Both Duchesses are regularly seen out in public wearing their secret footwear weapon; nude heels.

Celebrity stylist Donny Galella told : “Every woman needs a pair of nude pumps in her life.

“They always elongate your legs and make you look taller and thinner.”

Donny said that the heels not only help to make your legs look slim, but also are “classic and timeless that pretty much go with everything in your wardrobe.”

He added: “That's the reason why so many celebrities and royal women repeat them in their wardrobes.”

The stylist advised that you should always try and find a shade that matches your skin tone perfectly and select a platform heel if you want to look even taller.

While royal women such as Kate Middleton, Meghan Markle and Spain’s Queen Letizia favour pricey labels such as LK Bennett, Manolo Blahnik and Prada, there are more affordable options.

For decades, the options out there have been very restricting and limited to pale skin tones – until now that is.

Marks & Spencer has launched a range of nude stilettos that aims to include a whole spectrum of skin tones and widen the diversity on the market.

What’s even better is that the shoes won’t break the bank and they look perfect for both parties and work.

There are two different styles for sale – the £25 platform heel or a £19.50 pointed stiletto heel.

Each of the two styles comes in six different shades, including dark taupe, espresso, light caramel, mocha, taupe and light pink.
