Pippa Middleton seems to be finding fashion inspiration in a quintessential staple often seen in her older sister’s wardrobe.
Tonight, Pippa arrived at Westminster Abbey alongside her parents, Michael and Carole Middleton, as well as royal-in-law Zara Phillips, for the Together at Christmas carol service, which will be hosted by Princess Kate.
Pippa’s outfit seemed to be a nod to Kate’s look, with the two sisters matching in the same deep shade of purple maroon. Kate wore a sleek wrap dress with structured shoulders and two gold button buckles pinned above her waist. She kept her accessories within the same monochromatic palette, wearing maroon pumps, gloves, and a croc-embossed clutch.
Meanwhile, Pippa’s look was a nearly identical shade of plum. The younger Middleton even opted to wear a belted coat dress, a silhouette known to be favored by the Princess of Wales. Pippa finished off her ensemble with a pair of knee-high maroon boots and a black belt cinched at her waist.
(It’s worth nothing that Zara also arrived wearing the same color scheme as the Middleton sisters; she cut a dashing figure in a maroon coat layered over a black dress, opaque tights, and black pumps.)

A press release from Kensington Palace described this evening as a service that "will celebrate and showcase the joy that human connection can bring: forging friendships and strengthening communities, creating legacies of humility and kindness, whilst also providing relief and comfort in times of difficulty or loss. The service will combine both traditional and modern elements, reaching people of all faiths and none."
ITV will broadcast the event on December 24.
