Zara Phillips goes for a little sparkle on her LBD

Zara Phillips is best known for her elaborate headpieces at royal wedding ceremonies so it was lovely to see the Olympic athlete keeping is chic and simple in a classic black dress, and no over-sized hat in sight! The short sleeved tunic style black dress flattered Zara's sporty figure and the gorgeous embellished neckline made the down to earth look a bit more party. This is a great style of dress for anyone with a troublesome middle too as it draws the eye upwards and away from your hips. Teamed with an evening essential- the metallic clutch bag and sexy strappy shoes Zara looked every bit the A-lister.
