Princess Charlotte Christening: Pippa's Outfit Slammed By Etiquette Pro; Is She Competing With Princess Kate?

Pippa Middleton has been accused of "upstaging" her royal sister Catherine for arriving in Princess Charlotte's christening in cream-colored outfit and nude shoes, which is similar to the Duchess of Cambridge's ensemble. According to Daily Mail, etiquette expert William Hanson said this could have been avoided had the sisters talked about it.

Prince William's wife, who has become a global icon for her fashion choices, stunned the waiting crowd when she arrived wearing a classic knee-length cream coat dress by British designer Alexander McQueen. She was pushing Princess Charlotte's pram while walking alongside her son Prince George, together with Prince William.

Kate's dress for the recently celebrated event has a sharp shift-style silhouette, dramatic inverted neckline and exaggerated lapels. She also wore a Mappin & Webb jewellery and a Jane Taylor hat that emits sophistication with its dainty floral design.

It looks like the entire fashion details of the royal family was well-coordinated until Pippa was seen wearing almost the same as her sister's ensemble: cream-colored dress, nude pumps and a hat.

The report said that this should have been avoided especially since it was obvious that every fashion detail of the day seemed to have been carefully planned. Prince George's outfit, for instance, was almost exactly the same as the shirt and pants worn by his dad 30 years ago.

The report described the seemingly uncoordinated outfit of the sisters as a minor fashion incident though "plain irritating." The Daily Mail also noted that Pippa was wearing a dress that is also similar to her elder sister's clothing during Prince George's christening.

In a report, Stuff noted that it was not the first time that Pippa has been accused of stealing Princess Kate's "sartorial thunder." During the royal wedding of Kate to Prince William, Pippa also made headlines around the world when she arrived in her beautiful bridesmaid gown.
