Fans were shocked when they found out the price of the timeless black and white swimsuit but for those who like the classic style, Boux Avenue has a similar one for less
Amanda Holden showed off her tanned complexion in an eye-catching monochrome swimsuit while sunbathing in the glorious sunshine in the Mediterranean. Her sold out Away That Day Cannes Swimsuit has a classic black and white style but usually comes with a hefty £225 price tag.
However, shoppers looking for something similar can look to Boux Avenue where the Rivoli monochrome swimsuit, currently reduced from £52 to £41.60, boasts similar features including the contrasting colour adjustable shoulder straps and figure-flattering balconette cups.
The shoulder straps can be adjusted to sit further to the sides to accentuate the decolletage while the back features a cut-out design for a timeless style.

It scored 3.9 out of fours in reviews, with one shopper saying: “Lovely swimsuit, the white details are super flattering, particularly on the leg area. Can’t wait to wear this on holiday.”
A second shared: “I bought this with my normal bra size, which I have many from Boux Avenue, and it was on the small size. There was no way the back clip was going to reach, let alone stay done up and it was a bit small on the boob.” She added that if the description could clearly mark the band size, she would go for one size up.
A third also agreed on the flattering design and described as “50s pin up Barbie” but mentioned that it was “too short on the torso”.
For Australian swimwear fans, Seafolly’s Ric Rac One Piece Swimsuit, £120, at Next is another good option for a holiday staple. The ultra-feminine one piece with scallop trimmed border and bow detailing features soft cups for shape and support, gripper support and gripper tape to hold the swimsuit in place with an internal shelf bra for bust support.
Shoppers can also pick up the CupShe’s Square Neck One Piece Swimsuit from Amazon, which is currently reduced from £26.39 to £22.43 in a limited time deal. Instead of thick shoulder straps for maximum impact, it’s swapped to a thin border to go around the bust.
Amanda’s fans reacted to her post, with one commenting in disbelief: “£225 for that swimming costume!” A second wrote: “This woman has the most incredible figure, just no idea how, it’s like she’s still in her 20s.”
