Awkward! Pippa Middleton And Lisa Snowdon Wear Matching Outfits

Guess that's what you get for choosing such a popular colour...

Pippa Middleton is used to making headlines for her fashion choices - but we're guessing this isn't what she had in mind.

The Duchess of Cambridge's younger sister chose a lace Tabitha Webb frock in a lovely jade colour for the annual Waitrose Summer Party on Thursday. Problem is, Lisa Snowdon turned up in a strikingly similar ensemble.

Though the TV presenter's dress was a shift style with a much shorter hemline, the two garments were the exact same shade of green. And to add injury to insult, both ladies accessorised with nude handbags and nearly identical pointy-toed courts.

Luckily, they seemed to have a sense of humour about the fashion face-off, as they happily chatted over champagne and posed for pictures together.

Though her boyfriend Nico Jackson was noticeably absent, Pippa, 30, had plenty of mates to keep her entertained. After the cocktail party, she joined her brother James Middleton, his girlfriend Donna Air and their friend Tom Kingston for a relaxed dinner at Trishna Indian restaurant.

Just a typical Thursday evening for the siblings of royalty...
