It isn't every day that members of the royal family make an appearance on a red carpet. However, Zara Tindallmade quite the impression in 2010 when she styled up a storm at the Sport Industry Awards alongside her then-boyfriend Mike Tindall.
Princess Anne's daughter now 43, was spotted on the red carpet aged 28 in a deep purple strapless gown with a sweetheart neckline and a full-length skirt.
The garment also featured an applique adornment on the bodice and a cinched waistline. To accessorise the look, the King's niece wore a silver watch on her wrist and carried a shiny black clutch.
