If you've ever browsed the PrettyLittleThing website, you'll know that the fast-fashion retailer has some amazing deals on clothes that always look stunning on the models.
But one mum on TikTok has discovered that not everything looks as good in real life as it does in the pictures after she snapped up a winter coat that was modelled by former Love Island star Molly-Mae Hague, who is also the Creative Director of the retailer.
Holly Smith shared a video that showed pictures of the long Teddy coat worn by Molly-Mae, the Daily Star reports, before she cut to a picture of herself wearing the oversized fluffy jacket - which looked more like a cosy dressing gown than a stylish outdoor coat.

The mum-of-four and money-saving blogger, who posts under the username @hollyvlogsofficial, captioned the clip: "No wonder it was reduced..."
Holly also took to the comments of her video to ask people for their opinions, as she said that while the jacket was "very comfortable", she doesn't think she'll be wearing it outside any time soon.
She added: "Coat or Dressing Gown? Let me know what you think? … (I must admit it’s very comfortable but I don’t think I’ll wear it in public anymore!)"
Opinion was split among the 261,000 people who viewed the viral video though - with many people defending the coat and insisting it wasn't as bad as Holly first thought.
One person said: "Are you joking? This was my favourite coat for a good two years!"
While another added: "It’s definitely a coat. Belted fluffy coats do look like dressing gowns, but what do you expect?"
And a third posted: "I think it’s just the way it fits. If you bought a bigger size so it was oversized and didn't do the belt up, it would look less like a dressing gown."
But other commenters agreed with Holly, claiming the coat definitely seemed like something you would wear to keep you warm around the house in the winter months, rather than something suitable for the outdoors.
Someone said: "It's nice, but it does look like a dressing gown."
As someone else stated: "I saw a similar jacket and literally my first thought was she was wearing a robe."
In another video, Holly went into more detail about her ordeal with the PrettyLittleThing coat, as she said she had worn it out in public and had someone stop her to tell her not to feel bad about wearing a dressing gown in public.
She said: "PrettyLittleThing, you have done me dirty. This is what I wanted, the nice Teddy coat as seen on Molly-Mae, but this is what I got.
"I went out in this and someone came up to me and said 'Sometimes I go out wearing my dressing gown too.'
"This is not a coat, PrettyLittleThing, this is a dressing gown!"
