IF you’re a fashionista like us, chances are you’ve already spotted the gorgeous sandals Meghan Markle was wearing in the trailer for her new Netflix show.

Thrifty fashionistas can snap up a similar pair for 17x less at Marks & Spencer[/caption]
Eagle-eyed style lovers will have spotted the Duchess of Sussex wearing a pair of the posh Saint Laurent’s Tribute Woven Leather Slides – which will set you back an eye-watering £595.
Social media users saw the mother-of-two sporting them with a pair of blue jeans and a blush pink blouse – a simple yet sophisticated outfit.
But if the designer pair’s price tag is out of budget for you, then you may wish to have a browse on the Marks & Spencer’s website.
Priced at just £35, the Flat Mules are a more purse-friendly pick that boasts the same intricately woven design as Meghan’s pricey pair.
Thrifty shoppers can snap them up in a range of colours, including ivory, pale blue or tan, with the latter most closely resembling the Duchess’ pair.
Designed with comfort in mind, the M&S Flat Mules have an extra wide strap that helps prevent rubbing or digging in, with a simple flat sole and slip on design that makes them easy to wear.
They’re currently available in all sizes from 3 to 8 – however, as they’re sure to become a major hit, it’s best to get your hands on the sandals pronto if you want to avoid disappointment.
Fashionistas have already been sharing their opinion on the gorgeous footwear, giving them an impressive 4.8-star rating.
One said: “Very beautiful, excellent quality slides. I went a size smaller as slides tend to expand.”
Another added: “Lovely stylish sliders… great to wear as a casual sandal or to replace flip flops. Super comfy… although do come up a little small.”
Others also mentioned finding the sizing a little hit and miss, with some saying they sized up or down, whilst others found them to be a perfect fit in their usual size.
One person warned: “Really small fit. I am a size 5 so I ordered a 5 and a 6, both are too small, so you need to go up a couple of sizes.”
However another praised the trendy sandals: “Very stylish shoe. Lovely blue – harebell blue, I think.
Hottest fashion trends of 2025
Fabulous’ Fashion Editor Clemmie Fieldsend shares the biggest trends from the high street.
The East/West Bag
Baguette bags have had a good run, after returning from the 1990s’ shoulders of Sarah Jessica Parker to modern-day fashion icons, like Hailey Bieber.
In 2025, the East/West bag is a similar but elongated shape and has long, thin straps that are easy to throw over your shoulder.
They’ve been on runway models’ arms at nearly ever designer show – think Burberry, Givenchy and Bottega Veneta – and are hitting the high street now, too.
Powder pink
Bright fuchsia pink had its day after the release of Barbie in 2023 and now the more polished and expensive-looking pale shade is taking over for 2025.
Pantone may say that it’s the year of Mocha Mousse, but the catwalks say otherwise! From Prada to Erdem, the subtle look was all over the spring/summer catwalks, worn head-to-toe or on its own.
If the sugary shade is too girly for you, then look to sharp suiting for a androgynous take on the colour.
The shell jacket
The ’80s classic is back, but with a sleek and minimal new twist for 2025.
We all know we’re likely to see rain for most of spring, so your practical coat of choice should be a cagoule jacket.
Depop revealed one of its big trend predictions for this year is retro sportswear, with surges already seen in ‘80s windbreakers’.
Seen everywhere from the stylish streets of Copenhagen to the Miu Miu catwalk, now mums who have an emergency raincoat crumpled underneath their pushchair are very much in fashion!
The turn-up jeans
While the shape of jeans remains the same for this year and barrel-legs will still be everywhere, the way we’re styling them is different.
This season, transform your wide-leg, baggy denims into turn-ups.
For this look, size doesn’t matter, so while deep turn-ups are a hit from jean trend-leaders Citizens of Humanity, a slight fold is still just as good – but only as it’s just one single fold.
Peep-toe shoe
Get your pedicures booked in sharpish, as this season your toes are the main event.
After a long hiatus, the peep-toe has been welcomed back into the fashion fold, with brands like Hermes, Miu Miu and Tory Burch showing plain and embellished footwear in this style.
From mules to pumps and clogs (yes, clogs will be around too!), there are lots of different styles that are set to sweep the high street.
Sheer blouses
See-through looks have always lived on the catwalk, but have rarely filtered into everyday life – until now.
Designers Ralph Lauren and Tom Ford loved sheer looks on their S/S ’25 catwalks and M&S even had sellout success with its black sheer pencil skirt last season.
Expect to see more sheer looks lining supermarket aisles and high street shops in the form of skirts, tops and frocks.
”V [very] comfy slide as it has a slightly flexible sole that also has a pattern so not completely smooth and slippery. Bought in brown as well as they look v expensive and stylish.”
Whilst someone else wrote: “These sliders are so comfortable and look very similar to some available at hundreds of pounds more expensive.”
Couldn’t find the perfect pick? Fear not, as the high street has plenty of other options to check out.
H&M’s Tan Espadrille Sandals have a similar look at £19.99, and come in both tan and black colourways.
Rival Accessorize also has a similar version, with its Leather Cut-Out Sliders Tan priced at £32.
