Dear Readers,

I we do catch up posts when I return in mid February.

Queen Letizia in familiar black and white Felipe Varela ensemble for Diplomatic Corps Reception

31/1/2018

The King and Queen of Spain hosted the annual Diplomatic Corps reception at the Royal Palace of Madrid today. ​
Picture
Their Majesties greeted foreign diplomats and ambassadors as they arrived in the palace's Throne Room.
Picture
As she has done in the past for this gala event, Queen Letizia opted for a sartorial repeat. She first wore this black and white Felipe Varela ensemble at the Pascua Militar in 2016.

Peeking under the the floor-length embroidered skirt were her black LODI patent pumps.
Picture
Letizia wore her hair loose and smoothed behind her ears, showcasing her elegant diamond and pearl drop earrings.  These have been in her possession for well over a decade and I believe it is the first time she has worn them since becoming the Queen of Spain.  The design is very similar to her bezel set diamonds and Australian pearl earrings.

Queen Letizia is regal in red for Leonor's Order of the Golden Fleece ceremony

30/1/2018

King Felipe VI of Spain who turned 50 today presented his eldest daughter Leonor, Princess of Asturias with her Order of the Golden Fleece at an official ceremony at Madrid’s Royal Palace.  
Picture
Image source: casareal.es
Leonor was granted the order on 30 October 2015 – the day before her 10th birthday by His Majesty. The young princess is the 201st Knight of the Order of the Golden Fleece and the first to be granted the honour under the reign of her father.  According to El País, King Felipe awarded Leonor the Order for “reasons of tradition and continuity and the desire to institutionalise the figure of the Princess of Asturias as heiress of the Crown.”
Queen Letizia looked regal in red for this historic reception.
Picture
The Felipe Varela ensemble is a repeat from the State Visit to Japan in 2017. She also wore it in November last year at the World Cancer Leaders Summit.
Picture
Picture
Like in the past, Letizia opted for a monochrome look and accessorized with tonal red pieces. They included her Felipe Varela suede flap clutch bag and LODI 'Sara' ombre patent pumps.
Picture
Picture
She finished the outfit with her​ Gold & Roses Double Dagger Earrings (€2,125).
Picture
Picture
The royal siblings looked stylish sporting timeless blue and pink dresses by Carolina Herrera for the occasion.

There are so many fabulous photos from today's special event which you can check out on Zimbio.  Furthermore, we were treated to a series of candid photos of the Spanish royal family which were released to mark King Felipe's 50th birthday. You can see the full collection on the Casa Real website.

Queen Letizia tweaks a familiar look for Joma Sport visit

On Friday, Queen Letizia joined her husband King Felipe on a tour of the Joma Sports headquarters. Joma is a Spanish sports clothing manufacturer based in the ancient city of Toledo. The royal couple were there to mark the 50th anniversary of the company.

Her Majesty stepped out in a familiar Hugo Boss ensemble which we first saw in November 2016 during the State Visit to Portugal (photo shown on the right).

The coordinating set includes the BOSS 'Colorina' wool-blend striped coat and BOSS 'Malivi' color-block wool blend skirt. The coat is still available in limited sizes and discounted by 75% at Nordstrom Rack!
Picture
Picture
Letizia again teamed it with her Hugo Boss 'Luxury Staple C' Leather clutch bag and camel vintage-inspired block heels also by the German brand.
Picture
Picture
There were however a couple subtle differences between today's outfit and the one Letizia wore in Portugal. Her sweater today had a mock-neck compared to the crew neckline worn previously. We can assume the mock-neck top is also by Hugo Boss given that the colour of the sweaters is identical. 
Picture
Picture
We believe it may be the Hugo Boss 'Foebe' knit wool top (US$185) from the BOSS line. The style is now reduced down to $55.50 at Saks Fifth Avenue!
Picture
Picture
Rounding off her perfectly coordinated look were a new pair of drop earrings featuring coloured stones. 
Picture
They are by Spanish jewellery brand Lisi Fracchia. The stud is a Spanish sphalerite stone - a rare gem from the Aliva Mine in the north of Spain. The drop includes three green garnets and an opal. The earrings are an exclusive design for Her Majesty however below is a similar style on the company's website.

The highlight of the ensemble was on her feet!

For her arrival and exit from the building, Queen Letizia rugged up in a black trench-style wool coat. The new piece is reportedly by Hugo Boss but I have been unable to locate it in their stock catalogue.  The single-breasted coat features epaulettes, gun flaps, buckle cuff details and is finished with a belted waist.  I'll update the post if we ever find the model.

Letizia has only ever trusted Felipe Varela to outfit her for this special occasion. Today she opted for a luxurious midnight blue velvet gown by the Spanish designer. The straight silhouette is cinched in at the waist with a matching belt.  Other features include a Peter Pan collar, front jewel buttons, peasant sleeves, and tonal embroidered floral detail on the skirt.

Queen Letizia wore a grey striped blouson dress featuring a high neck with tie. I am currently out of town and haven't had a chance to identify the piece. ​She teamed the dress with her red Magrit 'Francesca' suede boots which she debuted a couple of weeks ago at her final engagement of 2017.

ID UPDATE (19 JAN 2018)

The mystery of Letizia's dress has been solved and it's origin is not what I expected! Nuria Tiburcio from Vanitatis magazine reports that the dress is vintage and originally belonged to Letizia's mother-in-law, Queen Sofia!  The article includes an exclusive photo showing Queen Sofia wearing the dress on 22 November 1984 when she was only 46. Click here to see the photo.

The young princesses wore dresses by Spanish childrenswear brand Nanos.
