The main objective of World Rare Diseases Day is to raise awareness amongst the general public and decision-makers about rare diseases and their impact on patients' lives. This year it is celebrated within the framework of the campaign 'Symptoms of hope' powered by the Spanish Federation for Rare Diseases (FEDER), which seeks to position the impact of COVID-19 on the community as well as the lessons learned in the last year.

During the event Her Majesty addressed the auditorium 'In the last twelve months, each and every one of you has been, even more, an example and a reference of dignity, courage and strength', referring to the struggle before and during the pandemic. Queen Letizia also delivered this year's awards which recognised initiatives that have committed to research, fought for social transformation or have come together to guarantee the care of families during the health crisis.

After the projection of an audiovisual on the winners, Their Majesties delivered the diplomas to Regino Hernández, Alejandro Valverde and Joana Pastrana among others.

Queen Letizia brought back the Massimo Dutti golden pleated skirt which she debuted last summer for a family night out at the theatre.

She contrasted the gold hue with a black knit top and her black Manolo Blahnik BB snakeskin-embossed pumps with a custom rubber platform sole.

The highlight of the outfit was a new pair of emerald 'Puri Lace' earrings by Rod Almayate (€220).

Rod Almayate was founded by Diego Díaz Marín and Roberto Ferlito. Roberto is an Italian accessories designer, who has been working in fashion for more than 15 years and Diego Diaz Marin is a Spanish artist and photographer who worked in Italy for some of the biggest magazines and brands. The pair created the label over 10 years ago in Florence under the name Schield. You may recall Queen Letizia has previously worn a pair of Schield earrings - their 'Cyborg Flowers' creation. Diego Díaz Marín and Roberto Ferlito recently moved to Malaga, Spain to change their market and style, and also changed the name of their brand to Rod Almayate.
