Letizia added another colour to her ever growing 'Leonor' collection by Spanish shoemaker Magrit. Today, she wore the 'Leonor' pumps in a bespoke blue suede, a tone which matched her outfit. This style has been customised with a concealed platform. The modified design is identical of the pair she wore during the Proclamation ceremony.

King Felipe and Queen Letizia travelled by commuter train to Valladolid to attend the ceremony for the National Innovation and Design Awards 2013.

They were greeted by a large crowd upon arrival at Valladolid-Campo Grande station. Their Majesties were delighted with the warm welcome they received and made time to greet the public.

At the ceremony, King Felipe delivered a speech outlining the importance of innovation for the growth of Spain's economy. The royal couple then jointly delivered awards to winners from a variety of categories within innovation and design. Here they are posing with this year's award recipients.

For today's engagement, Queen Letizia adopted a smart casual look, pairing a beige tribal pencil skirt with a vibrant cardigan. The skirt is by Spanish brand Isato, labelled the 'Naska'. It is from their S/S 2014 collection. The skirt is made from supple lambskin leather with an Aztec inspired front panel. It retails for 349 euros.

The bold tangerine red cardigan coordinated perfectly with the skirt. The sweater cardigan features a crew neck, textured knit and trimmed button placket.

There is no official ID on the cardigan, some sources believe it may be Mango, but I think the cardigan shares elements of these two Hugo Boss styles, a label Doña Letizia is fond of.

Letizia completed the outfit with her Ángel Schlesser croc embossed orange clutch and her Magrit taupe suede pumps.

Here's a closer look at Letizia's diamond halo earrings which she has worn previously.
