Zara Tindall and her husband Mike Tindall arrived on the Gold Coast, Queensland, on Thursday for the first event of the Magic Millions Carnival 2025. The royal couple was spotted supporting the highly anticipated event, an occasion they are known to attend every year.
After spending New Year's Day with their children at the races, the Tindalls made their way to Australia, where Zara continues her role as an ambassador for Magic Millions. The couple has a strong connection to the country, with Zara even sharing that she and Mike first met there many years ago.
Zara, 43, turned heads at the event, radiating elegance in a chic black lace gown by LEO LIN. The dress featured sheer lace fabric with intricate cutouts, revealing just enough skin to add a touch of daring sophistication. The centerpiece of the dress was a stunning floral embroidery in shades of white, yellow, and green that ran down the center. The dress perfectly balanced boldness and grace.
The British equestrian kept her styling minimal yet polished, opting for Malone Souliers pointed black heels and an Aspinal of London clutch, which added a metallic touch to her look. For accessories, Zara wore diamond-encrusted drop earrings by Calleija Jewellers that caught the light with every movement. Her makeup was fresh and natural, with bronzed cheeks and glossy lips. Her blonde hair was styled into a sleek low bun, emphasizing the beauty of her accessories.
After celebrating New Year's Day with their children at the races, the couple traveled to Australia. Hello!
Mike, 46, looked equally dashing in a camel-toned suede jacket paired with black tailored trousers by London menswear stylist Daniel Johnson. Underneath the blazer, Mike wore a crisp white shirt and a stylish black tie, completing the look with black leather boots. His polished outfit complemented Zara’s stunning appearance perfectly.
The couple’s love for Australia has been well-documented over the years. They were spotted in the country last year after spending Christmas with the royal family in Sandringham. Their annual trip to the Magic Millions Carnival is a highly anticipated tradition. Magic Millions is famous for its Gold Coast Yearling Sale held every January, but its auction house operates year-round, conducting thoroughbred sales in four different states of Australia. The event is considered a major highlight in the country’s racing industry, showcasing some of the best thoroughbreds available for sale.
The couple shows their support for the auction each year. Hello!
Zara has long been an advocate for the Magic Millions event. In 2012, she was named the first Magic Millions Racing Women Ambassador, a title that followed her Olympic silver medal win in London that same year. Her deep love for horses made her the perfect fit for the ambassadorial role, and she continues to support the event year after year.
The Gold Coast Yearling Sale is a major part of the Magic Millions, with a week of auctions and races featuring horses bought at previous sales. Zara and Mike are expected to attend the next few days of the 10-day event, celebrating the spirit of racing and continuing their long-standing connection with the Magic Millions Carnival.
