It’s the ideal piece to wear over the spring but shoppers must be fast as the dress is expected to be a big hit.

Boho style has never really disappeared since its first trend in the 60s and 70s as it was inspired by the hippie movement’s iconic fashion.

But the style has continued to be beloved by fashion fans ever since.

Boho fashion includes loose, flowing fabrics, bold and vibrant patterns, earthy tones, layering and stand-out silhouettes.

The Gallery Stella Boho Belted Midi Dress will only set you back €40.

It also features a flattering belt, long sleeves and a v-neckline.

And the dress comes in rust and in sizes 8 to 20.

You can embrace the boho chic style with this new dress, blending romanticism, comfort and originality in a single piece.

Dunnes Stores fans are urged to act swiftly as it is selling out fast due to its popularity.

Meanwhile, fashion fans have been sent into a frenzy over the new must-have addition that has landed on the racks at Dunnes Stores – and it’s perfect for spring.

As spring begins to inch closer after the rainy days, many fashion lovers are set to overhaul their wardrobes with new styles and clothes.

The new Savida City Girl Bow Tie Blouse is priced at €30.

It is crafted from soft cotton and some elastane, making it look luxurious and beautiful.

It features a feminine look with an oversized ruffled collar and three bow ties at the front.

Why police were called to first Dunnes Stores opening

BETWEEN the weekly food shops and bargain fashion - Dunnes Stores is a staple retailer in Irish households.

But this wasn’t always the case, and when the initial branch of the shop opened its doors in 1944 it caused quite the stir 

On March 31 of the year, Ben Dunne opened the first ever Dunnes Stores on St Patrick’s Street in Co Cork

Locals quickly learned of the grand opening and flooded into the store in what the retailer’s archives recall as a “shopping frenzy.”

The bargain clothing on sale inside the new store at “pre-war prices” was one of the factors cited for the buzz. 

During the chaos a window was forced in and Gardai were called to the scene. 

Cops worked to deal with the eager crowds and keep shoppers calm and safe before they made it into the store for their first Dunnes experience.

Fast forward some 80 years, the business now employs over 18,000 people and although an opening of a Dunnes branch hasn’t caused quite as much stir since the very first one, it has cemented its place as one of the nation’s leading retailers

Dunnes Stores now has 138 stores across Europe:

  • 118 in the Republic of Ireland,
  • 15 in Northern Ireland
  • Five stores in Spain

The blouse is the perfect wardrobe staple to have as it can be seamlessly matched with any clothes – from smart casual to formal.

Dunnes Stores said it’s perfect to be “worn with your favourite denim jeans”.

For smart casual, the outfit can be completed with jeans, a light jacket, flats or runners and a handbag – perfect for coffee dates with the girls.

For a formal look, you can complete it with black work pants, heels or flats, a cardigan, a long coat and a handbag – making it classy.

It can also be worn during the summer season; style the blouse with a gorgeous pair of denim shorts, sandals, a sunhat and sunglasses – the perfect outfit for Southern Europe.

Kiss ruined happiest day of my life, Spain World Cup star Jenni Hermoso tells Luis Rubiales as sex assault trial begins

SPAIN’s World Cup winner Jenni Hermoso has told a court that former football chief Luis Rubiales’ forced kiss “stained one of the happiest days of my life.”

Hermoso, 34, was the first witness to appear at a court in Madrid as Rubiales’ sexual assault trial began on Monday.

Rubiales, 47, is accused of sexual assault and coercion over the kiss he planted on Hermoso at the 2023 Women’s World Cup final in Sydney, where Spain defeated England.

The former Spanish FA boss, who initially refused to resign and dismissed the controversy as a “witch hunt by fake feminism,” faces up to two and a half years in prison if convicted.

Rubiales has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing, insisting the kiss was a “peck between friends celebrating.”

Taking the stand at Madrid’s Audiencia Nacional court, Hermoso described how Rubiales grabbed her head and kissed her without consent.

“I didn’t hear or understand anything,” she told the court.

“The next thing he did was to grab me by the ears and kiss me on the mouth.

“I felt it was totally out of place and I then realised my boss was kissing me, and this shouldn’t happen in any social or work setting.

“A kiss on the lips is only given when I decide so.”

She added: “As a woman I felt disrespected. It was a moment that stained one of the happiest days of my life.”

Hermoso said the pressure campaign left her fearful for her safety, forcing her to leave Madrid.

“From the first moment I reached Spain I had cameras after me 24 hours, people following me, people taking photos while I was having breakfast with my family. I had to leave Madrid with my family,” she said.

“I felt fear at times of being in the street. I received death threats and messages of all types and we had to leave Madrid because the situation was unbearable.

“It was a change in my life and I still say my life changed from that minute.”

‘A statement I hadn’t written’

The court also heard that just hours after the kiss, Rubiales and his aides allegedly pressured Hermoso to declare it was consensual to contain the growing backlash.

She was called off the team bus at Sydney’s stadium and shown a statement she was expected to sign.

Hermoso recalled breaking down in tears as pressure mounted on her to publicly downplay the incident.

The Spanish footballer told the court:  “I skim-read it and said and knew I hadn’t written a word of it.

“It was a statement I had supposedly drafted myself and consented to being put out to fan the flames of the fuss that was being created by the kiss.

“The statement said Luis Rubiales and I were good friends and the kiss happened in the effusiveness of the moment. I said I didn’t agree to it going out.”

On the flight back to Spain, Rubiales allegedly approached Hermoso personally, pleading with her to back him publicly.

“He told me, ‘Please, my two daughters are in the back of the plane crying,’” she said, adding that she refused.

Ex-national team coach Jorge Vilda — one of Rubiales’ co-defendants — then allegedly approached Hermoso’s brother, warning him that her football career could suffer if she did not comply.

“I felt totally unprotected in what should have been a safe place for me,” Hermoso said.

“No one asked me if I needed anything. The only thing Rubiales and his aides did was try to protect their reputation.”

Spain’s #MeToo moment

The scandal overshadowed Spain’s first-ever Women’s World Cup triumph and became a tipping point for sexism in Spanish sport.

The hashtag #SeAcabó (It’s Over) flooded social media, with Hermoso and 80 other players going on strike until federation leadership changed.

FIFA suspended Rubiales, who eventually resigned in September 2023.

The incident also sparked national soul-searching over sexual misconduct in Spain.

The country had only recently toughened its sexual assault laws following the notorious ‘La Manada’ (Wolf Pack) gang rape case in 2016.

‘A peck between friends’

Rubiales continues to deny wrongdoing, insisting the kiss was a “peck between friends” and his downfall was driven by “fake feminism”.

His daughters, two of whom were on the team’s flight home, will testify in his defense next Monday.

Former coach Jorge Vilda, ex-federation sporting director Albert Luque, and marketing director Rubén Rivera also face coercion charges and potential 18-month sentences.

The trial is set to run until February 19, with high-profile witnesses, including Ballon d’Or winner Alexia Putellas and Spain manager Luis de la Fuente, expected to testify.

Rubiales, if convicted, could receive a suspended sentence as first-time offenders in Spain rarely serve time for prison terms under two years.

Prosecutors are also seeking €100,000 (£83,000) in damages for Hermoso.

A verdict is expected by the end of the month at the earliest.

‘It’s crazy’ – Jude Bellingham’s girlfriend’s ex responds to rumours she cheated on him with Real Madrid ace

JUDE BELLINGHAM’S girlfriend Ashlyn Castro has been defended by her NBA star ex amid cheating allegations.

Earlier this month it emerged that the Real Madrid superstar, 21, has been seeing American influencer Ashlyn, 21.

The smitten pair have been spotted going on dates in the Spanish capital, while Ashlyn is said to have watched a Real Madrid game alongside Bellingham’s parents.

Ashlyn has previously been linked with actor Michael B. Jordan and NBA All-Star LaMelo Ball.

Prior to Bellingham, she dated Los Angeles Clippers star Terance Mann.

Instagram gossip page Game, Set and Match claim that Ashlyn has faced unfounded accusations of seeing Bellingham before her relationship with Mann had ended.

The Clippers star himself has now shot down these claims, leaping to his ex’s defence.

Mann, 28, said on TikTok Live: “Ashlyn is cool, people. I don’t know why everybody is on her head about anything. She’s cool. Me and Ash are cool.

“We haven’t been together for a long, long time. She’s doing her thing. Let her do her thing. 90 per cent of the stuff I see on the internet about Ash is false. It’s crazy.

“Let her live, let her do her thing, let her be herself. When I met Ash, she had her own stuff, had her own money, her own wave.

“We met through a friend. There wasn’t no… she wasn’t out here trying to see who I was or do any of that.

“Y’all just on her back, on her body about nothing. Y’all mad that she what? Like c’mon.

“She ain’t do nothing, she’s cool. She ain’t no gold digger.

“Y’all just doing too damn much. No, she did not cheat. We haven’t been together in… I don’t know how long. So calm that narrative down.

“You could let that go. And that’s that on that!”

Ashlyn has more than 230,000 Instagram followers and 50,000 on TikTok.

Bellingham, meanwhile, was previously linked with Dutch model Laura Celia Valk.

However, she recently confirmed that she is single during a recent Q&A.

Kanye West grabs wife Bianca Censori’s naked bum as she parties in thong bodysuit after naked Grammys dress

KANYE West certainly caused a stir at this year’s Grammys, and his antics didn’t stop there.

The rapper, 47, was later spotted grabbing his wife Bianca Censori’s naked bum as they partied after her nude dress red carpet fiasco.

Just hours earlier, Bianca, 30, shocked onlookers at the prestigious Hollywood event by wearing nothing but a sheer dress over her naked body.

A source later told The U.S. Sun that she and Kanye were “both kicked out” of the A-list event in Los Angeles.

But it looks like this didn’t stop the couple having fun.

Kanye later hosted his own after-party with pal Justin LaBoy at a former market in East Los Angeles.

The rapper and his wife were then seen grinding on each other.

Dressed in slightly more than she had been earlier in the day, Bianca’s peachy bum was on display.

Kanye wasted no time in giving her behind a squeeze as they danced together.

The steamy display left onlookers with their jaws open, as the couple acted like no one else was in the room.

Meanwhile, a lip-reader has analyzed TikTok footage of Kanye and Bianca talking at the side of the red carpet moments before she ditched her fur coat to reveal all.

And she believes the rapper was behind the nude stunt.

Nicola Hickling, the founder and lead analyst at LipReader, told MailOnline that Kanye said to Bianca: “You’re making a scene now.

“Make a scene, I’ll say it’ll make so much sense.”

The Australian model can be seen nodding her head in the viral TikTok clip as her husband speaks quietly to her.

According to Nicola, he then told his wife: “Drop it behind you and then turn, I got you.”

Nicola believes Bianca replied: “Alright let’s go.”

This year’s Grammy Awards was held at the Crypto.com Arena in LA last night.

Bianca arrived at the event in a black fur coat and headed straight to the red carpet with Kanye.

She then slowly removed her coat from behind to reveal her bare butt before turning around to face photographers.

Bianca’s bare chest and private parts were fully exposed, as just the completely see-through piece of fabric covered her body.

Kanye stood next to his wife in an all-black outfit and sunglasses.

KICKED OUT

But it looks like the couple’s stunt didn’t go down well with Grammy bosses.

The U.S. Sun revealed how Kanye and Bianca were later told to leave the awards ceremony.

The source said: “Kanye and Bianca were not believed to have been officially invited to the Grammys. They’ve both since been kicked out.”

However, a second source close to Kanye insisted they “absolutely had tickets” as he was nominated for Best Rap Song and only ever planned to get photographed with Bianca and leave.

Kanye was reportedly seen being escorted out by police after walking the red carpet, leading many to believe it was because of Bianca’s choice of clothing, or lack thereof.

A third insider told The U.S. Sun: “He doesn’t care [that he was kicked out]. He went to get photographed on the carpet and is now having a watch party.”

Bianca Censori and Kanye West's relationship

Bianca Censori was born on January 5, 1995, in Melbourne, Australia

Before her current full-time job, the 29-year-old started a jewelry company called Nylons after leaving high school.

After working as a student architect for three years, she completed a master’s degree between 2019 and 2020 ahead of moving to Los Angeles.

In a radio interview, a childhood friend of Bianca’s claimed that Kanye slid into her DMs on Instagram.

The rapper reportedly said, “Come and work for me.”

At which point she says the designer moved to LA to join his company Yeezy as the “head of architecture” – and has been since November 2020.

WEDDING BELLS

On Friday, October 6, 2023, The Daily Mail reported Kanye and Bianca wed on December 20, 2022.

The couple tied the knot under a “confidential marriage license” in the state of California.

The two wed in Palo Alto, California, according to the document.

The wedding came just one month after Kanye and Kim Kardashian finalized their divorce.

Bonnie Blue slammed for putting 1,056 men at risk as first she slept with on record-breaking day DIDN’T wear a condom

BONNIE Blue has been slammed for putting 1,056 men at risk after revealing the first she slept with in 12 hours didn’t wear protection.

The OnlyFans star claimed she’d broken the record last month by having sex with the staggering amount of men, who’d queued for hours to get their few minutes with her.

But now, in a shocking new interview, Bonnie has admitted that the very first man in the queue didn’t wear a condom when they had sex.

She made the situation even worse by insisting it’s “normal” for men to sometimes forget to put on protection as they get caught up in the moment.

“Number one out of 1057 went in raw,” she told documentary maker Lee Spooner as they laid in bed together in the video shared on Instagram.

Bonnie explained that she had six other men in front of her who were keeping her “hands and mouth busy”, and when she turned around, she realised the man behind her wasn’t “wrapped up”.

“But I think like when you’re in the moment, from the guy’s perspective and they’re getting excited, they just sort of forget – which is like completely normal.”

She also said the man’s failure to wear protection was probably down to the fact “most of them never usually wear” one.

“So it’s not like an instant, ‘I’m about to go inside, let me wrap up’.”

As the interview was shared on Instagram, the comments section was immediately filled with people slamming the 25-year-old for being “irresponsible” in calling the man’s lack of condom “normal”.

“Forget to wear a condom normal?!? No absolutely not,” one raged, as another called it “pure idiocy”.

“I think it’s very unhealthy that you are almost promoting the fact it is normal to ‘forget’ to wear protection when sleeping with a stranger!!” a third wrote.

“You need to give your head a good wobble.”

“Not respecting your rules is definitely not normal,” someone else agreed.

“Let’s not normalise the lack of consent.”

“NOTHING ABOUT THIS SITUATION IS NORMAL!!” another insisted.

“This woman is vile,” someone else said.

“This is soooooooo wrong,” another wrote, as someone else called Bonnie a “human petri dish”.

Who is Bonnie Blue?

Born in May 1999, Bonnie – whose real name is Tia Billinger – grew up in a small Derbyshire village, and attended the Friesland School in the village of Sandiacre.

She has two half-siblings – a sister and a brother – who have always remained out of the public eye.

She never knew her biological father, and considers stepfather Nicholas Elliott her dad.

Bonnie also became something of a dance star in her local area, and competed in the British Street Dance Championships alongside her sister back in 2015.

She also had a part-time job at Poundstretcher as a teenager.

After school, she began working in recruitment.

In October 2022, Bonnie married Oliver Davidson, who she had started dating when she was just 15.

Once they were married, they moved to Australia, where Bonnie continued working in recruitment.

However, it was in Australia that she decided to pursue a different line of work, and tried her luck as a ‘cam girl’ – crediting Oliver for giving her the confidence to enter the adult entertainment world.

She quickly made a name for herself in the industry, and was soon making £5,000 a week.

But while her work life was going from strength to strength, her relationship was crumbling, and she and Oliver split after almost a decade together.

She moved over to OnlyFans following her cam girl success, and once again found fame on there.

She quickly became a favourite on the site, especially thanks to her “niche” of sleeping with young male students – such as when she bedded 158 students during Nottingham Trent University’s freshers week in September 2024.

Bonnie is now estimated to be worth £3 million, and makes around £600,000 a month on OnlyFans.

Her family are also supportive of her work, with mum Sarah Billinger even claiming she’s her daughter’s PA, and helps clean up after Bonnie’s events – as well as handing out condoms to young clients.

In January 2025, Bonnie claimed to have broken the world record for the most amount of sex in 12 hours, after apparently sleeping with 1,057 men from 1pm to 1am at a secret London event.

“This is absolutely disgusting what she has done and the fact that our society has now normalised this is SICK!” someone else argued.

“I can’t even imagine the total after effects she has yet to go through from being exposed to 1057 different men…”

“1 in 5 guys have an STD,” another pointed out.

Statistically speaking, that means that 211 of the men Bonnie slept with that day could have had some kind of sexually transmitted disease or infection.

Bonnie previously insisted she’s never had an STI, but said she is “aware of the risks” in doing what she does.

“I’m aware that with the amount of people I am sleeping with, I need to be tested regularly. I’m aware of the risks,” she said.

She even claimed that she’s willing to chance contracting HIV – a life-changing illness – in the name of her work, as she added: “HIV is the big one and I still choose to do it.

“I’m happy to risk the things I risk to do.”

But many fans thought an Ant was not an animal[/caption]

It sees 100 contestants compete for a £100,000 prize pot by answering 15 logic-inspired questions that get progressively harder.

It kicks off with a question which 90 per cent of the population polled got right.

It then goes on to ask questions which smaller and smaller percentages of the country got right, culminating with a 1% question.

In the latest episode, the contestants faced a baffling animal-related question: “Without reordering any letters, how many animals appear in the sequence below?”

The question included the jumbled word “PHEASANTORTOISEALION”.

Viewers attempted to answer the question on social media but fans were divided on what constituted the correct answer.

The official verdict was six animals – pheasant, sealion, ant, seal, tortoise, and lion – though there was contention over classifying an ant as an animal, reports the Mirror.

One viewer said: “#The1PercentClub An ant is NOT an animal! Outrage!”

Another added: “Pheasant is a bird, ant is an insect, seal and sealion are mammals, so the correct answer should be 2 (lion and tortoise).

“If the question was ‘how many creatures…’ then it’s 6. Bad question wording #The1PercentClub”

Another wrote: “#The1PercentClub An ant is an insect not an animal!”,

“Ant is an insect.. #The1PercentClub…” agreed another.

But other viewers disagreed and said: “The amount of people on the hashtag saying an ant isn’t an animal… #The1PercentClub.”

“To all those saying otherwise. Yes an ant is an animal. All insects are. #The1PercentClub”, added another.

Hardest Quiz Show Questions

Would you know the answers to some of quizzing TV's hardest questions

  • Who Wants To Be A Millionaire – Earlier this year, fans were left outraged after what they described as the “worst” question in the show’s history. Host Jeremy Clarkson asked: “From the 2000 awards ceremony onwards, the Best Actress Oscar has never been won by a woman whose surname begins with which one of these letters?” The multiple choice answers were between G, K, M and W. In the end, and with the £32,000 safe, player Glen had to make a guess and went for G. It turned out to be correct as Nicole Kidman, Frances McDormand and Kate Winslet are among the stars who have won the Best Actress gong since 2000. 
  • The 1% Club – Viewers of Lee Mack’s popular ITV show were left dumbfounded by a question that also left the players perplexed. The query went as follows: “Edna’s birthday is on the 6th of April and Jen’s birthday falls on the 15th of October, therefore Amir’s birthday must be the ‘X’ of January.” It turns out the conundrum links the numbers with its position in the sentence, so 6th is the sixth word and 15th is the fifteenth word. Therefore, Amir’s birthday is January 24th, corresponding to the 24th word in the sentence.
  • The Chase – The ITV daytime favourite left fans scratching their heads when it threw up one of the most bizarre questions to ever grace the programme. One of the questions asked the player: “Someone with a nightshade intolerance should avoid eating what?” The options were – sweetcorn, potatoes, carrots – with Steve selecting sweetcorn but the correct answer was potatoes.

“Insects are animals” agreed another viewer.

“Yes, ants are animals! As all insects, they are arthropods (along with spiders, crustaceans, centipedes and millipedes). A lot of people need a visit to the Natural History Museum!” ranted another.

Later in the show, five contestants were left, vying to answer the final 1% Club question correctly.

They were given a choice of taking £10k home, which would see them all walk away with £2,000 or take on the question.

One player called Christoper decided to take his share and bow out, while the rest played on.

The rest were asked: “The words below share a specific pattern. Why could VOTING also be part of the group?'”

The words listed were Bandleader, Nickelodeo and Silverback.

Only one contestant attempted to answer the question but they got it wrong, meaning nobody took home cash.

Host Lee, 56, revealed that each word contained a metal – including lead, nickel, silver and tin.

ITV viewers at home branded the question the ‘easiest ever’ and flooded social media with comments.

One said: “That was the easiest 1% question I can remember. Thought it must be wrong as it couldn’t be that easy. Amazed not one of them had a clue.”

A second wrote: “Got this within five seconds was far too easy with silver and nickel as the start of the words and tin being the only other word in voting.”

“My 12-year-old got this. Metals in the words,” said a third.

While a fourth posted: “That seemed a pretty easy 1% Question to me?!”

The 1% Club airs on ITV1 and is available to stream on ITVX.
