Get The Look: Pippa Middleton

By Ken Synnott in Get the look, Trends on Tuesday 3rd May, 2011

The long weekend might be over, but we just can’t seem to shake the Royal Wedding fever! From the beautiful ceremony and gorgeous styling, to the all-important celebrations – a great day was certainly had by all.

However whilst all eyes were on the happy couple, Kate’s younger sister Pippa also managed to steal a bit of the royal limelight. Walking up the aisle in a breathtaking floor length creation by Sarah Burton at Alexander McQueen, she quickly found herself the focus of the world’s gaze thanks to its elegant simplicity that seemed so fitting for the occasion.

And if you’d like to recreate Pippa’s ‘wow-factor’ look, we’ve got the perfect alternative. This fab dress by Ichi features the same cowl neck and capped sleeves that we loved on Pippa’s dress, whilst also being extremely versatile allowing you to dress it up or down depending on the occassion!

To dress it up we’d pair it with this cropped jacket which features lovely bow details, along with a pair of trusty slingback heels. But if you’d rather dress it down, why not wear it with a pair of these wedged sandals that have a great cut out detailing, and this chic neutral coloured cardigan!

Ichi Cowl Neck Dress – £18

Dress it up:

F&F Limited Edition Bow Back Cropped Jacket – £35, F&F Slingback Kitten Heel Shoes – £14

Dress it down:

F&F Limited Edition Knitted Waterfall Cardigan – £16, F&F Cut Out Wedged Sandal – £15
