Here are some photos of Pippa Middleton out and about last night in London. She was actually leaving the mansion she shares with Terribly Moderately Wealthy James Matthews! You know what’s weird? Pippa used to get pap’d all the time coming and going from James’ mansion, but over the past few months, there are few photos of her in this area. Do you think she’s been staying at Middleton Manor a lot, planning the wedding on the ground (so to speak)? Or has she just gotten better at coming and going undercover from James’s mansion?
Anyway, Pippa wanted to be seen last night. She was headed out to attend the ParaSnowBall fundraiser at the private Hurlingham Club in London. There are two options for Pippa. Option #1 is that she spends her married life doing these kinds of sporty charity endeavors and that will constitute her “work.” Option #2 is that Pippa will drop charity work completely and just enjoy a life of leisure as a terribly moderately wealthy man’s wife. Considering the way Pippa has been hustling, I kind of think she’s going to keep up the pretense of working and being charitable for a while longer.
As for her dress and appearance… the dress is not my taste and I would love to see Pippa wear something youthful and cheerful before her big wedding day in two weeks. This dress is rather matronly. The shoe choice sucks too. But I don’t really think the Middleton sisters have much in the way of style anyway. Many of the British papers are making a big deal out of Pippa’s muscular/toned arms. Her arms look great to me! I honestly think she has a really cute figure, she just doesn’t dress in ways to best flatter her figure. No, the only thing that concerns me here is that I fear Pippa will be bright orange on her wedding day. Just like Kate was.

Sorry but she looks haggard.
I like the dress but not the shoes.
Oops, I just noticed the flounce at the bottom, so nope to the dress and the shoes.
I almost gave her the little dress dress til you made me go back and see the bedding skirt attachment and Nope!
I just noticed the flounce after having a second look at the terrible shoes. Those Middleton women sure have no taste and don’t know how to dress their unfortunate long-waisted figures. And don’t get me started on their terrible shoe game.
I think that the dress could’ve been lovely without that ruffle on the bottom. I like the neckline and the detail on the neck/pockets. The shoes would look great with skinny jeans, capris, cigarette legged pants… anything but this dress. I think a strappy sandal would’ve worked better.
Otherwise, I think this is the prettiest I’ve seen her look, outside of Kate’s wedding.
Imqrious2: agree vis a vis the shoes. They aren’t hideous, they are the wrong style for this dress. Skinny jeans, capri etc and they would have looked fabulous.
Yes. The shoes, aside from being awful and too heavy/busy for the dress, are also the WRONG BLUE! Somebody needs to tell Pippa that if your shoes are not the EXACT COLOR & SHADE as the dress, you should go with something that blends nicely or contrasts. Never, ever go with a shoe that is *almost* the color and shade of the dress, because then that is all the eye can see. *Almost* is the kiss of death with shoes.
-those shoes are AWFUL, at least with this dress…
marine tip: match shoes based on style of dress, not color
The shoes are atrocious. I like the adornments on the dress, but they would be better suited to a black sheath ( it would be so Audrey Hepburn-ish) dress than this flouncy, floral mess. Jesus, that flounced hem. Gack.
I love the shoes. I think they make the outfit.
I think the shoes and the dress work together amazingly well, but the pocket relief on the dress is too much.
i think she looks fantastic. it’s the best she’s ever looked. her face got a lot softer and i want to know how!
Yeah she had some work done.
Agreed! My guess would be lots of water, fruit/veg, and some help from both a facialist and Botox/fillers. I’m leaning more towards Botox because she doesn’t look puffy at all.
Maybe she also stopped smoking?
Not even judging, I’d do it too if I had buckets of money.
Her face lost that softness. I’m actually thinking chin implant or even an eye lift. Her whole face has drastically thinned out in just two weeks. I actually think it ages her a bit.
Yes, Whatabout, her face has dramatically slimmed down and it does age her.
My guess is she will be orange and have wiglets on her wedding day.
Hate the dress. Not a fan of the shoes, either.
Drinking a lot of water doesn’t actually help your skin. It’s one of those myths circulated by celebs who can’t admit they use botox an fillers.
Yes! The dress is lovely, which is rare for her.
The water/ fruit/ veg/ botox must be working; she looks much younger than Kate.
But I’m thinking she changed her makeup?
Not sure about the cosmetic procedures people have mentioned above but her makeup looks great and it helps that the light hits her face from the front. No shadows at all.
I think she’s done something too. Her upper lip maybe.
Agree! Her undereye circles have been filled in. They used to be CAVERNS You could find some straight up caveman paintings in her eye crevasses. No longer!
Miracle?
Or just a bit of radiesse / restylane?
Japanese sweet potatoes.
Ha ha!!! Cracked me up!
hahahaha
I think she looks like a Lollipop head now. It’s a shame. She was in good shape and now she is just so thin. That last picture, she has a huge head and a disappearing body. Why do they do this to themselves?? Neither she nor Kate was heavy. Now, they are both disappearing.
I agree! She looks fantastic. Happy, healthy, and I like the dress and shoes.
I totally agree Jeanne,
So refreshing to see a positive comment.
I think she looks gorgeous here.
She looks very happy and has that ” pre wedding’ glow.
I think she is truly in love with her husband – to – be.
You can’t fake that. She hasn’t looked this happy since she supported her sister throughout her wedding.
Her arms look particularly muscular as she is using the trick of turning her arms forward with elbows back.
Pippa and Kate do have athletic figures as they both play a lot of sport.
I love this look and am looking for something similar, for our next Spring/Summer season.
Demure and pretty.
Her arms remind me of Madonna – just nope.
I think they look great! Wish I could get my little twig arms to take muscle.
Wish I could get that definition on my cellulite-y arms! Who knew that would be a thing?? I like the dress. Not the flounce really, but it’s a nice dress. Modest, not attention grabbing … my guess is she stays with the charity circuit. It’s how you mingle at the best occasions, dahlings. Would also drum up business for MR James.
LOL! For a second there Pandy, I thought you were referring to Pippa drumming up business for Marshmallow James not Moderately Rich James. Maybe she’ll do both.
Agree Linabear. I think her arms look amazing and I would kill for definition like that. In fact, I think Pippa looks fantastic in these pics. SO much hate for the Middletons. Just don’t get it.
Yep. There’s a grandmom at school pick up each day overly tanned and with arms like this. Looks soooo rough and bad as you age. Sorry not sorry. To each his own…
This is NOT what natural and healthy look like…this is what an obsession looks like…
Her hair looks lovely. I actually think she is the prettier of the Middleton sisters.
Wow-I totally disagree. I think she is plain. The only things I think she has going are nice hair and a pretty smile.
One thing I notice about her is that she usually looks happy. Whatever her life is, it seems to agree with her, and she’s looked even happier since she got engaged. So good for her. Her sister sometimes looks like she’s forcing herself to look upbeat.
Very good point. I agree, her smiles seem genuine.
Silly me just thought she looks happy because she sees the paps taking her picture.
I agree with Yanni. I prefer her to Kate.
I hope she keeps up her hustle after getting married. She doesn’t always have the talent to back up her ambitions, but I enjoy her spark.
Me too, I can’t hate on her. She seems agreeable and she looks pretty here. The dress, though, would be better without the flounce on the bottom and that pocket hardware/whatever it is.
I love the dress. Nice fit, and the shoes are interesting. And when she wears her hair down, it’s not all over her face, like her sister. I don’t think she has extensions.
I would have liked a little jewelry, but that’s just me.
Agreed. She seems like she’d be a fun, good friend. Plus I think she very much (more than her sister) has the elusive “it” factor. As we saw at her sister’s wedding.
Yeah, greed is good.
I like Pippa and I even think William should have married her instead of Kate – at least Pippa seems to enjoy attending charity events – but she doesn’t look very feminine here to me.
what does feminine look like?
Not her ;-P
Softer. Body fat placement in specific areas.
Sometimes I think he married the wrong sister – I’ve always felt that Pippa would have been better suited to Royal life, she has more hustle than Waity.
I don’t think William wanted a wife with hustle. It would make it harder for him to be lazy.
I agree Pippa would be better at Duchessing than Kate. But I feel like thats because Carole was fixated mostly on Kate, even before she meet William. Pippa had to develop a good hustle to get any attention in the vacuum this left. She seems to “get it” (not necessarily all that well) and read a situation better (though again, not necessarily by much) than her older sister.
Interesting. She probably would throw herself wholeheartedly into her job, I could see it.
I think by not marrying into the RF, Pippa is a clear winner.
Right from the beginning when Kate came on the scene as William’s girlfriend people were saying she had a livelier and more outgoing sister.
I had forgotten her wedding was in 2 weeks.
I don’t mind the dress, the colour suits her and the neckline flatters (Waity needs to take notes on the neckline – it would flatter her body shape). The shoes are a no no and ruin what is a good look generally. Her skin is looking good here and she’s not as orange as she usually is – she’s been on the ‘tox and laid off the tanning.
I suspect she’s deliberately keeping a low profile to generate ‘public interest’ in her big day. *eye roll*
2 weeks! how exciting for her. The last 2 weeks of waiting are better than the day, all that anticipation.
I think she will keep at her sports stuff, she seems genuinely engaged (ha) while doing it, and she sure trains a lot. I don’t know if comparing her new life to Kate’s is fair, Will the Pill seems a lot of freaking work to me, so it takes a toll on Kate. (ok yes, I am back to being an apologist, it’s dumb I know)
I don’t like the bottom of the dress, just throws off the entire look. And I think the shoes also need to go. They take away from the dress.
Her face is full of botox and fillers. And she has a weightlifting physique, too bulky without any softness.
You think that’s bulky?
It amazes me that a woman has any muscle definition and people use all sorts of code words to imply that women don’t have muscles.
Geez, I came here to say I’m super envious of those arms. I was just thinking I should enlist a trainer. My home weight lifting routine isn’t cutting it at all.
Have you checked online for weight lifting instructional videos? There’s a lot of really good videos available for free.
Thanks, Lady D! That’s a great idea. Would love improve my weight routine without shelling out a ton of $$.
Women have muscles. We always have had them. You need muscles to lift and carry a babe on your hip, to begin with. And to give birth.
We usually don’t mimic mens’ muscles unless you want to lift weights which is a hobby/other thing and not a definer. Ours are sheathed in soft contours. Somehow this is not enough? Jesus.
hmmm, of course it’s enough. A healthy body is a blessing, but having muscle definition isn’t inherently masculine. After 40, men have to work just as hard as women do to maintain fitness. It’s difficult for either gender to have the look of an effortlessly slender figure after that point in life, so the other option is to achieve muscle definition. Pippa is younger than that, of course, but her arms are still enviable. I would love to rock a tank top with arms that toned!
Yeah, I wanna know what she’s done to her face 🤔 Fillers, I think
Yeah, I think so. She should use sunblock religiously from here on out.
Yes and Botox
It would be better if it wasn’t lace and the shoes done match. In total: meh
What’s with the lace fixation and Middleton women?
This whole look is going to be a no for me.
+1 Too fussy-flounce, beading lace and awful shoes. This look ages her by 10 years.
Those arms… too toned and muscular for my taste.
Agree.
No they look boss, I’m really jealous of people who can put on muscle.
Same here, I think they are awesome!
Oh come now. I don’t like muscle on either gender for aesthetic reasons, but you have to give props to anyone who comes by that level of fitness naturally. And yes, we should support women who look like that. She’s skinny enough that she puts on visible muscle at her level of fitness activity. Good for her!
Oh that’s okay, because I don’t think she particularly cares what your taste is.
IAWY.
I agree.
I also read the comments on the DM yesterday, almost all the “best rated” comments say the same.
Actually, the added sinew and weight loss are just pointless. She looked fine before.
I think she, like Madonna, have dieted away the fat to such an extreme that their muscles and sinews look off. Let’s compare them to actual athletes with great arms, such as Serena Williams or Venus Williams. Both of them have muscular arms that look great, but they don’t have their body in starvation mode so they don’t look weird.
Those are are naturally occurring, not a product of a targetted workout and loss of fat.
@ALFAQ: Agree!
I hope her wedding dress has sleeves, those arms are a bit too much.
She’s fit and healthy and it should be hidden? I really don’t understand why. Instead of being used for inspiration, women are being informed that they look better unhealthy? Nobody is telling Britney Spears to hide her arms, you should see the muscles on her lately. Serena should stay undercover rather than show off her flat-out amazing physique? Muscles are something we should all be aspiring to. Absolutely preferable to skin and bones or heaviness.
I don’t mean you personally, @amy, almost every comment I’ve read so far is dissing her or telling her to hide her muscles.
Thank you, Lady D.
Pippa’s obviously fit and healthy. There’s no reason whatsoever why she should hide that.
Serena Williams, Michelle Obama and Britney Spears have muscular arms that look great and not starved of fat. There is a difference between looking fit and dieting to the point where healthy fat has disappeared. Pippa looked a lot healthier and still had muscles prior to this wedding diet. Now she looks excessively thin, except where the fillers are in her face, and her arms look like those of an elderly woman instead of an athletic woman in her 30s.
The top of the dress looks fine. Then you get to the bottom and the ruffle makes it looks like a prairie dress. The Middleton sisters are conventionally pretty with basic fashion sense. They’re not the strikingly pretty with fashion forward style.
It’s like a dust ruffle, awful. Her arms look good, she’s super athletic so of course she’s in good shape and probably doesn’t need to slim down or whatever she’s up to for her wedding.
I read in DM that some weight loss supplement was “sponsoring” her pre-wedding weight loss regime. That’s why she’s suddenly so sinewy looking. IMo it probably help pay for whatever facial treaments/ botox she’s displaying above.
I love the pattern of the dress and the neckline but the length is odd. It looks like it should either be long or short but it’s hitting in the wrong place (almost ankle length). The chunky shoes might be what throws off the length.
I like the color of the dress. But the shape with the ruffles at the bottom kill it. Awful shoe choice. Although she does look pretty and rested. I admire her hustle, let’s see if she keeps it up with the charity work once married.
I don’t like the flounce, but I like the rest of the dress. The gray-on-gray lace keeps it from looking too twee. But those sandals are heinous! They look like bricks of veiny, moldy blue cheese attached to her feet….
I wonder if Pippa also sees herself as royal or is it just her mother? Hmm.
I think Pippa thinks very highly of herself.
No wonder with a mother like that.
She looks lovely!
Hideous shoes and the dress is just okay.
I think it’s the styling that kills the shoes. Dress is irredeemable on anyone.
The shoes say rock chic whilst the dress is ladies who lunch in cutprice Oscar de la renta with Palm beach hair.
Imagine those shoes paired with black/ dark blue skinny jeans and a fabulous top.
They simply don’t work with this dress. She should have gone with simple strappy sandals rather than directional ones. And not in that colour.
I’m guessing she’s getting tips from the ever fashionable Duchess of Dull.
Another Erdem mess, so overpriced and overhyped. She looks decent, but uninspiring, for someone marrying a millionaire she should be dazzling. Pity u can’t buy taste
Yeah, the Middleton women don’t have a good fashion sense. I always laugh when magazines write that Kate is a fashion icon.
Pippa, a low waist line is not your friend.
I wouldn’t wear the shoes but at least they’re slightly interesting. If I see another damn shiny nude pump I’m going to scream.
LOL………….same here.
From the neck up I think she looks great. The dress and the shoes do absolutely NOTHING for her. All that money and she still can’t get it right.
I find it interesting that when a woman has muscle on her body, some folks immediately deem it unfeminine, and some people feel so comfortable breaking it down and discussing it as though her body is there for you. It’s so icky.
Breaking news: People have different tastes. Just because you like her arms, doesn’t mean other people also have to like it.
+1
It’s NOT different taste though. It’s the commoditization of women’s bodies, and it’s gross. And it says a lot about you that you think it’s “just taste”.
@alfaQ
+1
Agree. If we discuss the body of Chris Pratt, his weight loss and snacking issues then we can comment on Pippa, expressing our opinions, taste level and preferences.
The world is large and diverse. There’s room for everyone to agree, and still sit down to a nice roast chicken dinner prepared for us by Princess Sparkles.
co sign, bridget.
great point.
prepare to have it walked passed, repeatedly.
lol.
Bridget, ITA! It’s one thing to indicate a personal preference for not liking a muscular look (I don’t care for overly toned men, honestly), but it’s another to suggest being muscular isn’t feminine. She looks amazing!
Whoa someone got plastic surgery. It looks like an eye lift or even a chin implant. I thought the last time she was photographed she looked puffy. She’s starting to look like Kate.
I also think she had an eye lift.
If I’m not mistaken she had slightly wonky eye lids that are now gone. Hmm
Cosign both upper lid blepheroplasty and chin implant. Plus fillers and botox.
I love the dress. The shoes are ok. Would have preferred something a bit more delicate myself but they’re fine. She will keep working. She strikes me as someone who feels she has something to prove to the world. That she’s not lazy, that she can succeed in her own right. I’ve always felt a bit sorry for her being trashed for each and every endeavor. It’s not her fault her sister married a Prince and she had the right to earn a living.
Isn’t she early 30s?
Her face looks like she is in 40s and arms like she is in her 50s
Did they remove every single drop of essential fat?
She looks so much older than her age
Kate also looks older than she really is. Must be the Middleton genes.
sorry but she looks older than she actually is – getting ready for a wedding shouldnt be that painful aka her arms – i dont see much joy tbh – more like a list of things to be ticked off – if she wanted privacy it cd have happened but this is just too much
She looks like Meghan Markle
Haha agree! I was wondering at what point Meghan would stop looking like Pippa and Pippa would start looking like Meghan!
Ha, you’re right! I took a 2nd look at the pics and they do resemble each other a lot, especially from the side.
i think meghan is better looking
Her weight loss does her no favours and ages her; her face looks drawn. The upper half of her face looks quite ‘rested’. She’s starting to look sinewy/stringy like Madonna. I guess you can’t be too moderately rich or too thin.
The dress is dull.
I like the shoes, but not with the dress. And I like the dress itself.
I think Pippa has more style than Kate but kind of falls into the “sister of a duchess” trap and that’s why her style looks a bit off. Like she wants to be edgier but doesn’t think it’s a good image or something so she ends up looking somewhere in the middle and it doesn’t work. And I think Kate’s problem is the opposite, her natural tendency is to be very classic but she tries to throw in these random pieces to liven up an outfit and again, it doesn’t work.
She looks at least 10 years old than she is…maybe that’s generous. The Wisteria Sisters are not aging well, due to crazy dieting, tanning and ciggies…
Minus the ruffle and the shoes, I think she looks really nice here.
Her skin looks so much better now, and her eyes do look a little different. She looks good, fit, and healthy.
Hate the dress and shoes, though. I loved the dress until I saw the flounce thing on the bottom. I truly do not understand why designers are doing that again. It was bad enough in the 70’s during the “peasant look”, it doesn’t belong on a more modern design. It looks like they had material left over and didn’t know what to do with it so they stuck it on the bottom.
It’s an awful trend. I’m old enough to remember the prairie dresses and skirts and they didn’t flatter anybody.
Shes someone Ive never found to be particularly attractive but she looks really pretty here. Very fit and its showing on her face as there’s a loss of fat but still looks good. Nice makeup! I like the dress and shoe combo too.
I think she looks nice, normal person nice, getting dressed up for an event. We’re too used to seeing perfection from actors & models with paid professionals doing their hair & makeup, & stylists choosing the outfit & accessories.
But that’s just it…do you really think in her mind she thinks she’s just a “normal gal” out on the town?? lolololol! It probably took at least 3 hrs for her to step out and look like this.
and BTW unless it’s a photoshopped print ad, I rarely see celebs looking that great either… “Normal” girl…I’m still laughing at that one!
What about the fact that this “normal girl” calls the paps whenever she goes out? This person has no job, only occasionally does charity work as a private citizen and yet she’s been photographed three times this week doing mundane things . She sees herself as someone special and is using her sister’s status as her own IMO. Just as her Carole taught her to do.
Ok, how ’bout normal woman who now has pots of money at her disposal, but still prefers to dress herself & do her own hair & makeup?
I think she’s just holding tension in her arms and flexing. Kate holds tension in her face, as evidenced by the crazy smile. I doubt Pippa’s arms look that defined when she’s relaxed. I tend to do the same thing. Either way, I think she looks fit and happy. The shoes, however, oh no, no bueno.
I think she looks great! fit and healthy. If she was going to a charity event, she was well dressed for the occasion.
I think she looks great. Whilst I would have not gone for a ruffle at the end of the dress personally, she still pulls it off. I adore the shoes.
She looks happy, healthy, and in great shape. Work it like a boss!
I don’t like bulky either, but she is NOWHERE near bulky. She’s tiny! Anyone who says she’s bulky needs to go to specsavers.
I always mistake her for Demi Moore.
I think at some angles, she looks like prince Harry’s girlfriend – forgot her name
She is glowing obviously put a huge amount of effort into fitness and diet my concern is she goes overboard with the green veg diet and the pre wedding holiday in St Barts and on the day looks crispy pretzel – are those shoes in fashion for evening events because they look a bit Day wear ?!?!?
The flounce needs to go and the length is all wrong. The shoes are not only hideous, but don’t match and make her look stumpy.
She looks older than Kate if I didn’t know them I would think she was 40. She has a strong face 😖
The wedding took almost a year to plan but the marriage will fall apart 90 seconds after the reception ends and the divorce will be finalised inside of two years. It will drag on for a year, guaranteeing Pippa endless coverage in the press. If she’s smart, she will use the exposure to promote a business venture. Most likely a range of kid’s toys bought wholesale from China that she’ll slap her name on. She should call it “Pippa the Hag”.
