Fashion News Roundup: Anna Wintour Made Hamish Bowles Try Out for X-Factor, Alice Temperley Thinks London Fashion Week Is Better Than New York’s, and a List of Movie Designers that Should Exist in Real Life
Alice Temperley Wants A Longer LFW: The Pippa fave feels London Fashion Week–which, at five days, is the shortest of the major four–should be extended. Says Ms. Temperley, “London’s better than New York Fashion Week now.” Alright, now tell us how you really feel! {Telegraph}
McCartney’s Collab for NYC Ballet: Stella McCartney has designed the costumes for a new ballet opening Thursday with a score penned by her dear old dad Paul. The designer feels collaborating with your father is “emotional” for anybody, but that “on another side, I know and understand I am working with Paul McCartney.” {WWD}
Fashion and Fantasy Mix in New Shopping Technology: “Augmented Realities” are growing in popularity on online shopping sites, where the obvious lack of trying-before-buying has always been a major problem. New and improved AR apps generally involve live feeds and 3-D imagery, allowing users to “try on” clothes, makeup, glasses… and grow horns?? {NY Times}

Temperley Spring 2012: Pippa Middleton Makes Her Fashion Week Debut at Temperley’s Grace Kelly-Inspired Show
I’m going to start this review by apologizing profusely to Alice Temperley, because her gorgeous spring collection did not have my full attention. And that’s not because it was boring. Just the opposite, in fact. Held in a grand hall in the British Museum, models entered through a central door, walked a circuit in front of the audience, then went to stand on the stairs in a lovely tableau. There was drama, there was sparkle, there was visible nudity under many sheer looks. But Pippa Middleton was in the front row.
Pippa quietly snuck in before the show started and a pair of guards stood in front of her until everyone was seated. I’m not sure the room really realized who was there until the photogs figured it out and all lenses were suddenly aimed at her. She looked fresh-faced and lovely, and smiled throughout the show, obviously liking what she saw. And here’s what she saw:

Is It Okay to Wear White to a Wedding Now (When You’re Not the Bride, Duh)? Kim Kardashian, Kate Moss and Kate Middleton All Seem To Think It Is
Wearing white to a wedding when you’re not that bride? It’s the cardinal wedding sin. Or it was.
Kate Middleton famously had her bridesmaids wear white–and we don’t have to tell you how well that went over, particularly for a certain, um, callipygian Maid of Honor.
Two months later the other Kate–Kate Moss, of course–also dressed her bridesmaids and flower girls (all 15 of them) in white. Guests Carine Roitfeld, Bella Freud, Naomi Campbell and Stella McCartney were also spotted wearing the shade at the wedding.
And now Kim Kardashian has jumped on the bandwagon, choosing white gowns that look remarkably like wedding dresses for her bridesmaids at recent nuptials. And while limited photos of Kim K‘s big wedding have been released, we already know that at least Lindsay Lohan wore white, and apparently the invite called for guests to wear black or white.
So what’s going on here?
Would You Rather…? Lindsay Lohan Vs. Pippa Middleton in Temperley
Everyone wants to be Pippa Middleton, including Lindsay Lohan, apparently. The troubled starlet, along with her mother and sister, were surprise guests at this weekend’s Kardashian-Humphries nuptials. She wore a long white dress–which isn’t scandalous, as guests were reportedly asked to wear black or white. However, it was the same Temperley London dress that Pippa Middleton wore to that other really big wedding earlier this year. The Royal Wedding’s breakout star wore a custom-made green version of the dress to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s reception back in April.

Poll: Helen Mirren Beats Out Jennifer Lopez and Pippa Middleton for ‘Body of the Year’
66-year-old Helen Mirren is already an Oscar winner and a Dame, but she has just earned herself another coveted title: Best Body of the Year.
The LA Fitness health club chain polled over 2,000 people and Mirren beat out such svelte starlets and models as Jennifer Lopez, Elle ‘The Body’ Macpherson, Kelly Brook and Pippa Middleton for the title, the Daily News is reporting. (Don’t worry Pippa got the consolation title “Rear of the Year.”)
When Mirren was snapped in a bikini three years ago, jaws dropped around the world (if you search Helen Mirren in Google, bikini pops up first next to her name–it’s oustered Caligula). That photo undoubtedly has a lot to do with Mirren’s win. She earned 17.7% of the votes while MacPherson came in second with 10.6% percent of votes.
Are We All Going to be a Bunch of Pippa Middleton Clones? New Reports Say Women Want her Tan, Her Bum, and her Facial Features
Pippa Middleton is still inspiring legions of women in the UK and abroad, and recently just won a very prestigious honor. Her skin tone, dubbed the “Royal Mocha,” has been voted the most desirable shade by British women looking to fake bake, the Daily Mail is reporting.
The study, commissioned by a new UK TV station, included a poll of 2,000 women who were presented with a color chart of various tan Brit celebs. The station also paraded tan models in bikinis and high heels all over London, to act as representatives of each celeb, which I’m sure cheered up a lot of people on the street. Pippa’s glow won with over 60% of the votes. The majority of the women surveyed said they feel better about themselves and sexier when they have a tan.

Set Your DVR–Pippa Middleton Is Getting a Documentary on TLC
Because of Pippa’s fascinating, um, persona, TLC is airing a documentary focused on the most famous sibling ever. The Huffington Post reports that Pippa and her infamous ass are getting an hour of TV time on August 9 at 9pm ET/PT.
Yes, it will focus on her derriere, but also on that Alexander McQueen gown, her love life, and her non-existent relationship with Prince Harry. Will we actually hear Pippa speak? That would be truly fascinating.

Following In Her Sister’s Footsteps: Pippa Middleton Lands the Cover of Tatler Magazine
Pippa Middleton graces the cover of popular British glossy Tatler‘s August issue.
The mag chose a black and white photo of Pippa from the Royal Wedding for the cover, surrounding her face in brightly colored flowers. Pippa’s older sister got the Tatler cover treatment back in February when the mag Warhol-ed one of the Duchess of Cambridge’s engagement photos. The covers are fun but we can’t wait until a fashion mag produces a real editorial with either Middleton sister.

Pippa Middleton Just Wore the Same Dress Twice in a Row and Now It’s Sold Out
Could Pippa soon be joining the ranks of Kate Middleton and Michelle Obama when it comes to selling power? Apparently, the Duchess of Cambridge isn’t the only Middleton who can move merchandise in shockingly short periods of time.
According to In Style, Pippa Middleton wore this NW3 by Hobbs red linen dress to Wimbledon this morning and it is already sold out at two different e-commerce sites. But then, we realized US Weekly spotted her shopping yesterday in the same outfit. Guess this means she’s back together with her ex-boyfriend who she was sitting next to at the tennis match!!
