When it comes to timeless elegance, we think of one brand in particular. It is, of course, Chanel. The fashion house's ability to remain a constant influence in the fashion industry is undisputed.
So, it was no surprise that at last years 76th Cannes Film Festival, we spotted Lily Rose-Depp (the brand's poster girl) wearing Chanel's Slingback Heels. The beloved 1950s favourite silhouette has been in-demand for some years now, but Depp just reminded us of why these shoes are always in style.
For the premier of HBO's show, The Idol, Depp wore a black pair of Chanel Slingback Heels with a simple black Chanel dress and black sunglasses. Sometimes, less really is more.
Spending upwards of £800 for a pair of shoes is, however, fairly unrealistic, no matter how much we want to dress like our favourite celebrities. So, we were delighted to find the perfect Chanel Slingback replica on in the form of H&M Block Slingback Heels.
