These high street sandals look exactly like the £610 designer pair fashion people come back to year after year
They're easy to slip on with just about anything from jeans and a white linen shirt to poplin midi dresses, with the sleek silhouette and now-iconic 'H' cut-out detail elevating even the simplest of outfits. (Yes, even shorts and a swimsuit.)

The Oran sandals are made by hand in Italy, available in 34 colours, from the classic tan shade to more brighter options such as a coral orange and fuchsia pink, and have become a cult purchase despite their designer hefty price tag (a pair retails between £610 and £1,120).
And while no brand can match Hermès's exclusivity, quality and craftsmanship, there are some equally chic and more affordable alternatives available on the high street this season. Most come in a variety of versatile colours such as whites, browns, black and metallics, but there is the occasional pop of colour too.
Either way, keep scrolling to take your pick.

How the ABC bungled a $4billion payday - as Aussie show among the biggest in the world makes major move
The ABC has been left red-faced after the UK channel that airs Bluey announced it is set to make even more money off one of Australia's most successful cultural exports. This week, the BBC revealed plans to transform Bluey into a full-fledged lifestyle brand, marking another major commercial leap for the animated juggernaut. Alongside the expansion of its already booming merchandise empire, a Bluey feature film is now in the works, set to be released in 2027 and distributed globally by Disney. In just 2024 alone, Bluey was the driving force behind a bumper $4billion in commercial profits for BBC Studios through global licensing, product deals, and themed experiences. That staggering haul is more than four times the annual budget of the ABC, which is funded by the federal government and Australian taxpayers. The ABC was among the original co-commissioners of Bluey, which first aired in 2018, but failed to secure any significant merchandising deals. Despite being developed and produced in Brisbane by Ludo Studio, most of the benefits of show's commercial success has flowed offshore. Since its debut, Bluey has become a global sensation, celebrated for its heartwarming storytelling, gentle humour, and uniquely Australian character. Bluey-branded merchandise ranges from plush toys and puzzles to camping gear, clothing, and even nappies. In 2024, a large-scale Bluey-themed attraction, Bluey's World, opened in Brisbane, and was recently named one of Time Magazine's 'World's Greatest Places' for 2025. In the same year, Bluey was the number one most viewed show in the United States, recording more than 55billion minutes of viewing time on Disney+. 'From a retail sales standpoint, we are generating about £2.7bn in global retail sales across our entire portfolio and Bluey is a really, really big chunk of that,' Suzy Raia, who heads global consumer products at BBC Studios, told The Guardian. Yet despite its deep Australian roots, the ABC has reaped little financial reward from Bluey's explosive global success. As reported by The Courier-Mail in February, the ABC made no attempt to secure merchandising rights during the show's early development. Then-managing director David Anderson was present at the meeting where Bluey was first pitched to the network. 'We don't make money out of Bluey,' Anderson told the ABC in 2023. 'What Bluey does is provide joy to children and families all over the country and now all over the world. And that would be priceless.' In 2024, ABC Chair Kim Williams addressed the Australian Press Club, warning of declining public funding for the broadcaster and calling for greater government support. Just a few months later in June, the ABC slashed at least 50 jobs in a round of budget cuts, under the new leadership of Managing Director Hugh Marks. Among the casualties was the long-running current affairs program Q&A, once a flagship forum for national political and cultural debate. In an email sent to ABC staff, Marks justified the changes were part of the ABC stepping back from 'areas that no longer align with our priorities'.

Woman leaves wedding guests in disbelief as she wears white dress to her niece's nuptials and says people criticising her are 'just jealous'
A woman who attended her niece's wedding in a white dress has been slammed for 'stealing the spotlight'. The woman, from the US, turned up at the nuptials in floor length embroidered gown, which many people are describing as bridal. Images from the wedding were shared on Reddit where people were left questioning if she was the bride. A slew of snaps of the unnamed relative was shared on the forum with one showing her standing next to the bride in a simple short white gown, which was far less flamboyant then the guest's cream gown, which was complete with rhinestone crystal detailing and a dramatic train. After sharing pictures from the wedding to Facebook, the guest then 'doubled down' after being called out for the inappropriate wedding attire, saying she 'made a Facebook post about how women shouldn't tear each other down'. Her Facebook post read: 'No one hates you more than the women who can't compete with you. They watch your every move, talk nonstop-because if they talked about themselves, no one would listen. 'Let them bark from behind. Real queens don't tear each other mistresses do. Let's shine babe, keeps being pretty.' Many rushed to the comments to say the guest 'successfully upstaged the bride' and showed 'no class'. One person said: 'I bet the horrid woman successfully upstaged the bride. That dress is stunning and even has a freaking train. Someone should have stepped on the train.' Another added: 'The train takes away all benefit of the doubt... this lady is showing no class.' Someone else added: 'Whyyyyy would anybody wear a dress with a train to someone else's wedding? Incredibly rude'. Many revealed they confused the bride as the 'rude' guest because her dress was less formal than her wedding guests. One person wrote: 'Yes and I'd guess the guest was way overdressed if the brides outfit is anything to go by. Looks a bit more informal than the guests dress. Who does a custom gown for a wedding? Another said: 'That's a gorgeous dress but I thought she was the bride.' A fourth added: 'Thought it was a lesbian couple both in dresses.' Someone else added: 'I found the post on Facebook and saw some pictures of her with her husband from the same wedding, and her husband was wearing a short sleeve button down shirt with slacks. 'Like he looked well put together and everything, but definitely a different vibe than the red-carpet-worthy custom gown this Main Character wore. 'Honestly based on the bride's dress his outfit was probably more in line with the wedding dress code.'
