Queen Letizia debuted a new black floral applique clutch from Uterque.

The clutch is made of cowhide and the front features a set of hand-sewn leather flowers. It was from the Autumn/Winter 2014/15 collection but has since sold out. Queen Letizia also owns a similar version of this bag in red which she debuted in November last year on her solo visit to Portugal.

She cordinated the dress with her bespoke Magrit charcoal suede platform pumps and wore her Links of London 'Hope Egg' white topaz earrings (£275).

Despite her status and access to high fashion, Queen Letizia has again proved that she is not afraid to recycle an outfit over and over. In the age of austerity, Queen Letizia leads by example.

The tuxedo consists of the BOSS 'Jawona' wool blend blazer (£450) paired with the BOSS 'Tawona' tuxedo-stripe pants (£270).

Letizia also debuted a new pair of killer heels. She wore the Lodi 'Sara' burgundy/black pumps. The patent shoes feature an ombre effect and have a 10.5 cm heel with a 0.5 cm concealed platform. This is the second time in a matter of weeks that Letiiza has worn a pair of shoes by the Spanish footwear manufacturer, Lodi. She debuted the Lodi 'Debra' pumps at the National Research Awards on 15th Jan this year.

She carried a small clutch bag with a rhinestone embellishment and lasso closure.

ID UPDATE (5/04/2016):

One of my blog readers has successfully identified the clutch! It is from luxury Italian brand, Tod's. The black satin clutch has a lizard trim with a jeweled toggle button closure.

Letizia complemented her chic outfit with cherry red lips, a chignon up-do and a dazzling pair of white gold diamond chandelier earrings which she has worn many times in the past.

Unfortunately there are no high resolution photos from today's event so I can't clearly define which earrings she is wearing, but they look like they may be her semi-precious ruby cabochon earrings as shown in this photo below.

Queen Letizia wraps up in cosy red wool coat

19/1/2015

The Queen of Spain began her working week in a workshop with the Spanish Association Against Cancer (AECC). She was photographed making her way to the headquarters of the AECC in Madrid.

View image | gettyimages.com

As Honorary President of the association, Queen Letizia's role is to bring public attention to the subject of cancer research, and campaign for more resources into the research field, while also improving the conditions for cancer patients and their relatives during treatment. Today’s agenda was to talk through the preparations for the upcoming “Cancer Day”, which takes place every year on February 4th to shed light on the fight against cancer.

casareal.es

Letizia arrived at the headquarters wearing a red wool wrap coat.

View image | gettyimages.com

This has been a staple in her closet for many years but there is still mixed opinion whether this coat is by Felipe Varela or Hugo Boss. My hunch is Hugo Boss based on this image of this fashion blogger who listed her coat as Hugo Boss. The cut, pockets and seams are a good match for Letizia's coat.

Nonetheless, Her majesty is a loyal fan of this wrap-style silhouette, owning it in several colors and from a variety of designers.

Today she kept warm with a new patterned scarf yet to be identified.

View image | gettyimages.com

She also debuted a new pair of gold circle stud earrings.

ID UPDATE (Oct 2018):
One of our readers Mary suggests the earrings could be by Ansorena, a jeweler closely linked to the Spanish Royal House. You may recall, Ansorena was commissioned to make the "Princess" Fleur de Lys tiara by Felipe in 2009 for Letizia on the occasion of their 5th wedding anniversary. The style below are the the Ansorena Ars Design Rose Gold earrings (€1,450).

Familiar accessories included her black leather platform booties and Hugo Boss 'Norrmalm' business bag, first seen last month at the AECC headquarters.

In the board room, Queen Letizia took off her coat to reveal her Hugo Boss 'Jetala' navy blazer and matching 'Taru' trouser. Under her jacket was a navy blue and white striped blouse, which is new in her closet.

Below are stock images of the pant suit in grey.

This was another perfect executive ensemble from Letizia. Even though much of her outfit has been recycled, she kept it fresh with a few new pieces.

The most surprising aspect of Letizia's outfit was a yellow band bracelet inscribed with the word ARHOE, referring to the National Commission for the Rationalization of Spanish Working Hours which aims to improve the work/life balance for Spaniards. Coincidentally, Their Majesties received members of ARHOE in audience last week. During the event held at the Palacio de la Zarzuela , representatives of ARHOE must have gifted the Queen with a bracelet to promote their cause.
