Who wouldn’t be jealous of Pippa Middleton’s sun-soaked vacation in St. Barts with multimillionaire husband James and their kids?
And from the turquoise sea to her washboard abs, there was no shortage of positive comments about Pippa as photos from their holiday emerged in recent days.
It wasn’t just the 39-year-old’s athletic figure that turned heads, as there was also a truly formidable range of swimwear on display.
Combining bold colors and polka dots, pastels and patterns, Pippa seems to own as many two-pieces as she does regular clothes.
…and on closer inspection it turns out the beach-loving mother of three has two pieces to match her designer wardrobe, writes CLAUDIA CONNELL!
LADY IN SCARLET
Fresh from surprising us all with her well-toned bum 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 plunging satin dress from Temperley.
It’s no surprise that she looked so ravishing in red that four years later she donned a bikini in the same shade and with a similar halter neckline by Melissa Odabash.
It was seen on holiday in St. Barts – as a single woman – with her mother Carole and brother James.

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

PEACH OF A COMBO
Let’s be honest: When we hear the word “peach” and “Pippa” in the same sentence, it’s usually not the clothes that come to mind.
But in 2014 she looked stunning in glossy pink as she attended the GQ Men of the Year Awards at Hugo Boss.
She also looked boss when she wore this £280 halter bikini on her most recent holiday to St Barts, from favorite designer Heidi Klein.

BLACK AND WHITE ANSWER
Before marrying their respective partners, Pippa and Prince Harry always had a close – and even flirty – relationship.
In 2014, she wore a flowing mini dress from Anthropologie as she joined the family to support Harry at the Invictus Games.
Five years later she must have told the elves she wanted a matching bikini, because on her Christmas holiday to St Barts she wore one from Asceno, from their Cannes range, which looked like it could have been made with pieces from her Anthropologie . dress.

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

PIPPA IN THE PINK
For the evening reception at the same wedding, Pippa changed into a dazzling £3,000 pink dress with gold detailing by Erdem, a favorite designer of big sister Kate.
And if you thought Pippa only went to St. Barts on vacation, think again. In September last year, she celebrated her 40th birthday with a trip to Lake Como, Italy, where she wore another pink and gold ensemble – this time a Heidi Klein (who else?) bikini.

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

…OR JUST WOW IN WHITE
The dress that started it all. In April 2011, Pippa was chief bridesmaid at her sister’s wedding, where her figure-hugging Sarah Burton dress highlighted her amazing figure.
Thirteen years later, Pippa still loves to impress in white, just like on her most recent Caribbean vacation.
She wore a bright white £190 two-piece with knotted detail from Vix as she played with her children at the Eden Rock hotel, which is conveniently owned by her in-laws.

ORANGE PITS IT
In June 2011, Pippa visited Wimbledon with then-boyfriend Alex Loudon.
She wore an orange linen dress from Hobbs and carried an oversized Modalu ‘Pippa’ bag designed in her honour. What does she have in the bag? Bikinis?
Worn during a vacation in St. Barts in 2014, this orange string bikini from Biondi certainly wouldn’t take up much space in her luggage.

GEMSTONES IN EMERALD
For the evening reception at Kate and William’s wedding, Pippa donned a satin emerald dress from Alice Temperley and, looking a shade or two darker than earlier in the day, she might even have had a quick spray tan.
However, St Bart’s does not require a spray tan.
Pippa will be golden brown after her most recent outing, where her impressive collection of bikinis included this £190 bikini from Brazilian brand Vix in the same striking colour.
