She’s a beaming future bride! Pippa Middleton has been the happiest fiancee since announcing her engagement to financier James Matthews last week.

The younger sister of Duchess Kate Middleton flashed yet another mega smile at photographers on Thursday, July 21, as she walked out of her home in London, England — with her brilliant new engagement ring in tow.

For the outing, the 32-year-old party planner was clad in a ladylike, green printed dress with a keyhole top. She paired her frock with a pair of blue suede sandals, sunglasses and, of course, her octagonal sparkler.

Middleton displayed her trademark dimples as she walked out of the home to run errands. She and Matthews — who runs Eden Rock Capital Management — confirmed the news of their engagement last Tuesday, July 19, to the British Press Association.

“Miss Pippa Middleton and Mr. James Matthews are delighted to announce they became engaged on Sunday, July 17 and plan to marry next year,” a rep told the outlet.

A Kensington Palace spokesperson shared in a subsequent statement that Pippa’s big sister, Duchess Kate, and Prince William were “absolutely delighted with the news.” (Meanwhile, the royal couple celebrated Prince George’s third birthday this past weekend.)
