Zara Tindall reigned supreme in the style stakes at Royal Ascot on Tuesday, stepping out beside her husband Mike in a stunning botanical print dress from Australian brand, Leo Lin.

The former Olympian was dressed to the nines in the 'Cecelia Linen Midi Dress' which was adorned with an oriental print crafted in beautiful pastel hues.

Zara's pretty linen gown was complete with elegant bishop's sleeves, a smart collared neckline and a statement button-down bodice, while her feminine silhouette was enhanced in Sauvereign heels encrusted with gold gemstones.

The dress, which Zara most likely picked up during her travels Down Under with her husband this year, is described by the designer as: "A painterly expression of heritage and innovation, rendered in a delicate evergreen colourway for a poetic take on floral design. Both contemporary and timeless, the Orient Print evokes a sense of escapism and retreat into the abundance of the natural world."

No Royal Ascot ensemble is complete without an appropriate hat, of which the mother-of-three perfected regal flair and channelled Mary Poppins in a chic boater hat embellished with a candy pink satin ribbon.

Zara's blonde hair was swept into a neat low bun, as she highlighted her natural glow with a rosy blush, fluttery mascara and soft pink lip. Divine!

The exquisite headpiece was a bespoke accessory from the Royal Ascot Millinery Collective 2023 in association with Fenwick. 

Zara, 42, looked spellbinding as she donned the larger-than-life fascinator which comprised of swirled vines coiled around her face, blooming with hot pink peonies crafted from delicate dyed feathers.
