M&S releases an affordable version of Kate Middleton's favourite swimwear

From Cosmopolitan

Is it just us, or has M&S really upped its game recently? First it was the sell out polka dot jumpsuit, then the leopard-print dress and now the retailer has just dropped some fire swimwear that we can't get enough of.

Obvs we're obsessed with Rosie Huntingdon-Whiteley's Autograph range, but the M&S collection pieces are drool-worthy too. We're obsessed in particular with one suit, a white one piece complete with plunging neckline and gold-tone waist belt. Apart from the fact it's cute AF, we love it because it reminds us of Kate Middleton and sister Pippa's favourite swimwear brand, Melissa Odabash, and it's cult Dominica swimsuit.

Apart from the fact it's cute AF, we love it because it reminds us of Melissa Odabash's sold-out ‘Dominica’ swimsuit from a few seasons ago. Now sadly sold out (RIP), the designer piece was based on Bond girl Ursulla Andress' bikini in the 1962 James Bond film Dr.No.

Daisy Lowe channelled the exact same just-stepped-out-of-the-sea-looking-sexy moment back in 2016 on a trip to Miami.

The Middleton sisters and Daisy aren't the only celebrities loving the label; Rihanna, Lady Gaga and Gwynnie Paltrow are all mega fans. Kate Moss also wore a white plunging Melissa Odabash swimsuit in her iconic St Tropez tan campaign in 2013.

Obviously we're always awaiting the day Melissa Odabash re-stocks the 'Dominica' (it was last spotted for just £98 on The Outnet) but, for now, this M&S version will definitely keep us satisfied.

Not just a pretty piece, this swimsuit has a subtly padded bust and tummy control panel to flatter your figure. Perf on day five of the beach holiday when you're feeling a little bloated from excessive Pina Colada consumption. Also, did we mention how much of a tan enhancer white swimwear is?

Priced at only £35, this baby looks way more expensive than it actually is. We're betting this one won't hang around for long, so act fast people!
