The skirt suit, worn by Her Majesty, is a bespoke design by Carolina Herrera. It features a peplum jacket with covered buttons down the centre front and tonal embroidery extending down from the neckline. It is complemented with a matching midi pencil skirt.

I thought this suit was Felipe Varela. It looks like something Kate, the Princess of Wales would wear. It's a bit fussy with the embroidered bodice and flared peplum blazer but the colour is striking and vibrant especially for the rainy weather. The outfit is appropriate considering the significance of the ceremony. The straw hat with the pink netting is unusual.

The suit that Letizia is wearing is absolutely stunning. I like the colour, the detailing of the peplum, the self covered buttons and loops and especially the embroidery work on the jacket. The fact that the shoes and purse are a perfect colour match is a huge bonus. What I don't care for is the hat. It swamps Letizia and reminds me of a Chinese coolie hat, a lampshade, or a mushroom cap. I do wish she had worn a hat that was more restrained and smaller.

The spring pink ensemble is just stunning on Letizia.She always manages the appropriate juxtaposition between the classic and the edgy. Who will forget this look for the coronation. Can’t wait to hear Bertie’s opinion

The color of this suit is divine. Such a beautiful outfit, chic and stylish. The Queen looked very elegant. Well-coordinated, the accessories were perfect.
The diamond earrings utterly beautiful.

This is superb tailoring from Caroline Herrera for this major historic event. I swear the work on the detailing makes it more regal than her own outfit on the day she and Felipe took the throne. The tonal embroidery and covered buttons are quietly ornate and stunning.

The peplum with long skirt is unusual for Letzia, but has vintage character and appeal. Letizia has been savvy in lightening the effect of the plain skirt by wearing the Herrera slingbacks

The Scala clutch is brilliantly matched, its box shape in keeping with the formality of the occasion, and the beige gloves echoing the tone of the hat gently break up the monochrome.

In my view the hat is the absolute star of the show. The glorious oversized bell shape balances out the bulk of the peplum and gives finish to the elongated look of the outfit. The pink overlay netting is genius, tying the whole ensemble together.A stunning, stylish, and memorable outfit.

The most striking thing about this outfit is how prettily and unusually the hat frames QL's face. It's perfection. The colour of the suit is lovely, the jacket a tad busy, but overall a gorgeous outfit

Absolutely stunning! The hat I like, but in my opinion, I do not think it was quite fitting for the occasion.

The suit and hat are amazing. I really dislike this colour but the more I look at the photos, the look is growing on me. I would've thought the longer skirt and the busyness of the top would overwhelm her but they don't. This suit is brilliantly proportioned and cut. In my imagination, it is a nice cool-toned shade of yellow.
