In Pictures: Zara Phillips’ Style, Then and Now

Zara Tindall has a very unique style. Not as flashy as her cousins ​​Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, but Zara has also had her share of fashion hits and misses. Nowadays, she almost always looks perfect.

The credit for this goes to her stylist, Annie Miall. Her Australian-born stylist helps Zara choose the slim-cut, tight-fitting items from designers such as Rebecca Vallance and Laura Green. She made sure that Zara got her own unique and elegant style.

Zara is the daughter of Princess Anne and her ex-husband Mark Phillips. In 2011, she married rugby player Mike Tindall, with whom she has three children: Mia Grace, Lena Elizabeth and Lucas Philip. Mike and Zara married on 30 July 2011 in Edinburgh. The wedding was held privately, but there were many guests present, around 400. Outside, some pictures were taken by the photographers who had gathered. Zara had her wedding dress designed by Steward Parvin. This designer also designed clothes for her grandmother, Queen Elizabeth, and her mother, Princess Anne.

Royal Ascot

As a former Olympic athlete, we see Zara mainly at events like Royal Ascot. That is of course the moment to really go all out in terms of fashion. We see her walking by looking elegant.

In the photo below, Zara is giving a hug to Lady Gabriella Windsor, who made her first public appearance after the sudden death of her husband of only 5 years, Thomas Kingston. Also hugs to Uncle Charles and Aunt Camilla, who are appearing together again in public after a difficult period. She seems to be a person in the Royal Family who gets along with a lot of people. That has nothing to do with fashion, but she seems to have a unifying role in the family.

Gorgeous, this soft blue dress by Rebecca Vallance with matching hat by Sarah Cant Millinery. Sarah Cant is one of Zara’s favourite hat designers, as is Juliette Botterill.

Also at Royal Ascot: a soft yellow lace dress by Scanlan Theodore with a soft yellow floral saucer hat.

Zara, a horse lover and member of the royal family, is also a welcome guest at the Cheltenham Festival. Wimbledon, the famous tennis tournament, can also count on the support of Zara and Mike. Here we see Zara in a dark blue pantsuit with pinstripes, combined with a wine-red top and wine-red hat. What do you think of the combination of a pantsuit and a hat?

Private time

In her private time, Zara naturally wears very different clothes. Here we see her in a denim blouse on denim shorts, while shopping.

Also in the engagement photo that was released at the time of Zara and Mike, they wore casual clothes. This informal style will not leave the clothing racks empty as quickly as happened with Catherine’s engagement dress.

Official occasions

Zara and Mike at the celebration of the Queen’s 90th birthday. On this occasion, Zara chooses a floral dress by Erdem.

During the Queen’s platinum jubilee, Zara wears a pink robe manteau by Laura Green, one of Zara’s favourite designers. The hat is by Juliette Botterill.

Trooping the Color: Zara wears a light gray dress with a striking purple hat.

At the memorial service for Prince Philip, Zara, appropriately enough, wore navy blue.

Jewelry label

Did you know that Zara has its own jewelry label? Together with John Calleija, that is. Zara Tindall and John Calleija have combined their unique talents and together created a contemporary, yet timeless jewelry collection. This elegant and refined collection fits perfectly with the modern woman.

During one of the Garden Parties at Buckingham Palace this summer, Zara wore a pair of earrings from this collection. The platinum earrings contain 86 sparkling diamonds.

Early style

Did Zara really need a stylist? Judge for yourself, when you look at the images below and compare them to the more recent images, which we showed first in this blog. In my opinion, she has improved enormously in terms of clothing style. What do you think?
