SHE’S a fashion powerhouse whose first clothing line sold out in just 24 minutes.
Molly-Mae Hague launched Maebe – her quality range of staples including boxy jackets, adjustable-waist jeans and short-sleeve knit tops – last year.
But as well as picking up items from her debut fashion brand, fans of the Love Island alum, 25, love to find dupes of her stylish outfits.
Recently, the influencer turned businesswoman sported a burgundy rugby shirt while promoting her Amazon Prime documentary Behind It All.
And shoppers have been left delighted after spotting a £12 version in Primark that bears a striking resemblance to the TV beauty’s.
The long sleeved polo top comes in two colour variations – brown with pink and white stripes, or burgundy with blue and white stripes just like Molly-Mae’s.
It comes in sizes XS to XL and is available for click and collect if you want to make sure your local store has it in stock.
Describing the dupe on their website, the Primark team say: “Don’t worry, you don’t need to know the rules of polo to wear this striped long sleeve polo top (but being versed in fashion rules may help).
“The classic collar adds a preppy twist, while the relaxed fit keeps things laid-back and effortless.
“The contrasting white collar and button placket are signature to the classic polo top (which we love). Play with textures and pair your polo top with jeans or pleated skirts.”
And fashion fans are already going wild for the “gorgeous” buy on social media.
Hailing it as “the viral dupe”, one person said: “That Molly-Mae rugby top from the documentary that everyone went wild for? Primark – You’re welcome.”
A second wrote: “I saw Molly-Mae wearing a stripe rugby top so…I wouldn’t have looked at it before seeing someone else styling it!”
A third chimed in: “Love it! It’s one of those tops I wouldn’t look twice at but it looks so good on!”
“Ok I need asap”, cried a fourth.
A fifth added: “Got mine today. It’s gorgeous!!”
Meanwhile, a sixth joked: “Molly Mae’s wearing rugby shirts, so we’re wearing rugby shirts. I tried it in a S, but maybe would’ve got it M for more oversize. Cute casual summer outfit.
“I actually tried this on before watching the Molly-Mae documentary, and was like ‘girl! Matching!!!’.”
Not everyone’s convinced about the retail giant’s sporty buy, however.
One social media user sighed: “It’s okay to have your own personality. Don’t worry.”
Someone else claimed: “Molly-Mae is going to be the reason that British charity shops are full of [these] in a month.”
“I just can’t get on board with these rugby style tops”, confessed a third.
And a fourth wrote: “Someone said Tracey Beaker and I can’t unsee it.”
Molly-Mae’s very lavish lifestyle has been well documented, and the first three episodes of her latest docuseries gave viewers a closer look into her flashy spending habits.
During the half hour episodes, she spilled the goss on her situation with ex Tommy, how they’ve coped with co-parenting daughter Bambi and even the £140 Maebe blazer that caused widespread backlash.
But fashion fans also noticed her extensive designer wardrobe and beauty products – making it clear that style is a huge passion.
The mum-of-one said Maebe had been “three years in the making”.
Speaking about the launch, which came just weeks after her five year relationship with Tommy Fury came to an end, she said: “When I became a mum, I changed a lot as a person and different things became important to me in terms of fashion, it was the right time to launch Maebe. I was really ready to sink my teeth into something new.
“I have a really good feeling about this new era of my life and think it’s going to be so special and a great thing for me to focus on and put my time into as well as being a mum to Bambi.”
Despite the popularity of the long-awaited fashion brand, many shoppers were left gobsmacked at the prices.
The influencer, 25, has been slammed for “not knowing her audience” after revealing how much she’s charging for a basic tee, jeans and blazers.
Many slammed the “outrageous” prices – which range between £35 and £140 – and questioned why the range is “so expensive”.
“Why does Molly-Mae’s new range have to be so expensive?” one shopper moaned on X, previously Twitter.
“Molly-Mae charging an arm and a leg for basic clothes is outrageous,” another slammed.
Whilst someone else chimed in: “Does she realise that a lot of her followers are young girls, uni students or adults that have to pay mortgages?”
AUSTRALIAN OPEN champion Madison Keys will not be able to play in Austin, Texas next month due to a little-known WTA rule.
The American, 29, produced an incredible performance to defeat Aryna Sabalenka and claim the trophy Down Under last Saturday.
Despite being a former U.S. Open champion in 2017, Keys had gone into the tournament as 19th seed and was not expected to go all the way.
After claiming her first Major title, in addition to winning the WTA 500 event in Adelaide the week before, Keys’ world ranking has shot up to a career-high No.7.
While Keys is relishing her newfound status as a Grand Slam champion, her new ranking has caused her one schedule headache.
She had been due to play at the ATX Open in Austin, starting on February 24.
But WTA rules state that 250 events, worth 250 points for winning the title, must only feature one top 10 player.
This is claimed to “ensure balanced competition across all WTA events held during the same week“.
Keys’ American compatriot Jessica Pegula, ranked No.6, has already signed up to be Austin’s top 10 participant.
The Aussie Open champion had been ranked No.21 when she signed up to play in Austin.

But having now joined Pegula in the top 10, Keys cannot now join the 30-year-old in the field.
Confirming Keys’ withdrawal in a statement, tournament director Christo Van Rensburg said: “We love Madison and have been anticipating for months the excitement of her playing here in Austin for the first time.
“While we wish the Top 10 rule didn’t apply to our tournament, we respect the rules of the WTA.”
During the same week as the event in Austin, there is a WTA 500 tournament in Merida, Mexico that Keys could choose to enter instead.
Keys had been due to return to action at the Qatar Open next month, but has withdrawn due to a hamstring injury.
As it stands, she remains on the entry list for the WTA 1000 event the following week in Dubai, commencing on February 16.
HOLYWOOD hotshot Rory McIlroy is scaling back his PGA Tour schedule this year.
The four-time major winner wants the tour’s overall number of tournaments to be reduced in the future.
The 36-year-old was speaking ahead of his debut event of the 2025 campaign at the $20m ‘Signature’ AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.
Six-time Race to Dubai winner reckons the PGA Tour has been diminished due to the number of events on the schedule.
He also believes the game is oversaturated for the consumer before calling for an NFL-style, shorter season.
The commented in 2023 that he played too few events before upping his schedule last year.
The world number three could cut his season back to 20 events after after he said he played too many events in 2024.
He said: “I think it [the tour] already has been diminished.
“I think there’s space for all of this.
“Yeah, I can see when the golf consumer might get a little fatigued of everything that’s sort of available to them.
“So to scale it back a little bit and maybe have a little more scarcity in some of the stuff that we do, like the NFL, I think mightn’t be a bad thing.
“But look, I would much rather sit down and watch real golfers play real tournaments and that’s just my opinion.
“That to me is more entertaining. But I understand that other people want something different and that’s totally fine as well.”
The three-time FedEx Cup winner played 26 combined starts in 2024 on the PGA Tour and DP World Tour as he complained about playing too much last year.
He added: “I just played way too much last year.
“I want to be home more. I want to be a little more rested and fresh for bigger events.”
McIlroy’s first start of the American tour will coincide with the return of Scottie Scheffler and Jordan Spieth.
World number one Scheffler is returning from hand surgery after an accident on Christmas Day.
The FedEx Cup champion had small glass fragments removed from the palm, which postponed his planned season debut at the AMEX Championship.
While Joran Spieth is returning after wrist surgery, the three-time major winner opted to take time out after missing last year’s FedEx Cup Playoffs to get the long-standing issue operated on.
