A shimmering red dress worn by Pippa Middleton seems to have inspired a range of festive outfits sold on her family's website.
The risqué number, which the Duchess of Cambridge's sister wore to a charity boxing ball, featured a neckline plunging below her bust.
And a selection of sexy Miss Santa dresses on the Middletons' Party Pieces website seem to replicate the style.

Dazzle them in a red dress like Pippa's

Back in 2011, Pippa stole the show at a boxing match with this revealing gown. Making a bold wardrobe choice, Kate's sister showed off her fantastic body in the low-cut satin number and, just in case she hadn't dazzled onlookers enough, she added gold shoes and a glittery clutch.

Pippa's gown was by Temperley London (seen in its original white colourway on the right), a designer which we've often seen her and her sister in. The green dress that P-Middy wore to her sister's wedding reception was by the brand too, and she's been spotted on the front row at the label's fashion shows in the past.

Pippa's dress has sadly now sold out - due in part to the Middleton effect, no doubt. But if you have a formal event to attend, this is still a style worth emulating.

We've searched high and low to bring you the best red gowns online and available to buy right now. The festive shade is perfect for the Christmas party season, so don't delay - shop our stunning picks below and you're sure to be the belle of the ball.

This year, Michael Middleton will have plenty of options to choose from on his own website, which includes seven varieties of men's Father Christmas costumes.
The revealing ladies' Party Pieces costumes are not likely to be worn at the royal family's festive get-together at Sandringham.
