Lorraine Kelly looks incredibly youthful in floral pink midi dress that's wedding guest-perfect
Lorraine Kelly fans have been praising her 'gorgeous' pink midi dress, which is the perfect choice for summer weddings or garden parties, and we've found where to shop it
Lorraine Kelly just proved to us all that florals for spring really can be groundbreaking. The daytime TV presenter sported a gorgeous pink midi dress while repping the 'Lorraine' show at King Charles ' special reception for cancer charities, and fans have been raving about how 'gorgeous' the dress is.
With its flattering fit and 3D floral detailing, it's a dreamy choice for wedding season and one that's bound to turn heads for all the right reasons.
Hailing from the Australian brand Forever New, the Yasmin Petite Floral Detail Midi Dress is priced at £130, and is still currently available in nearly all sizes.
The subtle floral appliqué embellishments play into the popular 'romantasy' fashion trend we've been seeing a lot of this year (think lace, tulle, florals, and pale hues). While the split neckline and flowing midi skirt add an elegant touch to the dress and allow for some draped movement.
The long blouson sleeves are ideal if you're after a dress that covers your arms but remains breathable. And the removable waist tie (complete with a floral detail) means you can cinch it in or wear it relaxed, depending on your vibe.
Lorraine effortlessly styled this midi with a pair of neutral court heels and simple gold jewellery, but later changed into what appear to be M&S ' flat braided sandals, proving just how versatile the dress can be.
The pale pink colourway Lorraine is wearing is currently only available in a petite size, but the regular size is also available in a spring-ready baby blue hue.
If you are heading to a summer event but dresses aren't your thing, why not go for a tailored suit instead? I headed to Cheltenham Festival earlier this year, and wore a butter yellow suit from Coast at Debenhams, and I'll be wearing it to all my summer events. The Satin Double Breasted Blazer, priced at £99 and the Satin Flare Trousers, priced at £79 are the perfect mix of feminine and stylish, while still having that more androgynous look.

King and Duchess of Edinburgh visit Royal Windsor Flower Show
The King has visited the Royal Windsor Flower Show, which this year is inspired by an idea from his book. Charles, who has a passion for gardening, stopped to smell the flowers during his visit to the show which is billed as 'a joyful one-day celebration of gardening, nature, food and traditional crafts'. Gardener Alan Titchmarsh, who is the honorary president of the Royal Windsor Rose & Horticultural Society, helped to welcome the royal party including the Duchess of Edinburgh who officially opened the event. The theme for this year's show, held at the York Club in Windsor Great Park, is Patterns in Nature' inspired by Charles's 2010 book called Harmony: A New Way Of Looking At Our World. The King's Foundation explains Charles's philosophy of harmony is aimed at understanding 'the balance, order and relationships between ourselves and the natural world' to 'create a more sustainable future'. It adds: 'The Harmony philosophy sees everything in nature as interconnected, including ourselves. 'This means taking a holistic approach to the challenges facing our planet, and looking to solve these challenges by working with nature, rather than against her.' Apart from looking at the displays Charles smiled and shook hands with members of the public and Sophie chatted with Chelsea pensioners. There were also expert talks, demonstrations and hands-on workshops on offer for those who attended. Saturday was the 118th edition of the show, which has Charles as its patron.

Ryan Reynolds' £50m purchase, divorce from Hollywood actress and huge net worth
Ryan Reynolds has thrown himself into a host of business ventures since achieving Hollywood stardom, including the purchase of newly-promoted Championship club Wrexham Ryan Reynolds has partnered up with a Hollywood star to buy another sports team after the resounding success of Wrexham, which he co-owns with Rob McElhenney. The two actors have been instrumental in Wrexham's meteoric rise from non-league to the Championship in just four seasons. They became the first side in history to win three consecutive promotions in the top five leagues of English football. The fairytale rise has made Wrexham a world-renowned name, with the club just one promotion away from the lofty heights of the Premier League. But the Canadian has now taken another bold step in his sports empire by teaming up with his close friend, Hugh Jackman. Reynolds and his Deadpool & Wolverine co-star have announced that they now own an Australian sailing team named the BONDS Flying Roos. The rebranded team competes in the high-profile SailGP global sailing event, a competition backed by a diverse set of celebrity investors such as football superstar Kylian Mbappe, actress Anne Hathaway, F1 legend Sebastian Vettel and heavyweight boxer Deontay Wilder. Reynolds' portfolio already includes stakes in Mexican football team Club Necaxa, Colombian side La Equidad and F1's Alpine. But for Jackman, the endeavour marks his first foray into sports ownership. "We're incredibly excited to set sail together in this new adventure," Reynolds and Jackman said in a statement. "Hugh brings a deep love for and pride in his home country as well as being an avid fan of sailing. He will also be bringing his overly clingy emotional support human along for the ride. Apologies in advance to Australia." The figure Reynolds and Jackman forked out for their new team hasn't been officially revealed but it's believed they splurged at least $50million (£37m) between them. And in light of the Wrexham co-owner's latest business move, we delve into how he amassed his colossal fortune and those who have supported him on his journey to stardom. Astonishing net worth Reynolds is reported to have an eye-watering net worth of around $400m (£295m), having been named as one of Hollywood's top earners. Forbes listed the movie star as 2024's second highest paid actor with a whopping haul of £79m, putting him just behind Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson in the fortune stakes. Reynolds owed much of his success last year to crowd-pleasers like the Marvel blockbuster Deadpool & Wolverine, while family film IF and Emmy-winning documentary Welcome to Wrexham also contributed. Beyond his box office earnings, Reynolds has shown financial acumen with shrewd business ventures, acquiring up to a 20 per cent stake in American gin company Aviation Gin before selling it in a massive $600m (£443m) deal in 2020. He also sold a large stake in mobile network company Mint Mobile to T-Mobile with the $1.35billion (£997m) deal seeing him pocket over $300m (£220m). The Deadpool star has invested a considerable sum in Wrexham, with him and co-owner McElhenney reportedly splashing out over £20m of their own money on the football club since their 2020 takeover. In 2023, an episode of Welcome to Wrexham revealed that they had lost around $12m (£8.9m) since taking over the club, with Reynolds responding by saying: "I'm going to throw up." Life with famous wife after Hollywood divorce Reynolds has been married to Gossip Girl actress Blake Lively since 2012, after meeting her on the Green Lantern film set. As their romance blossomed, they quickly became one of Hollywood's most beloved power couples, exchanging vows in a private South Carolina wedding before going on to welcome four children - James, Inez, Betty and Olin - together. Lively has been seen attending Wrexham games at the Racecourse Ground and paid a gushing tribute to the city after they secured promotion to the Championship in April. "Back to back to back," she wrote in an Instagram post. "History was made. Congratulations to @wrexham_afc. I will never forget the love and elation in that town today. Thank you for sharing it with us always." "And to these two men, @robmcelhenney & @vancityreynolds ... the love and respect that pours out of you each and together exponentially grows and creates more joy, more possibilities, more magic, more history," the actress added. "This picture feels to me like a painting of all you do for so many, while being so present and appreciative of every moment." Before marrying Lively, Reynolds made headlines thanks to his relationships with some of the most famous women in show business. In 2004, he got engaged to fellow Canadian Alanis Morissette, having met the singer at Drew Barrymore's birthday party two years earlier. They split up in 2007, with Morrissette citing the pressures of fame as a contributing factor, but they have remained close friends ever since. Reynolds, whose romantic history in the noughties reportedly included names like Sandra Bullock, Melissa Joan Hart and Charlize Theron, soon began to date actress Scarlett Johansson. The couple married in 2008 in an intimate Vancouver ceremony. But by 2010, they had parted ways, with the pair admitting that the relationship fell apart due to their busy schedules and a lack of quality time spent together. "We work and then go home," the actress later admitted to Time Out. "I'd just stare at the wall for a few hours before I got to sleep." Friendship with Rob McElhenney While they have overseen one of the most remarkable stories in football history together, Reynolds and McElhenney weren't even friends when they decided to buy Wrexham, having only briefly interacted with each other online on a few occasions. Contrary to what many believe, it wasn't Reynolds who first had the idea to take over a football club, either. Instead, it was McElhenney who spearheaded the plans after being inspired by British comedy writer and football fan Humphrey Ker to invest in a team. Despite not being a big football fan himself, McElhenney was captivated by Ker's passion for Liverpool. As a result, Ker suggested he watch the Netflix series Sunderland 'Til I Die during the coronavirus lockdown. The show piqued the interest of the It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia actor further, leading him to want his own football club to make his own documentary about. After the actor determined his budget, Ker then helped him pick out some suitable candidates. Wrexham stood out to McElhenney due to the club's history, passionate fanbase and need for new investment in the wake of the pandemic. He then approached Reynolds, who had previously messaged him about his favourite Always Sunny scene, to secure additional funding and attach another high-profile name to the club. Reynolds was excited by the idea and did not want to merely be a sponsor, but a co-owner alongside McElhenney. In November 2020, the pair purchased the club for £2m and the rest is history, with the duo now being very good friends despite not meeting face-to-face until April 2021. McElhenney has since told People that Reynolds is one of his closest friends, describing him as a "kind and generous soul, and somebody you can rely on." Hailing the actor as a "truly inspiring person," he added: "Our families have grown incredibly close, and even though we live on opposite coasts, we feel like we're right next to each other."

MAFS Australia couples from all 12 seasons who are now legally married - the amount might surprise you
Over 100 couples have starred on the Australian version of Married at first Sight but how many of them are actually married in real life? Since its debut on the Nine Network in May 2015, Married At First Sight Australia has matched over 100 couples. While a handful of those relationship have gone the distance, fans might be surprised to hear that only three couples have taken the leap to become legally married. Although the show features wedding-style ceremonies where participants meet and exchanged vows at the alter, there unions aren't legal - as under the Australian Marriage Act, couples must give at least one month and one day's notice before tying the knot. As this is impossible under the show's surprise matchmaking format the ceremonies on MAFS are symbolic. Instead, the couples declare their commitment to one another in front of their close friends and family, so once filming ends they are only considered boyfriend and girlfriend. While several pairs have stayed together after the cameras stopped rolling, only a select few have chosen to make their relationship official in the eyes of the law. With just three couples legally tying the knot - to date - after leaving the show. So who are the MAFSAU couple's that have tied the knot in real life... Cameron Merchant and Jules Robinson Cameron Merchant and Jules Robinson were the power couple of season six, and wasted no time tying the knot after appearing on the show back in 2019. Cameron got down on one knee during the season finale and the pair got married quickly after in November 2019, at a gorgeous ceremony in Sydney. Following their engagement Jules wrote on Instagram: "The moment you fall more in love than you thought you could fall and every little part of you says YES! I have nothing but love for this man." Fast forward six years and the couple have welcomed two sons together, their first Oliver was born in 2020 and they welcomed baby Carter into the world in July of last year. Melissa Rawson and Bryce Ruthven Melissa Rawson and Bryce Ruthven were one of the most talked about couples on season eight, with viewers failing to see the pair last outside the show. At the time there was a rumour that radio host Bryce had a secret girlfriend during filming, however Melissa spoke to the woman and said she had no concerns. Despite everyones doubts, the pair stuck it out and proved everyone wrong, going on to make their marriage official in the eyes of the law. The pair went on to had twins, two little boys Levi and Tate back in 2021 and were engaged soon after. They officially tied the knot in February of 2023 in an adorable beach ceremony in Sorrento, Victoria. Johnny Balbuziente and Kelly Knight In 2021, intruder couple, Johnny Balbuziente and Kelly Knight joined the experiment and it was love at first sight for the couple who were clearly smitten upon meeting on their wedding day on the show. Although they went on to have their fair share of ups and downs, but proved they were stronger than that as Jonny proposed to Kelly on their second anniversary. The pair got married in an intimate ceremony back in January of 2023. They shared photos from their big day, with the caption: "[ring emoji] MR & MRS BALBUZIENTE [ring emoji] 05.01.23" Kelly and Johnny have went on to welcome their first child, a daughter named Chloe Rossi Balbuziente, in July 2024.
