Princess Anne turned heads at the Cheltenham Festival on Thursday, stepping out in a bold red coat despite the rainy weather. The Princess Royal, known for her love of horses, looked cheerful as she arrived at the racecourse with her daughter, Zara Tindall.
This was the first time Anne attended the event this year, joining other royals and celebrities who had already made appearances, including Queen Camilla, Princess Eugenie, and Jack Brooksbank.
Anne’s outfit showcased her signature style—elegant yet practical. She paired her tailored red coat with black suede boots featuring eye-catching fringes. These boots are a favorite of hers, as she has worn them on several occasions, proving their versatility. Last year, she styled them with a navy coat and a purple scarf. During a visit to Manchester, she combined them with a camel trench coat.

To complete her race-day look, Anne accessorized with a faux fur hat, black leather gloves, and a cherry-red leather handbag. She also wore classic pearl stud earrings, a choice often associated with the royal family.
According to royal jewelry expert Leslie Field, pearls have been a staple for queens for over a thousand years. Anne frequently follows this tradition, often wearing pearl earrings or layered pearl necklaces during royal engagements.
One of the standout pieces in Anne’s outfit was her gold horse brooch, which she pinned to the collar of her coat. This elegant accessory has been part of her collection since the 1980s. She has worn it multiple times, especially for equestrian events like the Cheltenham Festival and Royal Ascot.
Anne’s fashion choices reflect her practical yet sophisticated approach to royal dressing. She is known for re-wearing her favorite pieces, embracing timeless elegance over fleeting trends. Her latest Cheltenham look was no exception, blending classic royal style with a touch of individuality.
