Vicky Pattison's Wimbledon midi dress is £400 - but we found one that's 75% less
We're almost finished with the first week of Wimbledon, and whilst we might be leaving the actual sport to the tennis pros, one thing we are becoming quite the expert at is tracking down our favourite celebs' Wimbledon outfits. The best dressed stars have been showing up in their chic courtside outfits in droves, and there's been plenty of great ensembles catching our eye.
One of the latest looks we've been coveting is Vicky Pattison's, who opted to put a different spin on the tennis whites theme with her light beige Twill Midi Dress from Self Portrait. As much as we love the presenter's gorgeous dress, its £400 price tag may be a little out of budget for some, which is why we were thrilled to see this more affordable option from Karen Millen.
The Tailored Polished Cotton Halter Midi Dress is a great alternative to Vicky's tailored Self Portrait dress, coming in the same light beige shade that makes it look sophisticated and smart whilst still being wearable for any occasion. Usually priced at £239, it currently has 40% off, slashing the price to £143.40 and making it almost £260 cheaper than Vicky's.
It has a beautiful tailored silhouette which cinches in at the waist with the help of a removable wide waist belt, and flares out into a full skirt to create a flattering silhouette. Whilst it also has a halter neckline, it features an unusual cross over design rather than a traditional collar, giving it a modern look.
The open back also bares some extra skin, making it perfect for summer whilst still looking classy and demure. Unlike traditional 'Wimbledon whites' outfits which definitely wouldn't make the cut for a re-wear at a summer wedding, the beige Halter Midi Dress can be re-worn for countless occasions – without worrying about clashing with the bride.
If you're looking for something a little more affordable, this Bengaline Pencil Midi Dress with Wrap Around Button Belt from ASOS is just £45 and modest enough to wear to both events and the office. For a shorter hemline, Reiss' Rosalie Cotton Pleated Shirt Dress In Neutral has a more laid back look that could still be styled for almost any summer occasion, and is currently on sale down to £98 from £148.
If you want a bolder colour than the neutral beige shade, the Tailored Polished Cotton Halter Midi Dress from Karen Millen also comes in bright red. You can still shop both colourways in sizes six to 16, with all sizes still in stock at the time of writing.

The athleisure trend the most stylish women in fashion are wearing right now - and it's surprisingly comfortable
Daily Mail journalists select and curate the products that feature on our site. If you make a purchase via links on this page we will earn commission - learn more Millions have been tuning in to watch the Lionesses in the Euros this week, and while we're definitely enjoying the football, we've also drawn inspiration from the England women's squad's kit too. The front row have been taking style tips directly from the pitch, pairing football shorts with everything from blouses, to blazers, crop tops, mules, flip flops and even ballet pumps. You might think they look ridiculous on the street, but it's no surprise these sporty bermudas have caught on: they're breezy, unbelievably comfortable and are also sweat wicking, making them practical in a sticky heatwave. Various iterations have popped up all over the high street, but Adidas' designs are highly sought after: so much so they have just launched a whole new drop of them on ASOS. These come in an array of lengths from short, to mid-thigh or knee skimming, fun clashing colourways, and the best bit? They're less than £40. If you're tempted to try the trend, team jerseys and knee high white socks obviously won't cut it. When it comes to wearing yours outside of a match, don't style them with anything that looks remotely sporty: the trick is to make every other element of your outfit ultra feminine. Try a white vest top with an oversized unbuttoned shirt. Or pick a frothy, flirty blouse instead. A sharp bodysuit will also work or a crop top if you're prepared to flash abs. These shorts will easily go with strappy sandals, jellies, Birkenstocks or trainers - but avoid white or black lace up pairs which could resemble footy boots. And simply finish your look with chunky gold or silver jewellery and your favourite sunnies. Scroll to score maximum summer style points with the edit below.

Weekend Wishlist: 11 fashion and beauty buys our experts are swooning over this weekend
This week, our team are coveting a White Stuff dress, Amazon water bottle, new Adidas Originals x ASOS Collection and more We call it, hot girl summer is back and this week's wishlist edit, we are bringing a selection of pink-hued skincare and makeup. From Valentino's pink rockstud tinted lip balm to Charlotte Tilbury's sell-out Summer Icons box, these are the handbag essentials to add a dose of cuteness to your outfit. Summer fashion is not just about linen, the 'one and done' midi dress from White Stuff or the 'stylish as ever' boilersuit are something different to switch up the wardrobe. But we are excited to see the new adidas Originals x ASOS drop - a fashion-forward take on athleisurewear. As hot weather looms, it's important to stay cool and hydrated - how about cold brew tea on-the-go? Bottle Bottle's insulated flask can keep drinks cold for 24 hours and it offers a range of lovely designs. Read below and see what else we've picked for a hot girl summer. Bethan's picks INNBEAUTY PROJECT Extreme Cream Refillable Moisturiser - £49 Award-winning US cosmetics company INNBEAUTY Project has finally launched in the UK exclusively at Sephora, and immediately, their Extreme Cream Refillable Moisturiser found its way onto my wish list. I tried it on the back of my hand in-store and was stunned at its thick, luxurious and addictive texture. The before and afters I've seen of this cream are almost unbelievable, with the formula clinically shown to visibly firm, lift, contour, and reduce sagging while nourishing the skin barrier. It's made with lifting peptides, ceramides and bio-retinol to target fine lines, wrinkles, dryness and loss of elasticity, and is ideal for anyone looking to combat signs of ageing, be it early signs or more mature skin. The fragrance-free formula has earned a 4.4 star rating on Sephora already, with fans hailing it as 'rich and hydrating'. One said: 'It is so smooth, silky, unscented, and goes on like butter. I have dry skin and this cream works like a dream for my dehydrated skin.' However, as it's designed for dry to combination skin, some with oily complexions found it 'too thick' and 'greasy'. White Stuff Rosie Check Maxi Dress - £76 I'm not exaggerating when I tell you that this dress was an absolute lifesaver during the blazing heat last week. I really struggle to dress for the warm weather and hate being too warm, but this 100% organic cotton, sleeveless Rosie Check Maxi Dress from White Stuff was the perfect heatwave ensemble. Coming in a sunset-hued checked pattern, it's super airy and lightweight, with pretty frill detailing around the shoulders and on the skirt. I also loved the notched neckline that can be worn open or buttoned for two slightly different looks - and it even has pockets. Other shoppers have hailed it as 'flattering', saying they 'had lots of compliments wearing it' (as did I). I personally found it true to size, but it's worth noting that others have mentioned issues. One said: 'I really wanted this dress, but unfortunately it was too small across the bust in my usual size. The next size up was absolutely huge all over.' Charlotte Tilbury Summer Icons Beauty Box - £94 Charlotte Tilbury's summer sale is the ultimate opportunity to snap up some of the brand's bestsellers at a serious discount. One of the best deals is on the Summer Icons Beauty Box, where shoppers can get £126 worth of free full-sized makeup and skincare heroes. The Summer Icons Beauty Box is a handpicked collection of Charlotte's most sought-after products, including seven full-size icons and a travel-sized Charlotte's Magic Cream, all beautifully presented in a luxurious gift box. Worth £189, it's priced at £94 - less than half price - and qualifies for a free Airbrush Flawless Lip Blur worth £29, making the deal even sweeter. Inside, there's the Matte Beauty Blush Wand in Peach Pop, the internet-famous liquid blush that delivers a sun-kissed flush in seconds. Shoppers will also get the Hypnotising Pop Shot in Diamond Eyes, a shimmering champagne eyeshadow that adds instant glam. Shoppers can check out the full contents of the Charlotte Tilbury summer set here. Teva Women's Midform Universal Canvas Sandals - £65 The heatwave may be over, but summer definitely is not, with plenty of time to show off fresh pedicures in some stylish sandals, like the Teva Women's Midform Universal Canvas. I love this cream pair, which are comfortable without compromising on style. The velcro straps mean no fussing with buckles or laces, while the frayed edging leans into the current boho trend that's perfect for holidays or festivals. The neutral colourway also means they'll go with literally anything, be it denim shorts or floaty midi dresses. The only downside is that they only seem to come in sizes 4-8, so if you've got petite feet, or are above a size 8, then they may not be for you. At New Look, these Cream Raffia Harness Strap Platform Sandals come in sizes 3-9, and are currently on sale for under £20 if you're looking for a cheaper alternative. Tiffany's picks: Adidas Originals x ASOS Collection - from £35 This is the talk of the town right now as two fashion giants collaborated to launch a range of streetwear that will see shoppers wearing them through hot summer days. Fans can find sporty basics refreshed in summer fabrics and relaxed silhouettes in timeless neutral hues. Working with ASOS' in-house designs, the collection also includes iconic track sets (from £60) in lovely burgundy and cream colours that shoppers can wear from summer to autumn. I love the crochet knitted top and shorts co-ord with contrast trim (£100)- they are perfect to wear on holidays. The crochet polo shirt features a knitted Trefoil logo while the sleeves are trimmed in black to create a monochrome contrast with the white. Unfortunately, the Adidas crochet top is sold out, but fans can still get their hands on the crochet shorts (£50). M&S Cotton Rich Striped Textured Resort Top is a good alternative, and it's priced at £29.50 Designers have also brought the 2000s nostalgia back on trend, the bandeau top in off white, £35, is lined with the three-stripes branding on the side and Trefoil logo on the chest. It is certainly festival-ready but I can also see fans wearing it to a fun date. Boux Avenue Gisella Balconette Bra and Briefs Set - £63 Lingerie brand Boux Avenue's new "Enchanted Aurora" lingerie has brought dreamlike designs to life. Inspired by enchanted forests under moonlight, the Gisella balconette bra (£45) is crafted in beautiful floral and butterfly embroidery that is romantic and elegant. Complete it with matching briefs (£18) to make it a set, it also features subtle sparkle detailing on soft sheer fabrics. With sizes available from 30B to 38G, shoppers have rated the Gisella set a high 4.8 out of five stars. One said it's comfortable to wear and very pretty to wear on. Another added: 'Both my boyfriend and I are obsessed. Fantastic that it is available in large cup sizes and is supportive. Bought the full set and would highly recommend it. Makes me feel very sexy.' For those who prefer sheer lingerie, Bluebella is having a summer sale with up to 50% off styles. The Yvette Embroidered Sheer Bra in Black is now reduced from £44 to £22, while the coral-coloured Leonora Floral Embroidered Bra is marked down to £19 from £39. Valentino Beauty Spike Valentino Disco Balm - £33 Mascara might be my desert island item but I can never say no to a nice lip product, especially when the packaging is as nice as the new Valentino Disco Balm. The rockstud spikes are an Italian fashion house's icon since it was first introduced in the pointed-toe strappy stilettos back in 2010 and since then the design has become Valentino's DNA. The Disco Balm case also features the very same design and having seen Dua Lipa recently wearing it in shade Bold Brown, I am tempted to try. Available in four shades - Rose in The Woods, Bold Brown, Extra Pink and Solar Coral - these tinted lip balms are infused with squalane, shea butter and ceramides to keep the lips nourished. But the most exciting bit is that the shades are pH-reactive, meaning they adapt to an individual's lip tone for a colour-reviving effect. Pixi's Lip Tones, available at Boots for £8, are also pH-responsive and they are enriched with rose hip seed oil and mango butter for a hydrating and glossy finish. Eve's picks: M&S' Linen Rich Square Neck Mini Shift Dress - £35 I recently went on holiday to Italy and this M&S shift dress went down a treat in hot weather - plus, it made me feel nice and garnered a number of compliments. While it keeps on selling out, the current sizes in stock are eight to 20 and it has a lovely relaxed fit to it which makes it a dream to wear for keeping cool and during dinners out. It's got such a flattering square neckline and cute mini length. It has a fit and flare shape that made me feel pretty lovely and being a lovely rich blue colour it is bright and great for summer and can go with pretty much anything. Its fabric make-up too is 'linen-rich' which makes it light and airy and ideal for scorching temperatures (tried and tested in 30+ degree heat). At £35, I've worn it countless times since buying it in June, and it's one of my best summer purchases. Bottle Bottle water bottle - £21.99 We're all a little guilty of not drinking enough water and to help my intake I decided to treat myself to a pretty water bottle to make this necessary task a little more indulgent. While many people opt for Stanley cups or Chillys bottles, I couldn't justify spending over £40 on a water bottle and so went to Amazon to try and find the next best thing. Bottle Bottle's insulated water bottle comes in a variety of different designs - mine is blue and pink - and has a flip straw design to make drinking a lot more enjoyable and accessible (no tipping it up with potential for it spilling everywhere). With a variety of different sizes (I have a 950ml one), the bottle keeps cold drinks ice cold for hours on end. I put it to the test on my recent holiday, where I explored ancient ruins for a few hours, and at the end of it, my water was still refreshingly cold. It's got an easy-to-carry handle as well as a spill-proof seal. And, one little detail I love - as someone who relatively often gets a headache - is there's a secret compartment at the bottom to store vitamins, supplements and tablets like paracetamol or ibuprofen, which has proved very useful. My only gripe is that it's sometimes a faff to clean - especially the straw spout - although if you've got a straw cleaning brush, it's relatively simple. One Amazon shopper was in agreement and said: "A very good concept. Unfortunately no cleaning tools to provide. Unfortunately hard to clean the lid as it's good 2 thin areas on the lid that can't be cleaned properly." Get it here. Joanie's Mork Western Print Short Sleeve Boilersuit - £85 I love a jumpsuit. They're possibly one of my favourite garments of clothing and they just make an outfit stylish with little to no effort. While I've got many plain looking jumpsuits - I have two denim ones (one similar to this Oliver Bonas one, £45 and one white one), one flared black one and one yellow - Joanie's Mork Western Print Short Sleeve Boilersuit caught my eye for its Western print that was stylish, fun and effortlessly cool. Made from responsibly sourced cotton, the jumpsuit has light stretch which makes it super comfortable to wear (unlike usual denim) and is short sleeved which is a nice option for the summer months. With a wide cropped style leg, the all-in-one also has a removable matching belt to cinch in at the waist, and pockets. So far this summer I've paired it with trainers, sandals, sliders and in the winter boots. While the jumpsuit was a good fit on me, for some people, the body was a little too short. One person said: "The jumpsuit fitted great apart from being too short in the body, so the crotch was too high for me." With the inside leg measuring at 68cm, keep that in mind. Narin's pick: Bird and Blend's Hello Kitty Pink Apple Pie Tea - £20 If, like us, you're thoroughly bored of drinking enough water to stay hydrated during the heatwave, then tea makers Bird and Blend's latest collab is a great choice. Famed for their quirky, tasty, limited edition blends, the brand has just unveiled a Hello Kitty Pink Apple Pie Tea. Totally caffeine free, it's a zesty apple flavour with a tang of cinnamon and even some sprinkles. We've been using it all week in cold brew to zhuzh up our liquid intake, although some shoppers have suggested making it with lemonade for an even more refreshing option. This collectable tin contains enough to make 75 cups of tea and costs £20. There are also matcha blends and mugs, spoons and other collectables in the range, which is available in store and online now.
