Gold heels added a touch of glamour to Princess Kate's dazzling state banquet look last night - and we've found chic high-street options for a fraction of the price so you can channel her style.

The royal, 43, stepped out in her Aquazzura 'Fenix 105' pumps in metallic gold, a striking pair that perfectly offset her embroidered ballgown by Phillipa Lepley. Her pumps feature a textured finish that catches the light beautifully, adding depth and dimension to the shimmering tone.

The modern design is instantly striking with its curved cut-out straps at the front, a pointed toe and tall stiletto heel. While Kate's £556 designer heels are no longer available, there are plenty of elegant and affordable alternatives in our edit below.

Just like the princess's, these styles would dazzle under a sweeping gown but work just as well with sharp tailoring or jeans for a smart-casual finish. With party season approaching, they're also the perfect way to add a flash of gold to your wardrobe.

These sparkling stilettos also have a textured finish, but in the form of embellishments across the shoe, buckle and heel, which give them a more crystal-like shimmer than Kate's pair. They come in sizes 3 to 8, in standard and wide fit.
