Danielle Magness Wellmann’s addiction to royal fashion began in 2011 when Prince William announced his engagement to Kate Middleton. Danielle was instantly captivated by the fairytale romance.
“I started paying attention to Kate Middleton’s clothing when they got engaged and fell in love with her style,” she tells Woman’s Day.
“I think Kate serves as an incredible role model of both substance and style. When she wears something that is accessible to the public it is a chance to own a piece of sartorial history.
ON THE LOOKOUT
“There’s no way I can wear a Givenchy ball gown but some of her clothes are from Reiss, Hobbs and even Zara.
“I keep on top of her wardrobe by looking at the royal calendar and Twitter – within minutes, someone online is able to recognise where an outfit is from and point me in the right direction for purchase. But if it’s $700 or more then I will contact a dressmaker who can make a replica for a tenth of the price.”
