HELLO! recommends Marks & Spencer bodysuits as a cooler, less restrictive alternative to structured bras during a heatwave. Stylist Karen Williams favors the £12 Light Control Seamless Shaping Body for its soft fit, light support, moisture-wicking fabric and Cool Comfort technology, while the £25 Body Sculpt Seamless High Leg Shaping Body offers firmer compression for smoothing the waist and tummy.

Lauren Ramsay presents nine ways to dress between summer and autumn, emphasizing creative layering rather than a complete wardrobe overhaul. Suggested looks include scarves over co-ords, blazers with capri pants, darker layers with white trousers, sporty pieces, red accents, maxi and funnel-neck trench coats, and Bermuda-short sets. The article pairs influencer-inspired outfits with affordable shopping suggestions from brands including Mango, Zara, Bershka, ASOS and Marks & Spencer.

The feature highlights the best-dressed guests at the 2026 Qatar Goodwood Festival, including Lydia Millen, Gemma Owen, Leonora Smee and Francesca Cumani. It explains the distinctions between Goodwood’s summer events and outlines the varying dress codes for the Richmond, Gordon and Lennox enclosures, while showcasing floral dresses, tailored separates, hats, gloves and statement accessories worn at the horse-racing meeting.

Blush blonde is presented as a softer, warmer alternative to icy blonde, balayage and beach-blonde coloring. The look combines mink-mauve, hazy-pink, rosy, peach and champagne undertones around the face and crown to add warmth, dimension and light reflection without appearing vividly pink. Elena Lavagni of Neville Hair & Beauty says the targeted placement reduces regrowth, salon visits and damage compared with all-over bleaching. The technique begins with lightening the hair to a pale or soft blonde before adding pastel tonal highlights.

A revived Y2K-inspired trend featuring lace longline tops layered over trousers is gaining popularity, offering a more refined and elegant take on early 2000s dress‑over‑jeans styling. Social media traction has prompted both high‑street and designer brands to release lace‑focused pieces, with options highlighted across a range of price points and silhouettes suited for summer, holidays, and evening wear.
