Next's £32 dress channels Dolce & Gabbana vibes for a fraction of the price
Fashion fans have been raving about Next's £32 'Italian-inspired' mini dress that gives serious Dolce & Gabbanna vibes for more than £1600 cheaper Now that we've had our first real heatwave of the year, fashion enthusiasts are likely preparing their summer wardrobes in anticipation of the warmer weather. If you're searching for the ideal dress to wear during the sunny UK days or on a holiday abroad, Boden is offering a 25% discount on everything until next week - including some standout summer dresses. Boden's Bank Holiday sale includes reductions on dresses, trousers, skirts, shoes and jumpsuits, which you can shop here. Meanwhile, it's worth checking out Next for some great holiday-ready and designer inspired pieces. The high street retailer is selling the Cream Pink and Blue House Print Scoop Back Mini Shift Dress for £32, a bargain considering its resemblance to a much pricier version. While not an exact match, the shift dress bears a striking similarity to a Dolce and Gabbana piece. If you were to choose the high-end Capri Printed Cotton Mini Dress, it would cost you a hefty £850, currently half its original RRP of £1,700. This makes the Next version nearly £820 cheaper than the luxury brand's offering. Available in petite, regular and tall cuts in a range of sizes from six to 26, the £32 dress is made from a lightweight linen blend perfect for summer. The mini dress features a scoop back neckline with side pockets and a split side hem. The standout feature of this frock is undeniably its stunning print. The fabric's motif evokes the charm of a European getaway, reminiscent of the pattern on a Dolce & Gabbana piece inspired by the idyllic Italian island of Capri. Meanwhile, Roman's Royal Blue Abstract Border Print Shirt Dress exudes Mamma Mia! vibes and is up for grabs at £37.20, down from £42 with the code SHINE used at checkout. And over at New Look, you can find the White Amalfi Postcard Print Slit Hem Midi Dress that also draws inspiration from the scenic Italian coastline, reports the Manchester Evening News. The Cream Pink and Blue House Print Scoop Back Mini Shift Dress, however, has garnered praise from customers, earning an impressive 4.5 out of five-star overall rating based on over a dozen reviews. A contented customer commented: "Very nice dress, .looks fabulous on. Bright and nicely different pattern." Another review added: "Lovely little summer dress. The muted colours able to dress up or down depending on the occasion." Also, one person remarked: "Nice shape dress," pointing out that it's "Easy to wear and comfortable. Great for holidays day or night. Great colour and fabric." However, not all feedback was glowing as one shopper gave the Cream Pink and Blue House Print Scoop Back Mini Shift Dress just three stars, criticising it as 'unflattering' – an opinion worth considering. The critique read: "Colours were very drab, the neckline was very high. Not a flattering dress." Despite that, another was thrilled with their latest Next acquisition, saying: "Perfect for holidays. Classic shape and beautiful print. The longer length is just right for me."

Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) BERGERAC received a very mixed response when it was rebooted in Britain recently, but apparently the rest of the world can't get enough of it. The detective series set on Jersey has been snapped up by execs in Japan, and will go out on their premium pay TV broadcaster WOWOW. 6 The Bergerac reboot has become a hit overseas, pictured star Damien Molony Credit: Joe Pepler/PinPep It comes after the programme, which stars Damien Molony filling the lead role once held by John Nettles, was a hit for UKTV, although some critics and fans preferred the original. The overnight and catch-up tally for the six-parter was a respectable 1.8m an episode, which gave the streaming platform one of the best weeks in its history. Already flogged to the Netherlands, Belgium, all of Scandinavia, Poland and even New Zealand and Australia, it's becoming a bigger Jersey export than spuds and milk. Chris to be voice of ADHD HE'S become a voice for neurodivergent people since opening up about his own diagnosis in his documentary, Asperger's And Me, in 2017, and BBC series Inside Our Autistic Minds two years ago. And Chris Packham is adamant he isn't put off by the criticism he receives for speaking up about relevant issues ahead of his latest BBC Two show, Inside Our ADHD Minds. 6 Chris Packham will present a series on ADHD Credit: PA The TV presenter, who first became known for his work as a naturalist, said: 'I am fortunate to have a small voice, I ought to exercise that voice and I'm not the sort of bloke who's going to make a piece of TV, go home, open a bottle of wine and forget about it. 'Of course it comes at a cost, we live in a world where you'll be criticised for saying anything and I get push back, more over the environment than speaking about neurodiversity, but it's there. 'But my sister reminded me the other day, I've been bullied all my life, I was bullied in the playground and now, I'm being bullied in the House of Commons. 'It doesn't really matter – it's all the same thing, and I've become quite robust.' Inside Our ADHD Minds will be broadcast tonight at 9pm on BBC Two. Winterwatch fans brand show 'filth' after innuendo-filled conversation between hosts Chris Packham and Michaela Strachan Theo Gan do it THINGS must have got a little hot and intimate when Theo James squeezed into a boat to film a new Dolce & Gabbanna ad in Capri, Italy.

Aisling's hairy moment FINDING out you're related to a criminal mastermind is likely to be the biggest fear for most celebrities who sign up to dig into the past on Who Do You Think You Are?

'Like, what if they all had mullets? That's something you'd never really recover from. 'There is a bit of losing control that I'm not entirely comfortable with.'

Jez won't bale on farm hit HE'S about to release Clarkson's Farm 4 on Prime Video on May 23, and has started on a fifth instalment, but Jeremy Clarkson is already talking about making a sixth series. The telly farmer hinted he'd be open to another season, but not until everyone's had a breather. 6 Jeremy Clarkson is already talking about making a sixth series of Clarkson's Farm Credit: PA He said: 'I'd do a sixth if there was a reason, like a bloody good story. 'Whatever happens, we'll take a short break as the crews are worn out. 'We've been filming (at Diddly Squat Farm, Oxfordshire) two or three days a week, every week, for five years. Everybody could do with a rest.' Jeremy hinted he might make history documentaries instead, telling The Sunday Times: 'My mind is still attuned to stories. 'You just go, 'That would make a good story, that would interest people'. 'I've got probably ten ideas. But then you've got to sell it to a broadcaster and they're all in dire straits.' I'm pretty sure Prime Video would want to keep you on their books, Jezza.
