Pippa Shines

Maid-of-Honor, Pippa Middleton, in Alexander McQueen

While Kate Middleton was certainly the star of the show, her younger sister Pippa didn't exactly blend into the background. I thought she looked especially gorgeous. I loved her body-conscious maid-of-honor gown. It was chic, a little bit sexy but not inappropriately so.  And her choice of a bright green gown for the post-ceremony party was a great one. The color was perfect on her. Being the sister of a princess may not always be easy, but it seems like she'll stand on her own just fine -- style-wise, anyway!

 While the spotlight was on the princess bride, of course, the pressure was on the royal wedding guests to come well-heeled and turned out.  A Philip Treacy hat was de rigueur.
