BEYONCE’S cat eye sunglasses can elevate any outfit – but buying a pair may not leave you with much money to splurge on clothes.
Fortunately, her eyewear from a luxury Italian brand has inspired a variety of affordable dupes.
Beyonce wowed her 317 million Instagram followers when she posted a snap taken while in The Hamptons with Jay-Z.
She teamed a white dress from the fashion brand Charo Ruiz Ibiza with a bandana and sunglasses from Miu Miu.
Millions of people liked the 60s-inspired outfit, with one commenter describing it as “cute” and another saying she looked “gorgeous.”
Miu Miu Logo sunglasses are described as being “ultra-glamorous” by the brand.
The $460 white eyewear provides 100% UVA and UVB protection and has slate gray lenses.
They have a cat eye silhouette with the brand logo embellished on the sides.
Miu Miu’s sunglasses are highly desirable, but most style enthusiasts would have to empty their rainy-day fund to be able to afford them.
Luckily, a selection of retailers have debuted strikingly similar eyewear for a fraction of the price.
Penny-pinching can continue with one pair even costing less than $2.
Among the brands are Amazon, Aldo, Shein and PrettyLittleThing.
Over 500 Amazon shoppers have bought Cat Eye sunglasses from the LIKSMU store in the past month.
They are described as a “must-have accessory” that can be worn at any event, from beach parties to weddings, and shopping sprees.
Priced at just $14.99, it’s surprising that they’re made from “sturdy” material and able to block 100% of harmful sun rays.
The sunglasses are sold in four different colors in addition to white.
PrettyLittleThing currently has their white retro cat eye sunglasses reduced from $10 to $5.
Unlike Miu Miu’s pair, they have a black lens rather than gray.
The accessory provides UV protection but wearers are advised not to use them for protection against direct sunlight.
The budget-friendly sunglasses are also sold in pale pink.
Shein is selling the most cost-effective copycat of Beyonce’s white cat eye sunglasses.
Discounted from $2.30 to just $1.76, the eyewear boasts of being perfect for summer parties and the beach.
Customers have given them a 4.8-star rating out of a possible 5 and penned rave reviews.
Among the shoppers was one person who said they bought the “super cute” sunglasses for a Beyonce concert, while another said they got many compliments while wearing them.
Aldo’s Jacquelinne cat eye sunglasses are sold in black and ice white for $18.
According to the brand, they are a “statement piece” that can be teamed with most outfits.
The sides of the cat eye frame are slightly slimmer than Beyonce’s pair and it doesn’t have a bold brand logo.
However, the frame shape is arguably the closest match to the Miu Miu pair.
