Queen Letizia debuts pink blazer dress for Armed Forces Day

29/5/2021

The King and Queen of Spain marked Armed Forces Day with events at the Plaza de la Lealtad in Madrid.

The annual occasion honours men and women who serve/served in the Spanish armed forces.

Queen Letizia debuted a new pink coat dress for today's military event. Hitting below the knee, the double-breasted button front design also features a notched lapel collar and flap pockets at the hip. The designer of the tailored piece is unknown.

This is a beautiful pink coat dress. In some photos I saw elsewhere, I thought the fit may have been a bit off, but these photos to me, it looks great. The colour of the accessories are fabulous, usually I love contrasts, but the Queen has proved me wrong, this looks fabulous. The earrings are stunning. The Fashion flashbacks I cannot pick a favorite, each ensemble look amazing.

I adore coat dresses but I think this one is a couple of sizes too big for Letizia. It's a bit loose on the waist and hips. The light pink colour is fine but I don't like the bubblegum shoes. An ivory or bone colour shoe would provide some contrast and look a lot smarter.

An iconic menswear staple has been transformed into feminine elegance - the Queen looks beautiful. The double-breasted blazer dress skims Letizia's figure, while the darting and clever side panels define the waist. Low button placement elongates the silhouette and prevents any unfortunate positioning on the chest, which I have seen on both designer and high street garments. Magrit's bubblegum pink accessories are fun and keep the ensemble from appearing too prim. I'm delighted to see the gorgeous Tous earrings repeated, the chrysoprases add some contrast and pop against the tones of pink. Minor quibble, in some of the photographs on Getty (it may have just been the light), the fabric didn't move as nicely as it should. A heavier material such as lined crepe, along with a back vent may have fallen more luxuriously during motion.

I forgot to add that the monochrome blazer from 2016 was my favourite past look. Although, I wish the blazer met across the chest so that a top underneath wasn't necessary. The blazer could look superb styled with black slim-leg trousers with crisp creases and black accessories. I'm a fan of First Lady Brigitte Macron's minimalist style, here is an image of her looking impeccable in a monochrome Louis Vuitton blazer and black slim-leg trousers.

This is a beautiful classic coat, expertly tailored, though looking a shade loose on Leitizia, with the sleeves a touch long. Perhaps she has lost a little weight.

I like how low the collar reveres come before the covered buttons start their double breasted progress to below the pocket flaps. Even the pockets look to be angled low, the effect is very elegant.

The Magrit pumps and clutch are a lovely strong shade of pink to add verve to the outfit. The Tous earrings look to be trying to do something similar, they are very lovely, especially with Letizia's hair swept back, but I can'at help finding the flash of green on the drop a bit random rather than original.
