Zara Tindall was seen in a rare selfie on Saturday as she joined her husband, former England rugby star Mike Tindall, at the Women's Rugby World Cup Final at Twickenham Stadium. The daughter of Princess Anne and Captain Mark Phillips, 44, was seen rocking a navy sweater and coat, but what caught our attention was her autumnal manicure. Holding up a plastic cup inside the stadium, Zara wore a vampy burgundy nail polish, something her royal family members, including the Princess of Wales, would be discouraged from sporting in public. It is believed that royal protocol suggests women wear their nails short with a neutral or clear hue.
However, Zara's nails are bang-on trend for autumn 2025. "I always find clients get excited to refresh their nail colour, and autumn really is the perfect time to lean into richer, moodier shades," celebrity manicurist Lucky Tucker, told HELLO! previously. "Rich berry tones, deep chocolate browns, and forest greens feel luxurious and instantly give that autumnal mood. For something softer, creamy nudes and taupes are timeless, while a touch of copper or bronze metallic can really elevate a manicure for day-to-night wear."

She also wore mascara to enhance her lashes as she posed with Mike, who opted for a beige sweater. "What a day!! Massive congrats to @redrosesrugby what a win," Mike penned on social media. "Amazing atmosphere, thanks to @howdeninsurance for having us! There will be some sore heads in the morning!"
