Tonight, the Peruvian president and his wife reciprocated last night's gala dinner by hosting a reception at the Royal Palace of El Pardo. This was their final night in Spain before returning to Peru.

The cocktail reception was modest compared to last night's stately banquet. Queen Letizia dressed accordingly and repeated a Felipe Varela little black dress she debuted in September 2013 and wore again in 2014.

18 Nov 2013 - Miama, Florida USA

5 Sep 2014 - Museo Picasso Málaga

What I love most about this otherwise simple satin sheath dress, is the daring sheer tulle back, beautifully adorned with jet beads in floral motifs.

This evening, Queen Letizia styled the dress with her Hugo Boss Erica-V clutch and Prada black Saffiano print patent leather pointy toe pumps.

She wore cascading diamond earrings, first worn at the Prince of Asturias Awards in 2014, and her Cartier column bracelet.
