• Danielle Bernstein launched her fashion blog, WeWoreWhat, 10 years ago. Since then, she's grown into a mega-influencer with millions of followers and launched her apparel line, Shop WeWoreWhat.
• But she's faced a number of controversies. She's been accused of copying other designers — most recently, Bernstein sued lingerie brand The Great Eros after the brand said she copied its designs.
• She's also been called out for teaching her followers how to edit out their cellulite on Instagram, and received backlash for vacationing in the Hamptons during the pandemic.

Mega-influencer Danielle Bernstein has 2.5 million Instagram followers, and her success story all started with a student-run blog.

At 18 years old, the Long Island-native transferred from the University of Wisconsin-Madison to the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) and started a website called WeWoreWhat, which aimed to document New York City street style.

Bernstein has since launched multiple fashion brands, collaborated with major designers, and even written a book about her story. In 2017, she made Forbes' "30 under 30" list and said she earned "upwards of seven figures" the year prior.

But as her fashion career has taken off, so have the controversies surrounding her.

Owners of small businesses like The Great Eros and Foundrae have accused Bernstein of copying their designs, and fans have expressed their disappointment about her behavior during the pandemic and the negative messages she's shared about body image.
