A Kate Middleton superfan threw out her old clothes and has spent the past five years recreating different fashion looks from the duchess after becoming obsessed in April 2016.
Katie Wolfe, 36, first became a Kate Middleton fan in 2016 following her engagement to Prince William.
She began taking outfit inspiration from the duchess soon after, binning her old wardrobe to replace her clothes with exact replicas for pieces the Duchess wore.
She now claims “99 per cent” of her wardrobe is now inspired by Kate Middleton and said she has spent around $2,000 [£1,468] on royally-influenced clothing over the last five years
Katie, from Pennsylvania, US, said: "My fascination with Kate Middleton began when she and Prince William stepped out to announce their engagement.
“She was so elegant and beautiful and I was instantly mesmerised by her grace and beauty.”
She fell in love with her “even more” with her “classic and timeless” style after she did her first interview and was soon hooked, she said.
"I started replicating her style almost immediately - the blue wrap dress was my first Duchess inspired purchase and any time I would go out shopping, I'd ask myself: would Kate wear this?
"As I am a stay at home mum, I'm on a strict budget so a lot of the outfits come from resale sites like eBay, ThreadUp and Poshmark.”
Last Christmas, Katie received the Barbour Defence jacket that the duchess often wears as a gift from her husband.
The mega-fan said she will “wear it for the rest of [her] life”.
Katie also managed to get her hands on the Jimmy Choo Vamp glitter heels Kate had been seen wearing, on eBay for £58.
“They were from a charity auction and are probably my best bargain find," she said.
Katie has over 1,500 followers on her Instagram page where she posts her recreation next to Kate Middleton's original outfits.
The Pennsylvania woman, who is currently a stay at home mum, explained: "When she came on the scene, she was different.
"There were already a lot of ladies sharing their duchess inspired fashion, but I noticed there were not many curvy women like myself sharing so I wanted to show other ladies that they too could be inspired by the duchess' fashion choices.
"My sweet husband encouraged me in the beginning and helps me take all my photos.
"I've received so many messages from ladies thanking me for inspiring them and showing them that ladies with curves can dress beautifully like the duchess."
Katie's wardrobe is now made up of "99 per cent" of Kate Middleton's outfit choices and she claims she wouldn't wear anything that the Duchess of Cambridge wouldn't approve of.
She added: "Though I do love admiring her gorgeous gowns, I think she does a great job of mixing high end fashion with more accessible and budget friendly pieces.
"When she wears brands like Zara, Boden, or Accessorize, I can usually purchase the item directly but I find most deals from websites like eBay.
"I usually stick to a strict budget and never spend more than £73 ($100) on an outfit, unless it's a special occasion.
"I mostly focus on her more wearable looks and that tends to be my day to day attire.
"She's so beautiful and has the beautiful heart to match."
