As the Queen’s granddaughter, Zara Phillips is expected to look ladylike at all times but she struggled to maintain her composure in a bra-baring backless dress yesterday.
Zara, 31, was photographed in a series of unflattering outfits on the Gold Coast yesterday, including one that was slashed to the waist, revealing her red lace bra.

While the Queen would definitely not approve of her exposed undergarments, Zara seemed relaxed throughout the two-hour photo shoot to promote the upcoming Magic Millions Racing Carnival.
“She’s great with horses — it was such a relaxed shoot,” an insider said. “She took it all in her stride and had a lot of fun with it.”
The 14th in line to the throne also wore a sequinned cocktail dress and a glamorous dip-dyed patterned creation, but kicked off her high heels in favour of thongs in between takes.

Zara, an Olympic equestrienne, is more accustomed to modelling sports and leisurewear. She currently has a contract with Musto, which sees her donning rain jackets, fleeces, vests and chaps.
Zara will be back in Australia in January to attend the Magic Millions carnival, for which she is an ambassador.
