Pippa takes her place in the spotlight

Her big sister Kate's been a leading light on the social circuit for a while now, so it's great to see Pippa Middleton sharing in the glamorous fun. The gorgeous brunette was snapped at a recent London bash mingling with an A-list crowd that included the likes of Rod Stewart and his clan.

Pippa is certainly a beautiful girl, who just like her sister knows how to carry herself well, so she's totally justified in wanting to make a name for herself in her own right. And with her quirky sense of style - demonstrated by the blue, floaty number she wore to the party - it's no surprise she's already making heads turn.

With the two of them now making impressive statements, both Kate and Pippa are well worth keeping an eye on - the Middleton sisters are definitely here to stay!
