The King and Queen of Spain attended the prestigious 'Miguel de Cervantes' Award ceremony on Monday. The annual event is held at the University of Alcalá in the town of Alcalá de Henares - the birthplace of Spain's greatest writer, Miguel de Cervantes who is best known for his masterpiece, Don Quixote.
The prize is one of the most regarded literary awards in Spain and Latin America, and is granted annually to honour the lifetime achievement of an eminent writer in the Spanish language. This year, the Cervantes 2017 Prize was awarded to the Nicaraguan writer Sergio Ramírez.
Queen Letizia looked pretty in pink today wearing a bespoke Felipe Varela creation. Her Majesty first wore the coordinating dress and brocade trimmed topper for a ceremonial flag presentation in June 2016.
She again accessorized the ensemble with her much loved Yanes flower blossom stud earrings.
Letizia complemented the set with her tonal pink Felipe Valera suede clutch and nude LODI 'Saray' leather pumps.
Today's sartorial decision to opt for a Felipe Verela repeat is consistent with previous years. Here's a look back at her past looks for this annual ceremony since she become Queen consort. What did you think of this year's outfit?
I'll conclude with some lighthearted moments from the event.

I love this outfit, very spring-like and appropriate to the event.

This coat/dress ensemble is a much better design than the Varela creation Letizia wore yesterday. It has much more subtle details and the scallop edging at the closure is an interesting idea. The colour is a little dull but overall I like the outfit especially the shoes.

I'm not keen on the earrings, but love everything else. The ensemble is not fashion forward, but it makes Letizia look elegant and feminine, it is nicely tailored and perfect for a special spring event.

And here I thought "mother-of-the-bride" round two and I don't mean that in a negative way. More like a yes, that's what I would wear to a wedding.

What a surprise! Not so different from yesterday in concept but it looks much more modern and flattering. The lines of that topper are really attractive.

In Spain, in general, people don't like Varela too much. Too many ruffles, brocade, guipur , etc..

I love this coat, feminine and regal all at once and a lovely cut and line on Letizia. The brocade works so well among the military outfits and the scalloped hem on the coat is all of a piece with the formality without being over-the-top. A classic Verela piece.
