Zara Tindall has once again slipped under the radar as she enjoyed a night out with friends in London last week.
She attended an Evening with Lewis Moody and Friends in support of the former England captain, who was diagnosed with motor neurone disease last year. Posing alongside Natalie Pinkham, the 44-year-old royal wore one of her go-to Rebecca Vallance midi dresses, which has been in her wardrobe for over a year.
While her friends wore head-to-toe red, she stood out in her £620 glamorous black frock, complete with a fitted silhouette, dramatic puff sleeves and gold sequin-embellished floral appliqués. Adding scarlet accessories, Zara completed her outfit with Laurence Coste beaded floral earrings and ‘Rebecca’ velvet pumps from Emmy London, as identified by Royal Fashion Police.
Royal repeat
This is not the first time Mike Tindall’s wife has donned the dress. She debuted the frock in 2024 as she walked the red carpet for a special screening of Federer: Twelve Final Days at Odeon Luxe Leicester Square.
Back in summer 2025, the daughter of Princess Anne wore the same dress for a fundraiser for The CatWalk Trust in Queenstown. Switching up her look, she styled it with different accessories, including a crescent gold chain bag from Strathberry and a pair of black suede pumps from Emmy London.
Family style lessons
Aside from her Vallance dress, Zara has recycled several other items from her wardrobes in the past, including her beautiful Laura Green dress, which she wore to both a Buckingham Palace garden party and Royal Ascot.
Zara learnt the art of recycling clothes from her mother, Princess Anne, who has long championed sustainable fashion.

“Now you’ve got instant fashion which you then throw away, you don’t alter it because it wouldn’t be worthwhile.
“So whether we’ve got to relearn those skills, go back and say ‘actually, we need materials that can do more than one evolution of fashion'”.
