Pippa Middleton's Chelsea-girl wardrobe from her 20s is nothing short of spectacular.

While her elder sister, the now Princess of Wales, was dating her future husband, Prince William, the sister duo regularly enjoyed the affluent cobbles of the King's Road, living in a luxurious £1.8 million flat on Old Church Street.

Pippa looked spectacular in the striking number

Throughout their stay, the pair were frequently photographed attending glamorous champagne receptions among the hoi polio of the upper echelons of society, and with it came a slew of sensational outfits. 

One that we simply can't forget about is when Pippa attended the Tatler 300th anniversary party in 2009, wearing the yellow minidress of dreams.

Yellow is certainly Pippa's colour

The dress in question was a brilliant hue of sunshine yellow and featured a dramatic one-shoulder neckline and ruffled rara skirt. Accentuating her svelte waist, Pippa accessorised the piece with a waist-cinching black belt, complete with a bow. 

Keeping her makeup strictly noughties, the now-mother-of-three opted for dark kohl eyeliners, bronzed cheeks and subtle nude lipstick. Meanwhile, she wore her dark, layered tresses immaculately.

Pippa's case for yellow

Pippa made a brilliant case for yellow

Two years prior, Pippa made another serious case for the sunny shade while attending a book launch with her now-royal sister. The occasion came amid Kate's rockier months during her relationship with Prince William.

The sister duo were the toast of Chelsea

This time, Pippa chose a plunging satin gown in butter yellow, adorned with black and colourful flowers. She paired the look with killer black heels and an of-the-era capped sleeve shrug.

Meanwhile, Kate looked equally as fabulous for the outing, wearing a champagne-hued lace gown complete with black patent peep-toe heels. Honouring the aforementioned noughties glam code, both sisters opted for the ultimate noughties glam, meaning black kohl liner was on the menu.
