Priced at £13, the "cute" sleep set has wowed fans of the classic film. The design features Jaq and Gus, who movie fans will recognise as two of Cinderella's closest companions.

Another commenter gushed: "ARE YOU KIDDINGGG," while a different response read: "OH MY GOSHHHHHH." Maisie said: "I love them so much." Meanwhile, a social media user praised: "Oh my goodness! "I'm so pleased Primark has got onto the Cinderella hype," and Maisie said: "Me too! She's my no.1" Someone else thought: "Yea we need the Disney princesses now I'm tired of Stitch." A different fan said: "At least it's something other than Stitch for a change!" Elsewhere, shoppers said they'd love the PJs for special occasions. One shopper commented: "Omggg stop. I need these for my Disney trip in November." Another added: "I'm going to go find these today as my 40th birthday eve pjs. Wish me luck on finding them." Others shared that they'd be "running" to find the PJs featuring their favourite characters. For instance, a reply read: "Oh my goodness 2 of my faves!"

A different response read: "Omg I shall be running for these," and a fan praised: "NOOOOOOO MY FAVE CHARACTER." Maisie replied: "Me too!! My fave sidekicks ever. So cute." Maisie said the pyjamas are "so comfy," praising the fit when a commenter criticised Primark's sizing. The viewer said: "I'd love these but Primark only does cropped or boxy pj tops now. I can't stand my belly exposed everytime I lift my arms up or move," and she replied: "Yeah I 100% agree!! But I do think these ones are slightly on the longer side compared to most of them and I'm 5'9!" However, the response wasn't the only criticism shared by viewers. Someone questioned: "Why don't they do these for the kids though?" Another wrote: "Nooo why did it have to be long pj bottoms? It should be shorts." While the pyjamas do not appear to be available on Primark's website, the retailer offers a selection of Disney sleepwear online. For example, there's a Disney's Minnie Mouse Short Pyjama Set for £17, a Disney's The Lion King Simba Pyjama Set for £9, and a Disney Toy Story Short Pyjama Set for £17. There's also a selection of Disney-themed pyjamas for children, ideal for families looking for themed PJs.

One to watch: Model/Actriz
Exuding glamour, spectacle and pathos, Model/Actriz create a ferocious mix of industrial rock, dance-punk and pop that's often sexy and disturbing in the same breath. After breaking out in 2023 with debut album Dogsbody, the New York four-piece spent 2024 touring relentlessly, likely leaving every stage they played slicked with a mixture of sweat and blood. Their forthcoming follow-up record, Pirouette, is their first for British independent label Dirty Hit. Lead single Cinderella is a remarkable, teeth-gnashing reintroduction to their sound: a brutalising song about, in part, lead singer Cole Haden's desire to have a Cinderella-themed birthday party when he was five. This is quintessential Model/Actriz, blending manic, menacing grooves with steely-eyed flamboyance and needling openness. The band – Haden, Ruben Radlauer, Aaron Shapiro and Jack Wetmore – formed in 2016, and it's their sense of gay transgression and avowed diva worship, brought to the band by Haden, that separates them from the scores of punk-adjacent rock acts on the rise. Pirouette is punchier, more willing to sink its teeth in, than Dogsbody, and allows for moments of softness too, such as the forlorn spoken-word track Headlights or delicate ballad Acid Rain. It will almost definitely beef up an already killer live show, but if you can't catch it, Model/Actriz still bring immense spectacle to their records. Pirouette is out on 2 May via Dirty Hit. Model/Actriz play Outbreak festival in London and Manchester, 13-15 June
