​They interrupted their tranquil 
summer vacation in the seaside city of Palma de Mallorca to host 450 guests from the Balearic community, including politicians, academics, welfare groups and sports personalities.

Their Majesties were joined by Felipe's mother, Queen Sofia. She looked beautiful in a black floral printed maxi dress.

Queen Letizia also wore a floral dress, but she opted for a short sheath silhouette and cream hue to highlight her summer glow.

The fitted dress has an all-over floral embroidered pattern with cap sleeves and a bateau neckline. It appears to be shirred on the left waist. The dress is reportedly a bespoke piece by Juan Duyos, and made from a manton de Manila. Manila shawls are an integral part of Spanish culture and this is a clever conversion by the Spanish designer.

Tonight's ensemble was in keeping with last year's feminine style. However, Letizia's outfit choices for this annual event has been varied over the years. Here's a recollection of Letizia's past looks for the Balearic Islands reception:

The dress is by Juan Duyos (one of the brands Letizia visited with her stylist back in March). It has been confirmed by the designer's press agent

It's a beautiful print and a sheath is a wonderful style on Letizia. Just not sure that these prints on a pale background look best on her, she can seem a little washed out.

Just beautiful! Love the dress and shoes. Love the mix/match of the shoe and purse colors, as they compliment the dress.

Hello. This look is so romantic. The dress flawless, the hairdo is simple yet dramatic, the shoes ... I'm not sure but it works. A word for Queen Sofia, such an elegant lady, regal yet kind and a close person. Since Diana one of the most approachable royals? Maybe I am overstating but she is an example, really.

Yes, queen Sofia looked beautiful. She is serving the country since more than four decades. She was and still is an excellent ambassadress of Spain. A noble and charismatic woman. She is my favourite Royal since I saw a picture of her taken at Marivent Palace back in 1983.
