Zara Tindall was glorious in green on Thursday as she stepped out on St Patrick's Thursday at the 2026 Cheltenham Festival.
The 44-year-old daughter of Princess Anne and her first husband, Captain Mark Phillips, made an appearance alongside her husband, Mike Tindall, wearing a sumptuous olive green suit by ME + EM which put a spring twist on a look she has worn previously.

The royal, who works with the stylist Annie Miall, teamed it with a satin shirt in a lighter green hue from Reiss and buttoned it up to the collar to create a structured look.

She also wore black leather gloves and gold hoop earrings by Kiki McDonough featuring tiny green jewels for a touch of sparkle.

Zara's doppelganger suit

For this occasion, she paired the Veronica Beard two-piece set with a silky shirt in the same red wine hue to create a monochrome moment akin to her green look on Thursday.

On day one, Zara looked wonderful in a navy look featuring a wool skirt set by The Fold, Fairfax & Favor's 'Regina' boots, an Aspinal of London croc print bag, and a leaf-adorned hat by Juliette Millinery.

You need something with space but in a classy, stylish package - that’s the reason that the various Aspinal bags we’ve seen on Zara Tindall at the races [work]," fashion stylist Leanne Jones tells us.
