Zara Tindall's Royal Ascot aviator sunglasses are still available to buy
This summer chunky aviator sunglasses reign supreme as the must-have accessory, and Zara Tindall has nailed the trend with her go-to pair at this year's Royal Ascot
The first day of Royal Ascot kicked off today and saw plenty of famous faces and royal family members descending on the racecourse for the world-famous event. Amongst the royal racegoers was Zara Tindall, who rarely misses the chance to attend an equestrian event.
For the occasion Zara opted for a figure-flattering blue midi dress which she completed with pale pink accessories, however the part of her outfit that most caught our eye was her sunglasses, which were perfect for nailing this summer's trending aviator silhouette. Chunky aviators have become this year's must-have style of sunnies, and Zara's Ledbury Aviator-Style Sunglasses from Finlay & Co are the perfect example of how to execute the trend whilst still looking sophisticated and timeless.
Despite their chunky design, the Finlay & Co shades manage to look elegant, rather than edgy, thanks to their semi-transluscent frames. This stops them from looking too heavy or obtrusive on your face, with the soft beige colour ensuring they still look expensive and luxurious.
Whilst most trend-led sunglasses actually offer very little protection for your eyes, the lenses in Zara's Ledbury Aviator-Style Sunglasses are equipped with Carl Zeiss lenses for 100% protection from UVA/UVB rays, and have a graduated design which stops the glare from getting in your eyes. Each pair is also handmade in Italy from sustainable biodegradable Mazzucchelli acetate, which makes their £150 price tag all the more reasonable.
We did spot some other similar styles to Zara's chic sunglasses, including this limited edition pair of Le Specs Fortune Teller Aviator-Frame Sunglasses for £65. They have a slightly more square-shaped aviator design, with green-tinted lenses that also offer 100% UV protection.
Meanwhile this pair of Ray-Ban sunglasses (£139) have a more traditional rounded aviator design, and come in five colours. Meanwhile bargain hunters can pick up H&M's £12.99 Aviator Sunglasses in four different colourways, although it's worth noting that their lenses are 'UV protective' tinted plastic, and may not offer the same protection as the 100% coverage other pairs do.
However if you want to get your hands on Zara's exact pair, you can still snap up the Finlay & Co Ledbury Aviator-Style Sunglasses for £150 from Harvey Nichols. You can also pick them up directly from the Finlay & Co website where they're priced at £160 and give you the option of adding prescription or polarised lenses.

The Firm 2 review: Is this the real Aamer Anwar? I think it is
*** At the start of this new docu-series about the life and work of the lawyer Aamer Anwar, the man himself says to someone off camera: 'It's almost like a Line of Duty episode.' I have no idea why he says that because nothing here is like a Line of Duty episode, unless you count Anwar's affection for Martin Compston-style waistcoats. The second series is a world away from the first. Where that was a tonally bizarre mix of the serious and the silly, the new run plays it straight down the line. Cheerio to Sex and the City and Suits, hello The Handmaid's Tale and Panorama. But is it better for it? It is certainly shorter. As a stark illustration of its slimmed-down self, The Firm has gone from eight episodes to three. Series two brings together some of the high-profile cases Aamer Anwar & Co have dealt with in recent years, including the death in police custody of Sheku Bayoh. Other cases include Margaret Caldwell's fight for an inquiry into the handling of her daughter Emma's murder investigation, and the deaths of Katie Allan and William Lindsay in Polmont Young Offenders Institute. Read more It is impossible to imagine what these families have been through, but The Firm fills in some of the details with care and compassion. Sometimes it's the little things that speak loudest, like Katie's mum bringing the dog with her into meetings. It's a comfort to her to have the dog there, but would other firms be so understanding? The same point about small details applies to Anwar himself. Last time, he was a flash lawyer about town, stopping off at his tailors to order new suits, or slo-mo walking to the office like some pop star in a video. Here he rocks up to Margaret Caldwell's door with an inside out Sainsbury's carrier bag in place of a briefcase. She welcomes him in (as does the dog, Teddy) like he's one of the family. You can't fake that level of closeness. Likewise the moments when emotions are running high and only a hug will do. There is no such thing as 'good news' in this corner of the law. None of the families featured want to be in this position. But there is a sense of pride in standing up for those no longer here, and that comes across loud and clear. Besides the families and Anwar we hear from a much wider spectrum of contributors, from a former detective who worked on the Emma Caldwell investigation, to academics. There is a long look, too, at the work of the asylum and immigration department. The new faces bring a much-needed sense of freshness to otherwise familiar material, much of it taken from news bulletins. Another big change from the first series: we don't hear from the junior members of staff. They appear in meetings and at court, but not a peep is heard. That's a real pity. I'd hate to think they were paying the price for some of the dafter editorial decisions in series one. By and large, this new series gets the balance right between personal and legal, and is more sombre for it. Will there be a third series? I'd say the odds were against, not least because the law works so slowly it will be a long time before there is something new to say, but who knows? By that time, the juniors here might be running a firm of their own.

King and Queen welcome Peter Phillips' girlfriend to Royal Ascot
The King and Queen enjoyed a day at the races as they welcomed the girlfriend of the Princess Royal's son to the royal fold. Charles and Camilla hosted guests in the royal box on the first day of Royal Ascot including the King's nephew Peter Phillips and his partner, NHS nurse Harriet Sperling. She made an appearance for the first time in the carriage procession the royal family make onto the famous Berkshire racecourse to signal the start of the day. The royal procession is celebrating its 200th anniversary, a tradition begun during the reign of George IV in 1825 when the monarch was accompanied by the Duke of Wellington. The King and Queen rode in the first carriage with Prince Faisal, a member of the Saudi royal family, and Lady Sarah Keswick, one of the Queen's official companions. Behind them travelled the Princess Royal with Camilla's sister Annabel Elliot and the Duke and Duchess of Wellington and they were followed by a coach carrying Anne's son Peter Phillips and his girlfriend. Other royals spotted among the crowds included Princess Beatrice and her mother Sarah, Duchess of York and Zara and Mike Tindall. The head of state and his wife have continued Queen Elizabeth II's close association with the Berkshire race meet but they had no luck with the sport of Kings when their horse Reaching High was well beaten in the Ascot Stakes. The late Queen was a passionate owner and breeder of thoroughbreds and had more than 20 Royal Ascot winners during her 70-year reign. Charles and Camilla have taken on her stable of horses and enjoyed their first Royal Ascot winner in 2023 when their horse Desert Hero triumphed in the King George V states.

Penny Lancaster, 54, wows in a floral midi dress as she enjoys a day out with son Alastair, 19, at the first day of Royal Ascot 2025
Penny Lancaster looked incredible as she attended at the first day of Royal Ascot 2025 in Berkshire on Tuesday. The wife of hitmaker Rod Stewart, 54, made the occasion a family affair, as she was accompanied by her son Alastair, 19. She cut a chic figure in a plunging vintage dress from Dolce and Gabbana, teamed with a Annabeth Fenley percher hat. The beauty added a pair of gold heels and toted her belongings in a stylish Lowe bee basket bag, worth a whopping £1,100. Meanwhile son Alastair looked ever the gentleman in a morning suit with a grey top hat. Penny was also joined by book editor Rosie Nixon, Penny showed off her chic sense of style in the fitted floral dress on Royal Ascot's first day. Royal Ascot, the jewel in the crown of the UK racing calendar, kicked off on Tuesday with the Queen Anne Stakes and will run until Saturday. King Charles and Camilla are likely to arrive in the famous carriage procession along the course and past the stands that will welcome hundreds of thousands of punters during the five-day meet. It is a royal tradition that has reached its 200th anniversary this year after it was first held in 1825 during the reign of King George IV. The festival was founded by Queen Anne in 1711 after she declared Ascot ideal for 'horses fit for kings' and it is now a major social event and sporting attraction. It comes after Sir Rod Stewart, 80, put on a very animated display as he posed next to his glamorous wife Penny at the Mission: Impossible 8 premiere in London last month. The couple joined plenty of famous faces on the red carpet in Leicester Square to celebrate Tom Cruise 's eighth and final instalment, The Final Reckoning. The film, which has faced multiple delays, finally hit cinemas on May 23 2025. Penny looked effortlessly chic in a yellow satin dress, while Rod bared his chest in a white ruffled shirt and rocked a trendy jacket. The loved-up pair, who have have been married since 2007, were joined by two young gentleman at the premiere. The Maggie May hitmaker, 80, has eight children with five different women, two of whom are sons Alastair, 19, and Aidan, 14, which he raises with third wife Penny, 54. Rod also has Liam, 30, and Renee, 32, with his second wife, model Rachel Hunter, 55, while Kimberly, 45, and Sean, 44, are from his first marriage to actress Alana Stewart, 79. Daughter Ruby, 37, is from a former relationship with model Kelly Emberg, 65 and Rod's firstborn child is Sarah Streeter, 61, who was raised by her adoptive parents Gerald and Evelyn Thubron. Rod's daughter Kimberly showed off her growing baby bump as she made a surprise appearance at the American Music Awards. The model and her siblings Sean, Ruby, Renee, and Liam surprised their famous dad on stage at the ceremony as he was honoured with the Lifetime Achievement Award. Kimberly announced in March that she was pregnant with her second child, which will be her famous father's fifth grandchild. Los Angeles based Kimberly is already a mum to 13-year-old daughter Delilah Genoveva Stewart, who she shares with her ex-flame Benicio del Toro. She looked radiant in a figure-hugging black dress in a snap shared on Instagram as she joined her family at the star-studded event at BleauLive Theater at Fontainebleau Las Vegas on Monday. Kimberly did not reveal who the father of the baby was, only that she was expecting a son. Singing icon Rod was so shocked to see his family at Monday's ceremony that he dropped an F-bomb that was edited out of the broadcast. 'I'm so f***ing overwhelmed that you're here,' he said lovingly to his kids, according to reporter at the ceremony. However, the version that aired on CBS featured a clumsy cut away from Stewart during his cursing to a bizarre shot of audience members, who were holding up their phones to film his speech. Instead of beeping the profanity, CBS appeared to just snip out the offending word, resulting in a jarring return to his speech mid-word. Rod said he was 'absolutely flabbergasted' because he had no idea that his children were going to be attending the ceremony, much less giving him a warm introduction. 'I thought you had recorded it earlier!' he said of their introduction.
