If Pippa Middleton's Christening Dress Looks Familiar, It's Because This Actress Wore It to the Royal Wedding

Jul 12 2018 - 12:35pm

Pippa Middleton stepped out for Prince Louis's christening [1] to support her sister, Kate, who chose white Alexander McQueen [2] 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 [3] with husband James Matthews [4] or is just making like Kate, who wore blue over and over [5] throughout her third pregnancy, we like her in this look quite a lot. Interestingly enough, it turns out that Meghan Markle [6]'s former Suits costar Abigail Spencer wore a longer version of the dress in a polka-dot print [7] 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.
