This week Pippa Middleton has dramatically raised the style stakes. Not satisfied with her domination of the pretty-day-dress circuit, she is going after the dazzling cocktail wear department too. She did pretty well, I will give her, in this feathered Matthew Williamson number as she attended a function with London mayor, Boris Johnson, this week.

Pippa also attended a ball on the weekend, wearing South African born designer Catherine Deane. And while I don't love that burnt orange colour, I do think that Pipps is bringing something special to our usual selection of evening gowns. And of course, we always like to support our SA exports.

Then, in case we were getting complacent about her day wear too, P-Middy pulled out the leather leggings. Admittedly very nicely paired with that white blazer and a pair of ballet flats. I actually can't fault this look on her. It is cool. It fits well. She looks great. I like this version of Pippa. Don't you?
