Ah, the Middleton sisters. While Kate Middleton is—as she should be—all decorum, royal protocol and generally concerned with being prim and looking proper at all times, Pippa Middleton obviously has a little more freedom in both her style and behavior.

And over the weekend, she took full advantage of that fact, turning both up to red-hot.

The Duchess of Cambridge's little sis was among the high society guests at the Boodles Boxing Ball, the annual charity boxing match favored by anyone with a title and an upright pinky, and it's safe to say she blew the sartorial competition right out of the water.

Looking sultry in a plunging red satin gown and Wilbur and Gussie gold clutch, she may have arrived on her own, but she certainly didn't leave that way.

Instead, the 28-year-old was joined by former cricketer-turned-financier beau Alex Loudon, and the duo couldn't have seemed happier to reunite, as the couple was spotted engaging in a smoochtastic PDA outside the venue at 4:30 a.m.

Take that, double balcony kisses.

Meanwhile, in addition to Pippa and Alex, among the other 850 guests at the ball (which raised around $154,000 for charity), included former Spice Girl Geri Halliwell (who wore a strikingly similar dress to Pippa…bad luck for her), Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, Prince Harry's former girlfriend Chelsy Davy, and—potentially awkward alert—Prince William's ex Jecca Craig.

We're sure the whole evening was jolly good fun.
