Zara and Mike Tindall joined guests in London on Monday evening for DEBRA’s 10th Anniversary Great Chefs Dinner, marking a decade of fundraising in support of people living with the rare genetic skin condition epidermolysis bullosa.
The couple attended the black-tie event at The Langham Hotel, where they were photographed alongside luxury car dealer Tom Hartley, businessman Tony Taunk and fellow guests.
Mr Hartley later shared a picture of the group on Instagram, writing: “Great to meet up with Tony @taunk @mike_tindall12 & Zara Tindall @langham_london this evening for a very special charity ‘Debra’s’.”
Zara, 44, chose two new pieces for the occasion. She wore the Violetta midi dress by Australian label Rebecca Vallance, retailing for £650, paired with Aspinal of London’s £375 Sunrise Sunset Clutch.

Rebecca Vallance, founded in 2012, has become a celebrity-favoured brand known for sleek silhouettes and modern tailoring.
The Violetta line features a blue crepe, designed for a precise fit, with Zara’s version featuring a bow embellishment on the shoulder.
Her accessory, described by Aspinal as “sophisticated and beautiful,” is handcrafted from full-grain leather using a slot-weave technique passed down through generations of artisans.
Each strand of leather is hand-cut and woven to create a textured finish.

The clutch features a grosgrain-lined interior with two compartments and is accompanied by a dual-length plaited chain strap, allowing for multiple wear options.
Mike, 46, opted for a classic black tuxedo and white shirt, accessorised with a blue butterfly pin, a symbol associated with DEBRA’s campaign to raise awareness of epidermolysis bullosa.
The genetic condition, often referred to as “butterfly skin”, causes skin to be as fragile as a butterfly’s wings, leading to painful blistering from even minor friction.
The Great Chefs Dinner has become one of DEBRA’s flagship fundraising events, bringing together leading chefs and supporters to generate funds for research and care.

PAThis year marked its 10th anniversary, with proceeds going towards projects that improve the quality of life for those affected.
The event was attended by a number of high-profile guests from business and sport, with an auction also taking place to boost fundraising efforts.
Zara, the daughter of Princess Anne, regularly lends her support to charitable events alongside her husband.
Both have longstanding links with a range of causes, particularly those connected to health and children’s welfare.
