SHOE KNEW?
Frankie Bridge’s £35 River Island ballet pumps are near identical dupe for Miu Miu’s version – but they’re £1.2k cheaper
There are only a few differences between the high-end and high-street shoes
FRANKIE Bridge is not only loved for being one fifth of popular girl band The Saturday's, but she's also got a huge fashion following on Instagram.
The former singer, who is now a panellist on Loose Women, regularly shares her top pics in a weekly section called 'Frankie's Faves' - and fashion fans have been going wild for a pair of River Island shoes they spotted in a recent reel.

So, if you've got designer taste but not the bank balance to match, then you may just want to listen up!
That's because the River Island 'Black Studded Mary Jane Ballet Pumps' look almost identical to a pair of £1,250 Miu Miu ballet flats.
But there's one major difference - the hefty price tag.
The high-street replica feature a similar studded detail but cost just £35 - meaning you can save yourself a whopping £1.2k.

River Island's bargain shoes also have a flat rubber sole, Upper PU and can be wiped clean with a damp cloth, which is handy considering the wet weather we've had over the last few days.
However, it's worth pointing out that the main difference between the luxury version and the dupes - apart from the price tag - is that Miu Miu’s 'logo-strap embellished ballet flats' have rhinestones rather than studs, and an elasticated strap instead of a buckle.
The product description online reads: "Miu Miu puts a sparkling spin on the classic ballet pump with this crystal-embellished leather pair with punctured holes.
"The style features a delicate bow detail and an elastic strap that runs across the foot.";

She accessorised with a 'grey melton' baseball cap from the high-street store, £15, a black crinkle bum bag, £14.90, and a pair of chunky gold drop earrings, which retail at £12.

And it's little surprise fashion fans couldn't get enough of her look - the shoes in particular.
“Loooove the shoes!!” praised one.
