Pippa Middleton's derriere has been highly publicized ever since she showed up to Prince William and Kate Middleton's royal wedding looking fierce in that gorgeous maid of honor dress. Since that day more than a decade ago, her bum has been photographed just about everywhere — from high society weddings to when she's simply trying to walk to work.
We can still remember that moment from the wedding like it was yesterday. When Pippa stepped out of her car, her royal rear stole the show! So the royal wedding sort of ended up being about Pippa's bottom, in a way (even though there's no doubt that her sister, the bride, got all of the attention she deserved that day, too). Looking back, it's kind of wild to see just how many headlines her butt managed to make, but it was all complimentary, at least.
We'll admit that it must have been at least a little weird for Pippa to know that so many people were so focused on her bum — but if she's got it, she should totally flaunt it!
Read on to see the times we couldn't look away from Pippa's bottom.
Charity Case
In this moment, Pippa and brother James Middleton were focused on a charity bike ride for the British Heart Foundation, yet the paparazzi were solely focused on snagging shots of her infamous bum. She deserves more credit for her skills than her butt, though — especially since she was named ambassador for the charity at the race that year.
Wedding Crasher
Of course, who could forget that the world's obsession with Pippa's bum all started when she wore that stunning dress to the royal wedding? Pretty sure she had no idea she was going to stir up so much talk with this one, but we can see why she did. She looked good.
Office Space
She can't even think about wearing skinny jeans without it causing a commotion. Here, Pippa was innocently headed to work, but photogs captured pics of her perky behind. We have to wonder if this kind of photography has made her happy that the skinny jeans trend has mostly come to an end.
Pleated Perfection
Even in an elegant Hugo Boss gown, the pleated detailing showed off Pippa's curves perfectly. Then again, isn't this exactly what you're looking for out of a nice designer dress? We all want to look our best, especially at fancy events, and Pippa always accomplishes that goal.
Guest Star
While attending the wedding of a friend, Pippa's butt got plenty of attention in this form-fitting lace dress. If Pippa ever decided to start looking for another stream of income, we would 100% support any efforts she might make to help people style the perfect looks to grab all the attention at weddings.
Lady Who Lunches
Pippa's bum definitely stole the show at a Vanity Fair luncheon in London, when she wore this body-hugging black skirt. Still, we think people should have been paying more attention to her shoes — these spotted heels are a statement accessory if we've ever seen one.
Runner's High
Now we know how she keeps that bum in shape — here, Pippa got caught by the paps as she went for a run in London. Not that we're surprised at all, though. Just like her sister, Pippa has always been an active person. Let the lady go on a run in peace!
Good Jeans
Basically any time Pippa wears jeans, cameras are going to snap pictures of her butt. It's a fact of life. Fortunately, it looks like she's managed to do what so many of us can't: find pairs (like these here) that perfectly accentuate her backside. We'll take any advice she's giving out!
Book It
Pippa's bum outshined her at a book signing for her party planning guide, Celebrate. Then again, if there's ever a time when she's going to want all eyes on her, this day must have been one of those times. She had a lot to celebrate at the signing, after all.
Stopping Traffic
Pippa and her bum literally stopped traffic on a visit to New York, although this scene looks seriously scary. To be totally fair, we have a feeling that this was more about the fact that the sister and the future queen consort of England were walking by than Pippa's actual butt, exactly.
Premiere Spotlight
Every so often, the royals and royal-adjacent family members get to attend a movie premiere, and it's no surprise that Pippa had the perfect dress lined up for the occasion. In a rather demure LBD, Pippa's bum still manages to garner attention at the UK debut of Shadow Dancer.
Denim Done Right
And again we ask, why can't our butts look that great in jeans? In this snapshot, Pippa was out and about in London, dressed in skinny jeans that hugged all of her curves. All those workouts at the gym have paid off big time.
Legging Looks
Pippa's butt in black leggings did not go unnoticed by photographers — not that anyone should be shocked by this, since the paparazzi have a track record of always getting shots like this, no matter where she goes or what she happens to be wearing.
Casual Creature
Even dressed down, Pippa looks all sorts of chic on her way to work in light-washed denim. We have to wonder if Kate ever wishes she could get away with an outfit like this for a packed day of royal engagements? There has to be at least a little bit of jealousy on that front!
Form-Fitting
When we wear black leggings, we look like we've let ourselves go. But when Pippa wears them with super sexy over-the-knee boots, the paparazzi giver her all of their attention. This is a style that both she and Kate have embraced; these are two ladies who have always loved their boots.
Her Own Wedding Day
Of course, Pippa stole the show on her own wedding day — just with a different look than the one she wore at Kate's. Her gown wasn't that form-fitting when she exchanged vows with James Matthews, but in this shot taken of her and her dad, Michael Middleton, outside the church, we can see that the back of her Giles Deacon dress was gorgeous.
Taking in Some Tennis
In 2017, photographers snapped this shot of Pippa attending Wimbledon with her husband (and yes, her butt once again looked good in the dress she was wearing). At this point, we're going to have to ask her to release her workout routine or something!
Beach Body
In February 2023, Pippa was snapped on a family vacation in St. Barts with James and their children, Grace, Arthur, and Michael, showing off her body (butt included) in a variety of swimsuits. After three pregnancies, this mama is still looking good — not that we ever doubted it.
