Dubbed the 'slashkini', the cut-out swimsuit is shaping up to be the celebrity costume du jour - just ask Millie Mackintosh, Nadia Forde (inset) and Vogue Williams, who have all rocked the statement piece. FEMAIL's Deni Kirkova, 25, went to sunny Brighton to try it out, armed with a £35 offering from Lipsy.

Jenson Button and his model wife Jessica Michibata were GASSED by burglars who broke into their St Tropez villa and stole her £250,000 diamond engagement ring while they were out cold
Jenson Button and his wife Jessica Michibata (pictured together) were gassed at their luxury French villa as robbers looted the house and stole belongings worth £300,000. The couple - who had been asleep - lay unconscious in bed as the burglars rifled through the rented St Tropez home, taking items including 30-year-old Jessica's £250,000 engagement ring (pictured top right). French police believe the gang had been watching the villa for days before letting off a cannister of anaesthetic gas into an air-conditioning vent. The raiders then broke into the luxury mansion and even walked around the couple's bed. Pictured bottom right, file image of St Tropez.

Never before seen photos of The Beatles hamming it up by the pool at British actor Reginald Owen's Bel Air mansion...where they stayed because their hotel wouldn't host them for fear of being swarmed by fans
They were renowned for their playfulness. And these photographs, revealed for the first time, show The Beatles at their cheeky best, hamming it up by the pool in Los Angeles, California, with British actor Reginald Owen. It is 1964, and John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and George Harrison are in town for their historic show at the Hollywood Bowl, which was recorded and later released as a hit live album. Had everything gone to plan, they would be confined to their suite in The Ambassador Hotel preparing for the gig. But at the last minute their reservation was cancelled because management could not cope with the scale of swarming fans. Luckily for The Beatles, Reginald Owen offered up his Bel Air mansion for just $1,000.

Shocking video shows terrified women surrounded by jeering men as they walk along promenade in Saudi Arabia... where THEY have been blamed for 'provoking' the men despite wearing burkha and face veils
In the minute-long video, the two young women - dressed in traditional burkhas and face veils - become visibly distressed as they are harassed and intimidated by the men. The clip recently went viral in the country and sparked public outrage, prompting a police investigation which reportedly led to six boys being detained and questioned. But shockingly, the women are now being blamed for 'provoking' the primal reaction from the crowd by being 'indecent'. The outlandish claim is being supported by the emergence of a new video supposedly taken from the scene, which has been shown on semi-official news channels. The second video purports to show the same women riding a quad-bike to the promenade, with one of them tossing their agal towards the men in a 'seductive and tempting' manner.An agal is the black rope worn by Saudi men over their traditional checkered head cloths. Thanks to the emergence of this new video, the women were no longer seen as victims by viewers in Saudi Arabia and were accused of provoking the men.
