We've found a £28 alternative that looks just as luxe as Molly-Mae's Miu Miu bag
If you've been eyeing up Molly-Mae's luxe Miu Miu tote but not the price tag, we've found a £28 alternative that gives you the same designer look for way less Molly-Mae Hague has firmly earned her style icon status, and when she wears something, it usually sells out fast. We couldn't help but notice Molly carrying that dreamy Miu Miu tote you've probably seen other celebs with on her most recent holiday. Unfortunately, with a price tag of over £1k, coming in at around £1.7k, we can't see the 'Molly-Mae-effect' quite happening with this one. However, if it's on your wishlist too, but your bank account says otherwise, don't worry. We've found a high-street alternative for £28 that nails the same sleek, minimalist vibe. The Stone Canvas and Faux Leather Tote Bag from New Look is priced at £27.99, and gives that same Miu Miu aesthetic for a fraction of the price. This spacious stone-toned canvas bag is the perfect combination of chic and practical. Like the Miu Miu tote, it's big enough to fit your laptop, gym kit or weekend-away essentials, making it the perfect go-to bag for everything from beach holidays to overnight stays, and office days. The gold hardware and faux leather trims give it a luxe, designer feel, while the press-stud fastening and internal zip pocket keep your essentials secure. Molly seems to be using her roomy tote as her travel/airport bag, which we think is the perfect place for it as it's so large it can fit everything you need for travelling. It's also great for, if like Molly, you've got children and need a bag big enough to stash all their baby bits. For other styling tips, we recommend pairing it with linen trousers and a white vest for a clean, off-duty look or throwing it on with a floaty summer dress and sandals for that chic Riviera vibe. Luckily, the neutral colour goes with everything, and the top handles and optional crossbody strap mean you can wear it your way. If you want to take some more style inspiration from Molly, we found her exact baby blue bikini. The flattering underwired design hails from Monday Swimwear, a brand that also made an appearance in the latest series of The White Lotus.

Molly-Mae's ‘supportive' blue bikini is from trendy brand worn in The White Lotus
Molly-Mae Hague has been posting photos from Dubai, sporting a cute baby blue outfit including a flattering bikini top from a brand that also featured in The White Lotus Ahead of part two of her Amazon Prime show Molly-Mae: Behind It All airing on 9 May, Molly-Mae Hague has been soaking up the sun on a short trip to one of her favourite places, Dubai – and it seems she's found a new favourite colour. The 25 year old posted several snaps to her Instagram account sporting a pretty baby blue outfit, including trousers from her own brand Maebe, a pricey Louis Vuitton bag and even a matching light blue Stanley cup. What we love most though is the bikini top she's wearing: a flattering underwired design from a brand that also made an appearance in the latest series of The White Lotus. Molly-Mae wore the Cala Roja Top in Azure/Ivory from popular brand Monday Swimwear, which costs £110 and features an adjustable back tie, soft underwiring and 'supportive wide shoulder straps'. We're particularly smitten with the colourway Molly wears – which is still available in all sizes, from Monday sizings 'petite' to 'very very voluptuous' – but it also comes in 19 other colours and patterns, so there's plenty to choose from. While the influencer wears Maebe trousers on her bottom half in the pictures, we reckon she probably also owns matching Monday bikini bottoms, either the Marseille Bottom, £91, or the Palma Thong, £87. Monday Swimwear featured on screen recently in the latest season of hit TV show The White Lotus. Piper, the daughter of the materialistic Ratliff family who initially said she was visiting Thailand for research for her thesis, wore Monday's Sausalito One Piece; the orange colour she wore is no longer available but there are seven other shades still available to shop. If you're looking for a cheaper way to copy Molly-Mae's Dubai style, Boux Avenue's Ibiza floral plunge bikini top in Powder Blue instead costs £36 and has a similar shape and light blue colour, and is available in a wide range of sizes. The matching Ibiza floral bikini bottoms cost £20. If you want a bit more support or coverage, however, you might like Pour Moi's Blue Cali Hidden Underwired Bikini Top, £36 from Next, and its matching high-waisted bottoms, £24, which feature light tummy control and a flattering belt around the waist. And one accessory Molly is never without is her Stanley Quencher H2.0 Flowstate cup. While the baby blue version she took to Dubai is full price at £45, you can find the pretty rose quartz colour currently on sale for £36.

7 swimwear styles that help you nail the 'rich mom' look on a budget this summer
The "rich mom" aesthetic is making waves this summer in the swimwear department. If you're on the hunt for a new swimsuit, skip loud logos and trendy cuts in favor of pieces that feature clean lines and neutral tones. We're talking suits that drip with an effortless "I vacation in St. Barts" vibe. Not quite sure which styles will help you nail the "quiet luxury" look? I've got you covered. I turned to celebs like Gisele Bündchen, Gwyneth Paltrow and Jennifer Lopez, who exude rich-mom style, to see which swim silhouettes they wear. Think classic maillots, timeless black two-pieces and suits with elevated details. And here's the best part: You don't have to be rich (or a mom!) to embrace this trend. I rounded up a variety of options that channel that cabana-class grace without the hefty price tag. Prices start at just $27 and don't go higher than $150, so go ahead and score that "old money" look for less. Elevated, chic, and timeless — a simple one-piece maillot is the swimwear equivalent of a little black dress. Gisele Bündchen's high-cut suit elongates the figure, while the scooped neckline reveals just enough skin. Here are three affordable lookalikes with the same effortless appeal. Rich moms like Rosie Huntington-Whiteley take swimwear fashion next-level by reaching for styles that incorporate thoughtful details. Think buckled straps and metallic accents that turn even the simplest suit luxe. These touches deliver instant poolside prestige. There's something effortlessly sophisticated about a halterneck swimsuit — it blends classic glamour with subtle allure. The neckline highlights the shoulders and décolletage, offering a flirty, vintage Riviera vibe. Jennifer Lopez nails the look, and if her style feels too bold, we've found chic options with more coverage but the same glam appeal. Striped swimwear — especially in classic color combos like navy, black, red and white — evokes a nautical aesthetic that screams, "I belong to a yacht club." Whether you wear the style on its own or take a tip from Sofia Richie Grainge, who layers hers under light linen pieces, you'll get a breezy look that feels oh-so-coastal elite. Martha Stewart made waves when she appeared in this crisp white Monday Swimwear stunner on the 2023 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue cover. The suit features a waist support panel and wide straps for added bust support. If the deep neckline is more than you're comfortable with, don't worry. We found similar suits with the same luxe feel and more coverage. All in the same color that screams wealthy — because only a rich mom would be blissfully unconcerned about stains. Want to avoid tan lines this summer? Follow Chrissy Teigen's lead and try a strapless one-piece. A solid bandeau is timeless, flattering, and effortlessly luxe. For extra support, look for styles with removable straps — like the ones below. Gwyneth Paltrow proves that a black bikini never goes out of style. Her minimalist two-piece exudes sophistication, especially with its bra-like back clasp — more polished than a typical string bikini. While the Goop founder's sleek look reveals plenty of skin, we've found equally stylish options with a bit more coverage. Perfect for those seeking comfort and that coveted quiet luxury.

The clean lines and minimal hardware give it a timeless feel, while the supportive structure — especially in the bust — offers confidence and comfort.

The fabric feels high-quality, holds shape well after wear, and the colorway I selected felt modern yet classic.' Gabriella set: 'Romantic and poetic — this set is incredibly versatile — it's something I can lounge in at home but also style for a casual outing. The cut is flattering yet relaxed, and the fabric has a softness that feels elevated rather than overly casual.

Genevieve Luxury Teddy: 'Effortless and deeply piece feels like a love letter to the feminine form.
