We’ve found some purse-friendly and affordable shoes on the high street that are reminiscent of a designer pair of heeled pumps worn by Princess Kate. However, while Princess Kate’s are often designer, we’ve found similar shoes for as little as £32.99.
The Princess of Wales, 43, frequently wears her Alessandra Rich slingback court heels, while Camilla, 77, has relied on her beloved Chanel pumps for over a decade and last wore the iconic staple during her recent royal tour in Rome. The late Princess Diana also wore this style of shoes.
The classic two-tone, slingback is a timeless shoe, but they’re having something of a moment right now. While the Chanel shoes are undeniably luxurious, fashion-conscious shoppers can achieve a similar look without the designer price tag.
One of the most affordable pairs we have found is from New Look, but there are also some higher-end options available.
These chic slingback pumps from high-street shop New Look offer a similar luxury designer style to Princess Kate’s but at an affordable price. The sophisticated cream and black two-tone design is reminiscent of Chanel’s iconic slingback pumps, capturing that timeless 1950s elegance without the designer price tag.
They have a comfortable low block heel and adjustable ankle strap with gold-tone hardware, but won’t break the bank at just £32.99.
These elegant slingback pumps from Pretty Little Thing are made from nude PU (a faux leather material). They have contrasting black toe caps and a charming bow detail, mimicking the Chanel shoes but with a twist.
Unlike the Chanel slingbacks, these pumps have an elegant pointed toe that would look good with both tailored trousers and flowing dresses. The moderate heel height means they are likely to be comfortable. And, at just £30, they won’t break the bank.
These sophisticated Steve Madden slingback pumps offer a more elevated take on the classic two-tone design that Queen Camilla wears on repeat from Chanel. These are made of white leather with contrasting black toe caps. They also have a higher block heel than previous styles, so perfect if you’re looking for a taller shoe.
They are selling quickly, but make sure you check out the alternative options, including an all black and nude two-tone design.
These charming slingback pumps from Charles & Keith are made from glossy patent PU material in a classic cream and black colourway that is similar to Princess Kate’s Chanel shoes. They are elevated by contrasting bow details across the front, adding a feminine element to the shoes.
Like the Chanels, they have a comfortable, low block heel. If you prefer a pop of colour, the pumps also come in a blue and white colourway.
If you have a little more money to spare, these sophisticated Carel Paris slingback leather pumps are a more high-end option, but are currently on sale at Harrods with an impressive £125 saving.
They have the same contrasting cream and black colourway, along with a curved toe and a buckle fastening for extra support. However, the shoe’s shape is slightly narrower at the front than the classic Chanel version. The low block heel means they should be comfortable enough to wear casually or dress up for an event.
