Zara Tindall was at her glamorous best as she supported the Prince and Princess of Wales at their first royal garden party of the season. On Friday, Prince William and Kate stepped out at the event in the gardens of Buckingham Palace on behalf of King Charles. They were accompanied by Princess Anne's daughter Zara, 44, who completely transformed her makeup-free look from yesterday's Badminton Horse Trials and arrived wearing a stunning blue cutwork dress.
One day after she donned a sporty ensemble for the equestrian event, Zara proved she is just as comfortable in frocks as she flashed a smile while posing with her cousin Prince William and Kate. For the occasion, Zara picked a stunning floral dress from the Australian brand Leo Lin that retails for £475 (AUD 895). It is believed that Zara's piece was custom-created since it features delicate puff sleeves while the original dress is sleeveless.
She finished her elegant look with a statement hat and off-white clutch as a smiling Zara was seen walking alongside the Duke of Edinburgh. They were also joined by the Duchess of Edinburgh, who also picked a blue ensemble for today's garden party in honour of workers from across the frontline sectors, including emergency services, volunteers and charity workers.
The King and Queen held a similar event earlier this week, and were joined by The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, The Princess Royal, and The Duke and Duchess of Gloucester. Every summer, the King and royal family host a series of garden parties in London, and one at the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Scotland. Historically they served as presentation parties for the debutantes of high society, but now recognise and reward public service instead.
The party begins with the national anthem, before members of the royal family take to the lawns and greet guests. Today marks the second garden party of the year, with a third event at the palace to take place on Tuesday, May 12.
