​Their Majesties presided over the traditional celebration of the Pascua Militar, which is deeply rooted in the Spanish military and dates back to 1782 during the reign of Carlos III. The ceremony is held annually on the day of Epiphany at the Royal Palace of Madrid.

As tradition dedicates, Queen Letizia wore a long dress. It is customary for royal women to wear a full length gown to the Pascua Militar ceremony. Below is a look back at Letizia's previous ensembles since becoming Queen consort.​

Today she opted for a luxurious midnight blue velvet gown and a new navy Emporio Armani metallic-tweed jacket (RRP US$745). It's believed that the dress is the same as the one she wore for the 2012 and 2014 Pascua Militar.

The highlight of today's ensemble was the 'joyas de pasar' pearl and diamond brooch.  This is the first occasion we have seen Her Majesty wear the heirloom piece reserved for the exclusive use of Spanish queens.

As Queen Victoria Eugenia (Ena) described it, it's "a brooch with a large pale gray pearl surrounded by diamonds and from which hangs a pear-shaped pearl".  Below is a picture of Queen Ena wearing the brooch circa 1920's.
