Pregnant Zara Phillips channels the Swinging Sixties in retro maternity dress

During pregnancy, finding ordinary clothes that look good can be hard enough. And as for fancy dress, well – that’s a whole different challenge.
But Zara Phillips seemed to manage admirably as she attended the Goodwood Revival Festival yesterday.
Miss Phillips, who is five months pregnant, wore a 1920s-style monochrome dress for the event, which celebrates vintage vehicles.

The Queen's granddaughter, 32, was joined by her rugby player husband Mike Tindall, 34, at the annual event.
Zara channeled the Sixties with a monochrome dress and matching cardigan with sheer black tights and pumps. She accessorised her look with a chic cloche hat and a string of Audrey Hepburn-style pearls.
Her husband also got into the spirit of the day by donning a vintage pilot uniform.
He met a real high-flyer when Zara, 32, and he were introduced to pilot Tracey Curtis-Taylor next to a Spirit of Artemis plane.

The pilot, who is experienced in flying vintage planes, will fly the Boeing Steerman plane 7000 miles from Cape Town in South Africa to Goodwood from November 1, recreating the pioneering journey of Lady Mary Heath in 1928.
Aviation and motor car enthusiasts head to the Goodwood Revival Festival every year to celebrate the golden age of motor racing.
The three-day event celebrates the 40s, 50s, and 60s and, like Zara and Mike, many visitors embrace the opportunity to dress up in vintage clothing.
