Danielle Cooper, creator of She’s a Gent, blends style, travel, lifestyle and beauty

Whether she’s in Oxfords on cobblestone or pulling off loafers to hit the beach, Danielle Cooper’s steps echo wherever she leaves her footprint. The actor, fashion blogger and travel aficionado seems to have no issue finding time to stay current on runway trends, hop a transatlantic flight or celebrate Black, queer love in between her stints on set.

While she is perhaps most recognizable for her recurring role as Wanda in the FX series POSE, her current and ongoing project, She’s A Gent, predates her appearance in the series. On her platform Danielle blends style, travel, lifestyle and beauty to create an online hub welcoming for queer, masculine-presenting people of color, but accessible and inviting to anyone.

Cooper’s travel diaries open up a world of intimacy, luxury and small pleasures, whether taking a fireside escape in a tiny home outside of New York City or lush, tropical greenhouses in London. Whether sipping tea in a robe over the Thames or finding farm-to-table highlights to savor the local flavor, Cooper and her wife bring readers into the everyday indulgences of their experience.

A creative herself, Cooper’s eye for the artistic brings destination profiles to life, as she swims through the culture dapper and poised. With ruminations on everything from yoga, racism, Black hair, queer love and more, Cooper’s online presence demonstrates a life of travel lived fully and curated well.
