Pride of Britain’s 2025 red carpet is underway, and Strictly Come Dancing pro Amy Dowden has stepped out in a pair of affordable high street heels you can still shop for £42
Although the Pride of Britain awards ceremony won’t be available to watch until later this week, the event is well underway in London right now, with stars already hitting the red carpet. One of the first to arrive was Strictly Come Dancing professional Amy Dowden, who paired her purple Maria Lucia Hohan gown with a pair of affordable high street heels.
Amy tagged her outfit details on Instagram, revealing that her sparkly stilettos were from River Island. A quick search reveals that they look to be the Gold Diamante Strappy Heeled Sandals which you can still shop in all sizes for a budget-friendly £42.

The rhinestone-covered heels have multiple slim straps that wrap around the foot giving a barely-there illusion, with the gems adding a subtle bit of sparkle to any outfit. With the festive season coming up, we have no doubt these would be the perfect addition to any Christmas party outfit.
The open toe and strappy design of the Gold Diamante Strappy Heeled Sandals means you can wear them with jeans and a top to help elevate an otherwise more casual outfit to make it party-appropriate. Or you could follow in Amy’s footsteps (quite literally) by wearing them with a maxi-length dress.
The gold backdrop and sparkly diamantes on the Strappy Heeled Sandals also makes them easy to wear with just about any colour, and you can easily pick complementary jewellery and accessories to finish the look. They come in sizes ranging from a two to a nine, and you can also pick them up in a wide fit for those with broader feet.
You can also pick up similar styles elsewhere, with the Where’s That From ‘Summer’ Stiletto High Heels With Rhinestone Strap now on sale at Debenhams. Currently down from £65.99 to £27.99, they heels have a similar design to Amy’s, and you can choose from both gold and silver versions.
Meanwhile at ASOS, the Simmi London Yara Barely There Embellished Sandals are £35 and come in silver. The White Diamantè Embellished Triple Strap Stiletto Sandals are £23 down from £39.99 at New Look, on the other hand, are white with silver diamantes and adjustable buckles at the ankle.
However Amy’s River Island Gold Diamante Strappy Heeled Sandals are the perfect combination of fun and party ready whilst still being wearable and easy to style all year round. And for £42, we’re ready to add them to our party season wardrobe immediately.
