Channel Pippa style in a slinky red dress.

Well, it involved an evening gown for the first time since the younger Miss Middleton wore that gorgeous Alice Temperley jade dress on the evening of the royal wedding. And this new dress was red-hot! Pippa looked sensational in this red, plunging halter neck dress in satin. She teamed this with a gorgeous Wilber and Gussie clutch bag that you can currently buy from House of Fraser for £160.
