In February, King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia attended the National Culture Awards and the Queen wore a Temperly London dress. This is one that I’ve been waiting patiently for Letizia to wear again and I was so happy to see it. I’m a sucker for embroidery, plus a floral design and pink? Obviously this dress was going to make the list.

For Armed Forces day, Queen Letizia wore a white Bouret top and a colourful José Hidalgo skirt. It felt a little retro with the big shoulders and bright colours, but I thought it was great for the occasion: a summery look but still formal.

Pantsuits caused quite a ruckus on social media this year, but one royal that can always pull of a pantsuit (and does so quite often), is Queen Letizia. For the Design and Innovation Awards the Queen wore an Inés Martin pantsuit. What would have been an otherwise typical outfit for such an event was taken up a notch with a tied waist that I loved.

During the Spanish state visit to Denmark Queen Letizia wore this Rotate Birger Christensen dress for an evening at the Joaquín Sorolla: Light in Motion exhibition. This look is classic Letizia! A slinky black dress, sparkles, and an open back? This was practically made for her. What’s more, is that it is from a Danish brand, which is a nice touch to her hosts!

Obviously I had to go with a tiara for the number one spot. But there’s more to it than that; Queen Letizia not only looks lovely in a red Carolina Herrera gown, it’s a nice example of representing her country, during a state visit from the Colombian President and First Lady. She’s also wearing my favourite tiara in the Spanish collection: the Spanish floral tiara. Here’s a better look at it, as well as Queen Ena’s bow brooch.

The rest of her look is simple: her hair is down and she didn’t wear any other major pieces of jewelry, but that’s exactly why I love this look. ‘Go big or go home’ is fun but sometimes, less is more. I think Queen Letizia nailed that here.
