23/12/2014

Queen Letizia looked festive in an all red ensemble for her last public event of the year. She joined her husband, King Felipe at the Palace of El Pardo to welcome the Permanent Council and Council of the Greatness of Spain, an advisory body of the state administration which brings together about 300 grandees of Spain.

Letizia opted for red, one of her favorite colors, to close this year's royal duties. The shirt-style wool crepe dress was designed by Felipe Varela and is embellished with floral embroidery. Her Majesty debuted the dress on her recent visit to Holland.

Later, Their Majesties held a meeting with the Board of Directors of National Heritage.

Letizia color coordinated the dress with her red leather almond toe pumps and ruby drop earrings.

Queen Letizia shows off new hair style at foundation name change

On Friday, Their Majesties chaired a board meeting of the Principe de Girona Foundation at the Royal Palace of Madrid. The foundation is named for a title once held by Felipe, the Prince of Girona, which is traditionally conferred upon Spanish royal heirs. Following Felipe's accession to the throne in June, the title passed to his eldest daughter, Infanta Leonor. At today's meeting, the board officially renamed it the Princess of Girona Foundation to reflect the title now held by Leonor, Princess of Asturias.

Queen Letizia sported noticeably shorter locks at today's meeting. I think the semi-bob is a flattering look on Letizia and frames her face beautifully.

There were however no new additions to her wardrobe.

Queen Letzia recycled her well worn Hugo BOSS Hugo Boss 'Dinoma' ink-blot dress.

She typically cordinates the dress with a black cardigan or blazer and today was no exception, pairing the dress with her BOSS Fashion Show 'FS_Jesila' blazer (£630).

She accessorized with her Felipe Varela black chevron quilted clutch and Carolina Herrera black patent/suede pumps.

Her majesty wore a robe-style navy wool coat which is reportedly by Hugo Boss, but I have not been able to find this style in their current collection. The coat features a notched lapel collar, belted tie waist, front flap pockets, and buttons near the cuffs

Under her coat she recycled the outfit she wore to the 25th Anniversary Ceremony of the Spanish National Transplant Organization in October this year.

The ensemble consists of the Carolina Herrera fuchsia geometric silk print blouse, Hugo Boss 'Jetala' blazer and matching 'Taru' trouser (shown below in grey).

Today, Queen Letizia carried a men's style bag; the Hugo Boss 'Norrmalm' business bag (£450).

The bag description from Hugo Boss:

Elegant business bag by BOSS in soft, tanned leather. The main compartment provides plenty of room, and can be securely fastened with a zip. Inside, the business bag also provides a zip compartment, a padded laptop compartment and an organizer. The bag can be carried conveniently and comfortably, thanks to the 2 handles and a removable and adjustable shoulder strap.

On her feet were the Magrit pewter leather pumps, first worn in September this year to the Climate Summit in New York.

She briefly wore her Ray-Bay aviator sunglasses which appear to have a grey lens gradient (US$160).

She finished the outfit with her Chanel 'Comète' stud earrings.
