Five bargain high-street fashion brands that A-list celebrities can't get enough of
WE all love a bargain and looking stylish for less.
And as it turns out, so do the very rich and very famous.
Celebrity style has long felt like it's out of our reach, as most of us don't have their budgets or a personal stylist to dress us - but that's changed.
Nowadays, you can find the world's most-in-demand models, Hollywood's elite and even royalty turning to the high street for their outfits.
And if it's good enough for them, it's good enough for us.
Here, Fashion Assistant Emily Regan reveals the high-street shops celebs love and what you need to be buying.
M ANGO
Last week Hailey Bieber, was papped nailing low-key dressing in this exact Mango trench - and it's still available to buy.
Hailey paired it with a basic white tank and this season's must-have capri pants, plus some black shades and a mini heel to complete the look.
And it appears that she's not the only one who's a fan of the high-street retailer.
In 2023, the fashion world went crazy when supermodel Gigi Hadid was spotted in THAT leather jacket from Mango, as shoppers rushed to get their hands on the £299.99 piece that sold out almost instantly.

In fact, there's a whole squad of stylish stars who are fans of high-street fashion, and it's not just jackets on their radar.
Supermodel, Emily Ratajkowski has also made her love for the brand be known, when last year she was papped in New York sporting a white, asymmetrical, embroidered summer dress by Mango, paired with red trainers.
And there's actually some stock left of the dress for a discounted rate of just £74.99 on Mango's Outlet site.
Although it's old season, it's a gorgeous dress that will be a staple in your summer wardrobe for years to come, so I'd recommend checking out soon as sizes are selling fast.
DUNE LONDON
Hollywood actress Daisy Edgar Jones was spotted in NYC last week sporting a chocolate-brown, woven shoulder bag from Dune London, which retails at £129.
With her phone in one hand and the iconic slouchy bag draped over her other shoulder, she was photographed about to get into a car wearing a casual burgundy leather jacket, high-waisted blue jeans and black loafers.
The shoes and accessories brand has seemingly become a celeb fave, also previously being worn by Gigi's lookalike sister Bella Hadid during a trip to Los Angeles.
It's a much more affordable dupe of the Bottega Hop bag which retails at £3,670, so it's no wonder it's now sold out eight times with a saving of over £3,500.
Three times a charm, American actress Katie Holmes swapped out her usual designer handbag for the XL version of the Deliberate bag, which now comes in five different colourways and with two inside pouches.
ZARA
Plus, fan-favourite retailer Zara appears to have earned the royal stamp of approval.
Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton, is well-known for her wardrobe, which blends high-end designer labels with more affordable, budget-friendly pieces.
Her love for its double-breasted boucle blazers has become noticeable - so much so that she has been spotted re-wearing them on multiple occasions and the style has become a staple, with the retailer offering them year on year in a range of colours.
The exact style is currently sold out (don't worry, we're sure it'll be back) but you can buy lots of similar versions HERE.
And she's not the only royal to wear the brand.
In her recent Netflix series With Love, Meghan the Duchess of Sussex can be seen dressed in pieces from Zara, too, notably a crinkled brown dress from the brand's premium S/S '24 collection, which unfortunately is now sold-out.

She refers to her 'high-low mix' style within the show, mentioning that she loves to pair budget-friendly pieces with more luxury items.
H&M
H&M is not shy of a designer collab or two, and in 2024, it marked 20 years of designer collaborations, including Karl Lagerfeld, Isabel Marant, Moschino, and most recently Magda Butrym.
However, H&M has since shifted it's focus, featuring some of the world's most famous faces as ambassadors for its seasonal drops.
This includes the likes of Charli XCX, Tyla and perhaps one of fashion's most famous Nepo babies, Lila Moss.
In October last year, Lila shared a photo to her Instagram, where she can be seen wearing a stylish, knitted polo shirt, while sitting outside a book store.
Despite looking uber-expensive, the polo shirt is actually from no other than H&M and retails at just £54.99.
If its good enough for Lila Moss, it's good enough for us.
Most sizes are sold-out, but there are still a couple of XS pieces left, so be quick.
RIXO
Rixo may be a little more on the pricier side, but when it comes to occasionwear, most of us don't mind spending a little more on the perfect piece.
Founded in 2015, the brand is reasonably new, but has soared quickly and now has three stores in the heart of London.
Most known for its hand-painted prints and vintage designs, it's easy to see why Rixo would be a winner for old-money aesthetic pro Sofia Grainge.
The model, who's also Lionel Richie's daughter, took to Instagram in 2022 wearing the Meg Leopard Midi Dress, and the post has gained over 80k likes.
Polka dots and leopard print are both huge for this summer, and blended together, this piece is sure to be a hit with shoppers.
And it comes in a petite length too for us shorter girlies.
Olivia Rodrigo has also been spotted wearing a bright, printed halterneck dress from Rixo with a detachable polka-dot scarf, on her recent holiday to Morocco.
With the warmer weather approaching, this piece is perfect for any upcoming occasions, and it comes in two other prints.
The combination of mixed prints and colours makes it an ideal choice for everything from weddings and races to an evening outfit while on holiday, just like Olivia!
This dress is a little pricier at £365, but fear not, the brand has a rental and resale platform so you can either rent one of their dresses from four to 30 days or buy it second-hand for less.
Kate Middleton's love of recycling clothes
KATE Middleton might be a Princess, but that certainly doesn't stop her from rewearing her favourite frocks.
Jenny Packham Gown: She first worn the frock to an ARK Gala Dinner in June 2011, and then rewore it three years later to the National Portrait Gallery in February 2014.
Alexander McQueen Coat Dress: Kate donned the beautiful number for Trooping the Colour in June 2016 and then just a year later, was spotted in it again for the Easter Service, in April 2017.
Temperley London Dress: She first wore the black lace dress at the War Horse Premiere, in January 2012, but then, just months later, donned it again, at the St. Andrews University Gala, in December 2012.
Hobbs Coat: Even Kate is a fan of a staple coat, as she's reworn a classic number from Hobbs, which she first wore on Christmas Day in December 2012, and then again on a visit to Newcastle, in October 2013.
Kate Middleton's sartorial choices continue to inspire many, proving that elegance and sustainability can go hand in hand.
