Princess Anne’s daughter, Zara Tindall turned heads in a summery ensemble as she arrived at Ascot Racecourse yesterday afternoon.
The 43-year-old was joined by her husband, Mike Tindall, and of course, King Charles and Queen Camilla who arrived as part of the royal procession.
Among other members of the Royal Family, like Princess Beatrice, Princess Royal and Lady Gabriella Kingston, Zara was in her finest race attire – on this day, a yellow dress.
Complete with a belted waist, puff organza sleeves and a smart collar neckline, the mother-of-three looked every inch the part in her tasteful outfit. Zara wore a £250 Laura Green dress with her Emmy London pumps and a Sauvereign clutch, and paired the outfit with a Sarah Cant hat with Calleija jewels.
The look is easy to recreate with high-street items, like this Marks and Spencer tea dress for just £45.
Available in sizes UK 6 to 24, the dress channels a similar pattern to Zara’s Laura Green garment, which is described as a: “Yellow pebble print shirt dress with organza shoulder contrast and centre front button closure.”
The M&S version is an elegant tea dress from the brand’s Per Una collection and is crafted from lightweight fabric for a comfortable and breezy feel.
Its online description states: “It’s cut in a regular fit and features a v-neckline and short angel sleeves. The waist is elasticated at the back for a flattering, comfortable fit and the skirt falls into a stylish midaxi length. Soft ruching through the front lends a feminine finish, while side pockets offer a practical touch.”
High street shoppers have praised the design, as one reviewer wrote: “Stunning dress. Dress up or down. Got it for a wedding.” Another said: “Great quality and price! True to size.”
It does, however, lack some of the wow factor of Zara’s look, though those willing to spend more to recreate the royal outfit will find this occasion dress by LK Bennett.
The Maddie Cream Silk Organza Dress is available online for £249.00, just £1 cheaper than Zara’s. But its buttermilk-yellow hue and romantic details are a close match.
Described as: “Frothy, frilly and very fabulous”, the dress is crafted from sheer and puffy pin-tucked silk organza in a cream colour. It has a slip base, a round neck with a frill collar and bib, silver thread detail, elbow-length voluminous sleeves and a midi skirt.
The A-line garment has a short sleeve length with the same puff details as Zara’s organza dress.
