Our fashion editors are loving these picks from Tu at Sainsbury's new range - and there's currently 20% off
You might think that working for a women's magazine, all the fashion chat is of ultra-expensive luxury brands, or little-known designers that are hard to track down. But at You magazine, it's just as likely for someone to come into the office and announce that their whole outfit comes from a supermarket as a high-end fashion brand, and Tu at Sainsbury's is one of our favourites. And it's not just the fashion team; all over Instagram, style influencers are gushing over their Sainsbury's clothing finds, which range from quilted denim gilets to the much raved about pyjamas. It's fair to say this supermarket brand is having a moment, and You's fashion bookings editor Lila Flint Roberts is very much on board. She flags this red linen co-ord (waistcoat £26 and trousers £22.50 at Sainsburys) as a look 'that will be everywhere' this spring, and also praises the fabric content, which is linen mix. 'A lot of the time, supermarket clothing has higher quality material composition than most high street shops' she reveals. Even better, Tu currently has 20% off its clothing range online and in-store. Here are some of the fashion picks we'll be shopping… Mid Washed Denim Jorts £14.40 (was £18) Shop Red T-Shirt Combined Midi Dress £18 (was £22.50) Shop Navy Striped Textured High Neck Swimsuit £14.40 (was £18) Shop Sage Pinstripe High Neck Co-ord Waistcoat £20.80 (was £26) Shop Sage Green Ultra-Wide Co-ord Tailored Trousers £18 (was £22.50) Shop Black Embroidered Sleeve Boho Midi Dress £22.40 (was £28) Shop

Packing secrets that fashion editors always rely on to look good on holiday
Holidays are wonderful; packing for them, less so. Unless you are one of those people who can simply throw a few pieces together and always look fabulous, then deciding what to pop in your suitcase feels like a serious challenge. Get it wrong and you could end up in all kinds of annoying scenarios: feeling underdressed when all your friends have packed all-out glam outfits. Spending your holiday absolutely freezing because you didn't check the temperature and only packed shorts and T-shirts. Or totally misreading the vibe and packing a load of party dresses when in fact you just want to chill out in tent-like garments. Of course, holidays are mainly about relaxing and having fun, but it does help to feel you're looking good too. So here the team at You magazine share their tips for packing well and putting together great holiday outfits, without tonnes of effort. Sophie Dearden-Howell, fashion director 'I always try my outfits on as I pack them. It's a little time consuming at the packing point but will save you time and energy on your on your outfits at home and then when you are on holiday there is no thinking or 'styling' yourself as it's all been done already. You are also more willing to style things you haven't styled together before if you give yourself an hour to play with it at home.' Rosie Green, associate editor (beauty) 'My holiday dressing hack isn't revolutionary but it has served me well – invest in great dresses! If they fit well and the fabric is travel-friendly you need nothing else but a pair of strappy sandals and a cardigan. Wear them to the beach, wear them to dinner, wear them shopping. They are so versatile.' Sophie Hines, lifestyle and digital editor 'If you are a bit of a clothes hoarder like me, then packing for holidays can feel quite overwhelming. That's until I hit on the hack of 'pack within a palette'. Whenever I'm going away, I pick three colours - two more neutral shades and one bright – and only pack pieces within this palette. So, for example I could choose black, beige and red, or navy, white and orange, and use this as a guideline to choose what I'm going to take. The massive benefit is that it means all the pieces can generally be mixed or matched together, and it also narrows down the overwhelm of looking at your entire wardobe and thinking 'what on earth am I going to take with me?'' Jessica Carroll, fashion stylist 'My top tip is to invest in some tarnish-free chunky gold jewellery. Hey Harper and make great pieces for quite an affordable price. It means you don't have to worry about taking it off if you go in the pool, or when you apply suncream. Layer up with some chunky hoops, some bangles, or a necklace stack - they look great alongside a black swimsuit in the day or a floaty summer dress in the evening and you instantly feel put together.' Charlotte Vossen, deputy digital editor 'My holiday wardrobe mainly consists of linen: loose trousers, oversized shirts, midi dresses – you name it and I've packed it. The only downside? No matter how neatly I've folded the items, they always come out of my suitcase looking like a crumpled-looking mess, which is why I travel with a clothes steamer. This one from Philips (£ 36.99, John Lewis) is my favourite as it's light, compact and foldable – and comes with a handy pouch to store it in.' Hope Palmer, fashion assistant 'The amount of times I've ended up with too many clothes, none of which look good together is ridiculous. Now I lean towards bringing almost exclusively white clothes, bar my swimwear, as I know a white top will go with a white trouser or shorts or skirt, and you can't go wrong with a white dress on holiday. Another plus of the full white is that you look a lot more tanned than you actually are!'

An interiors editor reveals the best space-saving tricks to make small rooms feel bigger
I've spent most of my adult life saying 'if only we had more space,' and yet I still refuse to do the sensible thing and pack up my London flat to move back to Wales and buy a decent-sized house. The problem with smaller homes is that they can quickly look cluttered, as I have learnt from experience. All it takes is the kids spreading their toys everywhere, a few letters left unopened on the kitchen table and coats being flung over the back of the sofa and suddenly my living room is giving me heart palpitations, rather than serving it's correct purpose as a relaxing space. Luckily, working at You magazine means I am surrounded by experts who I can consult on all matters of life, and for this particular issue I've turned to Nicole Gray, interiors editor. She has some brilliant space-saving ideas that help rooms to look bigger and less cluttered, from clever fold-up furniture to the colours that make your home look larger. 1. Go multipurpose (but make it chic) Look for furniture that works harder in your space: a bench with hidden storage, a divan bed with built-in drawers, or a coffee table that lifts into a work surface. The Norden table/desk from IKEA is ideal, as the tabletop drops so you can adjust the size accordingly. It also features six built-in storage drawers. With its rattan canework and curved design, the Matheo wall desk from La Redoute is another great option for small spaces. La Redoute Mathéo wall desk £649.99 Shop 2. Ditch the bulky sofa These are a no-go in small spaces, as they make the room look a bit 'dollhouse-y.' Opt instead for a sleek two-seater or a modular setup that can be configured to suit your needs. The new IKEA store on Oxford Street has just opened its big blue doors, offering a wide selection of modular and compact sofa designs. As if you needed an excuse to visit… John Lewis Sweep large sofa £619 Shop IKEA ÄPPLARYD sofa £699 Shop 3. Fold it flat Long gone are the days of bulky storage boxes and zip bags. In their place? Collapsible laundry baskets and drying racks that disappear when not in use. We've got our eye on the HangOn folding drying rack from Brabantia — it even has a sock-drying section. Genius. John Lewis Joseph Joseph collapsible basket £30 Shop 4. Keep a tight colour palette Paint is often overlooked in spatial design, but light tones and a cohesive colour palette help make spaces feel more expansive and airy. We love the soft pink of Reverie or the beige-white of Nap Time from the new tonal Coat Paint collection. £30 Shop Coat Reverie light earthy pink paint £30 Shop 5. Make the most of every surface Hooks, racks, and bins on cupboard doors are hidden helpers that lighten the load (I've secretly been using the kids' hooks from H&M Home for ages). If you're looking for a chicer aesthetic, try the resin and gold multipurpose versions from Oliver Bonas. Oliver Bonas wall hooks £45 Shop Next Dibor wire storage rack £38 Shop 6. Build it in Built-ins or wall nooks can add storage without taking up extra floor space. In kitchens or entryways, even a slim floating shelf can make a big difference. The ultra-cute floating bedside table shelf from Matilda Goad will earn you serious style points. Dunelm corner ladder shelf £89 Shop

Why it's not OK to speculate if someone's pregnant
TV and radio presenter Vick Hope, 35, has sparked pregnancy speculation after posting on social media yesterday. Hope, 35, who is married to DJ Calvin Harris, 41, shared a video from a press junket on her Instagram Stories, and fans were quick to point out that it appeared to show her cradling a bump. The Radio 1 star also shared a series of photos showing work she'd done recently, including hosting a Poetry Slam. In some of the pictures, she appeared to have a rounded stomach, leading fans and celebrity friends to send congratulatory messages. Lisa Snowdon wrote, "Congratulations darling. So happy for you both" and Elizabeth Day said: "Congratulations. You look RADIANT AF." Hope, who previously shot down pregnancy speculation in 2024, has yet to publicly comment on the rumours. However, whether she's pregnant or not, until she decides to officially confirm it, it's really none of our business. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Vick Hope (@vicknhope) Many women will have experienced questions such as "oh are you pregnant?" if we refuse an alcoholic drink or feel ill at work. We may even have asked the question ourselves. But talking about someone's health and body is intensely private and you never know what's happening behind closed doors. In 2022, model Chrissy Teigen posted on social media saying, "I humbly beg you to stop asking if I'm pregnant". Explaining she was undergoing IVF, which was causing bloating, Teigen continued, "I know it's said with excited, good intentions, it just kind of sucks to hear because I am the opposite of pregnant!". Other celebrities who have been the victim of pregnancy rumours include Michelle Keegan and Jennifer Aniston. In a 2022 interview with Allure magazine, actress Aniston explained that she spent her 30s and 40s trying to get pregnant while under media scrutiny. "All the years and years of speculation... It was really hard," she said. "I was going through IVF, drinking Chinese teas, you name it." View this post on Instagram A post shared by chrissy teigen (@chrissyteigen) Keegan, who recently gave birth to her first child, daughter Palma, has also spoken about constant questions on starting a family. "I'm used to people asking me but it's no one else's business," she told You Magazine in 2021. "Nobody else knows what goes on behind closed doors. I think that's the reason that question affects me so much – it's very private!" The early stages of pregnancy can be a nervous and worrying time for many. Around one in eight pregnancies in the UK end in miscarriage, according to the NHS. And pregnancy and baby charity Tommy's says most miscarriages occur in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy. For this reason, many people wait until after their 12-week scan, which also checks the baby's development, to announce their pregnancy news. If someone has a history of baby loss, they could also be struggling with complicated feelings and not want to announce their pregnancy until a later stage. Trying for a baby can be a long and gruelling process for some people, both mentally and physically. And it can be hard for those struggling to get pregnant to hear others' announcements or be asked if they're having a child. Around 52,000 people had in vitro fertilisation (IVF) at licensed fertility centres in the UK in 2022. IVF, which involves injecting hormones into your body, can also have side effects such as mood changes, tiredness, nausea and fuller breasts – all of which can appear similar to some symptoms of pregnancy. So, while you may be wondering if someone's pregnant, actually they could be the opposite. There are many reasons someone could be showing signs many of us associate with pregnancy, such as weight gain, nausea, bloating or turning down alcohol. They could be side effects of medication, symptoms of other health issues, signs they're struggling with alcohol issues or their mental health, for example. With some 61% of adults in the UK saying they feel "negative" or "very negative" about their body image most of the time, comments or questions that make people feel their body has changed, they've put on weight or that people are paying close attention to their appearance can be upsetting. For some people, sharing their pregnancy news is an exciting pregnancy milestone. They may have a special way they want to announce it or be waiting until they've told their closest family first. By asking if they're pregnant, or speculating with others, you're taking that precious moment from them.

Billy Ray Cyrus and Elizabeth Hurley's dating lives after 'confirming' romance
Elizabeth Hurley and Billy Ray Cyrus have seemingly confirmed their relationship as they posed for a very cosy photo together over the Easter weekend. The British model, 59, has stunned fans after sharing a photo of herself sharing a kiss with the country music star, 63, while posing together in a grassy field. While some have been left seriously baffled by the connection between the pair, the new couple have known each other for several years, with Hurley and Cyrus co-starring in the 2022 film Christmas in Paradise. They appeared opposite Frasier star Kelsey Grammer, and played potential love interests in the movie. The Bedazzled actress also appeared to drop a hint when she shared a clip in a bikini from a tropical beach, set to Cyrus's She's Not Cryin' Anymore. Cyrus has had quite the turbulent love life, having recently divorced Australian singer Firerose, 36, just last year. Hurley has also had a string of headline-hitting romances in the past and several famous exes. Here we take a look back at both of their love lives through the years… Hurley's relationship with actor Hugh Grant lasted 13 years, with the pair remaining 'extremely good friends' since their split in 2000. The pair met back in 1987 on the set of Remando Al Viento, quickly becoming one of the biggest celebrity couples during Grant's huge rise to fame. In one of their most infamous moments, Hurley wore a black and gold cut-out Versace dress to accompany the actor to the London premiere of Four Weddings and a Funeral. During their relationship, Grant was arrested for 'lewd conduct' in public in 1995, after he was caught in a car with Hollywood sex worker Divine Brown. Speaking about the incident on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Grant said: 'I think you know in life what's a good thing to do and what's a bad thing, and I did a bad thing. And there you have it.' The pair split in 2000, but have remained close through the years, with Grant being the godfather to Hurley's only child Damian. Hurley told You Magazine in 2016: 'He will be my best friend for life. You can create fabulous new relationships but it will never be quite the same as that one. 'And Damian loves him very much. All my proper boyfriends, fiancés or husbands become my best friends and they all still are.' Liz went on to date multimillionaire Steve Bing for 18 months, with the pair welcoming son Damian together before their split in early 2002. Bing is reported to have initially denied he was the father until a DNA test determined the paternity. Bing was best known as the financier of movies like The Polar Express and Beowulf, and wrote the script for 2003's Kangaroo Jack, as well as being credited as a producer on films including Get Carter. The film producer was found dead at the base of a luxury apartment building in Century City, California, on Monday 22 June 2020. Paying tribute to her ex, Hurley shared on social media: 'I am saddened beyond belief that my ex Steve is no longer with us. It is a terrible end. Our time together was very happy and I'm posting these pictures because although we went through some tough times, it's the good, wonderful memories of a sweet, kind man that matter. 'In the past year we had become close again. We last spoke on our son's 18th birthday. This is devastating news and I thank everyone for their lovely messages.' Hurley began dating multimillionaire Arun Nayar in late 2002. They went on to marry in two lavish ceremonies held in 2007, a civil service in an English castle and then a traditional Hindu ceremony in India. In December 2010, Hurley announced that she and Nayar had separated several months earlier. Hurley filed for divorce on 2 April 2011. Hurley went on to date former Australian cricketer Shane Warne. The pair became engaged, before eventually splitting in 2013. Hurley and Warne stayed good friends despite their split, and he branded their relationship as the 'happiest time of his life'. He said: 'When we were together we both had a great time. Unfortunately it didn't work out. It wasn't something that she or I did wrong, it just fizzled out. 'We're still great friends, we still stay in touch, we're good for each other and our kids get along great.' Warne tragically died of a heart attack at the age of 52 in March 2022 while staying at a luxury villa on the island of Koh Samui in Thailand. Reflecting on his death, Hurley told the Telegraph: 'We have suffered loss. It was appalling losing Shane; it was a terrible thing. And it's a sadness, you know, that stays with you a long time.' Cyrus was married to Cindy Smith from 1986 until they divorced in 1991. The pair met at a bar in Ohio before he found fame after she became a regular at his shows. Cyrus and Smith co-wrote the songs Wher'm I Gonna Live? and Some Gave All. He later reflected on the marriage in his 2013 memoir Hillbilly Heart, calling it a 'nonstop party.' In 1992, Cyrus became the father of two children with different women: a son, Christopher Cody Cyrus, born to waitress Kristin Luckey, and his now-famous daughter Miley, born to Tish Finley. Billy Ray and Tish tied the knot in 1993 and after their marriage, Billy adopted Tish's two children — Brandi and Trace — from a previous marriage. During their marriage the pair welcomed daughter Miley, son Braison and daughter Noah in 1992, 1994 and 2000, respectively. Tish initially filed for divorce from Billy Ray in June 2013, but the pair reconciled their relationship. 'We both woke up and realised we love each other and decided we want to stay together. We both went into couples therapy, something we haven't done in 22 years of being together, and it's brought us closer together and really opened up our communication in amazing ways,' Billy Ray's rep said in a statement at the time. Tish refiled for divorce in 2022. The pair settled later that year. Cyrus got engaged to Australian singer Firerose just a few months after his divorce from Tish was finalised. The pair tied the knot in October 2023. More Trending A feud between Miley and her dad has been rumoured since the relationship began, with the Grammy-winning Flowers singer appearing to skip her dad's wedding. After a seven-month-long marriage, the pair finalised their divorce in 2024. Painting a picture of their relationship, Firerose claimed Cyrus 'love bombed' her when they began seeing each other during the Covid-19 pandemic and as things between them progressed, she 'became very introverted.'
