    Pippa Middleton wore a raspberry version of Kate Middleton's blue Issa engagement dress to a wedding over the weekend

    It's not unusual for Pippa Middleton to turn heads, and the brunette beauty did just that as she stepped out in a striking raspberry dress at a friend's wedding over the weekend. But we couldn't help feeling something about Pippa's look was a little familiar.

    And that's because it was. Embarking on a game of style snap with her famous sister, Pippa Middleton arrived at the ceremony in a £450 Issa wrap dress, the very same one Kate Middleton wore to announce her engagement to Prince William in 2010.

    Pippa wore the slinky silk-jersey Forever wrap dress, currently retailing at around £450 online, to the wedding of pal Camilla Hook to Sam Holland, grandson of Lord Attenborough, in the pretty village of Aberlady, East Lothian in Scotland.

    The youngest Middleton sister, joined by friends, as well as her parents at the ceremony, accessorised her eye-catching Issa dress with a statement floral hat, a black clutch and black suede heels.

    Although Pippa's look was slightly more adventurous, her Issa dress was almost identical to the one worn by Kate Middleton to announce her engagement to Prince William at Buckingham Palace in 2010.

    The bride-to-be chose the stunning sapphire dress for the official engagement photocall - the perfect match to that ring - which promptly sold out around the country.

    Now it seems Pippa is yet another of Kate Middleton's style fans. But who do you think wore the dress best?
