It is no secret that Zara Tindall is a frequent attendee of equestrian-based events, but in 2020, a Magic Millions evening event called for one of her most glamorous looks yet.

Zara's fabulous outfit, which was shared on Instagram Stories by her husband Mike Tindall on Sunday, featured a rare little black dress. The knee-skimming garment came with a bejewelled belt and boasted a sleeveless design, perfect for a night out in Australia. 

Accessorised perfectly, the King's niece added a pair of strappy black heels and carried a black leather bag with silver hardware. Her blonde hair was styled in a poker straight bob, and she rocked a golden tan.

Meanwhile, former rugby star Mike matched her energy in a black velvet suit and formal shoes.

Zara's Australian wardrobe highlights

Zara always pulls out all the stops when she heads out for an Australian equestrian event. In 2020, she also attended the Moet Marquee Magic Millions Raceday at the Gold Coast Turf Club.

Here, she rocked an above-the-knee candy pink dress with a high neck and puffed sleeves that capped just above the elbow. The figure-flattering garment was paired with nude pumps with a pointed toe and a pink leather crossbody bag, which she slung over her shoulder.

Another pop of colour was added by her orange feathered hat, which perched atop her classic updo.

Meanwhile, she flaunted her hat game in 2009 when she attended the Emirates Melbourne Cup Day at Flemington Racecourse. Her dramatic headwear sat several inches above her head and added a touch of pizazz to her monochrome navy mini dress.

However, it's not all flamboyant looks as most recently, the mother-of-three was spotted wearing a white vest top and matching linen shorts as she enjoyed a boat day with Mike.
