Pippa Middleton, much like her older sister, Princess Kate, has become heralded as a British style icon and fashion muse by many, consistently turning out a classy outfit for every occasion.
Though the 41-year-old wife of James Matthews, who turns 50 today, has evolved into a more reserved elegance in the past couple of years, I've always loved the looks she would put together in her more daring days.

One of my favourites is a mini dress that she wore to the Temperley London show at London Fashion Week back in 2011, which also features a callback to the Princess of Wales' wedding.
Pippa opted for a black and cream coloured mini dress from Alice Temperley, which featured the most beautiful fan pattern on the front.

Katie Daly, HELLO!'s Lifestyle Writer, was a huge fan of the outfit, saying: "I love Pippa's maximalist approach to dressing here.
"While her fashion these days is decidedly pared-back and understated, it is fun to look back at a time where she was more daring with her evening looks, taking on bold print and a shorter hemline in all their glory."
Katie also commented on how the individual pieces complemented one another perfectly, adding: "She also proves she knows how to balance an eye-catching print with black accessories so it doesn't overpower her."
Pippa's callback to her sister's wedding
In the outfit, the Princess of Wales' younger sister made a callback to the iconic wedding day from earlier in the year.

The dress, which had a beautiful satin design, featured bejewelled details at the waist and on the shoulder, oozing glamour but adding a touch of character.
