Pippa Middleton in a color-blocked Paper London dress: cute or budget?

As we discussed yesterday, Pippa Middleton has come to America with only some Wet N Wild liquid eyeliner and her DREAMS. And her hustle too. Oh, and her multi-million book contract and publicity tour to promote said book. These are photos of Pippa at the US Open yesterday, and returning to her hotel after attending the semi-final match between Victoria Azarenka and Samantha Stosur. Page Six says Pippa was a guest of Roger Federer, which fills me a sudden and unexpected rage. Pippa is tight with Roger Federer?!!? OH NOES.

Pippa’s color-block dress is by Paper London. Thoughts? I don’t hate it. It so much better than half of the clothes in her closet, many of which we’ve seen over the past year as Pippa became a “thing” after her sister’s marriage to Prince William. Pippa’s style is… questionable. But I don’t hate this. It flatters her figure, the colors are nice, and the front slit is sexy, and it shows off one of Pippa’s best assets, the Middleton legs. The only part of her outfit that fills me with anger is that stupid basket purse. How tacky.

Allegedly, Pippa is in New York to begin plotting her publicity tour for her book promotion – a book which comes out in the end of October. So why is she spreading her eyeliner all over Chelsea Handler’s boyfriend, Andre Balazs? Why is she making photo ops at the US Open? Well, I go back to Pippa’s hustle. Allegedly (and I have no idea if this is really true), Pippa turned down an offer to become her sister’s lady-in-waiting. Pippa doesn’t want to be beholden to her sister, Pippa wants fame and celebrity on her own terms. Which isn’t the worst thing, in my opinion. Thus, Pippa came to New York to see if she could “happen” in the American celebrity culture, to gauge the interest in what she’s got to sell.

Also – Pippa is still husband-hunting too! For a while during the US Open, Pippa was seated next to Spencer Vegosen, who is allegedly a Harvard grad and tennis player. You can see photos of him here – he looks like her type. More so than Andre Balazs.

    “…and it shows off one of Pippa’s best assets, the Middleton legs.” Really? The first thing I thought about that top pic is how manly/overly-muscular they look. Guess I shouldnt be critiquing someone for being in too good of shape..ugh Im sure some of you know what I mean though.

    • little-red says:

      I would hardly call either of them overly muscular.

    • Ludakristen says:

      You think those legs are overly muscular? Wow. I can’t imagine what you’d think of my hockey player tree trunks.

    • Moneypenny424 says:

      It’s nice to see someone with athletic, shapely legs, as opposed to the sticks that so many celebs have.

    • ohiogirl says:

      I’m really impressed by her athletic abilities so I love that she uses her body in a functional way as opposed to some of these fake celebrities that only keep in shape to get more attention then use plastic surgery to go the extra mile.

  3. Meg says:

    The purse and the shoes are WAY off, but the dress is OK. Her body does look great in it, like you said. Also, she needs to ditch those sunglasses.

    • erika says:

      whoooaa…it’s like she’s gone down country the farther down you look, dress, city/hip, woven basket/purse, well..suburban housewife/soccer mom BUT those SHOES!!!

      Yee Gads! maryanne where is ginger?

  4. beyonce's bump says:

    Someone please tell me why the blogospere is so fascinated with the bland twit, she is no different than the kardashians….famous for nothing! At least I find the kardashians a little interesting in a disgraceful way of course. smh

  5. scrott says:

    That dress would be cute if it actually fit. I’m pretty sure the placket isn’t supposed to be all puckered and straining like that. This girl sure knows how to make expensive clothes look like they came off the Walmart sale rack.

  6. Esti says:

    The dress is cute. I actually like the purse (it’s Kate Spade, yes?), though I agree it doesn’t really go with the rest of the outfit.

  7. Dani says:

    I think my grandma has those shoes. Orthopedic, no?

  8. Nonny says:

    Why does she look so old……..?

  9. ramona says:

    Don’t like the shoes. They don’t match.

  10. Rae says:

    Her dress reminds me of one of those vests/shirts that construction workers wear.

  11. Cloud&Feather says:

    Does she look like Sandy Cheeks from Spongebob or is it just me (pic #4)? I want to take some apricot scrub to her face.

  12. Bengalcat2000 says:

    Maybe she just photographs poorly. I’m 40 next year & she looks older than me & I partied hard in my 20’s. However. she does seem happy & productive. Perhaps she’s not as fug as we think?

  13. JB says:

    That dress is beyond fug. That collar? Oh, nonononono.

  14. Talie says:

    She will happen in America, more so than in the UK…I think her book will do very well here. And you know her book signings will be huge.

  15. INeedANap says:

    Ooof. This girl makes the most expensive clothes look like cheap knock-offs, those shoes are hideous, and she looks like an ugly drag-queen on revue in North Dakota. She needs her hustle, it’s the only flattering thing she has.

  16. Booboocita says:

    Wet ‘n’ Wild eyeliner is spot on. Geez, she and her sister really need to rethink their eye makeup. That heavy black just ages her.

  17. Shelly says:

    I don’t get her appeal. Her looks are very average and she’s built like a boy.

  18. Linnythepooh says:

    I really don’t see what the big deal is about her. Her only claim to fame is her (non-existant) ass! And she looks like a oompa-loompa with that awful orange tan.

  19. oooh mama says:

    both she and her sister are totally overrated, both are basically average with Pippa being a tad less attractive than her big sis, but neither are what I would call pretty or beautiful on anyone’s measuring scale

    • Suzie says:

      Pippa is a “tad less attractive” only because she hasn’t had as much work done as Waity.

      • oooh mama says:

        I have heard that mama sent Kate in for some rhinoplasty to the nose bridge to make it less boxer-like one summer when she disappeared for a few weeks, when she and Pr William became serious at Univ.

  20. Luise says:

    Am I seeing wedges a la Duchess Dolly Curls on the Orange Pip?

  21. Cathy says:

    I actually like the dress. I think it looks good on her. She needs to give more thought to the purse and shoes though, they’re ugly.

  22. ladybert62 says:

    She looks like a Rubric Cube with an orange head on top.

    That dress is awful.
    Her hair is awful.
    That “tan” is awful.

  23. midnightmoon says:

    Ooooooogly & her body parts match less than the dress. Hair is a mess. Shoes & bag are horrific. Go away Pippa! Go back to the London swamp you crawled out from!

  24. Sachi says:

    She always looks like she needs a good shower and a scrub. The stringy hair, the horrid tan, the awful makeup…

    Something about her always screams ‘cheap’ no matter how expensive the clothes, and this outfit is no exception. She doesn’t clean up well. She and her sister have no style or taste on how to properly accessorize.

    But Kate must have some advisers, because she manages to show up looking elegant and dignified from time to time.

    For two people who have spent almost a decade shopping and holidaying and not having real careers, the Middleton sisters look so haggard and run-down. Husband-chasing and social climbing must be very difficult.

    • erika says:

      yah….some Swiss Ives Apricot scrub (i sense she’s got bronzing lotion on top of the spray tan) lay off the sun babe, for like 9 months! leave your eyes ALONE (no mamma kardashian kohl liner death swipe)

      and a lil lip gloss to go!

      • Sachi says:

        St. Ives Apricot Scrub is the best thing I’ve ever bought for under $5.

        My skin likes the cheap stuff. 😀

        Pippa can use some, too…exfoliate the fake tan away and make her look fresher.

  25. garvels says:

    I like the dress..but it looks a little tight across the bust line. The dress probably would have looked better on a tall lean frame like her sister Catherine.

  26. Eleonor says:

    I don’t like the dress, but I’m totally in love with her purse!

  27. rumbleseat says:

    I’m going to make a Youtube video like that Chris Crocker guy and tell everyone to leave Pippa alone. Yes, she is not pretty enough to be an actress or model (OMG!) and yes, she likes to go to parties, and yes, she has a book coming out. But honestly is that really worth hating the chick for? These seem to be her trespasses, along with attending her friends’ weddings.

    I actually think she looks better than usual in this pic. She doesn’t look so fake tanned, and the dress is nice. Different accessories would be better. She looks toned and fit.

  28. Moneypenny424 says:

    What’s up with this Spencer guy? It looks like he’s auditioning to be a walk-on in American Psycho.

  29. chelsea says:

    While I don’t disagree with the other posters who think she is undeserving of all the hoopla and attention, I have to say she looks a lot…shall we say “healthier” looking than the “new” Kate.

    Pippa looks athletic and healthy and quite similar to how Kate was before the drastic weightloss. Now Kate looks quite frail and IMHO that’s not a good thing, esp. when you are trying to procreate.

  30. benny says:

    She looks like she belongs on “Jersey Shore,” only she’s not classy enough.

  31. pinchofsalt says:

    The sisters have pretty legs. And hair.

    • Luise says:

      Excuse me! What about Dolittle’s massive extra thick hair extensions? Orangina’s hair looks scraggly compared to all of that fakeness.

  32. May says:

    Greetings from Mexico! I’ve been reading Celebitchy for awhile now and this is my first post ever 🙂

    I just HAD to say that the most disturbing part of this article for me, was the fact that she knows Roger Federer… WTF!! Stay away Pippa!!

    Sorry for the rant, I love him and would hate it that she’s associated with him.. And I agree, she’s kind of like a Kardashian, famous for her ass and connections.

  33. erika says:

    40 – for all you out there who throw around the ‘OMG! she looks 40 (but she’s only 20something)!’

    THIS is what 40 should look like, just saying, she’s still attractive, but she’s had some life experience, but, she’s not a horse rode wet 1 too many and the next stop is glue-town.

    just saying….Pippa looks 40 BUT not trashed/hookah like HoLo.

    yeah, the dress is very stylish/fun

  34. spence4eva says:

    Spencer Vegosen, such a hottie! Go colonels

  35. GoodCapon says:

    The Wisteria Sisters don’t have any curves. AT ALL.

    Why anyone would find Pippa pretty/attractive is beyond me. There’s truly no accounting for taste.

    Kate is only slightly better but she’s not drop-dead gorgeous as everyone makes her out to be. She has average looks.

  36. CamColty says:

    Haha I understand why this site is called celeBITCHy. Holy hell !!

  37. Kosmos says:

    I don’t see Pippa as being especially attractive for some reason. I don’t know what all the fuss is, except for the relationship to her sister. Until the wedding, we had never heard of her. She looks average. The purse is bad, shoes don’t really look right with the dress, dress is unimpressive, maybe too much color-blocking for her, and her face looks kind of hard or worn.

  38. kityafey says:

    I thought she was coming back from a workout. I am not being catty. When I first looked at the picture I thought it was her workout clothes.

    I had her purse when I was five. I am not joking. I think that purse is supposed to be new vintage.

    All the pics I have ever seen of her I didn’t realize how muscular she is. I wouldn’t want to get punched by her, lol. She has beautiful legs. Love the muscle tone.
