Unless you've been living under a rock, you've probably noticed that slingback heels have made a comeback. A chic, timeless and sophisticated shoe that when worn we guarantee will make you feel like you just walked off the set of an old Hollywood film. It's giving old money, and we want in.

One slingback heel we can't get enough of is Chanel's, a classic beige and black slingback with a not-so-budget-friendly retail price of £880. But worry not, where there's a will to wear high-end fashion, high street stores will find a way for us to do so, just at a fraction of the price. Remember EGO's Dior Saddle bag dupe?

Last year, TikTok users took a liking to a pair of slingback heels from River Island, likening them to the celeb approved Chanel Slingback shoes as spotted on Dua Lipa below. Both shoes were almost identical, however there was one significant difference - the price. River Island's pair was an absolute bargain at only £35, saving you upwards of £800 on some chic French inspired shoes.

Unfortunately though, the Slingback heels TikTokers went wild for are now out of stock, but worry not, as we've found an excellent alternative. Please welcome to the stage: Marks and Spencer's Leather Block Heel Slingback Shoes that are still a bargain at £45.

The Marks and Spencer rendition of the Chanel shoes come in two colours, blush and black, complete with contrasting trims and an adjustable strap. They really give #oldmoney, but for the budget-friendly girlies out there.

Shop them below and elevate your wardrobe.

These are the perfect alternatives if you missed out on the River Island slingback dupes. We adore the contrasting detail on these shoes, perfect for a night out sipping cocktails with the girls. You can also grab them in black.
