Pamela Anderson just copied Kate Middleton's style with her go-to handbag
Both Pamela Anderson and Princess Kate have been spotted with this chic white handbag, and the versatile bag is surprisingly affordable considering its A-list fan base They might not have been a fashion pairing we'd expect, but it turns out that both Pamela Anderson and Kate Middleton have more in common than it first appears. Whilst out and about in New York last week, Pamela was spotted carrying Strathberry's Mosaic Bag, which just so happens to be a firm favourite of the Princess of Wales. Whilst Pamela styled hers with a metallic turquoise midi skirt and voluminous pale blue top, Princess Kate paired hers with a tonal all-white outfit whilst at the 'Together At Christmas ' Carol Service at Westminster Abbey in 2023. Both women opted for the vanilla shade of the handbag, showing just how versatile and easy to style it is. Despite its decidedly A-list fanbase, the bag is actually reasonably priced compared to some other designer totes carried by famous faces. You can pick up the regular Mosaic Bag for £485, or you can choose the smaller Nano Mosaic Bag for £395 if you want an even more affordable option. We also spotted some great alternatives, such as Kate Spade's Madison Small Dolly Duffle Crossbody Bag which currently has a huge discount that sees the price slashed from £349 to £99. Alternatively, Aldo's Cocktailchic Bag is now £66.50 down from £99, whilst the Aubrielle Metallic-Buckle Top Handle Bag from Charles & Keith is priced at £75. However, all of the Mosaic Bags are made from 100% calf leather and are handmade in Spain which gives them that luxury edge and justifies the slightly higher price tag. The geometric design was inspired by Scottish artists working with mosaics, and features carefully placed leather panels to create the shape. If Pamela and Princess Kate's vanilla shade isn't for you, there are a huge 12 different shades to pick from, not to mention different textures such as croc effect, suede and grained leather. The bag also comes with a detachable leather strap, which allows you to carry it either as a top-handle bag or as a crossbody, making it versatile. Gold hardware details add to the high-end look, whilst a soft microfibre lining stops your belongings getting scuffed and scratched whilst inside. There's also a zipped internal pocket to safely store valuables. For a truly unique look, you can also opt for personalisation on the Mosaic Bags, including adding additional straps, bag tags, and even getting your initials embossed into the leather. With a 4.9 out of 5 star rating, it's also clearly a hit with shoppers. One said: 'I was a little worried it would be too dark for summer. But I love the Khaki colour. The size is really good, it could fit more than just a wallet and phone. Quality is beautifully made. I would love to own a sky blue for a Mosaic bag too. Would go with all my colourful summer dresses and jeans.' Another agreed: 'Timeless! I am absolutely in-love with my new mosaic bag in brown chocolate with vanilla stitch. It's very versatile & functional for my everyday use & the quality is top notch. It's worth it & such a classic investment. Thank you Strathberry.' Some found a little inconsistency with the stitching, with one writing: 'The stiching in the corners were uneven. One corner had a wide gap.' However, the reviews have all been overwhelmingly positive, with another saying: 'I think this bag is extremely elegant. Finishing of this bag was perfect with quality. The bag is spacious and practical.' Shop the Mosaic Bag for £485 now.

Fashion lovers and Samba fans on social media have been quick to leave their opinions on these conterversial shoes, with some calling it that they'll be the 'shoe of the summer ' and others comparing them to children's school shoes. I'm an Adidas samba wearer and lover myself, so I'm actually a fan of this pair myself. I love that feel silghtly girlier and feminine than sambas, but definitely look comfier than a traditional pair of Mary Janes thanks to the gum sole. If this style is up your street, you'll be pleased to know that tonnes of other brands have similar styles that toe the line between sporty and girly, and we've rounded up a few of our favourites. Charles & Keith Available for £75 here Not only are the sneakerinas a huge trend, but so are metallic shoes, so these silver satin sneakers from Charles & Keith combine both trends in one. If the silver isn't really your style, they are also available in a classic black colourway. Puma Dua Lipa posted an Instagram carousel sporting the Puma Speedcat Ballet Shoes, showing that she's given this controversial trend her seal of approval. Dua's exact metallic silver ones are currently out of stock, but we've found some suede pink ones from Puma that still perfectly fit into the trend. Vivaia Cristina Satin Sneakerinas Bella Hadid was spotted wearing this reasonably affordable £119 pair from Vivaia. And not only is Bella a huge fan of Vivaia's pair, but so is Charli XCX, who was seen sporting two different pairs in the Coachella desert. The Vivaia shoes have been crafted a smooth satin fabric like classic ballet shoes, but sit upon on a rubber sole like a trainer. The result? A sporty-looking ballet flat that perfectly combines feminine and athletic fashion.
