    Kate Middleton and Pippa Middleton sat front row to watch Andy Murray at Wimbledon yesterday, but it was their style that REALLY got us talking...

    Kate Middleton and Pippa Middleton bagged front row seats at Wimbledon yesterday, to watch tennis ace Andy Murray play Roger Federer in a piece of sporting history. And while it certainly was a match to remember, it was the Middleton sisters' style that really got us talking…

    The Duchess of Cambridge and her immaculately dressed royal sister indulged in an impressive sporting style-off as they arrived to watch the match. But was Kate or Pippa Wimbledon's best dressed?

    As per usual, Kate Middleton was on spectacular style form, looking both cool and chic in a neutral £275 Joseph Vanessa dress, and matching off white £475 Nessie tweed jacket.

    Far from new, style recycling star Kate's clothes have all been seen before - the jacket at the Epsom Derby last year (worn with a sell-out Reiss dress) and the dress during her royal visit to Canada.

    So far, so stylish. But Pippa Middleton was in hot pursuit…

    For her Wimbledon outing, Pippa chose an attention-grabbing £350 peplum dress by Dannii Minogue's label Project D, in a delicate blue shade with a pretty swallow print.

    Clearly a fan of Dannii's dresses, Pippa was first spied out in one of Miss Minogue's designs last year, when she wore a slinky printed black dress to a Breakthrough Breast Cancer dinner.
