It is the Bottega Veneta's iconic 'Knot' clutch  (US$2,200).  It features the classic intreccio Impero weave against a snakeskin trim, as well as the knotted top clasp made from the label's signature "Brunito" gunmetal-tone hardware. The bag is available from Bottega Veneta, and My Theresea.

FASHION FLASHBACK
Queen Letizia has favored a dark palette for this event since 2004. For her first attendance as a newly crowned princess, Letizia wore a brown brocade coat. From 2005 it has become somewhat of tradition for Letizia to wear black to this awards ceremony. She was absent in 2006 having just given birth to her first child, Leonor. Last year she surprised us with a Teresa Helbig white flapper-style dress. This year it was back to black. Do you have a favourite look?

Welcome back Elizabeth & Alessandra! It feels so good being able to comment on this blog once again. I have had so much fun over the past year. I feel as though we have a special community here.

As for Letizia's outfit, I think she looks great here. Her hair and makeup are exquisite and she looks beautiful. The hoop earrings are really nice. I love how the white wave detail on the hip of the dress is enhanced by the black & white shoes. However, I am rather conservative and find the neckline of the dress too revealing for a Queen. I don't think I've ever seen Letizia wear something so revealing. It's too Hollywood in my opinion even though times are changing.

Oh dear, I was thinking how well the neckline had been done! I thought it's low enough to be sexy but not cheap and I love it!! But it is such fun to be able to debate the matter here again - so very civilised :)+

Hey Bertie, thanks for your feedback But,that is the problem I have with the neckline- that it is "sexy". I don't think a Queen should be "sexy". But I respect your opinion and that is why we are here to exchange ideas in a friendly and constructive way.

I am so glad that you are back! :)
And just like Sandy said, it's like a little community here. It is so nice to exchange opinions with you guys.
Letizia looks wonderful and so elegant. I remember the least year's look and how surprising it was. ;)

Oh this is pure heaven to have Letizia back on track with her own proper blog. And she’s looking so gorgeous! Love the dress though the white stripe is a tad Nike-like, but passing quickly over that it’s a super elegant look and the Herrera shaping of the A-line is masterly as ever. It was nothing short of genius to find the complementary two-tone pumps as well. Her hair is fantastic, which is something as I don’t always like her wavier styles, the clutch is lovely with its contrast texture and the earrings are sensational. Thank you thank you thank you Alessandra and Elizabeth!! I love the fashion flashback – brilliantly done, though I hope and pray we have seen the last of that white tiered flapper dress 0_0

I agree with what's mentioned already. The cut out detail at the waist matching the shoes white detail. Unique. That pic of her beside the earrings. She's radiant.

Have I said thank you yet for bringing back the QL blog!?

Thank you!!!

This is a bit late, but I was perplexed by the statements that the cleavage is sexy and a queen should not be sexy. That statement was made by the press to create headlines. This is one woman who can 'bring it' without any effort. The antidote is the ugly red outfit she wore the next day with matronly hair, a flat affect and eyes that looked like marble, as if she had indeed been chastised. The neck to ankles black of the day after that was also in the same line. That is not who she is and it shows. It's like asking a beautiful bird to tone down its plumage.. We have seen some strapless dresses on others that show waaay more cleavage not to mention the portraits from previous centuries but the word sexy had not been attached to them...
