Pippa, 28, rounded out her look with a floral hat, a black clutch and black suede heels.

"I tried on one dress. That was the dress and I thought, 'it's a little different but it's sort of a throwback,' " Paltrow said during a taping of The Chew on Thursday. "I saw a pic of Jackie O in a white dress with a cape and it's been a while since anyone's worn a cape, frankly, except for Superman."

Jennifer Lopez's Stylist Defends Her Oscar Dress: There Was No 'Slip'
Originally posted 02/27/2012 01:15AM
Oscar watchers, take note: Jennifer Lopez did not have a wardrobe malfunction, despite buzz she showed a little too much skin while presenting at Sunday night's 84th annual Academy Awards.
Her stylist, Mariel Haenn, tells PEOPLE that Lopez's custom Zuhair Murad gown featured special built-in cups that prevented any "slips" when she took the stage at the Hollywood and Highland Center with Cameron Diaz to honor the best in costume design and makeup.
"The dress fit perfectly to every inch," she tells PEOPLE in a statement. "While the dress did give the illusion of sheer-ness, joke's on everyone who wishes they saw something!"
