Royal fans were delighted on Thursday after they caught another glimpse of Zara Tindall on Day Three of Royal Ascot. Princess Anne’s daughter looked fabulous on the racing event’s famous Ladies’ Day. Zara wore a custom-made butter yellow dress by Rebecca Vallance.
The designer, who created the dress exclusively for Royal Ascot, said that the look is “elegant, optimistic and distinctly modern”, and it reflects the brand’s “signature approach to occasion dressing, where femininity, craftsmanship and contemporary sophistication come together”. Zara paired the dress with a colour-matching clutch by Anya Hindmarch (£1,150) and the Claudia gold heels by Emmy London (£545).
