Posting on social media, the brunette beauty couldn't stop gasping after doing a huge haul in New Look. As well as trying on a blue mini dress and a red co-ord, Pia also found a stunning pair of Brown Crinkle Textured Striped Wide Leg Trousers, which she paired with a Dark Brown Button Up Vest. She even got her hands on a Black Mesh Floral Print Cowl Halterneck Maxi Dress - and it looks so expensive. Alongside the short clip, the influencer beamed: 'Sorry, have I been missing something for years??😍' Stunned by the gorgeous New Look buys, Pia, who is from the UK, added: 'I am shocked!! 'Wow, how many gorgeous pieces, quality is unreal and I loved it all haha SHOCK. 'I truly couldn't believe how nice the bits I chose were.' Pia managed to get her hands on a pair of striped trousers, which are priced at £29.99 and are available in three colours - black, green and Pia's choice, brown. And it's not just Pia who loves them, as online shoppers have praised them as 'comfortable, lightweight and perfect for holiday.' Fashion Editor Abby shows you how to wear this dress for every occasion this summer. As well as this, not only are they said to not crease, but others were impressed with the 'nice fabric' and hailed the high-street trousers as 'lovely.' Meanwhile, Pia paired the trousers with her new button up vest, which is super affordable at only £12.99. As well as being reasonably priced, it's incredibly versatile - it'll look great with shorts for a casual look, or can be dressed up with tailored trousers for a day in the office. How New Look reinvented itself from a teen shop by Fabulous fashion editor Clemmie Fieldsend "REMEMBER on a Saturday you'd meet up with your mates in your local town or city centre for a nosey around the shops? Well, if you were like me you'd end up in a New Look." says Clemmie Fieldsend. "New Look was always one of those shops that when all else failed you could rely on them for whatever you needed. Your college uniform, night out or disco outfit - whatever was required you could count on New Look to meet your style needs." Clemmie says: "I felt myself growing out of New Look and thought of it as a younger brand that wouldn't have what I wanted but a quick scroll through their website or look through stores has proved me wrong. This summer they are serving up some on trend delights from clothing to accessories and of course their comfortable footwear. Recently they've lured in Girls Aloud's Nadine Coyle for an exclusive Spring Edit plus fashion influencer Georgina Lennon. They're providing quality basics, elevated stables and trend lead designs that echo the New Look we all once loved but just a bit more grown up." But that's not all, as Pia also nabbed the Black Mesh Floral Print Cowl Halterneck Maxi Dress, which is priced at £35.99. The stunning dress has been hailed by New Look bosses as 'a head-turning maxi for moments in the sun.' This black mesh dress is also said to promise a 'figure-skimming silhouette with pretty florals and a low-cut back.' I always forget about New Look but wow these all look amazing Instagram user It's sure to look eye-catching when paired with sandals for an evening look, but shoppers have even described it as 'beautiful' for a wedding guest dress. One user was left beaming with the frock and claimed it 'fits perfectly.' Fashion fans beam And it's clear that Pia's Instagram clip, which was posted under the username @pia_gracesmith, has left many equally as impressed, as it has quickly racked up 134,000 views, 1,796 likes and 340 comments. Fashion fans were left gushing with Pia's New Look finds and many eagerly rushed to the comments to express this. One person said: 'OMG!!!!! I never find anything I like in New Look!!!! I literally like everything in this reel!!!!' Hottest fashion trends of 2025 Fabulous' Fashion Editor Clemmie Fieldsend shares the biggest trends from the high street. The East/West Bag Baguette bags have had a good run, after returning from the 1990s' shoulders of Sarah Jessica Parker to modern-day fashion icons, like Hailey Bieber. In 2025, the East/West bag is a similar but elongated shape and has long, thin straps that are easy to throw over your shoulder. They've been on runway models' arms at nearly ever designer show - think Burberry, Givenchy and Bottega Veneta - and are hitting the high street now, too. Powder pink Bright fuchsia pink had its day after the release of Barbie in 2023 and now the more polished and expensive-looking pale shade is taking over for 2025. Pantone may say that it's the year of Mocha Mousse, but the catwalks say otherwise! From Prada to Erdem, the subtle look was all over the spring/summer catwalks, worn head-to-toe or on its own. If the sugary shade is too girly for you, then look to sharp suiting for a androgynous take on the colour. The shell jacket The '80s classic is back, but with a sleek and minimal new twist for 2025. We all know we're likely to see rain for most of spring, so your practical coat of choice should be a cagoule jacket. Depop revealed one of its big trend predictions for this year is retro sportswear, with surges already seen in '80s windbreakers'. Seen everywhere from the stylish streets of Copenhagen to the Miu Miu catwalk, now mums who have an emergency raincoat crumpled underneath their pushchair are very much in fashion! The turn-up jeans While the shape of jeans remains the same for this year and barrel-legs will still be everywhere, the way we're styling them is different. This season, transform your wide-leg, baggy denims into turn-ups. For this look, size doesn't matter, so while deep turn-ups are a hit from jean trend-leaders Citizens of Humanity, a slight fold is still just as good - but only as it's just one single fold. Peep-toe shoe Get your pedicures booked in sharpish, as this season your toes are the main event. After a long hiatus, the peep-toe has been welcomed back into the fashion fold, with brands like Hermes, Miu Miu and Tory Burch showing plain and embellished footwear in this style. From mules to pumps and clogs (yes, clogs will be around too!), there are lots of different styles that are set to sweep the high street. Sheer blouses See-through looks have always lived on the catwalk, but have rarely filtered into everyday life - until now. Designers Ralph Lauren and Tom Ford loved sheer looks on their S/S '25 catwalks and M&S even had sellout success with its black sheer pencil skirt last season. Expect to see more sheer looks lining supermarket aisles and high street shops in the form of skirts, tops and frocks. Another added: 'Never shop in New Look but wow 🔥 stunning.' A third commented: 'I always forget about New Look but wow these all look amazing.' Meanwhile, one fashionista gasped: 'You're making me skint!!!' Whilst someone else beamed: 'They are all so beautiful on you.' Unlock even more award-winning articles as The Sun launches brand new membership programme - Sun Club

Vicky Pattison thanks £22 flattering maxi dress for ‘giving curves I don't have'
Vicky Pattison's holiday wardrobe has featured plenty of amazing dresses so far, but one in particular has been a big hit as she thanked it for 'giving me curves I don't have When it comes to choosing which outfits to bring with you on holiday, the best pieces to pack are the ones that are comfortable, easy to wear, and make you feel ultra confident. If you're in need of some holiday outfit inspiration, Vicky Pattison seems to have curated the perfect selection of clothes for her trip to the Maldives that have all had fans begging for outfit details. Thankfully Vicky has been sharing all of her outfit details with fans, and one of her stand out dresses was a chocolate brown maxi dress that she wore to head out for a luxurious dinner. Considering how beautifully fitting the dress is, we were expecting a designer price tag – but it turns out that not only was Vicky's Chocolate Wrap Detail Maxi Dress already affordably priced at £28, but it's now even cheaper, down to £22.50 in the PrettyLittleThing sale. Vicky shared a photo of herself wearing the PLT maxi dress on her Instagram stories, where she wrote: 'This dress gave me curves I simply do not have… so thanks for that' before linking to the dress so her followers could also shop her look. There's no denying that the Chocolate Wrap Detail Maxi Dress is perfect for both creating the illusion of curves and enhancing ones you already have thanks to its cleverly placed draping. It features an asymmetrical neckline with an off the shoulder strap, creating a flowing shape around your neck and chest. The waist is also accentuated with a wrap detail which knots at the side, which creates the appearance of curves much more than a simple straight up and down dress. The fabric of the Chocolate Wrap Detail Maxi Dress also lends itself to that figure-flattering fit, with its slinky jersey material hugging your body in all the right places whilst still flowing nicely. Whilst its chocolate brown colour is perfect for a sophisticated look, it does also come in five other colours, including cream, black and pink. However, the sizing is limited, with only sizes four to 12 available and no plus size option on the PrettyLittleThing site. But don't worry, because we found plenty of other gorgeous options with a wider size range, including this Dark Brown Cowl Neck Draped Midi Dress from New Look which comes in sizes six to 22. It's also on sale, down to £26.99 from £35.99 and has a similar draping around the waist and hips to create a flattering shape. It also has a side slit and V-neckline, with a midi length hem which makes it the perfect cool and comfortable pick for holidays. ASOS also offers a slightly more covered-up option, with its £36 chocolate brown Cap Sleeve Wrap Front Maxi Dress which has a more laid-back, classic look. Alternatively Omnes' Nova Tie Back Dress in Chocolate is £95 and available in sizes four to 24 and 13 different colours, with a more minimalist fit.

Each Nakshatra and the Colour They Should Avoid Wearing Too Much
Not every color is a vibe for every star. Just like some songs don't belong in a sad playlist, some colors can drain energy, invite chaos, or simply misalign with a Nakshatra 's frequency. Here's the cosmic fashion no-no list — what each Nakshatra should tone down or avoid altogether when dressing to impress the universe. Ashwini – Avoid: Grey Too dull for this spark plug of a Nakshatra. Grey dims Ashwini's quick instincts and fiery aura. Bharani – Avoid: Deep Blue It invites overthinking and emotional turbulence — the opposite of Bharani's bold, intuitive energy. Krittika – Avoid: Black Krittika already burns hot. Black adds weight, causing mood swings and power clashes. Rohini – Avoid: Red Too much red can overstimulate this sensual moon-child. It throws off their charm and balance. Mrigashira – Avoid: Dark Green It muddies their curious, airy energy, dragging them into loops of confusion or self-doubt. Ardra – Avoid: Yellow Too bright, too soon. Yellow overstimulates Ardra's already intense emotional currents. Punarvasu – Avoid: Neon Colours This dual-natured Nakshatra thrives in peace. Neon distracts and fragments their clarity. Pushya – Avoid: Orange Pushya's nurturing calm doesn't mesh with orange's intense fire. It can cause irritability. Ashlesha – Avoid: White This mystical, secretive sign feels exposed and energetically scattered in too much white. Magha – Avoid: Purple Though royal, purple can provoke ego flares and drama in this already power-centered nakshatra. Purva Phalguni – Avoid: Brown Too grounded, too dry. It dulls their romanticism and party-animal tendencies. Uttara Phalguni – Avoid: Crimson Overactivates their drive and can lead to obsession over results and validation. Hasta – Avoid: Black Drains their optimism and makes their wit feel forced or misunderstood. Chitra – Avoid: Pastels Chitra needs bold, dramatic colour. Pastels mute their sparkle and confidence. Swati – Avoid: Dark Brown This wind-driven Nakshatra loses spontaneity and joy in heavy, earthen shades. Vishakha – Avoid: Light Blue It calms them too much — to the point of complacency, when they thrive on ambition. Anuradha – Avoid: Bright Red Too emotionally triggering; ignites restlessness in an already intense soul. Jyeshtha – Avoid: Beige Their aura needs dominance, not neutrality. Beige makes them feel invisible. Mula – Avoid: Gold Despite its royalty, gold enhances karmic clashes and drama for Mula. Purva Ashadha – Avoid: Greyish Blue It kills their spark and invites boredom — their ultimate enemy. Uttara Ashadha – Avoid: Teal Too mellow, it softens their leadership energy and mutes their clarity. Shravana – Avoid: Maroon Can make them overly nostalgic, distracted, or emotionally stuck. Dhanishta – Avoid: Pink Too fluffy for their action-oriented, rhythm-loving energy. They crave edge, not fluff. Shatabhisha – Avoid: Green May cause emotional fog or imbalance — not ideal for this futuristic, healing mind. Purva Bhadrapada – Avoid: Turquoise It blurs their deeper insights and drains their spiritual intensity. Uttara Bhadrapada – Avoid: Bright Orange Too jarring; interrupts their calm, old-soul wisdom and meditative vibe. Revati – Avoid: Black Too heavy for this soft, dreamy nakshatra. It can pull them into melancholy or over-sacrifice.

Numerology, May 23, 2025: Numerology has been given special importance in astrology. The numbers formed based on a person's date of birth tell a lot about that person's personality. At the same time, some numbers are considered very lucky in numerology. Let's know from astrologer Chirag Daruwalla how the day will be for you today. For number 1, a message from abroad will bring good news financially. Number 2 people will be happy and satisfied. Number 3 people will be very busy with a new relationship.

Number 1 (People born on 1, 10, 19 and 28 of any month) Ganesha says there is no help forthcoming from friends or colleagues at this time. This day is going to test you mentally and physically.

Your partner and you seem out of sync; you need to give each other some space. Your lucky number is 4, and your lucky colour is Sky Blue. Number 2 (People born on 2, 11, 20 or 29 of any month) Ganesha says money, recognition and success are all yours for the taking. You are happy and satisfied; the day is full of spectacular achievements. It does not take much to pacify your rivals at this time. Expect a windfall, perhaps through a property deal. Physical relationships bring no joy during this period. Your lucky number is 4, and your lucky colour is Violet. Number 3 (People born on 3, 12, 21, 30 of any month) Ganesha says you could have many public rivals. You are happy and content as a communication from afar proves lucrative.

Number 5 (People born on 5, 14, 23 of any month) Ganesha says you involve yourself wholeheartedly in charity activities. Hectic activity leaves you feeling exhausted and restless throughout the day.

Your lucky number is 11, and your lucky colour is Orange. Number 6 (People born on 6, 15 or 24 of any month) Ganesha says officials in large institutions are quite helpful. Do not indulge in avoidable arguments today. This is an appropriate time to buy a car or a vehicle of some sort. You need to be on the move; a meeting or presentation will bear fruit. Your partner is a source of inspiration at this time. Your lucky number is 3, and your lucky colour is Coffee. Number 7 (People born on 7, 16, and 25 of any month) Ganesha says expect good news from people in top management. You will make contact with important people today. The health of a family member may be under suspicion. Your hard work finally pays off, bringing you professional success. New romantic interests broaden your horizons and provide new insight. Your lucky number is 5, and your lucky colour is Parrot Green. Number 8 (People born on 8, 17 and 26 of any month) Ganesha says you are on your own, as friends and close relatives refuse to come to your aid. A desire to possess the luxuries of life, here and now, prevails throughout the day. You may experience some bodily discomfort towards the end of the day. Sustained hard work boosts your career prospects, and you revel in peer group admiration. Be patient with your partner; everyone needs their space and time. Your lucky number is 1, and your lucky colour is Golden Brown. Number 9 (People born on 9, 18 and 27 of any month) Ganesha says do not plan to pack too much in the day; the disruptions will drive you out of your mind. Your magnetism is on the rise today. Physical charm, health and inner strength are on a high. This is an excellent day to expand your professional horizons. The love of your life is a trifle annoyed, but it will pass with the due course of time. Your lucky number is 17, and your lucky colour is Parrot Green.
