Royal followers ensure they look out for Zara Tindall at events such as Royal Ascot and Cheltenham Festival as she has built quite a stylish reputation.
However, long before her fascinator-wearing days Princess Anne's daughter, now 43, wore pieces you may not expect from a royal, but that were bang on trend for the early 2000s.

Her casual ensemble was styled with a pair of knee-high black boots and she incorporated the choker trend that took the noughties by storm, rocking a pearl-adorned style.

Zara and Mike's love story
