It’s my new style hack.

When it comes to versatile shoe trends, I can always count on Kate Middleton for sophisticated (and practical) inspiration. From flattering fall boots to statement flats, the Princess of Wales is always outfitted in the chicest footwear. Earlier this year, Kate Middleton stepped out in the Fall ‘It’ shoe I can’t stop thinking about. The royal wore a pair of beige, sling-back pumps that gave a flattering, leg-elongating illusion, which she expertly paired with a purple midi dress from Safiyaa.
The celebrity-loved naked dress trend is still going strong, but Princess Kate’s naked shoes are a practical way to wear pumps while enhancing your legs. Given her heels' beige color, the shoes look undetectable against her skin. Kate Middleton isn’t alone in her affinity for beige heels. Celebrities including Jennifer Aniston and J.Lo have also tried the style, wearing platform versions of the flattering shoe trend over the summer.
Middleton’s dainty, barely-there closed-toe heels are perfect for fall, and with Black Friday in full swing and a slew of holiday parties just around the corner, I’m wasting no time shopping for a pair. I’ve rounded up my favorite beige pumps and beige options, including an InStyle editor-loved heel and options less than $50. Ahead, nine Kate Middleton lookalike heels, starting at just $32.

Sam Edelman Bianka Sling Shoe
Zappos
As an owner of these Sam Edelman slingbacks, I can say that they’ve become my go-to heel for a night out. The shoes come in a range of colors (I have a shiny black patent pair), but Kate Middleton has inspired me to add the soft beige kitten heels to my cart. For Black Friday, it's 32 percent off, bringing the price down to under $100.
Lifestride Sevyn Pump
These top-rated Amazon heels are currently 54 percent off. They're a great option if you’re looking for a bit more height without a slingback. The comfy heels are made with Lifestride’s Soft System, which provides a cushioned footbed, extra arch and heel support, and flexible outsoles.
Franco Sarto Racer Slingback Pointed Toe Pump
Nordstrom
Franco Sarto is one of my favorite comfortable shoe brands, and they have a lookalike option to Princess Kate’s beige pumps. The pointed-toe shoes have an adjustable slingback strap, and though Middleton wore a slim kitten heel, these low-block pumps provide extra support. You can shop the heels for 40 percent off right now, and check out more royalty-worthy picks below while you’re at it.
