The Spanish royal family are now in Palma, Mallorca for their annual summer holiday. Tonight, the extended royal unit were photographed having dinner at Flanigan Restaurante. Here we see them leaving the waterfront establishment.

While most of the family was dressed casually, Queen Letizia opted for a more sophisticated evening style.

It's clear Her Majesty leaves behind a summer wardrobe at the Palma palace because for her first night on the island she wore a mix of pieces she debuted the last time she holidayed in Palma. Tonight Letizia combined her black silk pants with her sleeveless sequin top. Both garments remain unidentified.

On Letizia's feet were the bespoke Magrit sandals based on the 'Delia' model.

She supplemented the look with a new black flap clutch bag and gold-tone hoop earrings.

The earrings are by Mango and currently discounted to US$5.99!

It's difficult to ID the bag without the aid of better resolution photos. The silhouette is very similar to the one below by Carolina Herrera. But this design is very common so I'm not confident on the ID.

ID UPDATE (26/10/2016) - Queen Letizia carried the bag to a conference in Madrid and we have better photos that confirm the clutch is by CH Carolina Herrera. It is the 'Astrud' model from the designer's Spring 2015 'Samba' collection.

I originally thought they were the Oscar de la Renta gold leaf clip earrings, but Spanish jeweler My Collect claimed she was wearing their 'Leaving Gold' earrings.

Hoy estamos felices felices! Y es que nuestros (y vuestros) queridos #leavinggold tienen una dueña con la que nunca nos habíamos atrevido ni siquiera a soñar. Es una emoción enorme para nosotras que se haya fijado en @my_collect y poder contarla entre nuestras clientas.

A video posted by My Collect (@my_collect) on Jul 28, 2016 at 4:56am PDT

The design is a knock-off of the Oscar de la Renta silhouette, but the obvious difference is their size. The My Collect pair measure about 4.5 cm in length (consistent with Letizia's earrings), whereas the Oscar de la Renta pair are over two times as long.

Queen Letizia presented the 3rd edition of the Spain-India Council Foundation awards this afternoon. The ceremony was held at the Archeological Museum in Spain's capital, Madrid.

The Spain-India Council Foundation is a private cultural foundation founded in 2009 with the support of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation. It works to promote relationships of mutual interest between Spain and India. The awards recognize the work of persons or entities who have made exceptional contributions to the bilateral relations between the two nations.

This year's prize was awarded jointly to filmmakers Carlos Saura and Zoya Akhtar.

Queen Letizia kept her sartorial choice simple for today's prestigious event. She wore a new bespoke number by her go-to designer Felipe Varela.

Embed from Getty Images

The sleeveless sheath dress is rendered from white raffia fabric, an elegant choice for summer.

Embed from Getty Images

Letizia accessorized with her white Uterque croc-embossed clutch bag and a new pair of snake-printed pumps.

At first glance, I thought the heels were her Carolina Herrera python pumps, but then eagle-eyed @HeavenQRF brought the following images to my attention:

From the photos above, it's obvious the pumps are not Carolina Herrera. They show all the hallmarks of Magrit design and are a bespoke version of these 'Mila' pumps - a model Letizia owns in a slew of different colours and materials.

Letizia's affinity for oversized earrings continued today with the addition of a new pair of cascading flower earrings. The pretty enameled earrings helped add interest to her minimalist ensemble.

The enamel line earrings are by Florence-based upscale jewellery brand SCHIELD. Letizia wears the 'Cyborg Flowers' earrings (€ 420). They are made from brass and plated with palladium and white enamel. The earrings feature Swarovski Elements crystals and a pearl centre.

The earrings are a designer debut by SCHIELD in Letizia jewelry collection. The label was founded by Roberto Ferlito, a designer who boasts experience working for the likes of Roberto Cavalli. Featuring a medley of unconventional motifs, SCHIELD jewellery balances the use of precious materials with eccentric and fun style.

She pulled out a tweed Felipe Varela blazer that had been hiding in her closet for nearly 4 years.

Letizia first wore it for a visit to Valencia in April 2012, and we saw it again at a military event in October of the same year.

It's hard to say for certain, but it appears Letizia teamed the jacket with her Hugo Boss 'Valeti' natural white pencil skirt which she also wore yesterday.
