TV presenter Holly Willoughby, who's currently enjoying her summer holiday away from This Morning, has faced backlash from some of her fans after posting a photo of her 5-year-old daughter Belle’s designer shoes.

The shoes in question are the same ones Beyonce's daughter Blue Ivy recently rocked up to the VMAs red carpet in.

Named ‘Dolly’, the trainers are part of designer Guiseppe Zanotti’s Junior range and sell for a pricey £390!

Clearly proud that her daughter has got the same taste as Blue Ivy, Holly took to Instagram to share the similarity: "Blue Ivy going to the VMA's... Belle going to a birthday party at the farm!"

Awwww!

However, Holly's followers were quick to slam the post as 'bragging' and were shocked to find out how expensive the shoes were - especially as Belle will definitely grow out of them soon.

One wrote: "Don't show off with ridiculously over priced trainers holly... For a child as well, who will grow out of them in weeks and scuff them in seconds .... Bragging wasn't something I had you down for..."

Another hinted that Holly must be 'made of money' to splurge on such things: "Why would you let her wear them to the farm? Must be made of money"

Of course, whatever Holly decides to spend her money on is HER decision and many were shocked at all the negative attention she's been recieving.

One pointed out that Holly could have actually been given the shoes for free to promote on her social media.

"Maybe she got given the shoes for free from the company??"

Another added: "You're all absolutely pathetic. If she has the money she's earned to be able to afford these beautiful shoes for her child, then so be it. You're all jealous mums. Should be motivating other mums, not bringing your negative thoughts."

**What do you think of all this? Do you think it's worth splurging on children's clothes? **
