We love Pippa Middleton's throwback look from 2011, with her mini dress being both the perfect day-time dress and evening look.
Pippa Middleton's street style has always stuck a perfect balance between being laid-back and sophisticated, with her elevated styling creating some incredibly memorable looks. From her Parisian chic take on low-rise jeans and loafers that we fell in love with, to her 2011 look of a striking knitted dress and leopard print scarf combination, her wardrobe is filled with versatile and well-loved pieces.
Now, another of the a-lister's 2011 outfits has now caught our attention, and we can't wait to recreate the look.
Stepping out in an elevated mini dress with a summer-ready and loose-fitting shirt style top and colour-blocked body-con skirt, Pippa looked stunning as she walked down a London high-street.
Her dress was from Zara and though it's not available from the store anymore, many similar styles can still be picked up.

We sold on this stunning colour block maxi dress from John Lewis. A plunging neckline and elegant tie-back, this is a stunning summer dress at a bargain price. Reviews note the material is quite see through, but swimwear or shorts and a cami underneath and you're good to go.
If you're just starting out with adding colour to your wardrobe, this beautiful Evangeline colour block dress is the one for you.

The navy and pop of pink is super chic, and can work for casual and special occasions.
For something a bit more formal with a little more coverage, this colour block midi dress from Reiss oozes sophistication. An investment piece, the neutral tones make it perfect for autumn, but also easy to style whatever the season.

We love Pippa's day-time styling of this dress, with her neutral espadrille heels and matching tan-brown leather handbag complimenting the green tone while also softening the harsher blocked black colour.
The silhouette of the dress makes it the perfect versatile piece to take you from day-to-night with ease, with it being casual enough to work as elevated day-wear and also impossibly elegant in it's colours and fit to make work just as well for a date-night or party look.
We can see the look working equally as well with a pair of the best white trainers on the market for those days where you might be walking more than usual but still want to wear something elevated. For night-time, we'd swap the shoes out for a pair of sultry knee-high boots that will keep us dancing all night long in comfort while still ensuring we look fabulous.
Pippa's windswept hairstyle, as well as her natural makeup look, further leaned into the laid-back look, with her deep side-parting and flattering, swopping side-fringe framing her face beautifully.
The side-parted, voluminous hairstyle was a staple of celebs back in 2011 and it still is now over a decade on. The easy-going yet stylish look has been spotted on numerous a-listers with side-swept hair being a huge - and easy-to-recreate - trend that everyone's wearing this season.
