Princess Eugenie always looks elegant, pairing her outfits with stylish accessories. On a recent outing, her trendy shoes caught our eye.
The 35-year-old royal was snapped in a pair of Staud mules at a King’s Foundation event last week, which she wore with a dark denim dress. The shoe style has had somewhat of a revival in recent years in fashion circles; the slip-on design and low heel make them a really versatile choice for both special occasions and more casual outfits.
Staud is renowned for its high-quality materials and unique designs. Over the years, the US label has gained a significant following among celebrities, including Eugenie’s cousin-in-law, Meghan Markle.
The Daily Express has identified Eugenie’s exact shoes and curated a list of affordable alternatives.
Princess Eugenie’s designer kitten heels are a gorgeous example of understated luxury. The soft champagne hue is perfect for summer styling, while the minimalist design — featuring a single wide strap across the front — keeps the silhouette sleek. Crafted from satin, these mules have a subtle sheen that makes them versatile for both day-to-night transitions and special occasions. You can pair these with jeans or a denim skirt or dress, as Eugenie did, or wear them with something more dressy.
Check out the selection of alternate colours, including a black woven pattern.
With their block heel and square toe, these suede mules are a little chunkier than Eugenie’s satin pair and have a retro feel. They’re ideal for daytime wear or elevating casual outfits – and are only £39.99.
In a similar Champagne tone to Eugine’s mules, the straps on this wide-fit pair have a knotted design. They’re crafted from soft faux leather (recognised as entirely animal-free by The Vegan Society), and the square toe and sturdy block heel give them a fashion-forward edge. We recommend styling these with tailored linen trousers for a sharp daytime look or a floaty white dress for a breezy summer vibe.
If you prefer a closed toe, try these kitten heels from L.K. Bennett – a brand loved by the royals. They have a sharply pointed toe that elongates the foot, while the crystal-embellished heart-shaped buckle gives these a jewel-like finish that’s both playful and polished. Perfect for evening occasions or whenever you want to make a statement, these heels are a sparkling upgrade for anyone craving a touch of vintage drama.
If you prefer high heels, then take a look at these elegant, blush-pink stiletto sandals with a minimalist, ultra-feminine design. They feature three slim horizontal straps across the toes, with a skinny ankle strap, giving a barely-there feel.
