Royal Ascot 2022: Zara Tindall and Sophie of Wessex win the style contest on Ladies Day

Though Sophie’s flowers could be seen a mile away, the real star of the day was Zara Tindall, who participated in the carriage parade together with her mother Anna. Elegant with a contemporary twist, the former riding champion left everyone breathless thanks to the outfit chosen for the most fashionable day of Royal Ascot.
The white dress is a bespoke creation of Laura Green, one of the hottest stylists of the moment. To make everything more fun were the fuchsia buttons to match her husband Mike’s tie. Fuchsia, however, was also the rose that climbed on the green straw worn on the twenty-three of Justine Bradley-Hill and the décolleté of Karen Millen. The result is a balanced and at the same time irresistible combination of elements precisely because of that amalgam of small hazards skilfully mixed together.

To complete the real picture, Princess Anna she wore a copper-colored silk sartorial model with a bib made of small folds while Sarah Chattoalso in carriage as granddaughter of the queen and daughter of the Princess Margaretshe went on the safe side with the look with which you usually see her: a sweater, a pleated skirt and a large hat, this time cream-colored.

Taking a look at the outfits of the Ladies present, you notice the influence of Kate and Sophie. A racegoeras the frequenters of the horse races are called, she presented herself with the dress of Alessandra Rich with whom Kate came home after the Caribbean tour thinking about Diana (if it’s not he is a great replica).

There is no shortage of polka dots, buttons on the front and mint color, other recurring elements of the wardrobe of the Duchess of Cambridge. That you like the style of the Countess of Wessexon the other hand, it can be seen both in the choice of a brand like the one already mentioned Suzannah London and in the shapes of certain dresses with puff sleeves, a narrow waist and a slightly fluffy skirt. More underground because less shouted, the “Sophie effect“.
