The show's talented stylist, Jennifer Michalski-Bray (of Gossip Girl fame), is Katherine's own. The star was adamant about getting her personal glam squad involved in the show.

We've been loving the super glam fashion Katherine wears in the series, including her dreamy Daily Sleeper pyjama set complete with feathered cuffs and the amazing faux mourning outfit she wears on the school run.

We particularly loved The Duchess' faux mourning outfit 

Speaking about the last look, Jennifer told HELLO!: "This was really fun to create - we had a moodboard with inspiration for this look. Since the show didn't have a huge budget, we used two great second-hand finds - the black cashmere blend Dolce & Gabbana coat and the Lanvin dress underneath.

"Then of course, played it up with the over the knee Stella McCartney boots and the Givenchy bag." Obsessed.
