Zara Tindall stepped out for Kate Middleton’s Westminster Abbey carol concert donning a festive velvet suit in the season’s trending colour. Here’s how to get her look…
The Royal Family stepped out in their most stylish festive looks to support Kate Middleton at her Westminster Abbey carol concert on Friday afternoon and while Kate opted for a red Alexander McQueen coat she had recycled from previous years, Zara Tindall also provided a dose of Christmas style inspiration.
The 43-year-old arrived with Princess Beatrice and looked radiant in a luxurious burgundy velvet suit- proving the royal ladies are always one step ahead of the style game. Although we’ve seen Kate Middleton embracing suited styles over the past few years It was an unexpected style for Zara who usually opts for a tailored coat style or midi dress on formal outings.
The double-breasted suit appears to be from American designer Veronica Beard, and is currently available to buy in the sale here. The jacket has been reduced from £648 to £454 here and the trousers from £448 to £314 here. However, the discounted design appears to have already been popular with many sizes already selling out fast.
