Pippa Tip: When one wants attention, one should wear loud clothing and drunkenly fall out of a nightclub in the wee hours and get into a taxi with a man who is not your boyfriend.
Here are some new photos of Pippa Middleton leaving the London nightclub Loulou’s last night. The dude she’s with is Tom Kingston, a 34-year-old banker who hangs around Pippa a lot. He’s the same guy who was all over her at the races in March. He is not her official boyfriend Nico Jackson. Is this scandalous? Or does Pippa just have a lot of male friends who she parties with regularly and there’s nothing to it?
As for Pippa’s “loud” pants (Pippa tip: “Loud” clothing is not audibly loud, in many instances “loud” means brightly colored)… they are Temperley London and they are expensive. They are called ‘Sovereign Silk Trousers‘ and cost £295. According to Temperley London, the fabric was “inspired by Ballet Russes costumes from the early 1900’s and made of soft crepe-de-chine, the ikat style print is graphic and eye catching.” Am I the only one who thinks these pants are terrible? I do like the fact that at least one of the Middleton girls wears pants, but I hate this fabric.
Interestingly enough, Princess Eugenie was also at the club at the same time as Pippa. They did not leave together. I really don’t think the Middleton ladies get along with the York princesses whatsoever.

I really struggle with Temperley designs in general, so…
I’m sure they were given to her, though.
I actually like the pants and would kill for that jacket.
She doesn’t look lambasted to me, just ‘happy’.
+1. She’s making me want a pair of pants like that. She looks great.
I agree. I think she looks great. Love the pants, jacket and purse.
I like the pants too, but she shouldn’t wear boots to them. Horrible!
Yeah, she’s young, she’s in England. She can wear those. I kinda like the whole ensemble.
I actually really like those pants too! They just needed to by styled differently, like with better shoes…
I don’t mind the pants, but I probably wouldn’t wear them myself. Printed pants are really in right now, so I dont’ know why she is getting shade for wearing them.
I also agree that she looks happy, not drunk. How does smiling equate to falling down drunk?
I am not a “fan” of hers, but I think she gets way too much criticism for such small things. I just dont’ get the hate.
“I am not a “fan” of hers, but I think she gets way too much criticism for such small things. I just dont’ get the hate.”
Same here.
I am actually starting to like her, in a way. From what I’ve heard about her, she sounds like a good sport, and she really isn’t responsible for all the coverage – silly adulation or criticism – the rags give her.
NO Kaiser, you most certainly are not alone – those pants are just fug fug fug.
Like the jacket, though.
295 pounds is like, what, $4-500? I swear I saw those pants on the clearance rack at Ross.
It’s about $450. Love eugenie’s dress!
Love the whole look…but you have to have the body to wear it and she does.
God I actually was thinking they made her look fat and Pippa is not fat. I don’t think those pants would be attractive on anyone. They make her hips look lumpy and her butt appear big.
Love them – I would wear them, but not with that jacket or shoes.
I actually wear a lot of LOUD pants
I have a pair of pajama pants that are pretty similar.
Hahahaha!
Yes it would look great as pajamas. As one you would wear outside though? No thanks.
LOL.
I think they are fug, and they look worse with the mumsy bolero jacket. Are bolero jackets coming back in? Bleh.
Hammer-time.
These would be cute with a sleeveless pink tank and sandals at a beach reort. Here, with that jacket color, ugh? IMHO
I think it’s the color and the fabric. It looks very stiff and unforgiving and totally boring, like something you dug out of grandma’s closet.
I agree about the tank, although I’d prefer it in black, but Pippa’s too short and squat to carry off the look. It’d look fabulous on someone with long legs and a willowy build.
EEW it didnt flatter in the early 90’s and it doesnt flatter now— I have a deal with my sister to wear awful pants like that for my 30th birthday to commemorate our wearing them when we were 10…. LOL
Ha! I had a plaid pair of jeans when I was 10. I even have the photo to prove it!
I agree. I had a pair of similarly styled pants (different loud pattern though) that I bought during my senior year of high school in 1989-1990. They were so ugly. High waisted with MC Hammer-type styling. I really don’t think these sort of pants are flattering on anybody. I doubt this trend will last long.
Hate them on her. Would work on someone who actually had fashion sense and knew how to style them.
Eugenie looks cute. I like the contrast between her and Pippa here. One is mugging for the cameras, the other is staring at the ground.
I’m torn, because I normally loathe loud pants (and come on, they don’t normally flatter a figure) but I kind of like these. HOWEVER, I hate the rest of the outfit so…yeah, torn.
I usually don’t like what she wears but really love those trousers. Gorgeous. How she styles them though…not so much.
You know what they say: if you don’t have anything nice to say about anybody, come sit by me.. ;p
*pulls up chair*
Fug face and fug pants. Sorry…
I don’t necessarily dislike them but they are difficult to wear and I think she can’t pull them off. I am sure Solange Knowles could make them look good.
Pants like that… Bright colours, sligtly loose fitting… Are all over Europe at the moment….
Amazing how an upstart social climber would wear a signet ring to show off their tacky, brand new coat of arms, while a blood princess is confident and secure enough not to brag about it.
What would she brag about? Being born into something she had nothing to do with creating? I’m not anti-royal at all, but to give somebody credit for being secure in a position she did nothing to earn is crazy talk.
Completely agree. I don’t understand how anyone gives any member of the monarchy credit simply for being born so privileged.
It is not about “giving them credit” for being born into Royalty, but rather appreciating that she is not trying to exploit her birth right for more fame, publicity, etc. She just goes about her business without feeling the need to remind people she’s a Princess, or draw attention to herself.
Pippa Middleton thrives on the media’s validation of herself and her family, and is shameless in the way she chases publicity.
The wealth of the Middletons is primarily their parents’ hard work. So you can’t say that Pippa has contributed to it.
The Middletons care very much about their newly acquired status enough to suddenly start wearing those rings and flashing them to remind everyone.
You don’t see Autumn Philips, Mike Tindall or Sophie Wessex families flashing any signet rings, do you? They were all granted a coat of arms.
It doesn’t make a difference to me either way – whether they flash their signet rings or not. I personally wouldn’t praise them for not doing it – or for not exploiting their positions – I don’t think those are particularly praiseworthy accomplishments.
Thank you MisJes, for saying it better than I could have.
GoodCapon, no problem! I knew where you were coming from, and I wholeheartedly agree with you.
There’s absolutely nothing wrong with being anti-royal. More people should try it.
I love the idea behind the pants — going back to old patterns and fabric, but I think it would have worked better as a skirt.
For someone so rich she always looks so cheap and those pants are UGLY.
I would like them more if they were fitted and not wide or straight (or genie) legged. Hard to tell which one exactly.
Yes! And maybe a bit above the ankle and with a black blazer. Not sure of what color I’d wear under the blazer.
I also think that the background color of the pants is terrible, barely looks good on ANYONE… I’d like this print more in another color combination.
Yeah definitely a black blazer not that tan neutral color. Or if she had the personality for it a pink one but she doesn’t have it. I do like the print but not the colors also. That color would wash almost anybody out.
i like the look but ummm..who goes clubbing in all those layers? isn’t she hot? did she even dance? it’s a decent enough outfit to wear to dinner or shopping, but clubbing???
That’s what I was thinking! This is not a clubbing outfit, seriously chuck on an LBD and call it a day sheesh

She certainly looks pleased to see the cameras. The York sister clearly doesn’t feel the same.
I’m sorry, did you say pants? I was too distracted by the clown makeup.
The pants aren’t too bad. I’m actually a big fan of the printed pants trend right now, bought a pair of silk pants with a leaf design on them recently. HOWEVER, Pippa’s pants don’t fit her very well in the leg and the shoes she is wearing the pants with are just gahd awful. Pippa has the worst taste in shoes. If she went with a heeled sandal, I think the outfit would have looked a lot better. Or a pump with a pointier toe. Rounded toes make Pippa look quite squat.
I read that Bea and Euge had a long running feud with Kate and Pippa. Though, I took the York girls’ attendance of the launch of Celebrate as a formal gesture of goodwill, at least toward Pippa.
I like bold coloured pants but the pattern is not really my thing. What’s that-geometrical ethno? Otherwise I like it.
Isn’t she a bit old to be out clubbing? Just sayin.
Is 29 now too old to go out clubbing with friends? Seems a bit early to have to cut off the fun.
Loulou’s isn’t really a club in a dancing sort of sense. It’s a combination, restaurant, supper club, gentleman’s club and a section for dancing.
I like the pants. They are “on trend” and they look really good on her. I would have worn a pink jacket but perhaps she didn’t want to be too “loud.” Personally, I don’t understand the photos of Pippa coming out of a club. Seems like all women her age spend a good deal of time in nightclubs with friends. Don’t see the scandal and she definitely does not look drunk.
Maybe the pants only seem loud in comparison to Eugenie’s oh so exciting blue dress, black tights, shoes and sweatery thing. Lord, that’s dull.
LOVE the pants, hate how she has accessorized them. The outfit on the whole is terrible, but a simple black bodysuit under the pants with some sexy heels would have been such a great look.
Heinous– I’ve had bedspins in that color and design
The pants are hideous. Love the Pippa Tips – keep them coming!
Not a fan of Pippa’s outfit but she is an alright looking woman.
Personally, I prefer the look of Princess Eugenie much more than Pippa’s look.
On a side note, there was a really cute article in The Daily Mail about the Queen and Camilla attending a horse event together and the photos of the Queen are SO cute!!! I love it when the Queen is genuinely happy and smiling — she looks adorable!!! And it’s clear she is close with Camilla as they seemed very at ease with one another, to the point of affectionate. So nice to see.
Fug outfit.
The pants make her look stumpy and her cropped jacket emphasizes her long torso and short legs even more.
The pants also look like pajamas on her.
Temperley should have had the pants cut and styled like cigarette pants, and Pippa should have omitted the jacket but kept the plain black shirt and long necklace, and then worn stilettos or high-heeled strappy sandals. She would have looked great.
Something about Pippa “cheapens” clothes, though IMO. She rarely looks stylish or chic.
She looks HARD, how old is this girl again?
Don’t like the pants…. but also don’t quite get what the issue is with her going clubbing or entering into the car – she doesn’t look particularly drunk, and she got into the car with friends – what’s the big deal?
Something about this post seems a bit prudish to me.
For a 50-year old, she doesn’t look that bad.
Those are some of the ugliest Hammerpants I’ve ever seen.
Kaiser the pippa tip you started your post with is actually an original Kate tip. Pippa is just following big sis footsteps.
Love the pants. With a hot pink silk camisole, long black cardigan and black, strappy sandals. Could’ve been hot. But not.
I like the pants, but they would look like all kinds of holy hell on me.
I’m just surprised that this how these ladies are styled for clubbing. The pattern on Pippa’s pants are fun, however they’re the wrong fit and terribly styled as a lot of you are saying. Eugenie’s outfit is nothing special either.
Girlfriend is not aging well.
Sometimes I wonder if there’s just plain tension between the Wales and York families in general, but that we just see it between the 2 sets of sisters. The Duke of York has effed up pretty badly (the latest being letting his ex-wife sell access to him) and Charles has stated a plan to reduce the number of working royals – which would mean that the York family would have to come up with other jobs, especially since they’ve blown through a lot of money. We give Kate a tough time for being so cavalier about her role as princess (otherwise known as “lazy”) but that doesnt exactly make the York family nice in comparison.
The York girls have jobs or on their way to having jobs.
Beatrice works for a finance company whereas Eugenie has been interning at several galleries with a view to getting a permanent job.
Any royal duties and charitable endeavours are strictly on their own time and dime.
Bridget.
The York girls are sincere and hardworking. Their parents made a mess, but they didn’t. Yes, Fergie blew through a lot of money, but Kate is catching up. She just has William’s press protection for now. It says a lot that B&E pay for travel, security and wardrobe out of pocket to do more charity work of better quality than Kate does.
These girls have taken huge attacks for being their parents children. That makes them nice. There are so many accounts of the middleton girls being plain awful to them and they never fought back. Because they have class.
The print/color of the pants would be perfect for parachute pants.
lol
The pants are cute, but Pippa needed to have them tailored. There are too long here. If you look at the model on the Temperley website, they are shorter and have a slight cuff at the ankle. However, I do like to give Pippa credit b/c she doesn’t take chances with her fashion.
UpTradey is out for the night, still scouting for a potential upgrade from her current beau.
It ain’t over til Westminster Abbey.
Will this one ever get married off?
Harlequin.. pajamas.. lazy..
Lol. The last photo of Pippa made me think of the circus. All she’s missing are stilts.
PJ’s
Does Pippa have a job? Other than writing books that don’t sell?
Those pants are fug & give her saddle bags she doesn’t have.
The pants look like tarted-up zubaz.
Dunno if anybody has been paying attention, but that specific style of pants is going to be EVERYWHERE this summer. I see them in every store I go. I’ve tried them on and I dunno. I think they look GREAT but I just don’t know how to pull them off! My sister has a pair and she rocks them but I am always baffled by how to wear them. So Pippa is going with the trend here.
Those pants are UGLY, and she could have styled those loud ass pants better with something trendy.
I cant understand. she’s very regular looking, why the hell is she interesting?
Is is possible the Middleton gals can learn what is flattering to look pretty and dewy fresh.. and how to apply that makeup properly..?
I’m going to London in early June. Am I going to have to wear pants like that t fit in?
No matter how much money the Middleton women have, they simply lack good taste. The trousers are very good, but her accessorizing is in line with her make-up style, or rather that of all Middleton women. How can anyone think the Middleton girls are some kind of fashion leaders is simply beyond me. They get it right occasionally, but nevertheless the Middleton “style”, or rather lack of it, shines through.
Both She and the pants are tres fug.
those pants are really different i think its not going to look of many people but she carrying it well and its looking nice on her
