Love the look of Miu Miu’s iconic ballet flats, but not so much the price? I’ve found a number of great dupes for the designer shoes so you can get the best of both worlds, with lookalikes of the classic satin ballet flats, belted ballerinas and embellished flats. It’s no secret that Miu Miu’s ballet flats are the shoe of the season. Every celebrity under the sun from Kate Moss to Zoe Kravtiz have been spotted wearing the luxe satin ballet pumps. With the rise of TikTok’s viral #balletcore aesthetic, Miu Miu is the perfect brand to help you jump on the dainty ballet flat revival.

Unfortunately for anyone on a budget, they’re between £660 for the classic satin pair and an eye-watering £1,250 for the beautiful embellished style. Ouch. But don’t worry there are plenty of stylish Miu Miu dupes on the high street so you still have a chance to try out the balletcore trend and pirouette with a feminine-yet-functional pair of flats.

As someone who grew up watching Barbie The Nutcracker and Barbie in the Twelve Dancing Princesses, I understand the appeal of ballet outfits but they’re a little cooler in 2024. If you scroll through the videos under the TikTok hashtag, you’ll find videos of TikTokers embracing hyper-feminine styles with a heavy focus on romanticism. An idealised version of the ballerina style includes corsets, flowing skirts, and tulle dresses. But it isn’t always about pastels; the ballet flats comeback fits more into the late-noughties revival side of balletcore, with a little more edge this time around.

The best thing about ballet flats is that they can be dressed up or down. Whether you’re feeling romantic or laid back, a good pair adds a little grace to any outfit.If you don’t want to shell out £700 for a pair of Miu Miu flats, we’ve rounded up the best affordable alternatives that cost under £100. Keep scrolling for our favourites, but first take a look at the originals.
