The fashion detail loved by celebs that is all over the catwalks – shop 8 dupes from the high street

THEY say the devil is in the detail and this season is no exception.

From punks to premium brands, the humble stud is back in a big way for autumn. 

Its tough-look reputation, synonymous with ’80s fashion, has been softened by teaming it with sumptuous suede and pale denim.

Designer brands from Khaite to Chloe and Miu Miu have covered their autumn/winter clothes, bags and accessories in studs. 

Be it silver or gold, the trend is now sweeping the high street with affordable buys.

Here, Fabulous’ Fashion Editor Clemmie Fieldsend brings the trend to your fingertips with her pick of the essential studded buys. 

The pumps

£39.50, M&S – BUY NOW

The dupes of £920 Alaia ballet pumps reigned supreme last year and they’re still key for this season. 

But instead of diamante, reflective stone – swap them for studs. 

Paired with barrel jeans, wide-leg trousers, dresses or skirts, they will transform an outfit you already have in your wardrobe to being on-trend. 

The skirt

£54.99, H&M – BUY NOW

We’re all about minis, tights and boots for autumn, and this skirt is elevated above the rest with its embellishment. 

It will look ultra-cool with an oversized jumper, or a blazer that is long enough to hit the skirt’s hemline for an effortless, polished feel.

The bag

£35.99, Zara – BUY NOW

This season is all about rich, deep colours, like burgundy and brown.

This studded bag from Zara has the look of luxury with its deep chocolate hue and will work with both shades. 

The addition of the silver hardware will also break up outfits with lots of dark, dense colour, which we tend to gravitate towards in winter. 

The clogs

If the footwear of A-listers at Chloe’s A/W ’24 fashion show is anything to go by, it looks like the clog has returned. 

Follow the Chloe crowd (but ditch the £990 shoes for this dupe), and soften the heaviness that comes with the clog’s colour, design and actual weight by pairing with a floaty boho dress.

£55, Mint Velvet – BUY NOW

If you’re a fan of the Khaite studded belt, but don’t want to spend £520, look to Mint Velvet for this £55 alternative. 

It’s brilliant for tapping into this trend and transforming your trousers, while drawing attention to your waist and creating a stylish silhouette.  

The jeans

£79.99, Mango – BUY NOW

From girl group B*Witched’s denim to Y2K rhinestones, studded jeans have come in many forms throughout fashion history. 

This season, channel your inner Beyoncé cowgirl and think more subtle and Western. 

Pair with a matching shirt or suede jacket for optimum rodeo points.

The heels

£155, & Other Stories – BUY NOW

Don’t slip into your boots just yet – there’s still time for mules. 

In a mix of silver and gold, the studs will work with whatever your go-to jewellery metal is, making getting dressed that little bit easier. 

These mules sit on a wider base than the top of the shoe, similar to the design of cowboy boots, giving them a western feel but with the added height and elegance of heels.

The jacket

£59.99, Stradivarius – BUY NOW

This studded denim jacket is so versatile -wear on its own as an alternative to a shirt or as a cover-up. 

The oversized pockets are the detailing that make it look more expensive – plus, Stradivarius has also embellished the back, adding to its designer vibe.  

What’s the best style that suits everyone?

ACCORDING to the fashion pros at Fabulous, there’s a new style of dress that suits all body shapes.

Low-slung, dropped-waist silhouette styles have surged, thanks to the Noughties fashion trend that has swept the catwalks, social media and, of course, the high street. 
First seen on the runways of luxury labels Molly Goddard and Jil Sander, the style typically cinches around the hip and pelvic area rather than the waist. 
Now a plethora of more affordable options of the dress that suits a number of body shapes have dropped just as the sun starts to come out. 
Clemmie Fieldsend, Fashion Editor, said: “There’s something so stylish about these dresses, and I love them. 
“The simplicity of the top half teamed with the full skirt is like a sleeker and more grown-up tutu. 
“I have a short torso so the dropped waist makes my body look longer, but, thankfully, the long skirt means your legs don’t look shorter. 
“Plus it means I can tap into the low-waist trend without baring all in a pair of low-slung jeans.
“I know I’ll be living in mine all summer, paired with black sandals and sunnies, but for now all I need is a blazer slipped over the top and a closed-toe shoe and I’m ready to go.”
Meanwhile, Fashion Director, Tracey Lea Sayer, added: “I remember dropped-waist dresses from the 80s. I loved them then and I still love them again now! 
“Forty years on from when they were first popular and I am not so sure they will be quite as flattering around my middle, because two kids and middle-aged spread later, my waist doesn’t exist any more.
“With a dress like this I can disguise my middle bit and still feel on trend for summer.”
