I really do have some residual affection for Pippa Middleton. I think out of all the Middleton children, she’s probably the brightest and most outgoing, although that’s setting the bar pretty low. Think of it this way… in 2016, Pippa has officially done more charity work than her duchess sister. Seriously. Pippa attended last night’s Roll Out the Red fundraiser in London. The event raised money for the British Heart Foundation, which is one of Pippa’s non-royal patronages, and a charity which receives more free publicity from Pippa than any of Kate’s charities receive from Kate. So, on that count, I have no shade for Pippa. She actually believes in “giving back” in significant ways.

Now, all that being said… WHY IS PIPPA SO ORANGE? My God. She’s an outdoorswoman, always skiing and hiking and biking, so part of it is a real tan that comes from not wearing the appropriate amount of sunscreen during outdoor activities. But I’m almost positive that Pippa either gets spray tans or she’s a tanning bed addict. There’s absolutely no reason for her to be this orange.

Pippa’s dress was Tabitha Webb. I kind of think this is cute? Pippa’s style is usually more lacking than Kate’s, but this is a decent enough look. Other women at the event wore full-length gowns and the men were mostly in black-tie, so there’s a chance Pippa was a tad underdressed. That’s a consistent problem with the sisters too – misjudging the dress code for events. Kate will wear cocktail dresses in the middle of the day and simple, day-time frocks to evening galas, and it seems like Pippa has the same problem. As you can see, Pippa accessorize with matchy-matchy red shoes and a red, heart-shaped clutch.

I haven’t seen any recent updates on the situation between Pippa and James Matthews. I assume they’re still happening, although it’s possible he was scared off by Team Middleton’s hard-sell in the British press.
