Queen Letizia stepped out in a interesting design by fashion giant, Zara. The pleated piece gives the illusion of dress but is in fact a jumpsuit. The jumpsuit dress features a round ruffle collar, and long sleeves with ruffle appliqués on the elbows. It has a back zip closure, and is finished with a contrasting fabric belt. It has sold out but had a R.R.P. of US$69.99.

Letizia complemented the black belt with a new black handbag by Lidia Faro. It is their signature 'Letizia' model made from reptile skin leather.

On her feet she wore a new pair of pumps by Magrit in a matching teal hue as the dress. I believe the custom style is based on the brand's Lissette model (€269).

Letizia finished the look with her Chanel 'Comète' Earrings in 18K white gold and diamonds.
