Pippa Middleton, the 27-year-old sister of the British royal bride, Friday played her role of maid of honour to perfection, with a stunning gown in white as she guided the young troupe of bridesmaids into Westminster Abbey.
Pippa - also known as Philippa - wore a white gown made by Alexander McQueen designer Sarah Burton.
"The slinky white cowl-neck dress showed off her slender figure, with the cap sleeves keeping it youthful. The back of her dress, revealed as she carried Kate's train into the abbey, was studded with tiny silk-covered buttons," commented the Daily Mail.
Her hair was worn down for a "romantic look", with just the front part held back by a lily-of-the-valley hairpiece.
The young bridesmaids - Grace van Cutsem (three), Eliza Lopes (three), Lady Louise Windsor (seven) and the Hon Margarita Armstrong-Jones (eight) - all wore Nicki Macfarlane frocks.
The white dresses were all handmade with English Cluny lace and featured dark cream sashes, tied at the back with a large bow.
The pageboys - Tom Pettifer (eight) and William Lowther-Pinkerton (10) - were dressed in red tunics, similar to William's formal Irish Guards attire of a red jacket with gold braiding.
The uniforms, including William's, were designed by Kashket and Partners.
