Zara Tindall discusses her fashion inspirations from her mother, Princess Anne, and offers styling tips for the upcoming Cheltenham Festival, highlighting the balance between elegance and practicality.
Zara Tindall, the daughter of Princess Anne and niece of King Charles III, has recently shared insights into her fashion inspirations and offered styling advice ahead of the upcoming Cheltenham Festival. The 43-year-old royal highlighted her mother, Princess Anne, along with her stylist Annie Miall, as significant influences on her fashion choices over the years.
In an interview with Hello!, Tindall noted that Princess Anne’s distinctive British country-core style, characterized by wax jackets, wellington boots, and tartan fabrics, has shaped her approach to fashion. “Mum taught me the importance of having good-quality clothing that keeps you warm and comfortable outdoors,” she said. Tindall emphasized that a balance between elegance and practicality is essential when dressing for events like Cheltenham, advising that attendees should opt for “a classic, tailored outfit” while ensuring to include layers and accessories suitable for varying weather conditions.
As an ambassador for the luxury fashion brand Fairfax & Favor, Tindall’s fashion sense often reflects a blend of British and Australian influences. She elaborated, “For instance, when I go to Australia for the annual Magic Millions event, I wear a mix of British and Australian designers, and then continue wearing them when I’m back in the UK.”
Princess Anne’s influence extends beyond family circles; renowned fashion designer Silvia Venturini Fendi of the Italian fashion house Fendi has praised Anne’s style, calling her “the most elegant woman in the world.” Fendi noted her admiration for Princess Anne post-Coronation, stating, “I thought she looked beautiful,” leading to inspirations for a men’s collection showcased at a recent Fendi show in Milan, featuring the quintessential elements of the country-core aesthetic that Anne has become known for since the 1970s.
The evolution of Princess Anne’s style has caught the public’s attention, particularly following the release of the third season of “The Crown” in November 2019, where actress Erin Doherty portrayed a young Anne. The resurgence of interest in her fashion has also been fueled by pop culture references, including comments by Claudia Winkleman regarding her own style on the BBC show “The Traitors,” humorously likening it to a fusion of “a sea monster meets Princess Anne.”
Zara Tindall recently attended an event at the JW Marriott Grosvenor House in London, where she showcased her fashion sensibility in an elegant all-black ensemble. Accompanied by her husband, former England rugby union captain Mike Tindall, she appeared poised and sophisticated. The couple shared moments of affection while interacting with guests at the Legends of Rugby Dinner, commemorating its 30th anniversary by honoring rugby players Courtney Lawes and Katy Daley-Mclean.
With her polished look, which included a velvet blazer and chic accessories, Zara Tindall continues to be a prominent figure in royal fashion, embodying the values of quality and comfort passed down from her mother, Princess Anne.
