Though not a royal like her sister the Princess of Wales, Pippa Middleton has an equally accomplished sense of style.
Prince William's sister-in-law, 40, has been making sartorial statements long before her sister married into the royal family. In fact, a certain look from 2008 may be her best red carpet look to date.

Pippa was seen chatting with close friends Olivier Inge and Charlie Gilkes, the brother-in-law of tennis icon Maria Sharapova.
Pippa's 2008 wardrobe

Meanwhile, her younger sister who has since married hedge fund manager James Matthews, was unrecognisable in a sequinned black mini dress with cerise legwarmers.
Pippa's red carpet looks

Most recently, Pippa stunned at the Heart Hero Awards at Glaziers Hall in London. She wore a lacy green dress by Self-Portrait with puffed sleeves styled with red suede heels.
