Pippa Middleton’s red lace dress for a UK charity gala: cheap or cute?

Author: | Filed under: Celebrities

The stars aligned yesterday and all of the Middleton children went to work. It was positively shocking! Pippa Middleton and her brother James both attended last night’s British Heart Foundation’s gala, the Roll Out the Red Ball, in London. These are the photos from the event. I don’t have an ID on Pippa’s red lace dress, but I’m not really a fan. It’s not as bad as most of her clothes, but it’s still pretty cheap-looking. I think she’s styled poorly too – she’s trying to do some sausage curls like her sister and they just look sort of limp. And she’s super-orange too, probably a mix of a genuine Mustique tan plus fake tanner. Let me just say this too – I’m half-Indian and I have lovely Indian coloring and I just compared my skin color to Pippa’s and she’s SO much darker than me.

Both Pippa and James came to the event with their significant others too. This is the first time Pippa has been seen with Nico Jackson in a while. Nico was NOT invited to Mustique for Carole’s big 60th birthday celebration, and I’m pretty sure Nico is living in Switzerland for work these days. I wonder why Nico and Pippa don’t just break up? James’ date was his long-time girlfriend Donna Air. The rest of the attendees were pretty C-list, as you can imagine. The Middletons were the biggest “celebrities” there. Meh, at least they did something for charity, you know? Pippa even donated an old dress for an auction.

Meanwhile, as I said, Duchess Kate was out and about for “work” yesterday too. Very undercover work. No photos, no grand announcement, no welcoming committee or anything. Just a confirmation that Kate spent about 90 minutes at the Bethlem and Maudsley Hospital School in Beckenham, Kent. It was part of her work with Place2Be (she’s the patron of Place2Be). You can read more about the visit here. It’s being described as an opportunity for Kate to learn more about this work. I have mixed feelings – one of the reasons why these charities and organizations want royal patrons is to get more attention and more money. Why go so undercover? The KP Twitter account didn’t even release an official photo or anything.
