Ex-Corrie star Lucy Fallon tips fans on £42 Versace heel dupes

Asos shoppers have fallen head over heels for a pair of fuschia pink heels - including ex-Coronation Street actress Lucy Fallon.

The pink satin platforms are a practically identical copy of high end luxury fashion brand Versace’s ‘Medusa’ platforms, which retail at an eye watering £1,080.

But Asos’s Pluto platform heeled shoes in magenta are a much more affordable way to get the look, priced at £42.

The heels quickly kept selling out, but Bethany Platt actress Lucy had her finger on the pulse the moment they came back in stock.

She told her 522,000 Instagram followers: “I was gonna gatekeep these but thought I’d be nice. My good pal @rachelllfinch just informed me that these Versace dupes are back in stock in all sizes.

“And if ur obsessed with the Versace ones like me but don't fancy breaking the bank to break your neck, here u go.”

The party platforms are available in sizes 2 to 9, and feature a ‘very high block heel’ and adjustable ankle strap.

Subtle differences between them and their expensive counterpart are that the Versace version sees the ankle strap adorned with rhinestones, and a golden Medusa charm dangling from it.

Even still, Asos shoppers were quick to draw comparisons between the two, with one writing: “These shoes are cute dupes for the Versace platforms love them.”

Another added: “I bought them a month ago and finally received them today and let me tell you I am in love! Can’t wait for hot summer nights. They are a great dupe for the Versace ones, great quality and comfortable.”

“I’m in love with the style.” wrote a third. “I love platforms and this style is comfortable despite the height.”

Asos shoppers can bag the same style heels in a black faux leather , also for £42, while a floral satin design is currently on sale for £35.70.
