Cornbury Horse Trials' third day proved to be quite the royal style affair, with three of the most stylish women in the British royal circle stepping out for a day of equestrian action.
The Duchess of Edinburgh, Zara Tindall and Princess Beatrice all made an appearance, but while they may have been attending the same event, their fashion choices couldn't have been more different.
From Sophie's polished take on classic country dressing to Zara's effortlessly cool, contemporary look and Beatrice's romantic, vintage-inspired ensemble, each royal put her own spin on countryside style.
And, as always, it was the details that made each look. From much-loved designer pieces and trusted royal favourites to new-season accessories, there was plenty of outfit inspiration to take away - whether you're dressing for the races, an autumnal day in the country or simply want to channel a little royal style.
I've hunted down the exact pieces worn by all three, plus some chic high street alternatives, so you can recreate their looks for considerably less.
Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh
The Duchess of Edinburgh embraced polished country chic in her trusty Soler London corduroy jacket and matching A-line skirt, both of which she has already worn four times this year.
She teamed the look with her favourite Penelope Chilvers cowboy boots and a Strathberry mini tote, finishing with delicate gold jewellery for an elegant touch.

Zara Tindall looked effortlessly chic in a utility jacket from her go-to brand, Fairfax & Favor, paired with barrel-leg jeans by Citizens of Humanity.
She added chunky ankle boots and a new Fairfax & Favor bag, while her signature sunglasses - the Valley Eyewear Hutch design - completed the look.

Princess Beatrice
Princess Beatrice channelled a vintage-inspired aesthetic in a lace midi dress by Ulla Johnson, featuring a ruffled collar, sheer detailing and a rich autumnal hunter green hue.
She layered the feminine dress with a longline houndstooth tweed and velvet jacket by Byan, adding Maje buckle ankle boots embellished with studs for a little edge.
