The slip-on, ballet-style flat comes with a lightly gripped sole and a diamond cut out design. You can also choose from five colours: white, charcoal, pink, green and orange. At just a tenner, it is a fraction of the price of a £85 designer version by Ancient Greek Sandals spotted on Net-a-Porter. This pricey alternative also comes in a range of colours and is 'made for the beach with their rubbery, washable PVC.' The George at Asda affordable lookalike has already caught the attention of fashion TikTokers. One creator shared her find in-store, saying Asda is 'pulling through again,' sparking over 20,000 likes. Abby, who posts under @abbybella3, shared: 'I need to share with you girls what I've just bought. I am so happy with them. 'You girls are all gonna be like, 'What the f*** has she bought now?''

The ‘When in Marrakech' Edit with Moroccan Model Oumayma El Maadam
Math-student-turned-model Oumayma El Madaam styles outfits with lines, grids and composition in mind, treating fashion like a geometric theorem. At 24 years old, Oumayma El Maadam has already carved out a distinctive space in the fashion world as a stylist, content creator, model, and makeup artist. Her work spans multiple creative disciplines, reflecting a unique balance of structure and expression. 'I've always navigated multiple creative worlds, balancing the structured logic of math with the fluid, expressive nature of fashion and beauty,' El Maadam tells Scene Styled. El Maadam's journey began in the analytical world of mathematics before evolving into a career in fashion, where she collaborated with global names like Off-White and Daily Paper. 'Numbers and patterns intrigued me from an early age, and they continue to guide my approach to design, composition, and even beauty,' she says. 'While I once thought I'd chart a more analytical career path, fashion called to me with its freedom and complexity.' This interplay between logic and creativity has become central to her work, allowing her to explore the connections between the structured and the abstract. 'I like to think of my style as an evolving expression—much like an equation that's never fully solved,' she explains. Her personal style reflects this philosophy, leaning toward minimalism with moments of deliberate boldness. El Maadam gravitates toward brands like The Row, Haider Ackermann, and A Cold Wall, whose designs embody a thoughtful balance of simplicity, deconstruction, and cultural commentary. For her, clean lines and understated choices offer a foundation, while carefully curated layers—like a vintage find, a vibrant accessory, or an unexpected contrast—add depth and dimension. 'I see fashion as a quiet dialogue, one that communicates without speaking too loudly,' she notes. 'It's subtle, but it says a lot.' Through her work, El Maadam continues to explore the interplay between structure and creativity, carving out a space that feels uniquely her own while evolving with every step.
