The platform heel is undoubtedly the shoe to be seen in this party season. What began its resurgence on the Versace and Valentino runways has now been seen on every stylish celebrity from Dua Lipa to Beyoncé, and luckily for us, the floors of all of our favourite high street stores.
Nothing beats that new shoes feeling, when you love them so much you want to wear them with absolutely everything. But the best bit? Platforms give more support than your average heel, so they tend to be quite comfortable too.
From the iconic Versace Medusa Aevitas to lookalikes from Steve Madden, metallic platforms from Mango and affordable options from ASOS, scroll on to shop our edit of the best platform heels available online now.
