DUNNES Stores fans are rushing to buy new skinny jeans that are “designed to slim the tummy” for casual days.
The High Rise Skinny Sculpt Jeans are available in stores and online now.
They are priced at just €20 and come in sizes 8 to 22.
The retailer said: “These high-rise skinny jeans are designed to slim the tummy and contour your curves.
“They are crafted from a stretchy, cotton-rich denim that offers support and control.”
The jeans can be styled with just about anything from t-shirts to fancier tops for a night out.
Dunnes Stores has styled the jeans with a denim shirt and a striped top.
Meanwhile, shoppers are scrambling to get their hands on a “viral suit” – and all the major high street shops have released their own version.
The suits generally consist of a stretch long-sleeved top and stretch leggings.
A fashion blogger told how Penneys has dropped the look for a bargain €20.
Amy, who posts under @balancebyamy, took to Instagram to show off her casual outfit.
She said: “I just thought I’d quickly show you, before I head off to work, this little two-piece I bought at Penneys yesterday.
“I have seen these going viral on TikTok in Dunnes and Zara.
“But in Dunnes Stores they are €40, and in Zara…
“I’m actually not sure how much they are, probably €50 or €60 or something. Penneys is €20.”
The TikToker explained there’s some slight difference in each high street design.
She said: “I think the cardigan is slightly different from the one in Dunnes, but I just wanted it for casual wear.
“Now I am going to be wearing it to school.”
The cute cardigan has a v-neck and buttons down the centre.
Recreate the look with the Stretch Long Sleeve T-Shirt – costing just €4.50.
Penneys chiefs described it as a stretch tee with long sleeves and a shallow V-neck.
They said: “A classic piece for your day-to-day wardrobe, this top is looking to become your next go-to.
“In a black colourway, its minimal V-neckline offers a sophisticated take on this everyday style.
“With long sleeves providing fuller coverage, the stretch-infused fabric is designed to sit comfortably against your silhouette.
“Pair with a maxi skirt and pointed flats for a brunchtime look that you can wear through to evenings out with friends.”
DUNNES Stores opened its first store on Patrick Street in Cork in 1944 - and it was an instant hit.
Shoppers from all over the city rushed to the store to snap up quality clothing at pre-war prices in Ireland’s first ‘shopping frenzy’.
During the excitement, a window was forced in and the police had to be called to help control the crowds hoping to bag founder Ben Dunne’s ‘Better Value’ bargains.
Dunnes later opened more stores in the 1950s and began to sell groceries in 1960 – starting with apples and oranges.
The retailer said: “Fruit was expensive at the time and Ben Dunne yet again offered Better Value than anyone else in town.
“Over time, our food selection has grown and that spirit of good value has remained strong.
“Now we offer a wide range of carefully-sourced foods from both local Irish suppliers and overseas.”
The retailer’s first Dublin store opened its doors in 1957 on Henry Street and a super store on South Great Georges Street was unveiled in 1960.
They added: “In 1971, our first Northern Irish store opened, and many others soon followed.
“Expansion continued in the 1980s in Spain, and later into Scotland and England.”
Dunnes now has 142 stores and employs 15,000 people.
THE dangerous inmate who sliced a highly-regarded prison officer in a shocking attack has been transferred to Ireland’s maximum security jail in Portlaoise.
We have learned the young thug, aged in his 20s, will now face the strictest measures to ensure staff members’ safety.
The highly volatile lag launched a completely unprovoked attack on the officer on Sunday afternoon as he emerged from his cell on B-Base at Dublin’s Mountjoy.
The staff member suffered a deep wound from his lip to chin and underwent surgery following the incident.
The move of the prisoner responsible – who previously carried out two stabbings in Dublin – is set to be barrier handled when he comes into contact with prison officers.
Although he has not been arrested yet, it is expected that he will be charged over the horror assault with a homemade shiv.
A source told us: “There is resources and training in Portlaoise to deal with the likes of him.
“He will be barrier handled in there, so when he comes out of his cell there will be a number of staff who will wear full riot gear and have shields for their own protection.”
The prisoner had posed serious challenges in Mountjoy, having spent time in the Challenging Behaviour Unit.
He has almost 80 convictions including for threats to kill and other vile assaults.
The incident happened amid a weekend of chaos in the Dublin lock-up with other officers targeted.
One suffered injuries when he had a hot cup of tea thrown in his face.
While in the D Division, inmates have been smashing lights and swinging brushes at staff.
On Bank Holiday Monday, the jail was put on complete lock down as officers carried out a major operation to hit back.
The Irish Sun revealed how 30 phones and 5000 tablets were seized at the jail, along with crack cocaine and weapons.
Following the attack on their staff member, the Irish Prison Service said that “any act of violence against prison staff is unacceptable”.
Gardai confirmed a full investigation into the incident is underway.
LOTTIE Moss has broken down in tears while opening up about her failed stint in rehab.
The model and influencer, 27, began to cry as she admitted to her Bear Hunt co-stars that her stay in 2022 “didn’t work”.
Lottie even said she had been poised to return to rehab in another bid to get clean when she got offered her place on the Netflix show.
When asked why she went the first time around, Lottie – who is the younger sister of supermodel Kate Moss – told her fellow Bear Hunt comrades: “Drugs and depression.
“You become quite numb. I didn’t feel anything. I didn’t care if I lived or died.
“I would have run it into the ground to be honest and my mum said, ‘You need to go into rehab’.
“It made me feel better. But it didn’t really work.”
Broadcaster Steph McGovern asked Lottie: “What worked then?”
She told the group: “Nothing. I’m not going to lie to you guys, before coming in here I was about to go to rehab again.”
Lottie entered rehab in February 2022 shortly after it was revealed she had stripped nude on OnlyFans.
Last November, she suffered a seizure in hospital after taking the controversial weight loss drug Ozempic.
Lottie burst into tears, as her Bear Hunt co-stars rallied to comfort her.
Former Saturdays star Una Healy hugged the sobbing star tightly, as Strictly Come Dancing’s Shirley Ballas also rushed to her side.
In a confessional video, Lottie admitted to the Bear Hunt camera: “I think I’ve always come down on myself for making mistakes when I was younger.
“It’s taught me that I need to not punish myself. Most people make mistakes It’s actually okay.”
As the camera shot back to Lottie crying in camp over breakfast, Una told her: “You’re so lovely to be around.”
Shirley added: “I’m adopting you!”
The upset catwalk star hugged her new friends close and thanked them for their support.
Lottie is one of 12 famous faces who have signed up to Netflix’s Bear Hunt.
The show sees some of the UK’s biggest names fly to Costa Rica to take part in a slew of tough-challenges, all whilst hoping to evade the capture of explorer Bear Grylls.
In her streaming debut, Holly Willoughby hosts the show and she joined her co-stars at its official launch in London on Tuesday night.
Wearing a white ruffle dress, Lottie was among those at the launch before she headed to the afterparty in Soho.
She later emerged all smiles with a female pal before jumping into a cab and heading home.
All episodes of Bear Hunt are on Netflix now.
A DEAL to finally bring an NFL game to Croke Park could be announced as soon as this weekend with a match being planned for later this year.
The NFL and the GAA have been in talks to bring American football to Croker with negotiations now at an advanced stage.
Last May, the Irish Sun revealed that GAA President Jarlath Burns had travelled to Pittsburgh to meet with officials about bringing the Steelers to Croke Park for a match.
The Pittsburgh Steelers are owned by the Rooney family with former club President Dan Rooney previously serving as US Ambassador to Ireland under Barack Obama.
Dan Rooney has long campaigned for an annual NFL game in Ireland at Croke Park.
The Irish Sun understands that Sport Minister Patrick O’Donovan today updated the Cabinet on negotiations to bring American football to Croke Park.
Government sources said that a business case has been discussed between the Department of Sport and the NFL however, no deal has been signed yet.
It’s understood the GAA would like to hold the first American football game in September or October of this year with the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Green Bay Packers the likely line up.
This would be a full professional NFL league match similar to the games held in London every year.
The NFL are keen to expand the game here with hope that the Croke Park game would become an annual fixture in the football calendar.
While a deal is yet to be signed off, the Irish Sun understands that those involved in the discussions are hopeful of making an announcement this weekend ahead of the Super Bowl.
The Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles will fight it out in the Super Bowl on Sunday in what is one of the most watched sporting events in the world.
Ireland has never hosted an NFL game but the Aviva Stadium hosts college football once a year which is a regular sell-out and sees thousands of fans travel to the city.
The Steelers’ owners want to bring the NFL to Dublin with the Pittsburgh team previously playing a pre-season friendly in Croke Park in 1997.
EX-TAOISEACH Leo Varadkar could be asked to give evidence in court in a case that aims to block super junior ministers from attending Cabinet meetings.
The coalition’s four super junior ministers could be booted out of Cabinet if the new case from People Before Profit TD Paul Murphy is successful.
Fianna Fail’s Mary Butler, Fine Gael’s Hildegarde Naughton and Independent TDs Sean Canney and Noel Grealish were all appointed super junior ministers in this Government – more than ever before.
These super juniors sit at Cabinet meetings with senior ministers but do not have a vote.
The Constitution rules that a maximum of 15 Ministers can be part of the Cabinet.
In a column in the Sunday Times last month, former Taoiseach Leo Varadkar said that the super junior positions were a way for Governments to get around the rule in the Constitution.
Last week, Sinn Fein TD Pa Daly launched a High Court judicial review case which claimed that the four super junior ministerial positions are unconstitutional.
Now, People Before Profit TD Paul Murphy has launched a second legal case against the practice of junior ministers attending Cabinet.
The Dublin TD’s injunction case would block these ministers from attending the Cabinet and could be through the courts in a matter of months.
Deputy Murphy has taken a plenary action in the courts to seek the injunction which means that witnesses could be called to give evidence in the case.
He told the Irish Sun: “In a plenary action there will be oral evidence and crucially for us there will be the capacity to call witness and we can think of a number of people without getting into it who we would like to call as witnesses to explain where this super juniors came from and the rationale for it and to outline how from our perspective it is a stroke that is against the constitution.”
Pressed on whether he wants to call former Taoiseach Leo Varadkar to give evidence in the case on the back of his Sunday Times article, Deputy Murphy said: “Purely as a lay person yes what you are saying sounds like a good idea but I do need to talk to the lawyers about whether that legally makes sense.”
Deputy Murphy said that Varadkar’s article had “copper fastened” his decision to try to take the Government to court over the issue.
The People Before Profit TD claims the creation of the super junior positions is “stroke politics” created to “spread around the spoils of office”.
He said: “This speaks volumes about the approach of the government which is that ‘rules are not for us, they are for you and we will simply try to get around those rules’.
“We want to oppose the stroke politics of this government in every possible arena that we can and that’s why I initiated a plenary action in the High Court seeking an injunction preventing the super juniors from attending cabinet meetings and seeking an end to the extra allowances that they get paid.”
The use of super junior ministers has been part of the past several governments with Deputy Murphy saying he regrets not taking the legal case sooner as he confessed: “It’s better late than never”.
