This Is Why Pippa Middleton’s Christening Outfit Looked So Familiar

The dress has divided opinion

Tear your eyes away from Prince Louis, Princess Charlotte and Prince George at today’s royal christening (not to mention Meghan Markle’s olive green ensemble): it’s time to discuss pregnant Pippa Middleton’ sartorial choice.

Kate Middleton’s 34-year-old sister had a dress custom-made for the occasion by London-based designer Alessandra Rich, People reports.

“This is the first time Pippa has worn the label and we are delighted – she looked beautiful,” Rich told the publication from Milan studio.

Pippa chose the colour herself – a dusty pastel blue silk crepe de chine – which she teamed with matching hat and silver closed-toe heels.

If the design looks familiar, it’s because Suits actress Abigail Spencer wore a maxi version of the design to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s wedding in May. Unlike Middleton’s custom design, Spencer’s navy polka-dot dress hailed from the label’s Spring/Summer 2018 collection. It has since sold out.
