Pippa Middleton made a rare public appearance at the British Grand Prix at Silverstone Circuit on July 6, sporting a striking new bob hairstyle.

The 41-year-old attended the Formula 1 event alongside her husband James Matthews, marking her first public outing in seven months.


The Princess of Wales's younger sister debuted what appears to be her shortest haircut to date, keeping the sleek style in place by tucking her brown locks behind her ears.

Her last public appearance was at Princess Kate's annual Together at Christmas carol service at Westminster Abbey in December 2024, where she joined other members of the Middleton family.

Matthews, 49, has a professional connection to the racing world as a former British racing driver and current board member of Atlassian Williams Racing, one of Formula 1's leading teams.

The couple's attendance at Silverstone held particular significance given his involvement with the Williams team competing at the event.

Pippa has previously worn her hair in shorter styles, including a similar bob during the summer of 2018.

However, this latest cut represents a notable change from her appearance at recent family gatherings.

The author and British Heart Foundation ambassador opted for a relaxed approach to her race day styling.

She maintained the sleek look throughout the warm July afternoon.

The Middletons have maintained a tradition of supporting Kate at her Christmas carol service.

The Princess of Wales established the event in 2021 during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Their December appearance held particular significance as it followed the Princess of Wales's cancer diagnosis announcement in March 2024 and her subsequent completion of chemotherapy in September.

Pippa, who shares three children with Matthews, Arthur, six, Grace, four, and Rose, three, has largely stayed out of the public eye since her 2017 marriage.

According to sources at the time of their engagement, the couple shared a "deep desire" to lead a quiet life away from the spotlight.
