These Meghan Markle-Approved Pumps Just Restocked At Banana Republic — In 5 New Colors
It’s almost a right of passage for the women of the royal family to all become fashion icons. With every appearance they make, fashion lovers are quick to steal a style tip. Thankfully, Meghan Markle’s famed Madison Ankle Strap Pumps came back in stock at Banana Republic, so fans can nab a Duchess’ style right from under her feet.
The popular pumps were first seen on Markle (pre-Archie) when she was strolling with Prince Harry throughout their Australian Tour back in October, which Footwear News reported were from Banana Republic. And while people are fangirling over the idea of Marklles’s less expensive taste in shoes, fashionistas want to know where to get them before they’re gone — again.
According to a Banana Republic brand rep, the dubbed Madison Ankle-Strap Pumps had sold out (likely due to the Duchess herself), but are getting a restock in five new colorways. While the original blueish gray hue that was first seen on Markle isn't offered, the colors available in the restock are still eye-catching. Plus, there's always hope for a restock. The lineup does, however, feature the popular pumps in black patent leather, taupe patent leather, silver leather, peachy pink patent leather, and burgundy patent leather.
All the colors of the Madiscon Ankle-Strap Pump are available online at BananaRepublic.com in sizes 5 to 12. Each of the shoes also retail for $128.
Markle's style has been one that people are always trying to cop, but these cool and edgy Banana Republic pumps are more neutral, allowing wearers to dress each one up or down.
