On Day 2 of the Princess of Asturias Awards, the King and Queen of Spain began their day at the Reconquista Hotel in Oviedo where they met with the the 2015 Princess of Asturias Award laureates.
For this morning's event, Her majesty repeated the Carolina Herrera red split-neck dress which she premiered earlier this month at the officially opening of the 2015/2016 Vocational Training courses.
On her feet were the Lodi 'Sara' burgundy/black pumps (sold out).
And we got a glimpse of her Ruby cabochon dangle earrings (unidentified).

That evening, Their Majesties presided over the annual Princess of Asturias awards ceremony held at the Campoamor Theater in Oviedo.They were joined on the blue carpet by King Felipe's mother, Queen Sofia.
Once inside the theater, Felipe and Letizia took their places at the head table to deliver the awards, while Sofia went to the Royal Box.
This event is one of the most anticipated on the Spanish royal calendar and we are always intrigued to see what Queen Letizia will wear to this annual gala. Tonight, she did not disappoint, premiering a tiered Felipe Varela number.
The bespoke dress is made from black silk cady fabric and features an asymmetric ruffled skirt with an ombre effect. The silhouette is reminiscent of a Spanish flamenco dress.
The dress in itself was remarkable, but Her Majesty's choice of jewelry topped it off! Tonight Queen Letizia wore a beautiful choker pearl necklace. Casa Real confirms the piece is NOT the Joyas de Pasar 37 pearl necklace, however they did not mention the provenance of this piece.
Here's a closer look at the back of the necklace.

ID UPDATE - January 2019:
It's possible the stud earrings originate from the Prince Dimitri Polar Star earrings.
It's possible the stud earrings originate from the Prince Dimitri Polar Star earrings.
Prince Dimitri of Yugoslavia confirmed that the then-Prince Felipe had bought the earrings in 2004 from his store in New York when he visited the USA in October. Letizia first wore them publicly in 2007 to the 40th birthday reception for the then-Prince Prince Willem Alexander Of Holland. She again wore them for the 70th birthday celebration of King Juan Carlos in January 2008.
I have edited and inverted the stock image of the Polar Star earrings to show that they look like a match!
Rounding off Queen Letizia's impeccable ensemble were her Magrit 'Mila' black patent pointed toe pumps and a black satin clutch.
