Queen Letizia debuted a new pair of navy sailor pants. They are the the 'Pootsie' trousers (US$410) from French high-street label, Sandro. The pleated-front flared trousers feature a high waist and large buttons on the front. They are currently reduced to US$210 at Sandro Paris, or you can pick them up for AU$225 at David Jones in Australia.

Queen Letizia looked elegant in an all-black outfit she pulled together from familiar pieces. She wore her Felipe Varela black sheer sequin blouse which made it's debut at the Prince of Asturias Awards in 2012. Letizia has continued to wear year after year, and most recently in 2015 for the tribute concert for victims of terrorism.

This time around, Letizia teamed the blouse with a black high-waist full-circle skirt which we have seen twice before. Her Majesty introduced the skirt in January 2015 at the Telefónica Ability Awards. The brand of the skirt has yet to be confirmed but I've read mixed reports that it is either Hugo Boss or Carolina Herrera.

For the second leg of the visit, Queen Letizia opted for a comfortable light grey pant suit. The suit is a new addition to her closet and consists of Hugo Boss separates - the BOSS 'Kamalia' fitted blazer with metal detail (US$545), and BOSS 'Acnes6' structured trousers (US$245).

She teamed the suit with a new Carolina Herrera crosshatch houndstooth patterned blouse, similar in style to the one she debuted in January this year.

Queen Letizia coordinated the suit with a new pair of light grey suede peep toe pumps from Magrit. She owns this bespoke model in various colours and fabrics. She also carried a flap clutch with whip-stitch detailing.

I originally thought the bag was new, but it turns out it dates back to 2009. It made its debut during Letizia's visit to the subcontinent of India.

The python skin bag is by Spanish fashion designer, Adolfo Dominguez.

Letizia added a hint of sparkle to the greyscale ensemble with her Chanel 'Plume' earrings.

It is reportedly by Hugo Boss but I have been unable to find it in their current or past inventory. It may be from an upcoming season so I'll keep an eye out for it. The blouse shows all the trademarks of Hugo Boss design, and fuses elements of these two blouses from their current collection.
