(CBS) With Kate Middleton wed, her sister Pippa is now the most eligible bachelorette in London, according to "Early Show" Style Contributor Katrina Szish.

Phillipa, who goes by the name Pippa, wore a form-fitting long dress to the royal wedding ceremony, igniting gossip online that she had upstaged the bride.

Szish said on "The Early Show on Saturday" Kate Middleton's sister had, "Men around the world are saying, 'hello, Pippa.'

Prince Harry was reportedly taken with new sister-in-law Pippa's looks on the day as well. The bachelor, who attended the wedding with his on-again/off-again girlfriend Chelsea Davy, reportedly whispered to Pippa as he escorted her out of the church, "You do look very beautiful today - seriously."

"She looked stunning," Szish said. "And I do think the white was appropriate. I mean, with all of the little bridesmaids, the white really just went with the palette. It was flawless. I don't think she upstaged Kate at all. Also she was wearing Sarah Burton (at Alexander McQueen) and I think it was a perfect choice."

Szish said the event was like Pippa's coming out to the world.

"Everybody wants another introduction to Pippa," Szish said. "She's been named, I believe, England's most eligible bachelorette."

Right, like you don't know who Kate is. *eyeroll*

If you're not interested in the royal wedding, move on. Don't waste your time reading a story you care nothing about. I don't go on sports forums and say "Who cares?" - that would be pathetic.

Move along now.

I watched maybe 30 minutes of the wedding starting with Pippa helping Kate out of the limo. She was bent over helping with the bridal train and I'm swearing I'm seeing the outline of her panties through the dress ... such a HOT figure, and I'm thinking, man, Harry needs to hook up with this. According to the news, he obviously he noticed. What I saw of her was very sexy & enticing.
"Pippa, don't be a stranger to the news ... let us get to know you."

I think that Pippa looked great. Some women her age here in the states weigh 200lbs more than she does, not wonder some of them are jealous. I think the whole wedding was great and I am happy for them. I think it is grand that William works as a Rescue Helicopter pilot. Charles never has done much and I noticed that he walked either in front of our way behind his 2nd wife. Maybe the honeymoon is over...one would hope so as they are both adulters. Back to Pippa, I hope she doesn't have the press hounding her all the time and Harry isn't married and he is still young and should be dating anyone he likes. I like to see this young men have a life of their own. Long live the Duke and Duchess of Canterbury.

So,now that Kate has her Prince Charming William,that leaves open
the question did anyone else notice how Prince Harry kept looking
totally smitten by Pippa and her beauty as well? There was a picture of Harry's Ex-Girlfriend leaving the Royal Wedding that shows her very angry just like she must know she will never get
Prince Harry back. So,anybody care to guess how long Pippa will remain as England's Most Eligible Bachelorette here?

I feel so bad for Kate that she had all that pressure of tradition to wear certain things to make her dress befitting a Princess - the tiara (apparently she wanted to wear flowers in her hair, but the palace said no), the covered bodice (most women these days either go strapless or sleeveless), the poufy skirt (a lot of Vera Wang's designs are like Pippa's dress), the train (who has a train except for Royals, and over the top singers like Mariah Carey and Celine Dion?)

Kate seems to like form-fitting designs as well, like that blue Issa dress. I'll bet she'd have preferred to wear something like Pippa did. Although Kate looked gorgeous! They both did :)

RealiteBites, you sound like you are from some remote part of the world. William married Kate because he knew that she could deal with royal life. Kate does not have to wear strapless or sleeveless, William was ok with what she wore,so why are you complaining? She will one day be the Queen of England. I assure you, this morning she woke up very happy. You are the one that is miserable.
