Pippa M - what on earth is she wearing?

I don't normally comment on other peoples dress sense (I am lacking my own!), but I have just seen some pics of Pippa Middleton in the Daily Fail and she looks terrible! I can't link as on my phone....

She is young but is dressing so old for her time and in some hideous dress coat. No idea what the actual dress underneath is like...... Why does she do this??

It seems to be the new Young Regal Look.

It is horrible.

MairzyDoats · 27/04/2014 08:35

I feel a bit sorry for her actually, suddenly just because her sister is queen to be she seems to have to wear equally frumpy outfits. Imagine being as young and having as good a body as she does and not being able to wear all the fun stuff you want to in case you get lynched by the press (or the palace press office.)

OublietteBravo · 27/04/2014 08:38

The only nice thing I can say about that outfit is that I quite like the shoes. The dress coat thingy is horrible - very unflattering.

Carole looks a million times better than her...

SavoyCabbage · 27/04/2014 08:41

I thought this too. Frumptastic. Her boobs look a foot lower than they should be.

NickNackNooToYou · 27/04/2014 08:42

Well her shoes are quite nice...

she looks in her fifties, methinks the constant holiday sun is ageing her badly

I agree, tak1ng!

Carole looks chic and it suits her look, she does always choose well and never appears to have an off-day. Pippa on the other hand, looks terrible, more often than not.

She should dress in a more age-appropriate manner

Hmm yes, it looks crumpled too esp in comparison to Carole's.

Not a great shape on anyone.

LittleBearPad · 27/04/2014 08:45

It's a terrible dress. It's all saggy.

Foxsticks · 27/04/2014 08:49

Not flattering at all but didn't the bride look beautiful? Gorgeous dress.

LadyWithLapdog · 27/04/2014 08:54

That is a seriously frumpy 50s 'housecoat'. I don't like the acorn hat either. Sack the stylist!

Bonsoir · 27/04/2014 08:55

It looks like a coat designed to mask early pregnancy!

FatimaLovesBread · 27/04/2014 09:01

It makes her boobs look odd, her right one looks deflated like mine after a marathon feeding session
Don't like the fabric either, a bit shiny

calypsoblue · 27/04/2014 09:01

She is probably trying to promote brother's / cousin's new fashion label ! It was probably a freebie anyway ! Totally agree awful dress

MargotLovedTom · 27/04/2014 09:05

Looks like a shiny lab coat.

SpiderRoaster · 27/04/2014 09:10

Bonsoir - that's what it I thought as soon as I saw it

Is Pippa a smoker?

LittleBearPad · 27/04/2014 09:13

I wondered that too Bonsoir.

ZenGardener · 27/04/2014 09:16

Gosh, I thought the same when I saw the photos. I thought Pippa didn't look good but Carole looked great.

LocalEditorOxford · 27/04/2014 09:18

Did anyone notice it mislabelled her as Kate on one photo. .?

Slongette · 27/04/2014 09:21

I think it's the fabric - not good!

BranchingOut · 27/04/2014 09:21

I did have the same thought, Bonsoir.

Maybe it is one of those things that looks great in the mirror but does not photograph well?

santamarianovella · 27/04/2014 09:25

Carole always looks amazing i think she dresses better than her daughters .i cant help notice how terrible pippa's skin is,can't believe she is only 30.

I wish they had more pictures of the bride,I love her dress.

Amethyst24 · 27/04/2014 09:26

She always looks in need of bra intervention to me.

JazzAnnNonMouse · 27/04/2014 09:38

I didn't know she was 30, she looks much much older in those pictures.
I would've said she was older than Kate.
Her dress isn't a good choice
