Royals like Catherine, Princess of Wales are seen as some of the most influential fashion icons.
But, Kate is not the only Middleton to cause a commotion.
But she’s also had some fashion flops, and her aesthetic is often a little behind the times.
This is something that Pippa has done her best to emulate and, at times, accomplished flawlessly.
Stylist Charlie Anderson shared her disparaging opinion on this wedding guest look with theDaily Beast.
“This black and white wedding outfit is not bad, but it still manages to miss the mark.
Is it the matchy-matchy accessories?
Or just the lack of a modern, flattering cut that does it?”
Pippa Middleton made a fashion faux pas by wearing nude pantyhose.
They’re more often worn by dancers and elderly women than by people Middleton’s age.
But she’s been seen wearing these tights frequently, and it’s caused a lot of criticism.
Although they may keep legs warm, nude tights make an outfit feel instantly outdated.
“The only time a woman belongs in tan hosiery is if she’s performing Swan Lake!
The nude tights make Middleton’s cute, flowy dresses seem frumpy instead of youthful.
It seems hardly a weekend goes by without her putting on her Sunday best for a friend’s marriage.
But Middleton is not to blame for this outdated fashion choice.
It’s a common style that can be done quite well.
She often leans too far into traditional looks to the point of aging herself.
Instead of feeling timeless, this style ends up dated and ages Middleton.
Middleton wore a floral dress with a high neck and a traditional cut, along with a floral hat.
While the mint shade was popular in the earlier 2010s, it already felt dated by the 2018 wedding.
On top of that, the pairing with pink reminded many of an Arizona Iced Tea packaging.
Many shared side-by-side photos of Middleton in her dress next to the canned drink.

Pairing the skirt with a puff-sleeved blouse creates an old-fashioned business casual appearance for the entire look.
High-waisted skirts are a classic style that is often very flattering.
However, this took things a bit far.
The shortened chest and overly high waist look uptight and out of trend.
Along with the outdated silhouette, the colors also don’t work well.
The skirt also has a metallic effect that makes the fabric look stiff and clashes with her black stockings.
She would have appeared more fashionable with bare legs and a less high-waisted pencil skirt.
She wore an attention-grabbing fur hat and mustard-yellow peacoat.
The style of the hat seems to be inspired by ushankas, a traditional Russian winter hat.
Wearing traditional fashion pieces like this doesn’t have to look outdated.
In fact, they can be an excellent way to create a timeless and effortlessly chic appearance.
Unfortunately, the way that Pippa styled the fur hat missed the mark.
However, Kate had the good sense to pair the fur hat with an ageless neutral coat.
Just like her sister, Pippa Middleton has had some excellent style moments at the games.
The summer event is the perfect time for bright, pastel colors, florals, and airy looks.
The dress has an adorable daisy pattern, which she matched flawlessly to small flower earrings.
The design became popular in the 1970s and was seen for many decades after that.
But in recent years, wrap dresses have become less popular.
Image consultant Amanda Sanders toldThe New York Times, “Now you have to seek it out …
Most of the better designers don’t make wrap dresses.”
Middleton encountered this on the windy Wimbledon day.
Her wrap dress opened to show a good portion of her upper thigh as she was crossing the street.
But, if you were expecting a cutting-edge outfit for the fashion week event, Pippa didn’t deliver.
The knee-length dress she wore was a Temperley design (perGlamour).
The combination of the lace-like design and lightly puffed shoulders don’t make Pippa look very current.
However, Pippa’s style once again felt out of step.
The pink dress that Pippa sported definitely fell into that trap.
The long skirt and high neckline overwhelm Pippa due to the bold print.
This was not Pippa’s first time wearing the floral number.
She was also seen wearing it to her brother James Middleton’s wedding in 2021.
There’s nothing wrong with repeating outfits, and it can be a great way to reduce waste.
However, this dress was likely more stylish the first time she wore it.
Only a few years later and the pink floral fabric is already feeling out of date.
Sometimes, those bold choices pay off, and sometimes, they end up looking a bit unfortunate.
Pippa Middleton wore this daring blue dress while attending a dinner event in 2013.
Both the loose silhouette, hemline, and feathery finish are reminiscent of 1920s flapper dresses.
However, in this case, it doesn’t feel current.
