FASHION FLASHBACK
I think it's safe to say that Queen Letizia has a penchant for baby blue this season! Since April, we have seen her introduce four new pieces rendered in a soft blue hue including the trousers worn today.

It is funny that you call that colour "baby blue" and in Spain it is called "azul cielo" or "celeste" ( sky blue)....🤔, nothing related with babies...

Simone, Baby blue comes from the fact that babies are usually dressed in pastel colours, not colours such as navy, red, mustard, black. The stereotype is that baby girls wear pastel pink and baby boys wear pastel blue. Hence the term "baby blue."

Thanks Laura for your explanation! She is receiving journalists and then children from a school in Málaga, I think it is aprropiate.

While I think Letizia looks wonderful, I do question if this outfit is too causal from the occasion. The men are wearing suits, shirts and ties, the other women are more formally dressed. The event is held in a palace. I tend to equate cotton pants, especially light coloured, cropped ones, as being quite a casual look. The blouse and shoes are more dressy, but the pants look like something I'd wear to a picnic, or BBQ.

Not really, it is an "audience",( she recieves people), they are into a room in Zarzuela palace, but they are not formal, she usually wears trousers ....Men always wear suits, they have other clothes.Moreover, she is the Queen, she sets the protocol, so you should think in any case that people is overdressed, which some people tend to do.

This is a lovely, cool summer look. I love the cropped pants which are perfect for hot weather in that cool ice blue shade. The blouse is also an interesting piece with the 3/4 length sleeves and pleated front. It ties in nicely with the tapered pant leg. Pale blue or light blue must be a trend this Spring/Summer as I had also noticed Letizia wearing several new items in that shade.

Yay! I get so happy when Letizia digs into her archive. This blouse is one of my favorites!

Looks like baby blue must be Letizia's new monochrome. Given how much black-and-white she was doing before I had thought she must simply go through her preferred designers and search on those colours and pick outfits accordingly. Maybe the search colour got changed! Here it looks really fresh and lovely, so summery. The Boss pants are heaven, crops which finish at an elegant length so the advantage of a short leg is achieved without looking unbalanced. The blouse with its subdued pleating is a lovely complement, the cream and blue being gentle, there's a casual, approachable feel to the outfit while Letizia remains immaculate and elegant. Love it.

Thank you for the tonal recap; I had completely missed the June post and that skirt is fabulous. That whole June 3 ensemble was perfect.

Back to the topic at hand. Today's ensemble is fine and stylish but I could do without the peplum or cropped trends. They create a less optimal silhouette beside the three other blue ones from the season. This is a mere observation, not a criticism. Just saw a photo of myself in a wide-legged cropped pant with a boxy top. On trend, comfortable, appropriate to the occasion but underwhelming.

This is such an elegant summery look, the Queen looks really lovely! This blouse is a favourite of mine, it's so feminine and delicate with the light fabric, nipped in waist, pleated front and three quarter length sleeves. The sophisticated loose cut of the trousers in the soft blue is gorgeous, their length is perfect too. Although we often see the Bvlgari hoops they are always a delight and elevate a look further. I don't think that there was a massive amount of handshaking involved today so a simple silver bangle would have been a welcome addition. I've liked all of the blue outfits in the fashion flashback, for me, they are some of her strongest looks of the year. Classic pieces which look modern which were well styled with complementary accessories. There are so many good colour combinations for sky blue such as orange, red, pink... it will be interesting to see some of these pieces restyled over the summer months.
