Finding a pair of heels that are both stylish and comfortable can feel like an impossible task, but Lorraine Kelly may have just found the perfect solution with a pair of M&S espadrilles.
The TV presenter recently stepped out in a chic pair of espadrille wedge sandals from the high street store, proving that practical footwear doesn't have to compromise on style.
- Lorraine Kelly, 66, wore a pair of espadrilles and a leopard print dress on a recent episode of her morning TV show.
- Lorraine's shoes have been ID-ed as the £46 M&S Ankle Strap Wedge Sandals.
- She also wore a stylish denim animal print dress from Hush, on sale for £91.
Wearing the affordable wedges to host an episode of Lorraine, the Scottish star showcased exactly why espadrilles remain a summer wardrobe staple. Timeless, elegant and endlessly versatile, the style has long been a favourite among royals, regularly spotted on everyone from the Princess of Wales to the Duchess of Edinburgh during summer engagements and royal tours.

Lorraine's styling is a brilliant reminder that a great pair of espadrilles can work just as well with statement dresses as they do with tailored trousers, denim or occasion wear.
The M&S Ankle Strap Wedges are available in sizes 3–8, with both standard and wide-fit options. Featuring a mid-height wedge, traditional jute detailing and a secure buckle-fastening ankle strap, they're designed for all day wear. It's little surprise that shoppers have described them as "so comfortable", "elegant" and shoes that "look lovely on". The contemporary cut-out front adds a modern twist, making them a pair you'll reach for all season long.

Lorraine opted for the tan shade, but they also come in dark brown if that's more your colour palette.
And if you're looking on advice on making sure your shoes stay comfy all season long, take it from ITV's Ruth Langsford when she gave viewers the easiest tip for dealing with new shoes that rub.
During a TV segment, she revealed live on air that she uses a Compeed Anti-Blister Stick, £4.75, to beat the pain.
She said: "You know when you've been wearing socks and boots and things, and suddenly you're in bare feet with new shoes you just get one of these - it's a blister stick. I rub this where I always know I get a blister - normally on my heel and my little toe when it's rubbing. Or I put sandals on, wear them for about half an hour and you can feel a 'uh oh' and then you just get your blister stick and it just lubricates your skin and gives it a film of grease I suppose and it stops it blistering."
Lorraine's leopard print dress
We have to take a moment for Lorraine's cool leopard dress too. We love a leopard print here at HELLO!, and Lorraine's midi dress is so spot on for the weather right now; lightweight yet offering a little cover-up, while being flowy enough to wear when the temperature heats up. Did I mention it's denim too? Even cooler.
We tracked Lorraine's dress down to Hush, and the best news is that it's on sale. Her dress, the Lark Barrel Sleeve Denim Dress, is currently on sale from £150 to just £91. I'd snap this up quick, as it's a brilliant transeasonal piece that can be worn now, but come autumn/winter, worn with tights or knee high boots.
100% cotton, it features barrel sleeves and an almost washed-out effect, which I love. Available in sizes 6-18, the midi length is super flattering too.
