Pippa Middleton has been ranked one of the year's Most Fascinating People.

In the annual list compiled by television veteran Barbara Walters, the Duchess of Cambridge's younger sister was placed in the same company as the Kardashian sisters and Simon Cowell.

In the special airing on December 14, Pippa's journey to celebrity will be chronicled as well as the past 12 months of Donald Trump, Katy Perry, Derek Jeter and Modern Family stars Eric Stonestreet and Jesse Tyler Ferguson.

The remainder of the top ten will be revealed during the telecast and who made the number one spot on the coveted list will be crowned.

Pippa features after her supporting role at the Royal wedding nearly eclipsed that of the bride and groom.

Her derriere in the white bridesmaids dress even went on to have its own Facebook page and she has been photographed and placed on the cover of several magazines since.

Meanwhile, the Kardashians continue rake in the millions as their star power continues to rise.
