Pippa Middleton is no stranger to a high-society event, having found her footing in the years before and after her older sister the Princess of Wales’ royal wedding in 2011.
While she has largely remained out of the spotlight in recent months, choosing to spend time with her husband James Matthews and three kids, Arthur, Grace and Rose, Pippa was more regularly spotted attending glamorous evening celebrations in the past.
Back in 2013, two years after she was thrust into the public eye as Kate’s stunning bridesmaid, Pippa was pictured at the Vanity Fair and Serpentine Sackler Gallery VIP dinner. The then-30-year-old’s elegant midi dresses that epitomise her wardrobe today were nowhere to be seen, replaced instead by shorter hemlines and more daring features.
Designed by Matthew Williamson, Pippa’s cocktail dress featured a vibrant cerulean hue and an embellished neckline, while the skirt was made up of teal and apricot feathers that fell to just above her knees.

Beauty-wise, Pippa displayed her flawless complexion with a light, dewy base, accentuated her fluttery eyelashes with mascara and styled her rich chocolate brown locks into a loose blow-dry that distinguished between her layers.
Pippa returns in 2025
Pippa made her first public appearance in six months this week, attending Silverstone on Sunday in a white utility midi dress by Usisi Sister layered underneath a suede tan jacket by Sezanne.

Kate’s sister swapped her long hair for a sleek straight bob that fell to her shoulders, changing up her look some time between the annual Together at Christmas carol service in December 2024 and now.

Back in 2024, Pippa joined Kate to watch the Men’s final in a white and pink dress by Beulah London, a nod to the famous strawberries and cream that are served at Wimbledon.
The floral dress had a frilled detail across the bodice and a belted waist, which remain popular in 2025. However, when we turned to HELLO! readers for their verdict on whether Pippa’s dress is the style of summer 2025, just under 60 per cent of respondents gave a firm ‘no’.
