WE all love a bargain and looking stylish for less.
And as it turns out, so do the very rich and very famous.
style has long felt like it’s out of our reach, as most of us don’t have their budgets or a personal stylist to dress us – but that’s changed.
Nowadays, you can find the world’s most-in-demand models, elite and even royalty turning to the high street for their outfits.
And if it’s good enough for them, it’s good enough for us.
Here, Fashion Assistant reveals the high-street shops celebs love and what you need to be buying.
MANGO
In 2023, the fashion world went crazy when supermodel was spotted in THAT leather jacket from Mango, as shoppers rushed to get their hands on the £299.99 piece that sold out almost instantly.
But it appears that she’s not the only one who’s a fan of the high-street retailer, as last week, good friend of the model, , was papped nailing low-key dressing in this exact Mango trench – and it’s still available to buy.
Hailey paired it with a basic white tank and this season’s must-have , plus some black shades and a mini heel to complete the look.
In fact, there’s a whole squad of stylish stars who are fans of high-street fashion, and it’s not just jackets on their radar.
Supermodel, has also made her love for the brand be known, when last year she was papped in sporting a white, asymmetrical, embroidered summer dress by Mango, paired with red trainers.
And there’s actually some stock left of the dress for a discounted rate of just £74.99 on Mango’s Outlet site.
Although it’s old season, it’s a gorgeous dress that will be a staple in your summer wardrobe for years to come, so I’d recommend checking out soon as sizes are selling fast.
DUNE LONDON
Hollywood actress was spotted in NYC last week sporting a chocolate-brown, woven shoulder bag from Dune London, which retails at £129.
With her phone in one hand and the iconic slouchy bag draped over her other shoulder, she was photographed about to get into a car wearing a casual burgundy leather jacket, high-waisted blue jeans and black loafers.
The shoes and accessories brand has seemingly become a celeb fave, also previously being worn by Gigi’s lookalike sister during a trip to .
It’s a much more affordable dupe of the Hop bag which retails at £3,670, so it’s no wonder it’s now sold out eight times with a saving of over £3,500.
Three times a charm, American actress swapped out her usual designer handbag for the XL version of the Deliberate bag, which now comes in five different colourways and with two inside pouches.
ZARA
Plus, fan-favourite retailer appears to have earned the royal stamp of approval.
Princess of Wales, , is well-known for her wardrobe, which blends high-end designer labels with more affordable, budget-friendly pieces.
Her love for its double-breasted boucle blazers has become noticeable – so much so that she has been spotted re-wearing them on multiple occasions and the style has become a staple, with the retailer offering them year on year in a range of colours.
The exact style is currently sold out (don’t worry, we’re sure it’ll be back) but you can buy lots of similar versions HERE.
And she’s not the only to wear the brand.
In her recent series With Love, Meghan the can be seen dressed in pieces from Zara, too, notably a crinkled brown dress from the brand’s premium S/S ’24 collection, which unfortunately is now sold-out.
She refers to her “high-low mix”; style within the show, mentioning that she loves to pair budget-friendly pieces with more luxury items.
H&M
H&M is not shy of a designer collab or two, and in 2024, it marked 20 years of designer collaborations, including , Isabel Marant, , and most recently Magda Butrym.
However, H&M has since shifted it’s focus, featuring some of the world’s most famous faces as ambassadors for its seasonal drops.
This includes the likes of , and perhaps one of fashion’s most famous Nepo babies, .
In October last year, Lila shared a photo to her Instagram, where she can be seen wearinga stylish, knitted polo shirt, while sitting outside a book store.
Despite looking uber-expensive, the polo shirt is actually from no other than H&M and retails at just £54.99.
If its good enough for Lila Moss, it’s good enough for us.
Most sizes are sold-out, but there are still a couple of XS pieces left, so be quick.
RIXO
may be a little more on the pricier side, but when it comes to occasionwear, most of us don’t mind spending a little more on the perfect piece.
Founded in 2015, the brand is reasonably new, but has soared quickly and now has three stores in the heart of .
Most known for its hand-painted prints and vintage designs, it’s easy to see why Rixo would be a winner for old-money aesthetic pro .
The model, who’s also daughter, took to in 2022 wearing the Meg Leopard Midi Dress, and the post has gained over 80k likes.
Polka dots and are both huge for this summer, and blended together, this piece is sure to be a hit with shoppers.
And it comes in a petite length too for us shorter girlies.
has also been spotted wearing a bright, printed halterneck dress from Rixo with a detachable polka-dot scarf, on her recent holiday to .
With the warmer weather approaching, this piece is perfect for any upcoming occasions, and it comes in two other prints.
The combination of mixed prints and colours makes it an ideal choice for everything from weddings and races to an evening outfit while on holiday, just like Olivia!
This dress is a little pricier at £365, but fear not, the brand has a rental and resale platform so you can either rent one of their dresses from four to 30 days or buy it second-hand for less.
