Today, Queen Letizia held a meeting with the Spanish Committee of Representatives for People with Disabilities (CERMI). The organisation serves as a platform for representation and defense of citizens with disabilities.
Queen Letizia opted for a chic professional style, wearing a classic combination of black, white and grey.
The trendy black Zara cape has been a staple part of Letizia's wardrobe over the past few months.
This is the third occasion she has worn it since it's debut in November last year.
She teamed the cape with a new blouse featuring a pin-tuck front and swing silhouette. The soft-white top is reportedly by Hugo Boss, but I have been unable to find it in their current or past collections. It may be from an upcoming season so I'll keep an eye out for it.
She wore familiar grey Hugo Boss trousers and completed the outfit with recognizable accessories which consisted of the Hugo Boss BOSS 'Bespoke' handbag (£995 / US$1295), Magrit 'Mila' black leather pumps and Links of London Hope Egg earrings.

Today, the Queen of Spain attended the announcement of the 2016 Princess Girona Award winner in the category of "Entity". Queen Letizia attended on behalf of her eldest daughter, Leonor. The 10 year old royal heir is now the honorary president of the Princess Girona Foundation, a position her father, Felipe VI once held as Prince of Asturias. The name of the foundation was changed in December 2014 to reflect the title now held by Leonor, Princess of Asturias.
This award is intended to distinguish institutions who work with young people to encourage entrepreneurship, employment, and education, as well improving the lives of disadvantaged youth in Spain.
For the occasion, Queen Letizia wore new pieces from Spanish high-street brand Massimo Dutti. The label is part of the Inditex group - a conglomerate that includes Letizia's favorites, Zara and Uterque. Letizia has not worn this clothing line for several years so it was surprise to see Her Majesty revisit this once-forgotten brand.
Today, the Queen paired the Massimo Dutti beige linen-blend coat (€165) with the Massimo Dutti striped sweatshirt (€25.95).
She accessorized with familiar pieces. She carried the Uterque embossed reptile-skin wristlet clutch and on her feet were Magrit black leather pumps.
Queen Letzia finished the outfit with her Carolina Herrera 'Falling Jasmine' stud earrings.

Today, the King and Queen of Spain attended the 'Cervantes Award' ceremony held at the Alcala de Henares University on the outskirts of Madrid. The prize is one of the most regarded literary awards in Spain and Latin America, and is granted annually to honour the lifetime achievement of an eminent writer in the Spanish language.
The award is named in honour of the Spanish author Miguel de Cervantes, who is best known for his satirical novel, Don Quixote. This year, the Cervantes 2015 Award went to the 81-year-old Mexican writer, Fernando del Paso Morante.
Today, Queen Letizia repeated the exact outfit she wore to last year's National Day parade, recycling each piece from head-to-toe.
The ensemble consists of a royal blue dress and jacket combination by Felipe Varela.
She teamed the set with midnight blue patent pumps from Magrit, and Felipe Varela ocean blue leather clutch.
Her Majesty completed the look with her dazzling Aldao aquamarine teardrop earrings.
It was a busy day for the Queen of Spain. In the morning she joined her husband at Zarzuela Palace for an audience with Javier Fernandez. The Spanish athlete won a gold medal at the 2016 Figure Skating World Championships held in Boston.
In the afternoon, Their Majesties moved to the Royal Palace of Madrid to host the annual pre-ceremony lunch of the 'Miguel de Cervantes' award.
For both events, Queen Letizia opted to recycle her red Carolina Herrera stretch-wool peplum dress. The dress made it's debut in October last year at the World Food Day ceremony in Milan.
Her Majesty accessorized the dress with red pumps which she's had since 2008. There are mixed opinions on whether the shoes are by Hugo Boss of Felipe Varela.
She finished the look with her TOUS gold long dangle shell earrings.

Today, the King and Queen of Spain chaired a meeting of the National Commission for the commemoration of the fourth centenary of the death of Miguel de Cervantes. The Spanish novelist, poet and playwright is best known for his satirical novel, Don Quixote.
As honorary presidents of the National Commission, their Majesties were presented with an overview of the promotion and coordination of events for the commemoration of this anniversary to be carried out by public authorities, private entities and individuals.
The Spanish queen opted for a chic corporate look, pairing a white blazer with black straight leg trousers.
It was the third time Letizia has worn the peplum style blazer by her signature designer, Felipe Varela. However, on each occasion she has styled it differently and adapted it to suit the occasion. When she debuted it during a visit to Washington DC, Letizia wore it over a coordinated black and white floral dress by the same design house. In January this year, she wore it with a black Felipe Varela maxi length dress for the traditional Pascua Militar celebration. Today, she opted for the simplicity of black trousers by Hugo Boss.
She accessorized with Magrit 'Mila' black leather pumps and her TOUS cultured freshwater pearl drop earrings.
