‘Meghan Markle Wannabe’ : Kelly Sturino Called A ‘Cow’ for Copping Duchess’ Style
Katie Sturino proves that a revenge body does not always have to be skinny. In her previous marriage, she was obsessed over keeping to a certain size.
After the divorce, she gained 60 pounds and, in her words, 1000x more happiness!
Katie has been known for her #MakeMySize movement where she makes celeb style look comfortable. She is a breath of fresh air, making people see how you can wear any style and look great!
Copy Everyone But Meghan Markle
The Duchess of Sussex has been having it rough with the U.K. press. She has been called racist names and has her privacy invaded many times. So anyone who supports her in any way can get inked too.
Sturino has been playing with a lot of looks. Lately, she has been donning the styles of Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge and Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex.
The styles that got her the worst backlash: Meghan Markle fashion. Nasty comments were published not just on comments but elsewhere in online articles.
One savage comment read, "it's much easier to be body-positive when you don't look like a cow." Another hurtful comment said Katie "looked like she ate Meghan and stole her dress."
The body positivity influencer took a stand, though. She said that indeed her work is not yet done. As long as there remains people who continue to shame a woman's body, she will continue her advocacies.
Besides, Katie loves her body so much, she does not mind what other people say. She once was affected by being "tall and big," saying she wanted to shrink and fit ... but that was before.
With a newfound love and philosophy in life, Katie has found she could love and respect her body. Besides, Markle's looks are comfortable for her. She feels confident wearing them too, so what is the fuss?
Celeb Fashion Inspiration
Sturino loves to be inspired by celebrity street style. She has been seen out and about channeling models like Gywneth Paltrow and Karlie Kloss.
One of her favorite models to get style-inspo from is Kylie Jenner.
For Katie, style should not be limited by size. She supports brands that offer a wide range of sizes, from 00 to 24.
More celebrity styles that have sparked the creativity in Sturino include "Good Morning America" hosts Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon.
A Passion for Fashion
The 35-year-old social media diva previously worked with Chanel, Dolce & Gabanna and Bobbi Brown.
It was in these working environments that Sturino realized she wanted to empower women through clothing. She said that she used to feel out of place from being the "biggest person in the room" and not fitting into samples.
Now, you can see Katie sporting high leg bikinis and striped swimsuits. She would often share photos of herself in her favorite underwear.
Those who say she just "go to the gym," "try and eat a salad" would be surprised that Katie does do those things. She loves doing yoga and cardio. Most importantly, she loves working out in a judgment-free environment.
As for beauty, Katie launched Megababe. There, she offers beauty products many women feel embarrassed to talk about. Now, Katie gives every woman confidence as she sells anti-friction thigh balm and bust powder. All her products are cruelty-free and don't contain phthalates, talc, and other toxic chemicals.
Way to go Katie!
