The beloved British royal who inspired Zara Tindall’s signature style and new fashion role

Zara Tindall turns heads wherever she goes. Known for her striking looks and impressive sports career, she’s also celebrated for her unique sense of style. So it’s no surprise that British luxury brand Fairfax & Favor has tapped her to front their latest ad campaign.

As the daughter of Princess Anne and granddaughter of the late Queen Elizabeth II, the 43 year old grew up around royalty but did not inherit a royal title, giving her freedom to pursue her own path.

Like many in her family, she inherited a love of horses but now she’s revealed which royal also influenced her sartorial style.

Speaking to Hello! in her new role as brand ambassador, Tindall revealed her mother, Princess Anne had the greatest influence on her clothing choices.

“Mum taught me the importance of having good-quality clothing that keeps you warm and comfortable outdoors,” she told the publication.

“I’ve always liked how (Fairfax & Favor) manage to combine timeless elegance with craftsmanship and practicality.

“Along with their versatile and stylish designs, this makes it the perfect brand for the casual day-to-day or smarter look when I’m attending events.”

In addition, Tindall explained the crux of her style philosophy while sharing tips for race-wear dressing.

“Choose a classic, tailored outfit, but make sure to incorporate layers and weather-appropriate accessories,” Tindall said.

“For me, it’s about what works and feels good to wear.”

While Tindall lives a quieter life than her more famous royal kin, she likes to share small details of life in the Royal Family.

Recently, she disclosed her family’s Christmas traditions while attending the Battle of the Commentators charity lunch in London on Wednesday, November 27, 2024.

Tindall delighted fans when she admitted that even the older royals still used Christmas stockings, and the whole family received their gifts before December 25.

“We give presents to each other on Christmas Eve,” Tindall said

“As adults, we still have stockings on Christmas Day,” she explained and confirmed that the late Queen and Prince Philip still enjoyed their stockings throughout their lifetimes.
