New mum Zara Phillips has found herself at the centre of a fashion firestorm, with style critics blasting her “unflattering” outfits at the Cheltenham races.
The 32-year-old royal – who gave birth to her first child just eight weeks ago – attended the races on Tuesday and Wednesday and fell foul of fashion critics on both occasions.
Yesterday’s outfit – consisting of a tweed coat, shaggy fur stoles, brown knee-high boots and maroon hat – was condemned for being “odd” and “unflattering” with several newspapers, including the Daily Express, declaring Zara had “got it all wrong again”.
“Her shapeless coat did nothing for her post-pregnancy curves,” the newspaper cruelly wrote.
The previous day’s ensemble – a cream wool coat, black tights, black high heels with a brown feathered hat – was also lambasted as a poor fashion choice that failed to flatter the royal figure.
Tuesday’s outfit was also blasted for “doing nothing” for Zara’s figure.

Sadly, this isn’t the first time Zara’s sense of style has been publicly criticised – she is frequently attacked for her fashion choices, and constantly compared to her cousin-in-law the Duchess of Cambridge, who seems unable to put a well-heeled foot wrong.
Zara’s outfits, like this one that exposed her red bra, are frequently criticised.

Zara has never claimed to be a fashionista – indeed, she spends most of her time in mud-splatted riding clothes tending to her horses – so we think the critics should cut her some slack, especially when she is still recovering from childbirth and facing the same challenges of dressing her new figure every mum faces.
