Pip, pip, hooray—Pippa Middleton got a haircut!

Kate Middleton's kid sister debuted her significantly shorter, shoulder-length new 'do at at annual Waitrose Summer Party Thursday in London.  

The 30-year-old party planner and socialite looked particularly pretty in an emerald green Tabitha Webb dress, which she paired with pointy-toe nude heels and understated gold accessories. She rubbed elbows with several British stars at the event, including baking guru Mary Berry and TV personalities Ben Fogle, Steve Jones and Lisa Snowdon.

The duchess' younger sister definitely looked darling for the fête, but the dress didn't direct attention to her derrière like the infamous Alexander McQueen gown she wore to the royal wedding in 2011. Pippa joked at a recent Women in Advertising and Communications dinner that the curve-hugging number taught her "recognition has upside, its downside and—you may say—its backside."

She was "glad it fitted," she said, adding, "In retrospect, it fitted a little too well."

Some think, though, Pippa's most famous asset got a little help on Kate's special day. Recently French expert Stephane Berne, who is Knight of the Order of Grimaldo in Monaco and an etiquette expert, accused the bootylicious bridesmaid of wearing "a false bottom."

"I repeat it: She had a false bottom," she exclaimed. "You take her away from that and she has normal buttocks."

We may never know the truth about her caboose. We can be sure, though, that Pippa hit the genetic jackpot when it comes to those lovely Middleton locks!
