Zara Tindall and her daughter Mia wore matching suits at Aintree Ladies Day, with Zara in a pastel pink blazer with matching trousers and a white blouse, and Mia in a blue pinstripe suit with a high-collared top. Mike Tindall complemented the family look in a beige blazer and black trousers. The Tindall family attended the Aintree Grand National Festival, a three-day event where Ladies Day is the second day.
The Grand National race is held on Saturday afternoon of the festival, drawing significant attention from racing enthusiasts. Over 150,000 racegoers are expected over the three-day Aintree Grand National Festival, with crowds for the first day of racing at Aintree topping 28,000, up 22% on last year. More than 45,000 usually attend Aintree for Ladies Day, though the exact attendance figures for Ladies Day at Aintree this year have not been confirmed.
The Aintree festival has a relaxed dress code, advising attendees to come 'dressed to feel your best', and fancy dress is allowed as long as it is not offensive or derogatory. 2-inch heel and a memory foam sole, but whether they were actually comfortable for the entire event remains unknown. Other notable attendees included Charlotte Dawson, who wore a plunging pink dress at the Aintree Grand National Festival on Thursday, and her fiancé Matt Sarsfield, who also attended.
Dolly Maude, a lady-in-waiting to Princess Anne, attended Aintree with Zara Tindall; she was appointed as a lady-in-waiting to Princess Anne in 2024, highlighting royal connections at the event. Around £250 million is expected to be gambled on the Grand National race, underscoring the financial scale of the festival. The Aintree Grand National Festival is broadcast live to a television audience of around 800 million people worldwide, making it a globally watched spectacle.
Mia Tindall struggled to contain her emotions during the horse racing at Aintree, though what specific emotions she displayed and what caused them are not detailed in reports. Which famous faces, besides the Tindalls and Charlotte Dawson, attended the Aintree festival, and who won the best-dressed Ladies Day award at Aintree, are also unknowns.
