Karl Lagerfeld Slams Pippa Middleton: Is He a Mean Old Man?

Fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld is at it again, insulting celebrities for their looks. Earlier this year, he made comments about singer Adele’s weight, causing quite a stir. Now he’s picking on British royalty! His new target is Pippa Middleton, the sister of the Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton.

Pippa Middleton

According to The Sun, Lagerfeld commented on Pippa saying, “I don't like the sister's face. She should only show her back.” He was seemingly referring to the infamous image shot from the rear of Pippa carrying her sister’s train at last summer’s royal wedding.

The fashion icon has made his living off glorifying other people’s beauty. Not only has he designed clothes for fashion houses like Fendi and Channel but he has also shot numerous iconic photographs including Mariah Carey’s V cover in 2005. In addition, he shot a series called “Visionaire 23: The Emperor's New Clothes,” featuring nude images of celebrities and models.

Granted, he may know a thing or two about the popular perceptions of beauty. But does this give him the right to criticize unsuspecting public figures who have not asked for his assessment? Or perhaps the opinionated designer is just looking for a little free publicity. Whatever it is, he needs to check his tone.

    He called Pippa ugly? Seriously? Perhaps he is either blind, owns NO mirrors or perhaps he suffers from delusions of grandeur! Has he not taken a close look at himself lately? He is hardly in a position to judge ugly!

    He has an uglier face than Donnatella! Fish lips and all. Why don't they leave that botox alone?

    Before his weight loss, he was a lot nicer. Now he takes pot shots at everyone.

    This is just his irrelevant opinion. Who cares. Pippa's photos prove Lagerfeld wrong. My opinion.

    I actually think Pippa looks more pretty than her sister...although it 'is' a question of taste. Karl Lagerfeld should keep his trap shut in future. If you can't say anything nice, keep it shut.

    Well I don't like his face! He looks like a shriveled up prune. But I don't get the hype about the Pippa shot either. It's not that great.

    Well her ass is and since it's attached...

    Anyway, Pippa is Kate's sister, she's effectively Royalty by default although not in line to the throne...unless she starts dating Harry >.> anyway. Royalty status = Celebrity in the UK... A list in fact.

    I'd have to disagree that being the sister of someone who married royalty makes you automaticallty royalty. As far as I know, old Pippa doesn't have a title.
  • Crypt_H... Happy_E... 2012/08/03 17:12:10

    It tends to be how marriage works in the 'upper classes'. The act of marriage isn't simply two people getting married for the sake of love, it's the joining of two families. Privileges and favours are extended to the immediate family such as Pippa that wouldn't be available to anyone else say for instance...Pippa's Grandparents or first cousins even.

    To be royalty you do not need to have a title, you only need to be a part of the Queen's family. To be 'nobility' you might however need a title, such as Lord/Earl/Lady etc etc.

    He's just like anyone with celebrity and zero grip on reality. They have extremely unrealistic perceptions of beauty. Anyway, he's not only ugly, but he has botoxed his face out of existence.

    For me, only because he attacked a woman! He is nothing to me otherwise. A woman is divine until proven otherwise, and even then, my unconditional support to her atonement is assured by default. If one speaks ill of her, I am immediately at her defense. I don't know what people will make of that, and I don't really care. WOMAN WILL BE HONORED as long as I breathe air on this planet. That's all.
