Replica of Pippa Middleton’s Iconic Bridesmaid Dress on Sale Now [PHOTOS]
Pippa Middleton became a household name when she floated down the aisle in that iconic Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen bridesmaid gown for sister Kate's wedding. Middleton was a vision in the cowl neck, ivory dress. Millions of women around the world wanted to some day wear a gown like that.
Well, now they can.
The fashion house of Alexander Mcqueen (that clothed both Middletons that day) just launched a replica of Pippa's famous dress on Net-a-porter Tuesday.
The gown looks identical to the one that the younger Middleton sister wore as the bridesmaid in the Royal Wedding on April 29. The silk-crepe ensemble, with a timeless classic silhouette, is perfect for any bride.
Net-a-porter writes: Beautifully cut, elegant and timeless, Alexander McQueen's silk-crepe gown will make an exquisite choice for your wedding day. The signature accentuated shoulders and draped neckline are effortlessly flattering - style a clean silhouette with swept-back hair and drop earrings for radiant, understated appeal.
Elle UK reports that this dress has some slight differentiations, including absent lace trim along the neck line and the row of buttons down the spine replaced with a zipper.
Net-a-porter matches the dress with a Bottega Veneta clutch, dainty Jimmy Choo evening heels, and Lulu Frost drop earrings.
They recommend, Those with a curvy figure may wish to take the next size up. Hopefully it will flatter all derrieres in the way it did Pippa's.
This dress is on sale for £1,995. It is only available on Net-a-porter's UK Web site. Hours after going on sale, these dresses have already begun to quickly sell out, according to FOX News.
Net-a-porter U.S. also sold a comparable McQueen piece is in a deep crimson color with a similar shape to Middleton's. The wool crepe fabric of this dress drapes into the same cowl neck as Middleton's silk-crepe one and features similar cap sleeves. It is knee, not floor, length.
Net-a-porter writes: Designed with a similar silhouette to the gown worn by Pippa Middleton for the Royal Wedding, Alexander McQueen's sculpted wool-crepe dress is an exquisitely flattering investment piece. Play up the stunning intense-red hue with black accessories and showcase the elegant cowl neck with a chignon.
The Net-a-porter version was on sale for $1,680; but has since sold out.
Other replicas have popped up since the Royal Wedding, but the Net-a-porter version is by far the closest match considering it is designed by the McQueen label.
