Why Primark is great for looking expensive on a budget By Clemmie Fieldsend, Fabulous Fashion Editor AS someone who's no stranger to grabbing a last-minute outfit from Primark for a night out, it's about time that celebrities started catching on too. For as long as I've been heading out, Primark has been my go-to for those 'I have nothing to wear' moments, rushing in at the last minute to find something perfect. And I'm definitely not alone - on any Friday or Saturday night, you'll find plenty of shoppers doing the same thing, right before closing time. But no matter what, Primark always delivers. Now, Rita Ora is leading the charge, showing that you can snag a designer-worthy look without spending a fortune at high-end stores. While Rita's not rushing in last minute for a red carpet outfit, she's proving you can achieve the same high-impact style for much less. Looking stunning in her tailored suit alongside her mum Vera, Rita fit right in among the other A-listers dripping in Prada, Dior, and Victoria Beckham - if anything, she looked even better than some of the guests at The Fashion Awards. With Myleene Klass and Roxy Horner already jumping on the Primark bandwagon, I'm sure more stars will be following suit soon enough.

Amy Dowden stuns in a bikini one year after getting cancer all clear
Amy Dowden looked stunning as she shared a bikini snap from her Dubai holiday this week, one year after she was given the all clear following a breast cancer battle. Amy Dowden is enjoying some well deserved R&R with a bank holiday trip to Dubai this week and has been sharing a myriad of sun-soaked snaps. Lapping up the good weather, the Strictly Come Dancing star, 34, looked stunning on Tuesday as she donned a white patterned bikini, pulling her hair back into and adding a pair of brown sunglasses to complete the look. Sharing a mirror snap to her Instagram Stories in the two-piece, Amy showed off her toned physique and wrote: "Love this set I found the other day from @primark". Amy and her husband of three years Benjamin Jones are enjoying some quality time on the trip and have been staying in the lavish JA Palm Tree Court, a five-star hotel on Dubai's beachfront. Updating her 708K Instagram followers, Amy shared a picture with her husband as they headed out for dinner on Monday to kick off the trip. She wrote: "We are in full holiday mode! Life has been crazy busy for us both this year. Super grateful for all the opportunities but have so been looking forward to getting away for some quality time together and of course some sun". The holiday comes a year after Amy was given the all clear from doctors after a harrowing battle with breast cancer, which began in 2023. Just a day before her dream honeymoon in April that year, the dancer felt a lump in her right breast while showering. After returning home, Amy went to the GP for a series of tests and was given the devastating news that she had grade 3 breast cancer. The Strictly Come Dancing favourite underwent chemotherapy and a mastectomy, leading her to step back from her role on the BBC dance show. However, her luck took a turn for the better when she was given the all-clear in February 2024. Sharing the news to social media at the time, Amy shared a snap of herself beaming with joy with her arms in the air and said: "NO EVIDENCE OF DISEASE! Words I dreamed of! My biggest accomplishment yet! I won't be getting the all-clear for 5 years especially with a hormone fed cancer. But it was all worth it. Words I never thought I'd hear at one point. "So grateful for all the care I received and continue to have. To my husband, family and friends who supported me unconditionally and to you guys! Thank you! I will still need a monthly injection for 5 years and regular check ups. Chemo and this past year has certainly took its toll on my body both physically and mentally, so I'll be taking the next few months to heal and recover."Amy continued: "I have so much to strive and live for, and so grateful for another chance at life! Something I know not all get. I certainly see life differently and my life has changed forever! Cancer affects too many so I will continue to do all I can to raise awareness and make sure I get as many as I can to #checkthemselves."It's time to look ahead after what's been the toughest year, and one I certainly didn't expect!"
