With so much hype, and at a price point that won't hurt your wallet, it's no wonder these jeans are flying off shelves nationwide. It's not the only item shoppers are going crazy for this winter either, with Kmart re-releasing their now-famous $28 Sherpa Patch Jacket as the weather begins to cool down. The cosy wardrobe staple has sold out multiple times Australia-wide, with fans describing the budget buy as a 'must' throughout autumn and winter. The jacket is several hundred dollars cheaper than similar high-end versions and is made with teddy fleece, Sherpa and crepe fabric. The on-trend design features a high neck with a snap button closure, long raglan sleeves, a woven flap detail and two side pockets with zip closure. Available in sizes six to 20, it really is the ideal seasonal buy - and flatters every body shape. News of the viral jacket's re-launch swept social media last month, with hundreds raving about the slick design and vowing to purchase one or two more this year. 'Definitely need this,' one gushed. 'This looks SO comfy. I need it,' another added.
