I've had so many compliments on this sell-out Marks & Spencer lace skirt - here's how to wear the latest version

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 A few skirt trends have caught my eye this season, but often the prettiest looks are not the most practical. Those satin slip skirts with lingerie-like lace trims? Lovely, but a bit clingy if you've ever had a baby/have just eaten a massive lunch. White midi skirts? I love the freshness, but can guarantee I'd have tea or toothpaste on there within five minutes. The lace maxi skirt however - now that is a trend I've got on board with, and I'm very pleased with my purchase. I bought Marks & Spencer's lace tiered maxi skirt earlier this year, and have been wearing it consistently throughout the warmer months, getting compliments from the discerning bunch at You magazine every time. It's clearly not just me that loves the skirt - it sold out quickly from M&S stores and online, much to the disappointment of a tres chic colleague who wanted to buy one too. However, the other day I was browsing the Marks & Spencer website when I came across a very similar style from the brand, the Lace Maxi Tiered Skirt (£50). One thing I really rate about M&S clothing is that a lot of their separates come in different lengths, which is helpful if you are 5 foot 9 like me, and a regular length maxi lands more like mid-calf than near the floor. Lace Maxi Tiered Skirt £50 Shop As well as the length of the skirt, I have also appreciated its versatility. You can dress it up for the office, or go super casual at the weekend with trainers and a tee. My only big warning would be to keep an eye on your footwear - I once wore biker-style buckled sandals with my skirt, and spent the whole day grimacing as hardware caught on lace and threatened to rip the skirt part (thank god to the fashion team at You magazine, who let me borrow some less threatening flats). Here are some of the key ways I've been styling the lace maxi...

Katie Price's BGT star rival reignites bitter feud as she shares video mocking under-fire star's new surgeries

KATIE Price's BGT rival has reignited their feud by mocking the star's latest round of plastic surgery. Impressionist Francine Lewis is very well-known for her comical take on Katie Price and regularly performed as her both during her time on BGT in 2013 as well as in her further TV and media appearances. 5 5 Whilst the pair were understood to be friendly at one point after mingling at showbiz parties, Katie is believed to have got particularly frustrated with Francine's constant mocking of her personal life - leading to a rift between the women. They also clashed in the 90s amid speculation that Francine may have been pursuing an illicit romance with Katie's then-boyfriend, Warren Furman. Now, Francine has impersonated Katie once more in a new social media video in which she mocked her tighter-than-ever face following another round of plastic surgery - bringing their bitter rivarly back to the surface. In the comedy TikTok clip, Francine not only took aim at Katie's surgery but also the recently leaked clip in which Katie could be seen counting wads of cash. The video, shared by Alex Reid, has prompted a war between Katie and her exes as she could be heard discussing owing Alex money as well as making ex Peter Andre pay the school fees for their children due to her "extending her bankruptcy". In the clip, Francine can be seen counting up money, just like Katie. Francine pretends to get flustered as she counts up in "thousands" before she refers to Katie's boyfriend, JJ Slater, as she says: "Oh, JJ, you need to help me count my money!" Turning her attention to Katie's surgery, Francine said: "So I've just got back from Turkey. "Yes! I have had another facelift - oh God, I can't believed it!" She then said: "JJ, I think my mum was right - I did go too tight this time. Katie Price's ex Alex Reid leaks video of bankrupt star counting cash as he vows to expose the truth about star "Oh well! What do you think? I love it!" Francine's followers were left in hysterics at the clip as one said: "Pulled off perfectly." Someone else added: "Omg I can't breathe." Before a third penned: "Amazing took her off wonderfully." The video will no doubt make Katie's blood boil following her colourful past with Francine. The actress and comedy star previously revealed all to The Sun on how their friendship had turned frosty before they managed to recoup things in the mid 2000s before they once again went down hill following her BGT stint. They met through Katie's then boyfriend Warren Furman who was riding high as one of the stars of Gladiators. Katie enjoyed a highly publicised relationship with muscle man Warren for three years. They were engaged between 1998 and 1999, but dated from 1996, and he was her first high profile romance and engagement. 5 Warren had also met Francine through another TV show he was filming at the time, and he ended up introducing his friend, Joel, who would become Francine's husband, to the talented actress. Francine explained to The Sun at The Lifestyle Awards: 'Joel was best friends with one of the Gladiators, Warren, who was Ace in the Gladiators who went out with Katie Price. "I met Warren on a TV show I was doing, Night Fever, on Channel 5. "And Katie thought something was going on between us, she was out for my blood at that point!" Francine added: "Me and Warren were a bit like Rachel and Ross, will they, won't they? "But we never did. We had the odd kiss, that was it. Then I met Joel." Francine and Katie eventually became friends through their partners, and Katie apprently love Francine's impressions of her. She previously said: "At the time, she loved it, she used to make me ring her brother and mum. In fact, when she was on I'm A Celeb she was talking about me doing it. "But we then lost touch and we weren't friends anymore and on BGT I maybe pushed it a little bit too far on the final, I don't think she liked it, put it that way… "I've got nothing against Katie, she was at my wedding, I was at her wedding."

Amanda Knox reveals how Monica Lewinsky helped rebuild her life

Amanda Knox has revealed how Monica Lewinsky became her mentor as she tried to rebuild her life after being exonerated in the death of of her roommate Meredith Kercher. The two women met at a speaking engagement in 2017, just two years after Italy 's highest court exonerated Knox and her one-time boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito in Kercher's murder. Knox told The Hollywood Reporter how she was nervous and had begged the event organizers to let her speak with Lewinsky in private. The former White House intern obliged, and even made Knox a pot of tea as she shared some guidance from her years trying to move past her sex scandal with then-President Bill Clinton . 'She had a lot of advice about reclaiming your voice and your narrative,' Knox said. 'That ended up being a turning point for me.' Years later, Knox shared her desire to tell her story on screen in an interview with The New York Times - and upon seeing it, Lewinsky jumped on board. Together, Lewinsky and Knox wound up assembling a creative team, including This Is Us executive producer K.J. Steinberg and famed producer Warren Littlefield, to create 'The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox,' a limited series for Hulu. After years of planning, Knox and Lewinsky celebrated the premiere of the show on the red carpet Tuesday. The 38-year-old exoneree stunned in a lacy white and orange gown, while Lewinsky, 52, opted for a stunning gold number with dangling earrings and her hair pulled back. Just hours earlier, Knox released the latest episode of her podcast, Hard Knox, in which she and Lewinsky spoke of the importance of telling the stories of those who survived scandal. Speaking of the decision, Lewinsky noted that she does not often pay attention to a story after it fades from headlines. 'I don't think about "How is this person rebuilding their life?"' she said, her voice cracking as she apparently started to tear up. But, she said, she thinks it is important to 'understand, as my therapist calls it, the long tale of trauma - and that it's not even just the person, but the collateral damage for people's families.' 'It's not the story of like, being a person and being gutted and then building your life back. 'And having to find yourself again,' Lewinsky said, noting that both of their scandals arose when they were in their 20s. 'You think you know everything, you think you know who you are and it's then ripped away from you,' she reflected. 'It's reconfigured and reflected back to you as a monster that you never saw yourself as, that you actually aren't.' During that time, Knox said, 'it's hard to remember that you have value as a human.' That is why, both women said, it was important for Knox to tell her story herself 'I think it's a better product because I was able to share really personal and intimate things about, you know, my life that wasn't just like a Hollywood gloss over reality,' Knox said. 'Like it becomes dirtier in a good way because it has all the messy humanity and you have all these scenes that I, you know, remember being in the writer's room being like, "This is an actual thing that has happened" and they were like, "You can't make this stuff up."' But the duo also sought to play on the 'anatomy of bias,' aiming to showcase how events unfold and are perceived through different people's perspectives. 'It's the way we story tell and it's the way we process a story in our own minds that is impacted by everything we're bringing to that moment that has been shaped by bias upon bias upon bias,' Lewinsky said. 'Every interaction that we have with a person is not just a straight interaction,' Knox added. 'It is colored by the context that we all carry. 'All of us are little universes inside of ourselves and we collide with each other,' she said. The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox airs on Hulu, and stars Grace Van Patten in the titular role.
