Melissa Pelz is a loungewear designer by day, Kate Middleton “lookalike” by night and has decided to combine the two with a “Royal Bridal Collection” inspired by…the fact that she looks like Kate Middleton. Seriously. After moving to London, the California native, who we guess kind of looks like Kate (especially in the eyebrows), was told of her striking resemblance to the future princess by “countless friends and strangers,” reads a press release. Eventually, she was put in touch with Susan Scott’s agency Lookalikes, which, based on their website, honestly looks like a place where anyone with a digital camera and the vaguest resemblance to a celebrity can get a spot (there are currently 19 Kate Middletons). Apparently, despite not even being British, she has done some “royal appearances,” “showed off royal memorabilia” and “appeared in foreign press.”

It’s amazing she has time to dedicate to her real passion—a silk lougewear company called Ligne de Soie, for which she has created a limited edition Ligne de Soie Royal Bridal Collection, which includes the Royal Sapphire Silk Nightdress ($150) and Royal Silk Dressing Gown ($279), or the “Royal Robe.” In the press release, Pelz sort of manages to make a connection between her Kate Middleton resemblance and the loungewear line, with a slightly creepy explanation: “Because of what I do in my daily life as a loungewear designer, I’m mostly interested in what she [Kate] wears out of the public eye, while lounging around in the privacy of her home. I always think it must be something really luxurious—something to make her not just look like, but truly feel like a princess.“ Do you think Kate Middleton-branded loungewear has a chance of taking off? Normally, we would guess not but given the level of royal wedding obsession that seems to have taken over the world, and the existence of even weirder things like the royal wedding refrigerator, you never know.
