"I can certainly see the resemblance - we have a very similar jawline but she has more of a refined nose than I do," she laughs.
Stephanie's likeness to American actress Meghan Markle - due to become Prince Harry's wife and officially join the British Royal Family next month - is astonishing, and at the moment is making her job as a retail manager at Lorna Jane in Belconnen quite a challenge.
Stephanie, 28, started receiving comments on the likeness way back in 2011 when US television series Suits first aired on Australian television, starring Meghan Markle as legal assistant and law student Rachel Zane.
But when Markle and Prince Harry started dating in late 2016, and now as the world gears up for the wedding of "The Hollywood Princess" and her prince on May 19, people's stunned remarks are a constant during Stephanie's day.
"It's a bit ridiculous at the moment, how often I get stopped in the street," she says.
Speaking of streets, Stephanie's royal abode in Canberra couldn't be located in a more apt place: the Maori-Australian lives on Cambridge Street in Cook.
While her celebrity lookalike will spend the next few weeks attending dress sittings and choosing which of Queen's Elizabeth's jewels she might borrow for her big day (don't forget some of the Queen's most-loved Cartier jewels are currently on display right here in Canberra at the National Gallery), Stephanie will be helping the women of Canberra with their activewear needs.
She says she was in shock when a customer asked her a few weeks ago, "How are the wedding plans going?"
"I was so confused," she laughs.
"But I've become really used to it now. I used to get really embarrassed but because it's happened so often I'm just like, 'Yes, I get told that a lot' and just say thank you - it's a huge compliment."
While Meghan Markle has met the Royal bachelor of her dreams, Stephanie has yet to meet her prince. She's keen to see if there's a redhead out there who'd like to have a drink with her and maybe, if things go well, watch the Royal wedding with popcorn and champagne in a few weeks' time.
"I've never dated a redhead but I'm not opposed to the idea," she laughs.
"Most female and male redheads I know have a lot of character.
"I'm looking for someone who actually has a lot of Harry's traits - genuine, compassionate, loving, caring.
"And a sense of humour is huge."
