Pippa was photographed today at the Goring Hotel, along with her mother and father, for the opening of the London version of Mustqiue's renowned Basil Bar.
As some of you readers may know, I am a BIG fan of purple, big, BIG fan ♥ ♥ ♥ it. I am not a huge fan of Pippa's style- it is very reminiscent of Kate's style pre engagement (i.e. slightly dowdy) style, and even elements of her post engagement style (Pippa is wearing the same shoes here that Kate wore at the Epsom Derby a few days ago and also rocking sheer tights, something that neither of the sisters would have been caught dead wearing prior to the engagement). I do like that she is wearing purple again (purple accents were also seen at her last public appearance at the triathlon).
Now let's discuss Carole Middlton's dress. I think she looks great (and I'm not going to even add the common stipulation of 'for her age') BUT I do think it is slightly too much thigh for a woman of 'her age' (...fifty six) to be flashing, particularly when that person happens to be the mother of the future queen of England.
When I wished that a certain Middleton female would flash more thigh... I didn't mean Carole (sorry m'am!).
