Attention! Sexy Gal in the Stands at Centre Court!

While sis Kate was busy winning-over the citizens of Canada, tennis-loving Pippa took in an afternoon of the game again today at Wimbledon. She watched two matches, first Novak Djokovic’s clash with Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and then Andy Murray’s showdown with Rafael Nadal (so hot)!

Pip wowed the crowd in a super-sexy (and quite see-through…scandalous!) sleeveless knit black dress. She accessorized her look with her trademark tan “Pippa” Modalu handbag and signature large black sunglasses.

Kate’s sis left rumored beau Alex Loudon at home (or maybe work?) for the day and was accompanied by “good friend”, ex-boyfriend and current boss George Percy.

Is it just us, or does Pip’s hair look a little darker? Maybe just the lighting?

We had a feeling she wasn’t going to let Kate steal all the thunder today!

Sorry fellas of the world…she’s still a taken woman!

Pippa Middleton put her relationship-woe rumors to bed today, finally being seen with “on” boyfriend Alex Loudon.

The pair were spotted with Pip’s ‘rents Carole and Michael at Wimbledon Centre Court taking in a match between Swiss hottie Roger Federer and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga.

Kate’s sis was dressed in a fabulous red-linen figure-hugging frock with gold button detailing by NW3. The cap-sleeved “Wyldes” dress was on sale on the site for $142. A quick trip shows that the item has already taken on the “Middleton Effect” and has sold out in all sizes. Keep a watch though for a restock!

Ironically enough, Pippa was seen wearing the same dress while shopping in London yesterday at shoe-store Russell & Bromley (thanks for the tip, @KateFan). Guess she likes the look to sport it two days in a row!

Pippa paired the look with her namesake “Pippa” Modalu tan handbag and matching espadrilles. Boyfriend Alex was her best accessory, however, looking extremely handsome in his tan trousers with matching navy blue jacket and light-blue striped tie.

Apparently we weren’t the only ones impressed by Pip’s look. Aussie celeb Dannii Minogue gave a “thumbs-up”, tweeting, “Whoop #WeLove Pippa Middleton’s red dress @Wimbledon today. Tres chic!”

Indeed!

Wills & Kate Hit Wimbledon!

Stunning in Alice Temperley!

Kate took some time out from packing for her upcoming trip to Canada and the US to attend Wimbledon today!

The tennis-loving Duchess and hubby Wills attended the fourth-round match between Britain’s Andy Murray and Richard Gasquet of France, sitting in the Royal Box on Centre Court, natch!

Clarence House confirmed the sighting via Twitter (@ClarenceHouse) saying, “The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have arrived at @Wimbledon for a private visit – they are both #tennis fans.”

Kate stunned in keeping in the all-white tradition of the All England Club, wearing an Alice Temperley “Moriah” dress. She paired her tiered pleated sleeveless frock with scalloped-strap detailing with taupe heels and clutch and carried a brown jacket along for good measure.

Wanna get your hands on the look? Better head over quickly to CSee who has the dress ON SALE for a cool $632 (down from $1,270). Looks like our fair Duchess enjoys a deal too!

Does this girl do ANY wrong in the fashion department? Flawless once again!

Pippa Hits Wimbledon

Just Another Day of Networking! © AELTC/Alexandra Willis via Wimbledon.com

Since Kate has gone back into hiding after braving five straight days of Royal duties, it’s given UKate an opportunity to keep up with Pippa this week!

Yesterday we reported that Pip might be heading to the South of France for the summer. Well, she hasn’t left the safe confines of the UK just yet – she was spotted yesterday getting her tennis on, watching super-hot Roger Federer during practices for Wimbledon.

We all are acutely aware that both Kate and Pip are huge fans of tennis – and are both quite accomplished players. And, we’ve spotted Pippa a couple of times over the past month receiving the VIP treatment for a couple of major matches.

From the looks of this photo, we’re guessing she’ll be watching The Championships, Wimbledon in grand style!

For those readers who aren’t tennis buffs, here’s a quick lesson on Wimbledon via Wikipedia:

The Championships, Wimbledon, or simply Wimbledon, is the oldest tennis tournament in the world and is considered by many to be the most prestigious. It has been held at the All England Club in the London suburb of Wimbledon since 1877. It is one of the four Grand Slam tennis tournaments – the other three Majors are the Australian Open, French Open and US Open – and the only one still played on the game’s original surface, grass, which gave the game of lawn tennis its name.

In other words – it’s kind of a big deal.

There have been rumors circulating for months that Kate might eventually take on the prestigious role of Royal Representative for Wimbledon, but given that she is slowly taking on duties – and her trip to Canada will overlap with this year’s finals – it looks like Pippa might be representin’!

Kate’s sis was looking stylish as ever, wearing a salmon and black color “Two Tone” dress ($59.90) from Zara with a black cropped jacket. And yes, this is the same dress that Pip was seen in a few weeks ago while running errands in London – just a different color. A check on the website shows a similar version with polka dots. Super cute!

Ladies, we all know that when you find a style that works for you, when in doubt…buy both colors! Are we right?

Kate – Queen of Wimbledon?

So you’re Kate Middleton…

You’ve locked down arguably one of the most eligible bachelors in the world. You’ve just quit your day job to plan the wedding of the decade. Come April 29, you’ll make the transition from commoner to Royal (not to mention, the future Queen of England). Can life get any better?

Apparently so!

Britain’s Daily Mail reports that Kate may be up for an additional prestigious role – Royal representative at the Wimbledon tennis championships.

For our readers who are not tennis buffs, here is a quick rundown on Wimbledon:

The Championships, Wimbledon is considered one of the most prestigious tennis tournaments in the world. Held at the All England Club in the London suburb of Wimbledon since 1877, it is also the oldest standing tennis tournament.

It is one of the four Grand Slam tennis tournaments and takes place over two weeks in late June and early July. Additionally, it is the only tournament still played on the game’s original surface, grass, which gave the game of lawn tennis its name.

To make a long-story short, it is a pretty big deal. And it seems Kate would be a perfect representative.

According to a friend, “Kate adores everything about tennis and would love to have an official role at Wimbledon.” The Mail added, “Palace aides have discussed the idea of Kate taking on the role in the hope she will bring a touch of glamour to the tournament in the wake of her marriage to Prince William.”

Kate has often attended Wimbeldon with her mum, Carole, and is often seen hitting the courts at the Harbour Club in Chelsea. She is an accomplished player and apparently frequently bests Wills on the court. (Holla!)

Currently the Duke of Kent – the Queen’s first cousin and president of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club – has the job of presenting trophies to Wimbledon.

But don’t expect him to get the boot just yet. A Royal source said, “The Duke of Kent does a sterling job and there’s certainly no talk of him being axed, but there is a suggestion that Kate could present the trophy at the ladies’ finals. She will certainly be seen in the Royal Box in the future.”

Naturally, Buckingham Palace is mum on the news. A spokesman for the Palace would only say, “It’s too early to say. There are a lot of possibilities for Catherine.”

We think Kate would be a hip addition to the Wimbledon festivities; adding a touch of youth to the games. Readers, what are your thoughts? Would the addition of Kate draw you to watch Wimbledon? Sound off!

It's Good to Be Queen
