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.

Known as Penneys branched into the UK in 1973 with its first store opening in Derby. The UK now has 191 Primark stores in total.

And in 2006, the expansion into Europe began with an opening in Spain, followed by the Netherlands, Portugal, Germany, Belgium, Austria, France and Italy. Primark went Stateside for the first time in September 2015, with the opening of a store in Boston. There are now 27 stores in America with branches in Florida, Brooklyn, Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The retailer's opened its largest store in Birmingham in 2019. It spans five floors and features Primark's biggest beauty studio to date, a barbers and three restaurants.

I tried the new Omaze-style draw for superyacht holidays and lived like a billionaire for a £10 raffle ticket
AS I shake the hand of Captain Harry, the blue-eyed Greek god in command of this luxury superyacht, I wonder if this is the first time he's welcomed aboard a guest wearing a dress from Primark. This Advertisement 11 Samantha Rea taking in the view from the deck of the Daloli, a 33 metre superyacht 11 She flew into Athens then was driven to the swish marina where the Dalioi is docked 11 The yacht boasts three decks, five bedrooms, seven crew and an array of 'toys' including jet skis and paddleboards 11 Samantha tries out one of the boat's jet skis I mean, who do we usually see on superyachts? Celebrities like Kim Kardashian, than I'd be able to spend on a holiday itself. Advertisement Yet here I am, in a nautical striped bargain that I bought in Primarni last summer, stepping onto the Daloli, a 33 metre yacht with three decks, five bedrooms, seven crew and an array of 'toys' including jet skis, paddleboards, seabobs and waterslides. Then there's the massive TVs, a hot tub, huge lounge and dining areas, and the drinks cabinet equivalent of Mary Poppins's never-empty carpet bag… I definitely don't have the money to charter it myself, and I don't tend to mix with millionaires who might. In fact, if I ever imagined myself on a yacht, I'd be more likely to picture myself slaving away Below Deck-style, scrubbing stains off some spoilt celebs' sheets - because surely the lavish superyacht lifestyle is only for oligarchs and A-listers? Well, it turns out that, actually, it's no longer exclusive to the super rich - because as of now, with the launch of Advertisement And that's why I'm here - to get a sneak peek inside the superyacht where the first winners will spend a week living like royalty. Inside the invite-only superyacht 'sea hotel' with four-story penthouse - & another $450m 'twin' ship is on the way Having flown into The marina's glorious backdrop of sunshine, palm trees and Greek flags means I already feel like I'm on holiday - but of course, the Daloli is not a hotel, it is a superyacht, and so off we sail into the As the boat heads south, so do I - downstairs to see my cabin. I am delighted to find a double bed, immaculately made with crisp white bed linen. There's a wardrobe with hangers, as well as cupboard space, a stonking great TV, and an ensuite bathroom stacked with Molton Brown miniatures. Advertisement Having been worried about forgetting my shampoo, it quickly becomes apparent that at this level of luxury, everything is taken care of. 11 Samantha sips champagne in the top deck jacuzzi 11 Posing from a superyacht pretty much guarantees that you'll be winning at Instagram, says Samantha 11 With the launch of Anchord's prize draw, anyone can win a week aboard the yacht 11 Taking in the stunning view from the top deck of a yacht is no longer exclusive to the super rich Advertisement Spoilt like a celebrity There are shaving kits, toothbrushes, sun hats and sun lotion in a choice of factors. There is even a yoga mat and a foam roller to ease any muscle soreness after an invigorating swim. There are windows - or portholes - in both my bedroom and my bathroom. It means I can see the sea as I shower, and this turns out to be a uniquely enjoyable experience. It has spoilt me for all other bathrooms, as I would now like surrounding-sea-views for all my showers. Heading back upstairs, I'm told that we'll be anchoring in a bay near Aigina, one of the Saronic Islands just off the Greek mainland, in the Saronic Gulf. Here we will be doing watersports with the smorgasbord of equipment that is somehow tidily tucked away on board - despite the fact that even Stacey Solomon and the Sort Your Life Out team would struggle to fit it all in a double garage. Advertisement As a G&T is handed to me on the sun deck, it strikes me that this stratospheric level of being looked after is one that I would love to get used to But first we're having lunch, and as I enter the dining room, I suspect we may have a stowaway in the form of interior design guru It turns out it's one of the stewards, whose attention to detail would probably see them stacking up followers on Instagram, and somehow they conjure up an entirely new tablescape for every meal. The food? Well, as I'm sure you've guessed by now, there is an excellent chef on board. He serves platters of freshly cut fruit, makes the best tzatziki I've ever eaten, and even panders to my poached egg preferences. I would like to take him home, and I consider downloading Happn, the dating app that shows you nearby singles - perhaps this could be the route to keeping him in my kitchen? Then I come to my senses as it dawns on me that he'd be unlikely to give up his life on a superyacht just to make my dinner. Advertisement However, as a G&T is handed to me on the sun deck, it strikes me that this stratospheric level of being looked after is one that I would love to get used to. So if you'd like to spend a week being spoilt like a celebrity, here's how… Just £10 enters you into Anchord's raffle for a week-long holiday, and it won't be lonely at the top (…deck!) because the prize is for six - with everyone's food and booze included, as well as a £5,000 voucher to pay for flights and transfers. Raffle tickets for the first prize draw went on sale on Monday 2nd June, with four weeks to snap up a ticket before the draw. After that, there will be a draw every four weeks. The Omaze of holidays Summer trips will be in the Mediterranean, while winter wins will be in the Caribbean. Advertisement The yachts will vary, but they will all be between 25 metres and 45 metres in length, with the winners of the first raffle spending a week sunning themselves like celebrities on the Daloli. So Anchord is basically the Omaze of holidays - instead of winning an effing big fancy house, you win a fancy vacay on an effing big yacht. Hurrah! Now, call me superficial, but I can smugly say that posing on a superyacht pretty much guarantees that you'll be winning at Instagram. Even in a swimsuit that's about as old as the average Love Islander, I got more 'fire' emojis in response to my pics than I have for almost anything else I've posted on Insta. And living the life of a celeb doesn't stop with a week on the yacht, because winners also get the kind of philanthropist kudos that comes with being a celebrity benefactor like Angelina Jolie, Advertisement Why? Because for every raffle, a minimum of £10,000 will be donated to the children's hospice Naomi House & Jacksplace, with an additional sum being donated to a hospice in each winner's local area. Having spent a night on the Daloli as a guest, I know that in the future when I picture myself on a superyacht, I won't see myself emptying bathroom bins of soiled loo roll in the manner of a stressed steward in Below Deck. Instead, I'll have flashbacks to sipping champers in the top deck jacuzzi, while the chef prepares me a fresh seafood barbeque and a handsome crew member invites me for a spin on a jet ski. I'm feeling optimistic that this experience will raise my manifesting game - so much so that I imagine it's only a matter of time until the Law of Attraction works its magic and I sail off on another superyacht… Raffle tickets are available at Advertisement 11 Samantha gets ready for some watersports 11 She adds: 'I'm feeling optimistic that this experience will raise my manifesting game' 11 Win the luxury yacht trip by simply buying a raffle ticket

More on Wimbledon Primark says the dress is 'perfect for dressing up or down, it's a go to piece for warm days or layered looks.' Wimbledon is the oldest tennis tournament in the world and attracts royalty and A-listers alike. As well as being steeped in tradition with the refreshments served, the day also has a typically prim and proper dress code. Often people wear crisp white outfits, or pay homage to the championship's signature green and purple colour. Most read in Fabulous Typically there isn't a strict dress code, but smart casual is recommended, particularly for those with tickets for Centre Court or Court No 1. Fascinators aren't traditionally worn, but summer hats are encouraged to provide some relief from the sun. Unrecognisable former Wimbledon champion fangirls over Hollywood star after spotting him from Royal Box There's hope that style icon Princess will be attending this year's event, alongside other fashionable royal favourites such as Zara Tindall and Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh. Ben Roberts, Managing Director of British jewellery brand Clogau, shared: 'You don't get into the royal box at Wimbledon unless you're dressed to impress. However, the dress code is still far more relaxed than you'd find at an official royal event.

"Kate could switch things up this year; polka dots have made a comeback, a pattern she has always loved. It wouldn't be surprising to see her incorporate this into her look." 'Kate is often seen wearing pearl earrings for engagements as they compliment her stand-out, impressionable style; a classic touch like her beloved Annoushka pearl earrings make for the perfect accessory.' While we may not have Princess Kate's wardrobe budget, the Primark dress could do the trick. What it's like to be a Wimbledon ball kid By Alison Maloney WHILE the likes of Carlos Alcaraz, Coco Gauff and Andy Murray keep us entertained during this summer's Championships, spare a thought for those unsung heroes that keep the tournament going. Personal trainer Alex Crockford, now 33, served as a ball boy at Wimbledon in 2005 and 2006, and has lifted the lid to SunSport on what it's really like. 'Standing still for hours is one of the toughest parts of being a ball boy,' he says. 'It's quite strict and you don't want to let your team down or feel like you're doing a bad job. 'I remember one really hot day, I clearly hadn't fuelled or hydrated myself appropriately. "I did have a very faint moment, and started seeing blurry stars. 'There are six BBGs on the court and a captain, which was me, so I was standing to the left of the umpire chair and I was away from my water. 'I had to go outside of my position, get some water and re-balance myself before I could continue." Click
