Who wouldn’t envy Pippa Middleton’s sunny half-term holiday in St. Barts with her billionaire husband James and their children?
And from the turquoise sea to her washboard abs, there was no shortage of favorable comments about Pippa when pictures of her holiday emerged in recent days.
Not only did the 39-year-old’s athletic figure catch the eye, but a truly formidable range of swimwear was also on display.
Mixing bold colors and polka dots, pastels and prints, Pippa seems to have as many outfits as regular clothes.
…and upon closer examination, the beach-loving mother of three has two pieces to match her designer wardrobe, writes CLAUDIA CONNELL.
LADY IN SCARLET
After surprising us all with her well-toned derriere at Kate and William’s wedding a few months earlier, Pippa did it again in October 2011 when she attended the Boodles Boxing Ball in a low-cut Temperley satin dress.
It’s no surprise then that she looked so stunning in red that, four years later, she wore a bikini in the same shade and with a similar halter neckline by Melissa Odabash.
She exhibited herself while on holiday in St Barts, as a single woman, with her mother Carole and brother James.

PIPPA GOES CRAZY
Just weeks after becoming the world’s most famous bridesmaid in 2011, Pippa took a girls’ break in Madrid, where she wore this ra-ra strapless dress from Theory.
And look what Santa brought for Christmas in 2019: a matching polka dot bikini!
Pippa wore the Heidi Klein two-piece suit on Christmas Day while on holiday in St Barts.
Was it a gift from husband James?

PEACH FROM A COMBO
Let’s be honest, when we hear the word ‘peach’ and ‘Pippa’ in the same sentence, it’s not usually clothes that come to mind.
But in 2014 she looked pretty in bright pink when she attended the GQ Men of the Year Awards with Hugo Boss.
She also looked like a boss when she wore this £280 halterneck bikini on her most recent holiday to St Barts from favorite designer Heidi Klein.
She wears a blush Hugo Boss dress in 2014 and ten years later, she’s rocking a barely-there peach bikini in the Caribbean this February.
ANSWER IN BLACK AND WHITE
Before marrying their respective partners, Pippa and Prince Harry always had a close, and even flirtatious, relationship.
In 2014, she wore a skin-tight Anthropologie minidress when she joined the family to support Harry at the Invictus Games.
Five years later she must have told the elves that she wanted a matching bikini because on her Christmas holidays in St Barts she was wearing one from Asceno, from their Cannes range, which looked like it was made from clippings from her Anthropologie. dress.

BLUE IS THE COLOR
In May 2019, Pippa, then mother to one-year-old Arthur, wore an elegant cornflower blue Kate Spade dress to the wedding of her former love Thomas Kingston and Lady Gabriella Windsor, with matching accessories.
And it looks like those matching accessories now include a tiny £230 Heidi Klein Stella Maris bikini, like the one worn last week on a boat trip in St Barts.

PIPPA IN THE PINK
For the evening reception at that same wedding, Pippa donned a stunning £3,000 pink dress with gold details by Erdem, one of big sister Kate’s favorite designers.
And if you thought Pippa only went to St Barts on holiday, think again. In September of last year she celebrated her 40th birthday with a trip to Lake Como, Italy, where she rocked another pink and gold combination, this time a Heidi Klein bikini (who else?).

WE ARE ALL WHITE (WITH BLACK BORDER)
You don’t have to worry about looking pale and pale when you take as many holidays as Pippa.
She was tanned and radiant at a 2016 event for the British Heart Foundation, after becoming its ambassador, in a custom-made Tabitha Webb dress.
Every tourist knows that white is the best color to show off a tan.
During her Christmas holiday in St Barts in 2019, Pippa gave Heidi Klein a break and wore this £200 bikini from London brand Biondi.

…OR JUST PRINT BLANK
The dress that started it all. In April 2011, Pippa was the head bridesmaid at her sister’s wedding, where her fitted Sarah Burton dress emphasized her incredible figure.
Thirteen years later, Pippa still loves to surprise dressed in white as she did on her last vacation in the Caribbean.
She wore a £190 bright white two-piece suit with knotted details from Vix as she played with her children at the Eden Rock hotel which, luckily, is owned by her in-laws.

ORANGE PIPES
In June 2011, Pippa visited Wimbledon with her then-boyfriend Alex Loudon.
She wore an orange linen dress by Hobbs and an oversized Modalu ‘Pippa’ bag, designed in her honour. What do you have in your bag? Bikinis?
This orange string bikini from Biondi worn during a holiday in St Barts in 2014 certainly wouldn’t take up much space in your luggage.

EMERALD GEMS
For Kate and William’s evening wedding reception, Pippa donned an emerald satin dress by Alice Temperley and, looking a shade or two darker than she did earlier in the day, might even have gotten a quick tan.
However, spray tanning is not necessary in St Bart’s.
Pippa will be golden after her most recent outing, where her impressive bikini collection included this £190 one from Brazilian brand Vix in the same eye-catching hue.
