Pippa Middleton returns to Wimbledon! The stunning sister of the Princess of Wales stepped out at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club on Monday afternoon, alongside her mother, Carole.

The lookalike mother-daughter duo looked suitably resplendent in their chic attire. Carole, 71, donned a classic white dress from ME+EM, which she layered with a blue linen blazer. She carried the Longchamp 'Le Roseau S bag' and topped her look with Longchamp sunglasses. Mother of three, Pippa, showcased her fashion credentials in a dazzling new frock from Reformation.

The summery print made for an eye-catching look, and the 42-year-old added white stilettos, a J. Crew raffia clutch bag, and a boater hat - the style her older sister has been enjoying lately.

Just like her sister Kate, Pippa has always been a longtime tennis fan. The mother of three told Vanity Fair in 2013: "I first went to Wimbledon when I was eight years old and already a very keen tennis player." 

Pippa's 2024 Wimbledon appearance

The brunette beauty famously teamed up with her big sister, Princess Kate, in 2024 to watch the Men's Singles final. The outing marked Kate's second public appearance in 2024 since the royal revealed she had been receiving treatment for cancer.

A style triumph, Pippa's dress featured three summer essentials - florals, ruffles, and a waist-defining bow. This trio of finishes ensured she stood out on Centre Court as she took her seat in the Royal Box.

Pippa's dress also had a very special meaning attached to it - it was the same frock she wore to her little brother, James', wedding to Alizée Thevenet in 2021. No doubt the style brings back wonderful memories for Pippa each time she wears it. Beulah London was founded by Natasha Rufus Isaacs and Lavinia Brennan in 2010. The sustainable fashion brand is loved not only by the Middleton sisters but also by Princess Beatrice. 

Pippa and Carole's special bond

It was the perfect girls' day out for Carole and her middle child. Pippa, who is married to hedge fund manager James Matthews, basked in the sunshine as they headed to the famous SW19 venue.
