This dress was spectacular the first time we saw it and it continues to look fashion forward. The gold flowers are stunning against the black and are enhanced by the gold shoes, clutch and wonderfully coordinated earrings. Letizia looks both regal and very stylish

This is a beautiful dress and nice design and fit. Its great to see the rewear. I do prefer the original wear, Letizia's hair was shorter, looked gorgeous and different earrings, they were beautiful. Her shoes at the time were strappy, I loved them. Understand why she doesn't wear the heels now. But overall presentation was just much better imo.

I love this dress on Letizia and am so glad to see it come out for another airing. She looks so well in a fitted sheath style and Dries Van Noten can be relied on for excellent tailoring.

The gold embellishment is brilliant and striking, especially on its black background, taking up as much space as it wants for flowers, stems, and leaves, while the whole is kept within the classic dress frame. The little cap sleeves are so elegant and unobtrusive, the length of the hem so elegant.

Gold accessories seem natural in the form of the sleek Magrit clutch and summery slingbacks. I agree the gold Carolina Herrera Jasmine earrings are the perfect finishing touch, completing the gold coloured floral theme.
