Frankie Bridge’s River Island ballet pumps, which cost £35, are a dupe for Miu Miu’s version
FRANKIE Bridge is not only loved for being one-fifth of popular girl band The Saturday’s, but she also has a huge fashion following on Instagram.
The former singer, who is now a panelist on Loose Women, regularly shares her top photos in a weekly section called ‘Frankie’s Faves’ – and fashion fans have been going crazy for a pair of River Island shoes they recently spotted in a photo.

So if you have designer taste but not the bank balance to match, you might just want to listen!
That’s because the River Island ‘Black Studded Mary Jane Ballet Pumps’ look almost identical to a pair of £1,250 Miu Miu ballerinas.
But there is one big difference: the high price tag.
The high-street replica has a similar stud detail, but costs just £35, meaning you can save yourself a whopping £1.2k.
River Island’s bargain shoes also have a flat rubber sole, a PU upper and can be wiped clean with a damp cloth, which is useful given the wet weather of recent 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 ‘ballerinas embellished with logo straps’ have rhinestones instead of studs, and an elastic band instead of a buckle. .
The product description online reads: “Miu Miu puts a sparkling twist on the classic ballet pumps with this crystal-embellished eyelet leather pair.
“The style features a delicate bow detail and an elastic band that runs across the foot.”
In her Instagram post, fashionista Frankie paired the shoes with River Island’s ‘Blue High Waisted Relaxed Straight Crop Jeans’, which retail for £38, a £30 loose gray knitted jumper and a sweet yellow long button-up coat, priced at £75.
She wore a ‘grey melton’ baseball cap from the shop, £15, a black crinkle bumbag, £14.90, and a pair of chunky gold earrings, on sale for £12.
And it’s no surprise that fashion fans couldn’t get enough of her look, especially the shoes.
“I love the shoes!!” praised one.
A second wrote: “Obsessed with everything.”
And a third added: “Wow!!!! I love all this Frankie.
