Pippa Middleton's above-the-knee dress and shoes are bang on trend for 2025

Just five months after her sister's royal wedding to Prince William, Pippa was spotted during the day in Kensington, meeting with friends before picking up a hot drink and some baked goods. 

She rocked an understated white sundress with a scooped neckline and capped sleeves. The feminine broderie number was fitted at the waist before flaring down to the knee. It was paired with a number of scarlet accessories, including a pair of crimson ballet pumps with a sweet bow adornment.

Pippa proved they were a timeless fashion item as she stepped out wearing the exact flats a year later for a day in London when they accessorised a floral navy dress and red cardigan pairing, and during a trip to New York two months later.

Red ballet flats are everywhere this summer, styling them with every outfit from light dresses like Pippa to mid-wash jeans and blouses.

Pippa is still a fan of a lovely summer dress, though more recently she has swapped her ballet flats for heels. Last summer, the royal's sister made several appearances at Wimbledon, including in the royal box with Kate and her niece, Princess Charlotte, 10.

The younger Middleton sister wore a pink floral dress with a tie waist and cape detail by Beulah. It was paired with a tan suede clutch and a pair of oversized shades to brave the July sun.

Two days prior, she attended the summer event of the year with her husband. She looked like a 70s It-girl in a blue floral jumpsuit by Claire Mischevani, which lengthened her silhouette and had a waist-cinching effect.

Perhaps her greatest summer look, however, was the lemon yellow coat dress by Claire Mischevani she wore to King Charles' coronation last May. The tailored midi number was paired with a matching pastel fascinator and nude pumps and was a sartorial hit.
