Pippa Middleton is The Royal Wedding Surprise

Pippa Middleton may be the royal wedding's surprise standout after wearing a white dress that rivaled sister Kate Middleton's lacey gown.


Pippa Middleton, 27, served as her older sister's maid of honor. She fulfilled her duties, holding the bouquet and carrying the train of Kate's gown, all in her own white ensemble.

"Does the bridesmaid or maid of honor wear white?" asked Joy Behar on "The View." "I've never heard of something...you're not supposed to compete with the bride."

The ivory satin based crepe dress was designed by Sarah Burton of Alexander McQueen, the same designer responsible for the Grace Kelly like wedding gown worn by Kate Middleton.

In royal weddings, the bridal party is typically full of younger girls whose gowns are similar to the material of the bride's dress. Kate Middleton broke tradition when choosing her sister as her maid of honor and Pippa Middleton broke tradition by wearing white.

Pippa Middleton, best friend to her sister, chose a minimalist, cowl necked, form fitting dress.

"Her dress was so sexy," said Sherri Shepherd on "The View." "I'm going to make sure none of my bridesmaids outshine me. You will be in a freaking muumuu."

Fashion experts thought the minimalist style worn by Pippa Middleton was a possible trend that Kate Middleton considered before settling on her gown.
