It 's only the second time the 31-year-old has been spotted out since reports emerged that her dreams of a U.S. television career have come crashing down . The Duchess of Cambridge 's sister had been in talks to join American TV station NBC as a 'special correspondent ' , but negotiations for the £400,000 role disintegrated after she was deemed not to have a 'breezy ' enough manner . On Friday the 31-year-old stunned in ice-blue Hugo Boss gown at the Disability SnowSport UK Ball , her Mustique tan and dazzling smile hiding what must be serious heartbreak at her latest career effort stalling . And locals in the south-west London borough seemed to be enjoying soaking up the view , too . It 's only the second time the 31-year-old has been spotted out since reports emerged that negotiations with U.S. television network NBC have been cancelled . The brunette chose a £475 tote bag by Milli Millu , flat suede pumps and a leopard print scarf for her day out . The Vanity Fair Contributing Editor and Ocado magazine columnist , who was catapulted to fame following her sister 's wedding to Prince William in 2011 , has long been keen to make a name for herself in the U.S . But a source close to NBC says Pippa ’ s screen trial , which can be watched online , was a flop . In the clip the writer looked uncomfortable as she danced with an aged local in Jackson Hole , Wyoming , for no ascertainable reason . And came across as ‘ a bit grand , awkward and bored , rather than enthusiastic ’ , according to one insider . ‘ Cringe-worthy ’ said another . Not that you would know it from her December 2014 column for the Spectator . Excitedly describing her visit to Wyoming , Pippa gushed about her experience of line-dancing and talked of the 'stunning ' mountain scenery . 'Wyoming is real cowboy country , ' she continued . 'Everyone wore cowboy boots and the men had big , non-ironic moustaches that curled upwards . ' Not one to claim the laurels undeserved , she cheerfully admitted to being less than brilliant and worried she might have scuppered her chances of appearing on Strictly Come Dancing . 'It ’ s easy to get carried away with the whole free-riding atmosphere . My dance partner was about 80 , and I did my best to keep up , ' she continued . 'But it turns out I have two left feet , at least as far as moving to rhythm is concerned . ' NBC apparently agreed . On Friday the 31-year-old stunned in ice-blue Hugo Boss gown at the Disability SnowSport UK Ball , her Mustique tan and dazzling smile hiding what must be serious heartbreak at her latest career effort stalling . Pippa even kept her glacial cool in that £750 Hugo Boss number when Heather Mills laid siege to her on the red carpet , jostling for the celebrity glow of a joint photo-opportunity . Ultimately NBC , it is said , was keen not to repeat the expensive mistake it made a couple of years back with Chelsea Clinton . They were concerned that by spending a lot of money on a famous-by-association personality with no apparent aptitude for TV presenting , they would look gullible when that person failed to produce ratings . Friends of Pippa say she didn ’ t want to move to the U.S. anyway as it would be too far away from Nico Jackson , the 37-year-old investment banker she ’ s been dating since 2012 , who now lives in Geneva . And today she seemed to be keepng a low profile as she strolled around her favourite shopping haunt toting a £475 bag by Millli Millu .
Kate 's sister is back in London following ' cringeworthy ' U.S TV debut . US TV company NBC has decided not to hire her as ' special agent ' , because she ‘ doesn ’ t have that breezy , sexy motormouth accent ' But friends of the 31-year - old say she did not want to move to London .
