Queen Letizia in Antik Batik For Day of Audiences

23/7/2026

On Thursday, Queen Letizia hosted audiences at Zarzuela Palace.

She first received the creative team and protagonists of the documentary The Grandchildren of Silence, an audiovisual project produced by young journalists and communicators that brings together the testimonies of the grandsons and granddaughters of victims of ETA terrorism.

She then met with representatives from the BBVA Microfinance Foundation (FMBBVA) and a group of scholarship recipients, who shared how the scholarships are helping them continue their education and pursue careers in fields including education, engineering, healthcare, and technology.

For the day's audiences, Queen Letizia brought back her navy Antik Batik 'Dalli' Embroidered Maxi Dress, first worn at the Women, Sport and Society colloquium in September 2025.

On her feet were her recently acquired Calzados Picon Black Espadrille Wedges.

Hi Penny,

The Lea is an older style where the ankle wrap starts from the vamp rather than the heel, as it does on this newer style. It's a bit confusing—I initially thought they were the Leo style too until I noticed the position of the tie. I hope that clears things up!

Hi Elizabeth,

I thought they were that new shoe model because I saw a photo of Letizia from that event on their InstaStories, and then they posted that specific model with a link in a subsequent story, so I assumed it was the new one.

Thank goodness you run this blog—you really need a sharp eye to spot details like that.

Thanks for the explanation.

Best wishes ❤️

Its fabulous to see a rewear of this Navy embroidered dress. The skirt has nice movement in the skirt of the dress. The nicely added white embroidered pieces at the shoulder add interest to this dress as is the white piping of the armpits, nice feature.
I prefer the black wedges as opposed to the white last wear.
I love these earrings, they are gorgeous.

I was no fan of this Antik Batik dress the first time it was worn and haven't changed my opinion in the meantime. Obviously it works well in a work context, it is a sober colour with only discreet embellishment, it is just a problem for me that I grew tired of tiered skirts when I first saw them back in the 1970s and am not inclined to welcome their return no matter how popular they are this time. I can at least remember the fun of wearing them so understand them catching on again now.

The black espadrilles work well with the outfit, particularly because the ankle straps are largely hidden under the midi skirt and just the neat toe front shows clearly. The Isabel Guarch earrings are perfect with this outfit, neatly reflecting the artisanal style embellishment on the dress.
