The 5 best high street dupes of Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle’s favourite shoe…and they’ll all save you a fortune
THE royals have always been well-heeled, with the likes of Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle regularly showing off their enviable shoe collection.
As party season approaches, we’ve found five of the designer dupes which won’t cost you a King’s ransom.
If you are not familiar with Aquazzura, you soon will be.
The Florence based brand has become style staple among royals, with the Duchess of Cambridge even wearing a pair to a reception to the re-opening The National Portrait Gallery.
Paired with a stunning white dress, she wore the iconic Aquazzura bow pump which is made from suede and has stunning sleek stiletto heel.
One of this year’s most sort after shoes, the heels also feature a chic cut out and signature bow at the back.
Sadly, you’ll need to sell off the crown jewels to afford a pair as they cost a staggering £645.
Royal watchers can copy Kate’s style for just a fraction of the price though, with these stunning dupes from Carvela for just £59.
Featuring the same court heel and sexy cut out, these are the perfect day to night shoes over the festive season.
It’s not the only Aquazzura dupe on the high street though, with several retailers paying homage to the Duchess’ favourite designer.
While summer might be long gone, many brands are still taking inspiration from the designer’s beautiful Papillion sandals.
Though we love the tie heel and girly butterfly appliques, few of us can afford to spend £755 on a single pair of shoes.
If you are looking to mimic the monarchs though, you can find a similarly strappy pair of heels at River Island for £59 with gorgeous pink detailing.
Sky high heels aren’t for everyone though and like many of us, the royals love a mule.
Aquazzura Amore mule is the perfect addition to any royal wardrobe, with it’s low heel, soft leather and elegant twist detail helping them power through even the lengthiest of engagements.
With a price tag of £645 though, you’ll definitely be living like a King if you splash out on these shoes.
Instead, we recommend the Asos Design dupes which have the same open toe style and come in a stunning stone colour.
You’ll definitely be able to hold court with these heels too, as they retail for just £28 online.
As it’s nearly Christmas though, you might want to add a bit more sparkle added to your wardrobe.
Much like the royals’ other glittering accessories, the royals’ favourite Aquazzura Tequila sandals are not within our budget this year.
These beautiful gold shoes are made from real leather, adorned with embellishments and feature the brand’s signature stiletto heel.
Whilst the high-end heel will cost £890, you can find a party ready alternative at Coast for only £47.40.
Buyers beware though, as these designer dupes are already close to selling out.
If you are in the mood for a right royal party though, you might want to invest in these Studio 54 inspired gold platforms from Jigsaw.
Unlike the Aquazzura Sundance heels, which start from £600, the high street alternative costs feel than a third of the designer brand at £175.
For those who still aren’t sold, the dupe also comes in either black or gold meaning you can party like a princess whatever your style is.
Sounds like a perfect time to get those dancing shoes on!
