I've found an affordable £36 version of Sofia Richie's £920 rhinestone Alaia ballet flats

Sofia Richie is the queen of quiet luxury and I've been coveting her £920 rhinestone-covered Alaia flats. Luckily, I've found the perfect affordable alternative - and they're £36

In a recent TikTok video, Sofia gave fans a look at one of her favourite spring outfits, which included a lilac lightweight knit jumper, wide-leg black trousers, and an oversized iconic Chanel bag. I could already picture numerous outfits that these ballet pumps would complement, but with a budget that certainly didn't stretch to nearly £1k for a pair of shoes, I set out on a mission to find a more affordable alternative. It's also worth noting that the pair from Stradivarius are made from faux leather, whilst the Alaia ones are real lambskin which generally means they'll be slightly more supple and harder wearing.
