The X Factor mogul admitted that he is impressed with Middleton's popularity, claiming that she has a potential to be a big star should she choose to pursue such a path.
"I haven't heard her sing, but if she walked in and said, 'I want to be a TV star', I would sign her on the spot," Cowell told Life & Style.
"She has the X factor. To overshadow your sister when she's the one getting married? That was impressive."
Middleton shot into the spotlight following sister Kate's wedding to Prince William in April 2011, in which she served as maid of honour.
The life of the Duchess of Cambridge's sister was recently explored in an upcoming TLC special called Crazy About Pippa, which aired earlier this month.
