She repeated a floral green Carolina Herrera dress she first wore on Day 1 of the State visit to Japan in April and again for a State lunch with the Costa Rican president in May.
Like previous occasions, Letizia coordinated the dress with her Magrit 'Gabriela' bag and matching D'Orsay pumps (a bespoke version of the brand's 'Alicia' style).

Today she accessorized with her amethyst drop earrings featuring green gemstone accents.

The origin of the earrings is unclear. They were first thought to be the Pomellato Bahia drop earrings however the prong settings and position of the green stones is different to Letizia's earrings and the brand denied ownership of the design. There is an Etsy store that has the exact design of Letizia's earrings which they claim is based on a Pomellato design. I contacted Pomellato and they confirmed that Letizia must be wearing a copy.
Tomorrow Queen Letizia will move to the Ziguinchor Region of Senegal to visit the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Assane Seck and later the agroecological farms of Naatangué in Casamance.
