FIRST LOOK: Pippa Middleton Reveals Her Engagement Ring

PeopleNewly engaged Pippa Middleton had a public appearance yesterday and spent the whole time awkwardly hiding her left hand, reportedly because she had gotten engaged to James Matthews, her super-wealthy hedge fund manager boyfriend. Today, it’s officially official. “Miss Pippa Middleton and Mr. James Matthews are delighted to announce they became engaged on Sunday, July 17 and plan to marry next year,” they said in a statement released today, according to People, and now Pippa is ready to show off that all-important ring. Let your left hand shine, Pippa! Shall we have a look-see? Here she is leaving her house today in London this morning with her ring finger positioned right toward the cameras

One word:

Stunning.

Flawless ring for a flawless girl. I’ll be honest the bezel fit and flat square look come off as a bit trendy for me. I wonder if this is a ring she’ll like in 50 years, or if she wishes she went with a more classic stone and setting. But the thing about a girl as pretty and influential as Pippa Middleton is that she makes the trends, she doesnt follow them. So if shes rocking flat stone bezel fits, guess what becomes popular? flat stone bezel fits. She’ll love this in 50 years because all the other women will love it too. Thats what happens when you’re as demure and elegant as Pippa.

The only thing thats tough is comparing it to her sister’s ring:

Now obviously Kate’s ring was previously Princess Diana’s. So she’s walking around with an oval shaped sapphire that belong to one of the most beloved women to ever walk the earth. So Kate is still like “Sit down, bitch. I’m still Queen Bee around these palace walls.” But Pippa sporting that $260,000 ring aint too shabby either. Congrats to both Middelton sisters and their gorgeous rings!
