These high street sandals look exactly like the £610 designer pair fashion people come back to year after year
Open up Instagram right now and you'll see any fashion person with an appreciation for minimalist and timeless designs wearing the same pair of sandals. Created in 1997 by Pierre Hardy, the Hermès Oran sandal has transcended the trend cycle like no other summer shoe, cementing its place in the warm-weather wardrobes of Meghan Markle, Kendall Jenner and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley.
They're easy to slip on with just about anything from jeans and a white linen shirt to poplin midi dresses, with the sleek silhouette and now-iconic 'H' cut-out detail elevating even the simplest of outfits. (Yes, even shorts and a swimsuit.)

The Oran sandals are made by hand in Italy, available in 34 colours, from the classic tan shade to more brighter options such as a coral orange and fuchsia pink, and have become a cult purchase despite their designer hefty price tag (a pair retails between £610 and £1,120).
And while no brand can match Hermès's exclusivity, quality and craftsmanship, there are some equally chic and more affordable alternatives available on the high street this season. Most come in a variety of versatile colours such as whites, browns, black and metallics, but there is the occasional pop of colour too.
Either way, keep scrolling to take your pick.

Gogglebox star set to be a millionaire as he splashes out on TWO houses
GOGGLEBOX favourite Pete Sandiford's making the most of his amazing telly success, which has seen his bank balance boosted considerably. Appearing alongside his sister Sophie, 29, The Sun can reveal how Pete, 30, is on course to becoming a millionaire. 3 3 3 The much-loved siblings joined Gogglebox in 2017, and have been a huge hit ever since. Reaping the rewards of his popularity, the Blackpool native has made sure that any money he's made from the show hasn't gone to waste. He's proved to be a shrewd businessman - especially when it comes to property. The Sun can reveal how the TV star has recently opened up his own investment firm Corgi Real Estate. He has also invested in a house in Fleetwood and an apartment in nearby Thornton-Cleveleys, each worth £80,000. Pete has also capitalises on any earnings he makes from his TV career by setting up Corgi Media Ltd. Nevertheless, the star's daytime job isn't just appearing on Gogglebox - which he's only contracted to do 15 hours a week - but as a roofer and builder. He's got a business alongside a pal called TJ Joinery & Construction (NW) Ltd. The firm is going along very nicely and in its first set of accounts filed a £88,475 profit. Pete can't quit his regular job as he gets just £1,500 for each episode of Gogglebox, which is split with Sophie, so it's only right when he once said 'I have got to pay my mortgage somehow.' Gogglebox's Pete Sandiford reveals he's become a dad for a second time Pete and Sophie first appeared on their sofa - and bright yellow chair - in 2017 for the 10th season of Gogglebox. They quickly became popular with fans of the show for their quick wit and hilarious interactions. Aside from his humour, Pete won fans with his emotional side that he is never afraid to show. The duo aren't the only Sandiford siblings - they have another brother and sister called Harry and Lucy who do not appear on the show. Despite his popularity on Gogglebox, Pete still finds fame peculiar. "I am just a builder from Blackpool, so it is a bit strange when celebrities know us, " he once said. "I was on a roof yesterday."

EXCLUSIVE Sir Bob Geldof launches a blistering attack on Elon Musk as he labels him a 'w***er' and a 'ketamine crazed fool'
Sir Bob Geldof has launched a blistering attack on Elon Musk labelling him a 'w***er' and a 'ketamine-crazed fool'. The Boomtown Rats frontman made the remarks at the opening night of Just For One Day: The Live Aid Musical at the Shaftesbury theatre in London's West End. The 73-year-old rocker took particular exception to Elon's cuts to the US aid budget during his time at the White House heading the Department of Government Efficiency. He also criticised the Tesla boss for his recent remarks when Musk said: 'The fundamental weakness of Western civilization is empathy, the empathy exploit.' Firing back Bob took aim at Elon, he said: 'A couple of weeks ago, that prime wanker Elon Musk said something seriously wrong. He said the great weakness of Western civilisation is empathy.' 'The great weakness? You ketamine-crazed fool! You sociopathic loser! Empathy is the glue of civilisation. Empathy is the glue of humanity.' From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the Daily Mail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'It's how we do things together. It's how we sit here together and clap because we actually understand that this is the stuff that works. The musical, which has finished a run in Toronto, Canada last year, gives 10 per cent of its ticket revenues to the Band Aid charity and has already raised almost £1 million. Bob said: 'The money these people have raised has already - in the place that was the epicentre of the famine in 1984 - they've already built hospitals and schools and stuff like that with the money by doing their job tonight. That's what they've achieved.' The musician then turned his sights on President Trump for his decision to remove funding for USAid on February 1, and Prime Minister Starmer for cuts to overseas aid spending. Bob said: 'On the February 1 this year, the strongest nation in the world, the most powerful man on Earth, and the richest person ever in the history of the planet decided to declare war on the poorest, the weakest, and the most vulnerable people on the planet. I despise them.' 'The net result of that is that Boston University, and reported in the New York Times, is that since February, because they cut out overnight when US Aid websites went dark and fired everyone. 'Since that day a couple of months ago, 300,000 people have died because of Musk, because of Trump, because of Vance. and Marco Rubio is lying when they say people have not died. 'When they say they are sending food to the starving children of Sudan, who are being held captive and starved to death. 'That's a lie. They are not. So it's down to us to scrape together a million quid. The Irishman said it was a 'great shame' that Keir Starmer had cut aid budgets. He added: 'It can't work like that. It doesn't have to work like that. And it began not working like that in 1985. 'This is Great Britain. This country can do anything. It led the way for many years, and times are really tough. Believe me. Times are really hard, but we don't let ourselves go. And these people aren't, and you didn't tonight.' In the new musical Sir Bob is played by Craige Els, who the rock star described as 'amazing' for the portrayal of him as a 'cartoon arsehole in double denim just saying 'f***', basically'. Live Aid, was originally held in Philadelphia as well as at Wembley Stadium on 13 July 1985, and has been turned into a stage musical. Titled Just For One Day, the musical relives the day when the likes of Bob Dylan, David Bowie, The Who, U2, Queen, Elton John, Paul McCartney, Diana Ross and more united on stage to raise funds and awareness for the Ethiopian famine crisis. The plot of the production, which takes its name from a line in David Bowie's song Heroes, combines a behind-the-scenes look at how Band Aid and Live Aid came together with a love story inspired by real events.
