Furious customers blast ‘tragic' new Balenciaga heeled sneakers with STAGGERING price
A BACKLASH is afoot after Balenciaga unveiled high-heel trainers for £820.
A model posed in ski goggles and the odd footwear with 8.5cm stiletto for the fashion house's Autumn 2025 collection.
But critics raced to social media to blast the 'Monday Heel Shoe'.
Julia Rawan wrote: 'Tragic.'
Brandi McDonald added: 'And this is an international brand.'
The Spanish firm was mocked in 2023 for flogging a £695 skirt that looked like a towel.
And in 2022, it was slammed for having a teddy bear wearing fetish gear next to a child in a promo shoot.
Balenciaga hit the headlines in recent years after they released platform sandals in a Crocs style.
A few months later, the bizarre footwear also became available in a wedge style.
It seemed some Crocs lovers couldn't wait to get their hands on a pair, with one Twitter user revealing she'd be wearing them for a night out.

Jurassic World star Luna Blaise puts on a very racy display in a sheer skintight dress at the world premiere of the new movie in London
Actress Luna Blaise commanded attention on Tuesday as she stepped onto the red carpet at the Jurassic World: Rebirth world premiere in London. The star, 23, who stars as Teresa Delgado in the upcoming blockbuster, turned heads in a skintight midi dress that flaunted her sensational curves. Her daring look featured a plunging neckline and was adorned with pearlescent scales, giving a nod to the film's prehistoric theme. She elevated the ensemble with gold heels and matching hoop earrings as she pulled her raven tresses into a sleek updo. Luna appeared in high spirits as she posed confidently for the cameras before heading into the star-studded event. The new science fiction action film, which comes on the heels of Jurassic World Dominion (2022), is the seventh film in the Jurassic Park franchise and stars a whole new ensemble cast, with Scarlett Johansson in the lead role. On a top-secret mission, the characters fight for their lives in a battle against much larger and dangerous foes. The movie is set half a decade after the 2022 Jurassic World Dominion movie, which starred Bryce Dallas Howard alongside Chris Pratt, Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum and Sam Neill among many more in the all-star cast. The synopsis of the movie reads: 'Five years after the events of Jurassic World Dominion, the planet's ecology has proven largely inhospitable to dinosaurs. 'Those remaining exist in isolated equatorial environments with climates resembling the one in which they once thrived,' the summary continues. Steven Spielberg is back as executive producer on the project, which is a joint-venture production between Amblin Entertainment and Universal. Principal photography began in mid-June in Thailand and went on for about a month until the production moved to Kalkara in the island country of Malta in the Mediterranean Sea, located in Southern Europe for another month. From there, the shoot went to Sky Studios Elstree in London, England in August for another round before moving on in late September to New York City Jurassic World Rebirth is scheduled to hit theaters in the UK and US on July 2, 2025. Luna appeared in high spirits as she posed confidently for the cameras before heading into the star-studded event Luna has been working as an actress in Hollywood for many years already. She is best known for her role as Olive Stone in the NBC/Netflix sci fi drama series Manifest. And she was also in Nicole Ellis in ABCs Fresh Off The Boat. The star began acting at the age of six with a cameo appearance in the 2008 film Vicious Circle. In 2013, she was seen as a Young Nina in the indie art film, Memoria. The movie was executive produced by James Franco who also had a role in the project. In 2014, Luna was cast in the recurring role of Nicole on the ABC television series Fresh Off the Boat starring Randall Park and Constance Wu as Louis and Jessica Huang. She was 13 when the series started filming, and it was her first major role. In early 2017, she released her first single, 'Over You', and announced in December 2017 she would be releasing new music in the new year. The following year she was cast as Olive Stone in the NBC drama/mystery series Manifest which became a monster hit on Netflix.

Kanye West slammed for dressing his wife Bianca Censori like an exact clone of his ex Kim Kardashian after she gets extensions like the reality star: 'She'll never be good enough for him'
Kanye West has been slammed for dressing his Australian wife Bianca Censori exactly like his ex Kim Kardashian. On Monday, the 30-year-old Australian architect, known for her highly provocative fashion choices, put on a very daring display as she stepped out in a plunging nude leotard. Looking very much like Kim Kardashian's doppelganger, Censori also wore voluminous black hair extensions, further prompting comparisons to the reality star Queen. It was not lost on fans, with many pointing out the similarities between the pair. Many also took aim at West, claiming he was behind the decision for Censori to channel his ex wife. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'I see Kanye had her dress just like Kim all the way down to the Kim wig,' one fan commented on Daily Mail's article on the risqué exhibition. Another suggested that Censori's frequent racy displays were the result of 'low self esteem'. 'Bianca either has really low self esteem and she doesn't think she deserves better than being bossed around by her husband or she likes being told what to do and the attention she gets, she is unstable like her husband,' they suggested. A third chimed in with a similar: 'He probably makes her wear cardboard mask with Kim's face on it, looks like she's gone and got hair extensions to match too.' The criticism didn't end there, either with another suggesting West was controlling how Censori looked in public. 'How can a woman be happy with a man who really wants her to be his ex-wife?' they asked. 'How can she be happy with herself, does she look in the mirror and say "Life's great, I'm looking more like Kim today".' Yet another offered: 'Dressed up to look like his ex wife, she'll never be good enough for him but I guess all she cares about is the dollars.' 'I see Kanye had her dress just like Kim all the way down to the Kim wig,' one fan commented on Daily Mail's article on the risqué exhibition It wasn't all negative however, with many pointing out Bianca was cutting a much more demure figure than some of her previous outings. 'I really don't see the outrage?, one offered, coming to Bianca's defence. ' It's a full 1 piece swimsuit and leggings? everything is covered and shown to perfection.' That's a lot more than she usually wears,' another suggested. Since walking down the aisle with Censori, the rapper has encouraged his wife to wear a number of very racy looks, which have caused a stir online. Last month, Censori angered locals after baring her breasts in a sheer bra during a shopping trip with West in Spain. Locals were 'left horrified' as the couple walked through the market in the revealing ensemble. One witness told People were horrified. They could be heard asking "is that her real nipple?" as they walked by.' Despite the backlash, women have been allowed to go topless in certain areas of Spain since 2020 under Catalan equality law. Spanish officials have enforced rules that allow women to sunbathe topless in public without fear of arrest, according to the Daily Record. Authorities can be fined up to £430,000 if they prevent women from going topless. However, her revealing look was still deemed ''inappropriate' and many have slammed her look. 'Why hasn't this woman been arrested for indecency yet!!!?' one person asked. No strangers to scandal, West and Censori have continuously raised eyebrows over their choices in clothing, with Bianca's barely-there looks sparking fury from locals. During a previous Italian trip in 2023, Censori wore a slew of eccentric outfits during the couple's getaway. In February 2025, the couple shocked the world after she exposed herself on the red carpet in a see-through dress. At the time, a source close to her husband told the New York Post claimed that Censori was 'talked into' wearing the nude dress. 'She would have much rather worn a pretty dress,' the insider said. 'She would have enjoyed the evening a lot more.' West is said to have lost a $20 million deal to play in Japan as a result of his controversial stunt.

Newest British nepo baby, 19, on the scene who stars as Tom Hardy's daughter in MobLand has famous parents AND siblings - so can YOU guess who she is?
The newest British nepo baby is now firmly on the scene. The 19-year-old actress stars as Tom Hardy 's daughter in MobLand - the crime series which also features Helen Mirren and Piercer Brosnan in the cast. Her father and mother are famous actors and even her siblings are well known celebrities. Her dad has starred in films such as Shallow Grave, Trainspotting and Kingsman: The Golden Circle and has six children with four women. While her half sister found fame with huge pop hits such as Smile and The Fear. So can YOU guess who she is? That's right it's Teddie Allen! Teddie is the daughter of actors Keith Allen and Tamzin Malleson and the half-sister of Lily and Alfie Allen. Lily, 38, is a world famous singer and actress and has received Grammy, BRIT Award and Olivier Award nominations over her career. Alfie, 37, is an actor, most famed for starring as Theon Greyjoy on all eight seasons of hit series Game Of Thrones, as well as John Wick and JoJo Rabbit. He welcomed Lily and Alfie with his first wife Alison Owen before his relationship with current partner Tamzin, 49, who gave birth to Teddie in 2006. Teddie recently spoke to The Sunday Times alongside her father, where she revealed what it is like to have celebrities in the family. She explained it had been 'weird' when she was younger, with people asking her dad for photos and other children at school quizzing her on her relation to Lily. Teddie added that an added negative was when she would search up her family on the internet and would see cruel comments about her from online trolls. However, she said that she enjoyed going to see Lily and swimming in her pool and recalled meeting celebrities like Nick Grimshaw and Happy Mondays' Shaun Ryder. So can YOU guess who she is? That's right it's Teddie Allen! She explained: 'When I was at junior school, older girls started asking me if my mum and dad were on telly or if Lily Allen was my sister. That feels a bit weird when you're little. 'And when we were out shopping people would run up to my dad and call him 'a legend' or 'a hellraiser'. If they wanted a selfie it was usually me that ended up taking it. 'I wanted to say, 'You might think he's a legend and a hellraiser, but did you know that he calls me into the living room to get the TV remote from the coffee table because he's too lazy to get off the armchair?'' She added: 'As I got older it all started to make sense. I'd see pictures of him with Alex James from Blur or Jennifer Saunders, Neneh Cherry. There's a picture of me in the kitchen with Shaun Ryder from the Happy Mondays. 'Then there's Alfie and Lily. I used to love going to Lily's house because she had a swimming pool — Nick Grimshaw was there one day and taught me how to dive. 'Foolishly, when I was about 11, I started googling my family and wish I hadn't. There was even some horrible stuff about me, saying how awful my name was. I didn't know these people, so what's it got to do with them?' Teddie quickly began to follow in her famous family members' footsteps, starring in the 2016 BBC adaptation of Swallows and Amazons at just 10 years old, as well as roles in Cider with Rosie and Four Kids and It. However, she said that despite her famous connections, she has not benefitted from being a 'nepo baby'. Teddie explained that Keith had refused to pay for her to have acting classes or help her get parts. She said: 'When I told him I was interested in acting, he said there was no way he was paying for some fancy acting college or hustling for work for his daughter. At the time I was a bit put out, but now I see he was right.' Explaining his view, Keith said: 'Teddie seems to be drifting towards acting but I can promise you that she has never been pushed or encouraged by me or Tamzin. 'None of this nepotism s**t. If she wants to do it, she can do it herself. I didn't have anybody helping me.' He continued: 'She seems quite wary of stepping into the public eye, or whatever you want to call it, because she's seen that it doesn't always have a positive outcome. 'That's the best way to approach it. All these people that are so desperate to be famous: f*** off.' He added: 'If Teddie ends up in Hollywood and she's happy, great. If it means I don't have to work, even better.' Speaking about the success of his other children, Keith said: 'For some stupid reason I keep getting asked if I mind my children being more famous than me. 'Lily has sold millions of records, Alfie has been in Game of Thrones. What kind of father gets jealous of his children's success?' Keith was 53 years old when he welcomed Teddie, and said that being an older dad was easier because he felt 'more confident' and less 'self-absorbed' as he had been when Lily was born. He admitted he wasn't 'as pleasant as I could have been' and that he has made a lot of mistakes in my life', but that he had learned from them and now cared more about being with Teddie than work. Teddie admitted that her dad being older can make her sad when she thinks about how much time she has left with him, but that she's realised he's 'not a normal 70-year-old.'
