London, August 1 (ANI): After apologising to Adele for calling her fat, Karl Lagerfeld has now taken aim at Pippa Middleton, claiming that her rear makes for a better view than her face.

The Chanel designer, 78, was commenting on Miss Middleton's style, when he admitted that he admired only the rear view of her.

The 78-year-old even claimed that Middleton is not as attractive as her sister, the Duchess of Cambridge.

Kate Middleton has a nice silhouette and she is the right girl for that boy, the Daily Mail quoted him as telling the Sun.

On the other hand, her sister struggles.

'I don't like the sister's face. She should only show her back.

At the launch of his pop-up beauty boutique in London's Covent Garden last week, the designer was full of compliments for Duchess Kate. He went a step further by defending her style against critics who tag it to be dull.

She knows pretty well what to wear and what to do. She has a divine silhouette so she can wear anything.

She has a sense of what's right for the moment because you can not dress like a mad woman in those situations, he added. (ANI)
