Louise Thompson shares her ‘great SKIMS t-shirt dupe' you can shop on Amazon
Louise Thompson has managed to track down the perfect alternative to Skims' £48 T-shirt, as she shared the £12 Amazon alternative that she's 'chuffed' with When it comes to wardrobe essentials, a simple white T-shirt is one of the most basic but essential items you can have. Easy to pair with anything, dress up or down and an instant way to make something look crisp and put together, we would hazard a guess that there's not a wardrobe in the world that doesn't have one. However if you are in the market for adding a white T-shirt to your outfit rotations, Louise Thompson has found the perfect one that's affordable, flattering and easy to wear. Posting on Instagram, Louise shared a link to Amazon's Risipu Women's Short Sleeve T-Shirt, writing: 'I have found a great SKIMS dupe T-shirt from Amazon and I'm feeling chuffed about it.' It's worth noting that Louise's post was tagged as an ad, presumably with the former Made in Chelsea star working alongside Amazon. However there's no denying that the affordable tee is a perfect pick for anyone wanting to get the SKIMS look for less. Whilst SKIMS' Short-Sleeved Slim-Fit Stretch-Cotton T-Shirt is priced at £48, Louise's Amazon doppleganger is much more affordable at £11.99. It gives you the same slim-fitting and streamlined look, with a cropped length that hits just on your waist for a flattering fit. Available in five different colours including white, black and pink, it's a great addition to your wardrobe basics. We also spotted similar styles at Hollister, where its Soft Stretch Seamless Fabric Longline Baby Tee is on sale down from £15.95 to £9.99, and New Look, where the £12.99 White Crew Neck Short Sleeve Bodysuit is ideal for getting a longer fit and more coverage. However the Amazon Risipu Women's Short Sleeve T-Shirt is a great buy, with a classic crew neck and made from a soft, breathable and stretchy fabric that's 5% cotton. It's also available in sizes small to extra large. It's also been highly rated by other Amazon shoppers, with one saying: 'Soft and true to size, stretchy lightweight fabric easily washable, easy to dress up and down, comfortable and stylish option for everyday wear.' Another agreed: 'The quality of this T-shirt is excellent and is breathable as well! I got the black one and it goes well with any colour and type of pants. This is also great for layering clothes. The sleeves are short and go halfway above my elbows. It's cropped and it shows my waist.' One however mentioned: 'Fabric was soft but T-shirt was extremely see through.'

Kim Kardashian Paris Robbery Verdict: 8 out of 10 Suspects Found Guilty
Aomar Aït Khedache, whom prosecutors claimed masterminded the armed robbery of Kim Kardashian in Paris nearly a decade ago, was found guilty of the crime by a Paris court on Friday. Seven men and one woman were found guilty at the conclusion of the trial, according to The New York Times; one defendant was acquitted while another was found guilty but cleared of involvement in the robbery. In October 2016, robbers dressed as policemen entered a hotel, overpowered a nightwatchman, and used his keys to enter Kardashian's room. After bursting in with guns drawn, they bound her hands and gagged her mouth. They took a box containing approximately $6 million in jewels and Kardashian's $4.5 million wedding ring. They left her locked in a bathroom, absconding with her cell phone and wallet.

The judge wrote the verdict on a screen for him to read. Those found guilty face sentences of three to eight years, depending on the charge, which ranges from direct involvement in the crime to complicity with it, according to the Times. The sentences were either mostly suspended or entirely suspended because of the defendants' ages, who have been nicknamed the 'grandpa robbers' because they're in their 60s and 70s. David De Pas, the judge overseeing the trial, acknowledged that the sentences were 'lenient.' But he added, 'You did harm.' 'I am deeply grateful to the French authorities for pursuing justice in this case,' Kardashian said in a statement, according to NBC News. 'The crime was the most terrifying experience of my life, leaving a lasting impact on me and my family. While I'll never forget what happened, I believe in the power of growth and accountability and pray for healing for all. I remain committed to advocating for justice, and promoting a fair legal system.' Kardashian testified as much earlier this month. 'I absolutely did think I was going to die,' she told the court. She also said she didn't immediately understand what was transpiring. 'I didn't get what was happening, and I didn't get it was about my jewelry, even though they specifically asked for my ring,' she said. Once it set in, she told the court she was worried the men would rape her, since she was wearing only a bathrobe, but they didn't. The incident left her with trauma and a 'phobia of going out,' she said, in the event people 'see me out and know my home was empty.' She added that she's unable to sleep now without knowing she has multiple bodyguards looking out for her. While in court, Kardashian addressed Khedache, who had sent her a letter after his 2017 arrest. 'I do appreciate the letter for sure,' she said. 'I do appreciate it. I forgive you. But it doesn't change the emotion, the feelings and the trauma and the way my life has changed.'
