She was the bridesmaid that broke the internet (or thereabouts) back in 2011 when she took centre stage as Maid of Honour at Duchess Catherine and Prince William’s royal wedding.

And ever since then, Pippa Middleton has done nothing to stray from her quickly established position as a fashion force to be reckoned with.

The proof is in the pictures – and quite simply so.

In fact, Pippa’s fan-base has become all too familiar with the months of May through August each year bringing us the fashion goods from the 37-year-old.

Yep, she’s a certified summer-fashion Queen, if you ask us. From her Wimbledon day dresses to regal royal wedding ensembles, Pippa is our fashion muse for the months of warmth.

Here, we round up her best fashion moments from over the years.
