Boden's new swimsuit looks just like the one Sophie wore in the Mamma Mia movie

"Very figure-flattering on D cups and plenty of coverage" If you're after a swimsuit that mixes summer style with clever built-in support, Boden's new Levanzo Halter Swimsuit in Blue Dahlia is worth a look. With its flattering neckline and Mediterranean print, we think it looks just like the iconic blue and white suit Sophie wore in Mamma Mia. You know, when she was dancing around on the rocks. Her exact swimsuit from the movie is an out-of-stock Michael Kors one, which would have set you back hundreds of pounds. However, Boden's Levanzo suit is on offer for £76. Better yet, use the code JM7D and you can nab it for £64.60 thanks to a summer promotion the website has this week. The halter style of the suit has a definite retro charm. With a ruched front and supportive lining, it's designed to shape without squeezing, and several Boden customers have said the fit is particularly flattering. One reviewer shared, 'Very figure flattering (D cup plenty coverage). I bought the long after reading reviews (I'm 5"5 average body length) and it fitted well. I like a decent chest coverage.' That same customer went back for another colour– a clear vote of confidence. The print itself is Blue Dahlia, a soft floral design in oceanic tones of blue and white. It's a pattern that works equally well poolside or on a beach, and it's not too loud. Paired with a sarong or simple shorts, it has that relaxed, Grecian-holiday appeal without feeling overly styled. In terms of sizing, there have been mixed comments. One shopper noted, 'Far too small,' while another said, 'I ordered two sizes (my usual size and a size up) and went with the bigger size as it gives a bit more chest coverage but would say it's roughly true to size.' So if you're between sizes or after a bit more coverage, sizing up might be the better option. It's also worth mentioning the attention to quality. 'Quality feels great (although I haven't used it yet),' said one reviewer. 'Great customer service — my return was processed very quickly.' The swimsuit is made from recycled materials too, so there's a feel-good factor that goes beyond just the style. For those wondering whether it's a swimsuit for swimming or just for show, the feedback is reassuring. 'Love this costume, really flattering,' one woman wrote. 'I am 52 and a size 12 with a bit of a belly. I felt great in this and think it will get a lot of wear. I think it's fine for swimming too.' It's good to know this one isn't just about looking good on a sunlounger. The price point is a little high, so it's not the cheapest on the high street, but with Boden's track record for durability and customer care, it's likely to last beyond one holiday season. However, if you want to copy Amanda Seyfried's Mamma Mia style, we also love Cupshe's Catalina Crush Floral One-Piece Swimsuit, £28, which has a similar pattern and cut.

Mum-of-two with 36D boobs shares the ‘best bras' she's ‘EVER worn' – and they're just £3 each

She couldn't resist getting two of the bras as they're so good BRA-GAIN Mum-of-two with 36D boobs shares the 'best bras' she's 'EVER worn' – and they're just £3 each Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A MUM-OF-TWO has shared the £3 bra that's among the best she's "ever worn" - and you can get it on your local high street. Sophie is a size 36D, and suffers with back pain due to being top heavy. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Mum-of-two Sophie said she's found the best bra ever for her 36D frame Credit: bargainlovingmam/tiktok 3 And they're just £3 from Poundland Credit: bargainlovingmam/tiktok 3 She couldn't believe how cheap the bras are considering they're so good Credit: bargainlovingmam/tiktok But rather than spending tonnes on a bra to fit, Sophie explained her favourites are from her local Poundland - and cost just £3. "Poundland has something that I'm gonna put you ladies on to that you will be thanking me for," she said in a video on her TikTok page. She then held up the bras - one black and one white - as she raved about the budget buy. "They are some of the best bras I have worn," she continued. "These and the cotton ones they do - exceptional. "I think they go up to like a DD and an E, but I'm a 36D and they're phenomenal. "If you haven't got onto the Poundland bra hype - actually the Poundland clothes hype - that section is absolutely cracking!" "Poundland must have and it's only £3!" Sophie captioned her video. "Since having my kids I've struggled to find decent bras," one person wrote in the comments section. "Bloody going down there now lol. Walkthrough Poundland's first £1million store "Hope they have my busty E size!" "Running there right now I've been looking for a good bra for ages!" "Honestly they are so good!" Sophie replied. "I struggle with back pain from mine and these have sorted it!" "Get the Poundland app girl," a third advised. "When you spend so much you get vouchers every month, so could even get a free 1 a month!" An ex employee on Poundland's prices Holly Laing, 22, from Northampton, has revealed she used to work in Poundland and often heard customers say the same annoying thing. Holly claimed she worked for Poundland in 2015 for three months as a Christmas temp. She said that customers would get annoyed when products cost more than £1 individually. In a comical video, Holly acted out a scenario that often occurred on her shift at the bargain store, where customers were always baffled and irritated that items could cost over £1. Holly uploaded her video with the caption "I heard this a lot" as she said: 'POV: Not everything's £1 in Poundland'. Holly explained that customers would often say to her: 'But this is the pound shop, is it not?' "That's very misleading, I'll only pay for that if it's a pound.' 'Disgusting, what a rip off." Poundland currently has a 70% off sale running in stores, where everything included is £5 or under. And the store is becoming increasingly popular for its low-price, high quality clothes - with some people even insisting it's overtaken Primark for its basics. "We've also extended our basics range because we know the importance of having those wardrobe staples that you can rely on year-round," Poundland said on their website. "Our classic T-Shirts and versatile dresses are perfect for mixing and matching with the rest of your wardrobe, giving you easy, everyday options for any occasion. "Whether you're dressing up for a casual outing or keeping it simple for running errands, these essentials are timeless, practical, and affordable."

When is Father's Day in Australia? Mark it down for September

If you're gunning for the prize of favourite child this year, then forgetting Father's Day is simply not an option. It's the one day when you should put in a little extra effort to make your dad, stepdad, grandpa or any father figure in your life remember just how much you appreciate them. Here's everything you need to know about Father's Day in Australia in 2025. When is Father's Day in Australia 2025? Father's Day in Australia is always celebrated on the first Sunday in September. In 2025, this falls on September 7. Don't get confused with the other countries' dates, as the United States and the United Kingdom both mark the occasion in June. Why is Father's Day different in Australia? There's no official reason why Australia celebrates Father's Day three months after the US and UK, but a popular theory is that it helps space things out from Mother's Day in May. Plus, this gives Aussie businesses another chance to promote gifts and throw some epic sales. Is Father's Day a public holiday in Australia? As much as dad might wish otherwise, Father's Day isn't a public holiday in Australia – so most shops, cafés and businesses will be open as usual. What is the history of Father's Day? Father's Day originated in the United States, thanks to Civil War veteran and single mum, Sonora Smart Dodd. Inspired by the growing popularity of Mother's Day, she pushed for a special day to honour the hard work of dads around the world. The day was first celebrated in 1910, it became an official US national holiday in 1972, and it was adopted by Australians in the 1930s. What to get for Father's Day? Whether it's a handwritten note, breakfast in bed or just a heartfelt phone call, there are plenty of simple ways to say thank you to the most important man in your life. If you want to make him feel like a king, treat him to a long pub lunch, gift him a voucher to one of Australia's best restaurants, secure tickets to a fab new theatre production, or surprise him with a gorgeous bouquet. What to do on Father's Day? Forget the silly socks or the six-pack of beers, and opt for some good ol' quality time with the man instead. Personally, I love taking my dad for a relaxed brunch at one of Australia's favourite cafés or going on a great big coastal walk. You could also spend some special time together exploring one of Australia's stunning national parks, soak in some culture at one of the best current art exhibitions, or take a day trip to a charming country town. When is Father's Day in 2026? Next year, Father's Day falls on Sunday, September 6. 👧🏻
