Plunging necklines? See-through lace? What is Pippa Middleton’s style secret? (Warning: it may involve hours and hours of practice…)
Since her sister Kate Middleton married Prince William, Pippa has been in the spotlight.
But over time, her fashion has evolved from royal bridesmaid to sophisticated style.
Always chic, today she is quite a fashion icon.
And with the perfect post-pregnancy figure to dress thanks to her love of sport and exercise, Pippa hasn’t been afraid to up the glamor with plunging necklines and sheer lace.
Elegant and ladylike, her style combines figure-hugging dresses, high heels and breathtaking Hollywood glamour, all used for maximum effect.
Like her equally stylish sister The Princess of Wales, Pippa shares a love of British labels Emilia Wickstead, Self Portrait and Temperley, plus Canadian designer Erdem, who lives in London.
A keen eye for style and an admirably toned body create a magical formula.
Red seen with green at the Heart Hero Awards
Pippa stepped out in December 2023, appearing at the Heart Hero Awards in a festive red and green ensemble.

Wedding beauty for Lady Gabriella Windsor
One area where Pippa has a lot of sartorial experience is dressing wedding guests and she showcased monochromatic dressing at Lady Gabriella Windsor’s wedding in 2019, wearing head-to-toe cornflower blue.
