Zara Tindall transforms into cowgirl in electric blue dress for date night with Mike Tindall

Just when we think we've seenZara Tindall rock every kind of killer ensemble imaginable, this killer throwback snap of Princess Anne's daughter graces our eyes. 

The equestrian was a vision in electric blue on a glamorous evening in 2007. Stepping out alongside her then-boyfriend, Mike Tindall, Zara transformed into a cowgirl, pairing her plunging blue tresses with a brown cowgirl hat and matching boots.

The occasion in question was the Red Cross London Ball at The Room By The River, and during the evening, the happy couple showed just how in love they were, packing on the PDA.

As for her noughties glam, Zara was well and truly in her bob-era, her visage made up with copious kohl eyeliner, synonymous with the era, and glossy nude lips. In her hands, she carried a leopard print clutch bag.

Meanwhile, stepping out alongside his flame of four years, Mike rocked a velvet blue suit jacket, jeans and a white shirt, complete with his own cowboy accessories: a buffalo tie and cowboy hat.

As the couple sat at their table, they couldn't have looked more in love, photographed having a smooch in their matching hats. 

Other attendees at the party were Girls Aloud stars Cheryl and Kimberley Walsh, who looked fabulous in floor-length ballgowns.

Zara and Mike's love story

Zara and Mike reportedly crossed paths during the 2003 Rugby World Cup, where the rugby aficionado was set to play, while the equestrian was on a gap year with friends. The couple met at the Manly Wharf bar in Sydney, with the duo immediately hitting it off.

In an interview with Australian television programme 60 Minutes, Zara explained how the Yorkshire-born rugby star was drowning his sorrows after being dropped from the England squad before the semi-finals. "It kind of went from there," she revealed.

When Mike went on I'm a Celeb in 2022, he revealed to his campmates: "I was at the World Cup, she was out watching. I got dropped from the semi-final," he said. "I was [expletive] off and so I went for a beer with another guy who got dropped and a guy who was over [in Sydney]. They'd met her before, and they introduced us and then got chatting from there."

Mike popped the question in December 2010 before tying the knot in 2011.
