This evening the King and Queen of Spain attended the 50th anniversary celebration of the Spanish sports newspaper, AS.
Their Majesties presented awards to Spain's top sportsmen and women at the gala event held at City Hall in Madrid.
Queen Letizia surprised us by debuting a new frock from Delpozo. This is the first piece she has worn by the Spanish heritage label. Founded by fashion designer Jesús del Pozo in 1974, the fashion house was renamed Delpozo, with Josep Font as its Creative Director, following the death of del Pozo in 2011. Today, it’s a key show at New York fashion week, where the label has become known for its feminine DNA, bold use of colour and architectural shapes, born out of the couture-like approach Font applies to his collections.
Spanish fashionistas and royal style watchers have long wondered when or if the Queen of Spain would don a piece by Delpozo. Tonight she put that to rest when she stepped out in a gorgeous insignia blue cocktail dress by the fashion house.
The dress is defined by a 3D rosette detail at the bodice and features an off-the-shoulder neckline, three quarter length sleeves, and a pencil midi skirt. It is from the Pre-Fall 2017 collection and retails for US$2,750. It is currently on sale at these retailers: Bergdorf Goodman ($1,650), Saks Fifth Avenue ($1,650), Farfetch ($1,650), Moda Operandi ($2,393), By Symphony ($2,909), Italist (€1599).
Completing the look were her Chanel 'Plume' earrings.
I hope Delpozo becomes a staple part of Queen Letizia's wardrobe because the luxury prêt-à-couture fashion brand offers a wonderful collection of bold yet feminine designs.

Not an easy to wear dress, but she pulls it off beautifully. Love her hair, shoes, earrings. Very pretty.

Finally............. a DelPozo dress.............. 😥 Now, all I have to do is wait for some Louboutins, Manolos; a Louis Vuitton or a 2.55 Chanel or even a Lady Dior bag......... 😥

I love the whole outfit. At first I was a bit unsure about the swirl of fabric on the shoulder. But now I think it adds interest and originality to what might have been a boring dress. Lovely shoes but I wish Letizia would wear more jewelry. The midnight blue colour needs some contrast with a necklace perhaps.

This doesn't quite work for me, the rose shape is too bulky, the skirt a shade too long and Letizia's hair low over her ears all contribute to an undertone of heaviness. The waist is not flattering with such a relatively stiff fabric being gathered and just bulging out. Delighted to meet a new label at Delpozo,l I find the overall conception accomplished but just not quite carried off here.
