The Royal Ascot Style Round-Up

Zara Tindall Embraces Sophisticated Monochrome with Emmy London Shoes

Zara Tindall delivered a masterclass in monochrome elegance at Royal Ascot 2025, effortlessly blending timeless sophistication with modern flair. She stepped out in a crisp white button-up Laura Green dress, beautifully detailed with a contrasting black collar and trim, paired with a statement striped wide-brim hat. Completing the polished look, Zara chose the ‘Rebecca’ heels in Jet Black suede and Golden Dome shoe clips by Emmy London the perfect finishing touch to her refined race day ensemble.

Emmy London Shoes Complement Refined Dark Ensembles

This year, several guests embraced a more refined and understated aesthetic, opting for deeper tones and rich, darker shades. From midnight blue to jet black and deep berry hues, these sophisticated colour choices brought a modern sense of drama to the Royal Enclosure, proving that darker palettes can be just as impactful for summer styling. Notably, Rosie Tapner and Alex Hammond were both seen in elegant dark-toned ensembles, beautifully styled with Emmy London accessories. Rosie completed her look with the ‘Josie’ block heels in Jet Black suede, while Alex introduced a soft contrast by pairing her outfit with our ‘Claudia’ mid heels in Latte and our Bejewelled shoe clips.
