Zara Tindall's impeccable fashion always looks fabulous, but there's a particular season in the calendar where the royal's stellar wardrobe truly has its moment - racing season. 

The former Olympic equestrian is no stranger to racing's most glamorous soirées. From Royal Ascot to Epsom races, Glorious Goodwood and Australia's Magic Millions raceday, Zara and her husband Mike Tindall never fail to impress with their dapper outfits.

While it never officially made it to Royal Ascot, Zara was keen to show off the incredible work of Australian milliner, Rachel Henry, ahead of the illustrious event this summer. In a rare selfie, Zara looked mesmerising 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.

The mother-of-three turned heads at Royal Ascot's Ladies' Day in 2022 in a beautiful satin tea dress from Laura Green. Her bright green boater hat, however, was the real showstopper. Adorned with a gravity-defying rose perched on the brim, Zara's pink and green accessory perfectly matched the candy-pink buttons on her dress.

Cinderella, who? Zara gave off Disney princess energy as she arrived at the coronation of King Carles and Queen Camilla in a magnificent blue coat dress and matching headpiece. The cornflower blue teardrop percher hat was embellished with a bloom of tulle fabric and structured ribbons.
