This is a beautiful dress. The lace is not too heavy, but the colour of the dress is really lovely. The sling back red pumps are gorgeous and offset dusty pink clutch I think is spot on. Ruby dangle earrings are perfect.

These are such elegant slingbacks, I am pleased to see that the Queen has bought the red version, she has got good mileage out of the other colours. Most royal ladies have a standard suede court in multiple shades and these are a stylish take on the traditional pump. This is a great look! the dress and shoes look fabulous together and match perfectly. Despite the dress' complete covering of striped textures, the bell shape looks light and hangs beautifully. I actually prefer the dress with the red slip/lining (in the look book it's nude) it adds depth, the lace appears richer and the look is more consistent overall. The unlined shoulders add a touch of delicacy at the neck, it also gives pause in the top half creating an airiness. Minor quibbles, I find this Magrit clutch a little bland and big against the dress and while the Aldao Joyeros earrings are a graceful choice they have been worn twice before with the dress. I would have preferred gold accessories. The Carolina Herrera Metropolitan Insignia clutch and the almond flower gold earrings by Helena Nicolau might have paired well, with her hair styled up. Minus the clutch (which she mostly went without) this is a strong re-wear!

Jennifer, totally agree with everything you said. I think the nude slip was replaced as Leticia wanted to avoid the nude effect, and it worked very well!

QL looks gorgeous. Red, red, red. If only with her red clutch, would have been perfect.

Beautiful! This is a dress that worths to be reworn. Great combination- earrings, clutch and shoes. Gorgeous shoes by the way!

This is such a beautiful dress. The layering of lace with solid fabric creates a very unique and interesting look. The style is elegant, romantic and graceful and reminds me of the clothes worn by Hollywood movie stars back in the 1940's and '50's. The red shoes are lovely and I'm glad she chose white clutch to avoid the outfut being too monochrome.

I must correct my comment "I'm glad she chose the dusty pink clutch...". It's not white.

This is a very pretty dress and I like the way the lace is in panels, broken up by solid pieces. I much prefer the red shoes that match the dress than the nude shoes worn previously. I would have liked the purse to also be red. The earrings are perfect.

I don't like the shoes. I never like the red shoes. Gorgeous dress and I much prefer it with the nude shoes. And I agree with Jennifer about the red lining looking best. I'm digging the blush clutch with the ensemble too.

This Herrera is a terrific re-wear for Letizia, skilfully managing the fussiness and prettiness of lace within a sleek look. The bodice fit is lovely and the skirt has a pleasing fullness without overdoing things. The CH slingbacks look terrific in red, and those are the perfect earrings for this outfit. I suppose using the pale pink clutch is a way of ringing the changes on a repeat outing but I'm not sure it quite gels with the whole, but overall I'd say the outfit was a win.
