If Pippa Middleton's Christening Dress Looks Familiar, It's Because This Actress Wore It to the Royal Wedding
Pippa Middleton stepped out for Prince Louis's christening to support her sister, Kate, who chose white Alexander McQueen for the occasion. Pippa could've selected her design, a custom Alessandra Rich shirtdress with long sleeves, a pleated skirt, and a drop waist, button-adorned bodice, simply because she liked it. Or, yes, she could be making a statement with that baby blue shade.
Whether it means Pippa is expecting a boy with husband James Matthews or is just making like Kate, who wore blue over and over throughout her third pregnancy, we like her in this look quite a lot. Interestingly enough, it turns out that Meghan Markle's former Suits costar Abigail Spencer wore a longer version of the dress in a polka-dot print to the royal wedding. Read on to see how Pippa finished her look with a netted fascinator, silver, ankle-strap heels, and a satin clutch, then shop some inspired outfits for your closet.
