Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Judging by the sequined, feathered and walking-disco ball dresses lining shop hangers, party season has officially arrived – and Mango’s cult Gucci-inspired slingback heels are finally back in stock just in time for your first festive soiree.
Selling out twice since launching late-summer, the sparkly slingbacks have become ubiquitous among influencers and fashion heads alike, thanks to their designer look and pocket-friendly price.
Characterised by their pointed toe, kitten heel height (one of 2022’s best comeback trends) and slingback silhouette, the dainty shoes are finished in a luxe mesh fabric with glitter detailing.
Adding the final flourish to your party ensembles, the magic of Mango’s Nineties-style shoes lies in their versatility – we’ll be styling them with everything from straight leg jeans and sparkly mini dresses to silky slips and leather trousers.
But best of all, while Gucci’s slingback pump costs an eye-water £790, Mango’s high-street alternative will set you back just £59.99. Here’s everything you need to know about the designer-inspired dupe.

Back in stock in all sizes, Mango’s glitter high-heeled shoes boast a semi-transparent design with party-ready sparkly decorative appliques. With their 4cm kitten heel, you’ll not sacrifice any comfort on your night out, while the sleek slingback design keeps them securely on your feet (even after you have one too many negronis).
Elevating your Christmas party ensemble by adding a luxe Nineties-touch, the pumps lend themselves to baggy jeans, sparkly minis or slinky slips. For under £60, you’ll find no better shoe to totter around in this party season.
Gucci women’s GG slingback pump: £790, Gucci.com
Inspired by the shoe silhouettes of the Nintenies and early Noughties, Gucci’s crystal adorned slingbacks have graced the feet of everyone from Alexa Chung to Dakota Johnson. At £790, they’re quite the splurge – but if you’re looking for a party shoe to carry you through season-after-season, it may just be worth it.
Finished in black lace mesh with crystals forming GG motifs, the slingbacks are complete with a leather sole, low kitten heel and ankle buckle. Glamorous, versatile and (according to those lucky enough to own a pair) supremely comfortable, their “It” status is unrivalled.
