River Island has just launched a new collection with Love Island star Samie Elishi, and there's one standout dress that has caught our eye
If there's one season where River Island truly shines, it's undeniably summer. With the retailer's website bursting with beautiful holiday dresses and on-trend festival picks ideal for jetting off to Ibiza, it's impossible to keep track of the pieces currently filling our ever-expanding wishlists.
Now, the retailer has launched an exciting new collaboration with Love Islander Samie Elishi — and there's one standout dress that's completely caught our attention. The piece in question is the £59 Beige Cowl Halter Matte Sequin Mini Dress , which effortlessly taps into the seashell-inspired trend that looks set to be enormous once again this summer.
Boasting a chic cowl neckline and a ruched silhouette that's tailor-made for beach clubs, warm summer evenings and festivals, we don't think it'll be long before this gorgeous number sells out entirely. Available in UK sizes 6-18, the dress pairs beautifully with heels for sunset dinners or a night out, while festival-goers could swap the mules for cowboy boots to achieve a more bohemian-inspired aesthetic.

The Cowl Halter Matte Sequin Mini Dress is far from the only showstopping piece in River Island's Samie Elishi collaboration, however, as the collection also features stunning swimwear and elegant co-ords.
River Island isn't the only high street name helping fans recreate their favourite celebrity looks either, as over at Next, This Morning viewers can channel presenter Rochelle Humes' style by browsing the star's curated edit. One standout item we've particularly admired is the versatile £65 Sand Cape Trench Coat , which adds polish to everyday ensembles, reports the Mirror . High street favourite Mango has also recently unveiled a collaboration with fashion IT girl, Hailey Bieber.
It features everything from layering pieces such as the £79.99 Oversized Cotton Jacket to evening wear like this £45.99 strapless dress with asymmetric frill detail . Returning to River Island, and our fashion team believe Samie's edit also looks set to fly off the shelves incredibly quickly. Scroll down to browse some of our top picks from the collection while they remain available, with prices beginning from £29.
Cape tops are enjoying a genuine moment in the fashion sphere, and this brown design could be layered over a bikini at a beach club or paired with a bralette and balloon trousers for evening wear. It is sheer, so some might prefer to add a vest top underneath for a touch more coverage. This incredibly chic playsuit appears far more expensive than its £46 price point.
Simple to dress down for daytime with sandals, it would translate equally well for evening with heels, chunky bangles and an oversized clutch. It is worth bearing in mind that those who prefer to wear a bra may find it more challenging to style, needing instead to opt for a strapless design to minimise its visibility. Those with a fondness for florals may want to take a look at this striking statement maxi skirt .
Ideal as a swimwear cover-up, it can equally be paired with an oversized t-shirt for a relaxed holiday ensemble. It's worth noting the design is also semi-sheer, so a slouchy longer top or fuller briefs underneath may be necessary when away from the beach. Fans of a co-ord will undoubtedly be delighted to discover that Samie's edit features this stylish sequin halter top , which can be bought alongside a matching skirt retailing at £42.
Available in UK sizes 6-18, its deeper tone lends itself beautifully to smarter occasions, and we particularly love that both pieces can be worn separately as well. We'd suggest pairing the skirt with a t-shirt and the halter with jeans when they're not being worn as a set. For those seeking something effortlessly versatile for everyday wear, look no further than these wallet-friendly wide leg trousers.
The elasticated waistband makes them wonderfully comfortable, while the satin fabric instantly adds a touch of sophistication. Available in one leg length only, they can be teamed with a variety of footwear to adjust how they sit. The metallic thread woven through this knitted mini dress gives it an instant lift, making it ideal for pool parties or festivals.
Although the frock may not suit everyone as it cannot be ironed or tumble dried, the longer sleeves provide welcome additional coverage while the plunging neckline allows swimwear to show through. This striking swimsuit truly turns heads, courtesy of its stylish animal print and body-hugging silhouette. Available in UK sizes 6-18, the one-piece boasts a tie fastening that lets wearers tailor their ideal fit.
