Whether we’d like to admit it or not, shoes are an essential part of any outfit.
As the wrong pair can almost be catastrophic and can create a mark on what perhaps may have been an entirely perfect attire.
That is why there are those who believe that to find chic and attractive shoes, they require more time and money in order to reflect their ultra-glamorous fashion sense.

However, budget clothing retailer Primark have released a new pair of embellished pumps that not only cost £12, but fans have also pointed out the shoes’ reference to one of trendiest fictional characters in pop culture history.
On Primark’s official Instagram account, the retail chain posted a photo of the pointed embellished shoes n black, along with a caption:
“Level up any outfit with our stunning embellished shoes, only £12/€16/$18 #Primark #InStoreNow”
Fans and shoppers alike have flooded the comments’ section, garnering the post 12.3k likes and counting, as they couldn’t help but contain their excitement.
In particular, commenters were in awe by Primark’s choice of design, which was consistently compared to a luxury shoe brand that was famously worn by actor Sarah Jessica Parker’s Carrie Bradshaw on the hit HBO series Sex and the City.
One user wrote: “Carrie Bradshaw vibes here”, alongside a love struck emoji, while another user chimed in “Total Carrie Bradshaw vibes!!”
The remarks are in reference to the ultimate Carrie Bradshaw shoes- the Manolo Blahniks.
Costing a whopping £795, the Manolo Blahnik Hangisi 105 satin courts continue to be a bestseller even in recent years.
Its standout silk texture, crystal embellishment and pointed toe have forever been regarded as an instant classic among SATC fans.
One commenter even noted: “Primark coming through with the manolo dupes xxx” with another adding: “These look much more than £12 *shocked face emoji* amazing”
Others have already flocked, or are planning to dash to their nearest Primark stores to grab a pair… or plenty.
One user enthusiastically explained: “I bought them in black and white already and am obsessed with them @primark”, while another enthused “I nearly bought these the other day, wish I had them now. I'll get them next time I go”
Meanwhile, a third user simply expressed their pure admiration for the shoes by writing: “I don't know what I need them for… but I need them”, alongside a heart emoji.
