Pippa Middleton Parties In Paris Like It's 1779

Filed Under: Fashion Smashion Party Poppin' Francophilia Pippa Middleton

Pippa Middleton stepped out in Paris on Saturday looking like a modern and hip Marie Antoinette for Arthur de Soultrait's 18th century-themed birthday party.

Rather than dressing up in full-on Marie Antoinette garb, Pippa paired her pink costume with her favorite Whistles leather jacket, black leggings, gold snake print heels and a Lamb 1887 clutch.

It's so nice to see our precious Pippa again, we just wish she got more dressed up for the theme.

Marie Antoinette’s Silk Mules Sell For A Lotta Ca$$$h

Filed Under: Fashion Smashion Francophilia Shoes! Shoes! Shoes!

marie-antoinette-silk-mules-sell-for-50000.jpg

Whoever bought her dainty shoes would make their original owner proud!

A pair of delicate silk shoes that "might" have been worn by Marie Antoinette on Bastille Day in 1790 recently hit the auction block and they weren't cheap.

The auction house expected the 200 year old shoes would fetch no more than $5,000 so they were obviously tickled pink when the winning bid was more than $57,000.

Dayum.

The size-six, white mules DO sound absolutely presh, with tri-color pleated ribbons adorning their facade.

The female who favored frivolity is smiling down on her modern-day patron!

We are in awe!

The show took visitors to Les Arts Décoratifs on a journey by showing off 19th Century gowns to futuristic nurse-like uniforms holding gorgeous neutral handbags (above).

The collection was on display in a museum-type platform where trunks of clothes dating back to 1867, including a 1896 trunk bearing the now famous Louis Vuitton monogram, produced by his late father Georges Vuitton.

Jacobs described the experience:
