The centre will be a benchmark for contemporary art that will house 3,000 pieces, the construction is also the Spanish candidate in the 'Mies Van de Rohe 2021' European Architecture Awards. The Helga de Alvear Foundation is an NPO, autonomous and independently managed cultural entity, created in 2006. Its purpose is to fulfil Helga de Alvear's desire to share her collection with society and to the interest of several public institutions from Extremadura to provide Cáceres with a centre for research, dissemination and education in the field of contemporary visual creation.

Queen Letizia stepped out in her Felipe Varela tweed dress which first made an appearance in October of 2017 (shown below).

Today she contrasted the white and metallic woven dress with black accessories, opting for a black skinny belt and her Manolo Blahnik BB snakeskin embossed pumps with a custom rubber platform sole.

This white dress is classic and elegant. I preferred the look when Letizia wore it with a wider metallic belt and also metallic shoes and purse. Somehow this presented an edgier look that was not as harsh as the black. While the flap on the purse matches the shoes well, I don't care for the jumble of gold chains that make up the strap.

I wouldn't have guessed this was a Varela dress. The design is unusually subtle and understated. It's interesting to see the contrast between the metallic shoes and wide belt with the black shoes and skinny belt. I think the black accessories create a more dramatic presentation.

This Felippe Verela shirtdress is such a sweet fit on Letizia, never has tweed looked so svelte before, a very welcome repeat. I love the sophistication of the understated styling in dark button and extra-slim black belt, and the snakeskin pumps are a smart finishing touch.

The Nina Ricci bag is a lovely neat size and is held with an admirably short strap keeping the outfit in balance. Elegant, chic, stylish and most on point for a contemporary art engagement

Vintage Letizia. She is 'working this dress like a job'. Indeed she owns the total look. Cut, fit, length, accessories, fluidity in motion. Well done!

This is one of my all-time favourite suits. I love the collar and buttoned neckline and the cuffed sleeves. I do like it better with the skinny black belt although the wide silver belt was an interesting choice! I think it looks better with a slim clutch. I would be interested to see this with other belt/shoe/clutch colour combinations, perhaps red or navy?

Oh, this is a stunning outfit, the fit, style and cut is perfect. This style suits the Queen impeccably. I do prefer the black skinny belt and black snakeskin pumps, a more dramatic look as opposed to the metallic colour last time. The Nina Ricci bag I love.

She wore the same combination in New Orleans and with the President of Colombia, it is the 4th time she has worn it.

It's a joy to see the Queen in a beautifully tailored dress, this style complements her figure best.  As always, Varela's fit is impeccable with the neat shoulders, nipped-in waist, and subtle pockets - which gently accentuate the hips creating a flattering silhouette. The design is reminiscent of traditional suiting, the three-quarter length sleeves and metallic silver thread running through the tweed lighten the dress while adding modernity. Black accessories look chic and the thin waist belt elongates the waist, but to my surprise, my favourite outing of the dress is 2017 (as seen above). The mirrored accessories and diamond drop earrings were exciting stylistic choices that highlighted the silver detail in the fabric.
