Pippa struggles with her looks: Karl

Aug. 1: Fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld has courted controversy once again after saying he does not like Pippa Middleton’s face, it has emerged.

The designer, 78, said Pippa Middleton should “only show her back”, saying she “struggles” with her looks.

Lagerfeld, who apologised to singer Adele earlier this year after condemning her as “too fat”, has given a harsh critique of 28-year-old Pippa Middleton. In contrast, he has praised her sister, the Duchess of Cambridge for her “romantic” beauty.

Lagerfeld's comments, disclosed by the Sun newspaper, appear to have been made during a discussion of the Middleton sisters’ styles. He appears to be referencing the now-famous photograph of the younger Middleton from behind, as she took the role of bridesmaid at the duchess’s wedding. The image led Pippa to being nicknamed “Her Royal Hotness”.
