Pippa Middleton in front row at London Fashion Week
(CBS) Temperley London's show, part of London Fashion Week, attracted a glamorous crowd that included Pippa Middleton, the sister of Britain's newest and most admired royal.
Pippa, 28, wore an emerald Temperley London evening gown to her sister Kate's royal wedding reception at Buckingham Palace in April. The fashion-forward Duchess of Cambridge did not accompany her youngrt sister to the fashion shows.

Others in the front row during London Fashion Week included Kanye West, Tilda Swinton, Sienna Miller, model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and American Vogue's editor Anna Wintour.
Floral prints and opulent silks brightened up catwalks on Tuesday, as the weeklong whirlwind of glamour entered its last day.
Mary Katrantzou, the 28-year-old designer from Athens who has gained a devoted following in just three years with her distinctive bold prints of unusual subjects like Chinese vases and Faberge eggs, played with a theme of "industrial fabrication versus beauty in nature."
Meanwhile, loose, abstract '50s shapes and bright jewel hues presided at Serbian-born Roksanda Ilincic's show.
Ilincic, a former model whose elegant designs were recently worn by Michelle Obama and Prince William's wife, the Duchess of Cambridge, mainly used luxurious silks and satins in mustardy old gold, jade, turquoise and electric magenta. The tones were perfect for the show's setting, a regal, darkened hall with huge chandeliers at the Institute of Directors building.
Other designers rounding up day five of the week were Osman, Kinder Aggugini, and Amanda Wakeley.
In the past four days the fashion extravaganza featured latest collections by Burberry Prorsum, Vivienne Westwood, Christopher Kane and Jonathan Saunders, among others.
