Pippa Middleton's summer wardrobe is the stuff of dreams, and we don't just mean her latest sartorial portfolio.

Throughout her 20s, whilst trotting around Chelsea with her future royal sister, the now Princess of Wales, Pippa served up some serious noughties fashion inspiration, and we are still completely dazzled.

One fateful day back in 2009, Pippa stepped out with her elder sister at the polo, watching Kate's future husband, Prince William, play. Glass of wine in hand, the sister-duo took in the summer sunshine while looking on at the match.

Showing off her fabulously toned legs, Pippa donned a navy blue sun dress for the occasion, which she paired with a classic pair of white cork wedges and stylish brown sunglasses.

Meanwhile, Kate opted for Jeans and brown heeled boots.

That isn't the only summer look we have loved casting our minds back to of late, as Pippa was really one of the most glamorous Chelsea It-girls of her generation. 

Another look we loved from the now mother-of-three was when Pippa ventured out on a bike ride, near her £1.88 million Chelsea apartment, which she shared with her royal sister and their younger brother, James Middleton.

This time, Pippa chose a blue and purple floral sundress for her SW3 foray, its spaghetti straps showing off her flawless suntan. Pippa paired the number with tanned flip-flops and sunglasses.

Kate and Pippa were often seen frequenting high society events throughout their 20s and based out of their sprawling home in the affluent borough.

James wrote about the apartment in his recent memoir, Ella: The Dog Who Saved My Life, recalling how Prince William would call round to the property while he and Kate were dating.

"By now, William has been dating Catherine for six years, so I know him well and there is no scramble to clear up when he comes to supper. 

"Sometimes I'll be walking back to our flat late in the evening when an officer in a police protection car, parked discreetly up the road, alerts me to the fact that William is visiting, and Ella and I will make an extra lap of the block to delay our return."

James also candidly admitted that the home would get "messy" thanks to his visits! 

He wrote: "I still have a toehold in Edinburgh but spend more time in London now, where Pippa and Catherine are not too thrilled to have their little brother disrupting their orderly, tidy existence, strewing damp clothes over the bathroom floor, leaving unwashed crockery in the sink and letting Ella pad wet-pawed across the living room carpet."

He added: "But they bustle round in their kind, sisterly way, clearing up after their messy little brother with only the mildest of rebukes."
