Zara and Mike Tindall didn’t want the rain to ruin their night out on Thursday.
Instead, the attractive royal couple carried enormous – and apparently unwieldy – umbrellas as they attended a special screening of ‘Federer: 12 Final Days’ at the Odeon Luxe cinema in London’s Leicester Square.
Zara, 43, cut a striking figure in an embellished knee-length black dress with dramatic puff sleeves, while husband Mike, 45, looked dapper in a black double-breasted blazer and cream chinos.
Princess Anne’s daughter looked elegant in her black dress, which had a floral pattern with sequins on either side.
Looking typically chic, the beaming royal completed her outfit with a pair of black suede stilettos and a gold clutch bag.

Zara wore her short blonde hair behind her ears, revealing silver earrings, while her smoky eye makeup and black nail polish added a touch of glamor to her evening look.
Meanwhile, Mike, the former England rugby player, was a great match for Zara in his smart black blazer, white shirt and tie, which he teamed with chinos and dark suede shoes.
The couple, who married in 2011, were in central London for a special screening of ‘Federer: Twelve Final Days’, which follows star tennis player Roger Federer, who has 20 grand slams to his name, in his final days as a professional player.
Thursday’s outing comes after Mike bared all in little parakeet smugglers with his rugby pals as they marked a year to the British and Irish Lions Tour of Australia.
The former England captain posed with his co-hosts of The Good, The Bad & The Rugby podcast, ex-England and British & Irish Lions star James Haskell and presenter Alex Payne, on Bondi Beach in Australia.
The popular presenters flew down to take on a series of challenges showcasing the Australian lifestyle ahead of the highly anticipated 2025 British and Irish Lions Tour.
The husband of King Charles’ niece Zara left little to the imagination in a little blue parakeet smuggler.
Meanwhile, James, who split from Chloe Madeley last year after ten years together and five years of marriage, opted for a neon pink and yellow pair.

Alex opted for a black pair of speedos as he braved a storm alongside surfboards with his friends.
The podcasters started their Aussie adventure with an adrenaline-fueled challenge as the boys dove into the surf with a race from Bondi Rescue star Hoppo and his team, which saw them run, paddle and surf a wave to be first back on the beach.
The trio then visited WILD LIFE Sydney to hang out with native animals including koalas, kangaroos and a cassowary.
The presenters then explored Australia’s indigenous heritage and culture, visiting the Koorie Heritage Trust education center in Melbourne where they took part in an Emu egg painting challenge.
Alex’s drawing depicting family earned him the win, while Mike’s symbol of loyalty and James’ heartfelt Kangaroo design also showed aspects of the art form they were attempting.
The group then headed to the Melbourne Cricket Ground for their final Australian challenge, where they were met with fast balls from Australian cricket legend Glenn McGrath.
The rapid deliveries tested their reflexes, with Alex expertly dodging them, while James’ heart rate rose to 122 beats per minute.
Mike said: ‘Australia is an incredible destination with a wide range of amazing experiences and things to do and see. From riding the waves at Bondi Beach to interacting with koalas and kangaroos, we immersed ourselves in Australian life and culture, and let’s just say we have some serious bragging rights.

‘Who would have thought that Alex would dominate the surf as a pro or that James would find his spirit animal in a kangaroo?
‘As we prepare for The Lions Tour, we can’t help but wonder: who will take the series win? The real victory for us is in the memories and epic experiences we shared in Australia.”
Sally Cope, Tourism Australia Regional General Manager for the UK and Northern Europe, said: ‘As we prepare for the British & Irish Lions Tour next year, we wanted to showcase Australia’s vibrant culture and sporting experiences and who can Better to test this on the road than The good, the bad and the rugby?
‘This was a fantastic way to share just some of Australia’s diverse offering, from exciting rugby matches to exploring our stunning coastal landscapes, getting up close to some of our unique wildlife and experiencing our indigenous and sporting cultures. ‘
Australia expects to welcome more than 40,000 travelers for the tour next year. The British and Irish Lions Tour is one of several sporting events in Australia taking place in what has been dubbed the decade of green and gold, referring to the country’s sporting colours.
Other major sporting events include the Ashes series in December 2025, the 2027 Rugby World Cup and the Brisbane Olympic and Paralympic Games in 2032.
Mike is known for his unique sense of humor, and his latest Instagram post was no exception.
At a charity golf event in Sutton Coldfield, he jokingly expressed his interest in playing Adam Sandler as the uptight hockey player in a Happy Gilmore sequel, telling a golf ball to ‘kiss its white a**’.
He filmed the clip last week at a charity golf event to raise money for Parkinson’s disease, alongside his wife Zara and guests including Zara’s brother Peter Phillips, Peter’s ex-wife Autumn and long-time family friend Dolly Maude at the Belfry Golf Course.

In a bizarre impression, the former rugby player recreated the famous scene from the 1996 comedy film where irascible Happy lashed out after his shot missed the golf cup.
Mike took to Instagram to share the light-hearted impression, writing, “If @adamsandler isn’t available for Happy Gilmore 2 then…”
In the video, Mike leaned over the ball and jokingly shouted, “What’s wrong with you? Are you too good for your home? Kiss my white ball!,’.
The event was held at the Belfry Hotel and Resort in Sutton Coldfield, and a number of the couple’s friends attended, including Dame Denise Rosemarie Lewis DBE, actor James Nesbitt and former competitive swimmer Mark Foster.
