Zara Tindall, beyond the legs (uncovered) there is more

To those who ask him, Zara Tindall she replies that she considers herself very lucky not to be one Princess. When his mother Anna in May 1981 he decided not to give her a title at birth, in addition to giving her a normal life, he gave her the opportunity to dress as she likes, regardless of the centimeters of the skirts or how much skin to show from a dress.

The second child of royal princess he was born in capitano Mark Phillips has long been called a rebel. Precisely because of the freedom he enjoyed for not having the title, he did not have the eyes of the world on him and even when he crossed the lens of a photographer instead of fidgeting, he preferred to play with the two. Horse riding champion with two participations in the Olympics in the curriculum, one from 2008 and one from 2012 where he even won a silver, he has always preferred jeans and boots. That is the everyday style, those spent among the horses in the house in the English countryside that she shares with her husband, the rugby player Mike Tindall, and the three children Mia, Lena and Lucas.

However, he has always had an intense social life divided between more formal engagements such as the Royal Ascot and social evenings as a brand ambassador or godmother of events of various kinds. Rather allergic to the label (she has or has had a tongue piercing and one, apparently, a navel), she has always chosen rather short dresses also for the most important ceremonies such as in 2013 the 60th anniversary of the coronation of his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth, or the baptism of Prince George.

In the first case, he presented himself arm in arm with his inseparable wife, bringing the glamor of Christopher Kane while in the second, although she was the godmother of the eldest son of cousin William and Kate, she still left her knees uncovered wearing a tailored blue suit designed by the royal designer Stewart Parvin, the same one to whom he had entrusted the task of creating the wedding dress.

If all her relatives have to deal with hems, making them heavy to avoid the danger of sudden fluttering, the status of Zara Tindall differs from theirs in the passion for slightly flared dresses. In her case, if a breath of wind were to push aside a ruffle or a flap of fabric showing something more than it should, she would react with a smile thinking of the immunity to the rigid royal protocol she enjoys. She did not betray her spirit even during her pregnancies: has always sported colorful and cheerful minidresses which seem to be the fashion translation of his spirit.

And also as regards the brands, to compete with the coat dress by Catherine Walker of Kate or with the more formal outfits of the cousins ​​Beatrice and Eugenie, it doesn’t take you at all. The races for Zara are only those of horses. He prefers to stand out by wearing brands that are not of the highest level but of great quality to which he manages to give important visibility because he is still part of the royal family.

Back in 2011, for the pre-wedding party she slipped into a one-shoulder sheath dress by Alice + Olivia, trusting an American brand that would later become very popular. It wears Australian brands (a country to which it is very attached) Rebecca Vallance e White Label Noba, reality founded Tracey Watkins for women of any size and age. And there is Paul&Joe, handcrafted Parisian signature with festive patterns designed by Sophie mechaly.

In her wardrobe there are also dresses by the Irish-born designer based in London Orla Kiely and the ethical and sustainable maternity brand Isabella Oliver. In fact, among the many licenses that can be afforded, there is that of not necessarily having to be a testimonial of British fashion but when she can, a champion of creativity and female entrepreneurship, yes.
Behind the apparent lightness of those clothes, there are meanings and who said that even this does not serve to rejuvenate the monarchy? Zara Tindall, beyond the legs (uncovered) there is more. It really needs to be said.
