The Spanish royal family attended National Day celebrations today.
The patriotic commemoration marks the anniversary of Christopher Columbus's arrival into the Americas on 12th October 1492, also known as Columbus Day in the United States.
King Felipe and Queen Letizia were accompanied by their daughters, Princess Leonor and Infant Sofia to preside over the traditional military parade in Madrid.
The young royals wore matching style coats from their mum's favorite American-based designer, Carolina Herrera.
Despite the rain, the family clearly enjoyed the national holiday.
Following the parade, the royal couple hosted a reception at the Royal Palace where they had invited diplomats and Spanish dignitaries.
As expected, Queen Letizia premiered a new bespoke design from her go-to couturier Felipe Varela.

She wore an off-white tweed coat-dress from the Spanish designer featuring a black beaded floral motif. The style is reminiscent of many of Letizia's dresses over the past few seasons.
Her Majesty accessorized the piece with a new clutch bag and shoes.
The natural toned pumps are by Magrit and appear to have a slub effect.

Unfortunately I have not come across hi-resolution photos of the over-sized clutch bag, but that too appears to be made from the same fabric as the shoes.
ID UPDATE (13/10/2016) - Magrit have confirmed that the bag is their design.

Letizia finished the look with her white gold bezel set diamond and Australian pearl earrings.

For this patriotic event, Queen Letizia has consistently favored tailored designs by Felipe Varela. In 2010 she branched out and wore a relaxed pant and shawl ensemble. Letizia's smart casual approach didn't go down too well with everyone, and she has since rectified her faux pas in subsequent years.
