Zara is a long-time fan of Rebecca Vallance, attending a VIP breakfast celebrating the relaunch of the Aussie designer at Harrods in London in November, 2024.

For this event, Zara wore her hair pulled back with sparkly earrings and black pumps completing the look.

The black dress was set against pearl embellishment with a cut-out back.

Zara and Mike Tindall will be in Australia for the Magic Millions Racing Carnival until January 14.

The couple attends each year as part of Zara's patronage to the event, with royal fans keeping an eye on the couple who are expected to make a number of appearances over the next week.

Zara is an accomplished equestrian, having competed at the Olympics in 2012.

Zara has been an ambassador for Magic Millions since 2012, with this year marking her 13th year in the position.

The couple's children Mia, 10, Lena, six, and Lucas, three, are reportedly at home in the UK.

At the opening event Mike hosted a karaoke competition with horse artist and Billy Slater's wife, Nicole Slater.

He was seen singing along as Zara sat next to him.

Ahead of this year's festival, she spoke about her family's love of racing and how she has continued the legacy from her late grandmother Queen Elizabeth II and her mother.

"Racing was a big part of her life and she absolutely loved the breeding side of it as well," she told the Telegraph UK of the late Queen.

"She had a big book of names that she had registered and when a foal was born, she'd go through all the names and pick one out, which gave her hours of delight.

"With my mum and my grandmother, the equestrian side is a huge sort of connection between us. It was a special passion that they passed down."

Before leaving the UK for Australia, Zara and Mike joined the royal family for Christmas celebrations at Sandringham alongside Zara's mother Princess Anne and her husband, Vice Admiral Sir Timothy Laurence.

The family were also at the Princess of Wales' Christmas concert event at Westminster Abbey on December 6.
