We don't see this colour often, although Kate, The Duchess of Cambridge wore a similar colour recently. I think I'd prefer the asymmetrical top to be a bit shorter, not going down below the knees. I'm not caring for the shoes, neither the colour, nor the plastic look. The purse is fine. This top is rather plain and although Letizia is a minimalist with jewellery, a brooch in gold would have enhanced. She did wear a brooch the last time with this outfit .

The Zara set was one of my top ten outfits of 2019. I have been afraid to see it repeated in case the styling is lacklustre in comparison. In 2019 the Queen's hair looked professionally blow-dried, the navy accessories were original and the adorable bee brooch rounded the outfit off nicely. The 12th's rewear isn't as strong, but Letizia looks lovely! Her hair is neatly swept off of her face into a youthful bun and the glossy slingbacks were an elegant choice - the red insoles complement the vibrant orange beautifully. This set looks expensive, it fits nicely and the lines are long and clean, it's a credit to Zara (if only all of Letizia's choices from Zara were as successful). Minor quibble - the orange clutch blends seamlessly into the set, however, up close it's worn, the colour is peeling off down the sides (this can be seen more clearly on the bag ID photograph here 15/06/18)

Jennifer, I checked back to 15/06/18 and you are certainly right. The bag is very worn around the edges. When I have this problem with shoes, purse or whatever, I find an ink marker pen in the same colour and then apply it to the tattered looking parts. It does a pretty good job at disguising the flaws.

Hi Laura, I have done exactly the same thing with marker pens and nail varnish. It's such an effective way to tidy up any small areas of damage.

I love this outfit, stunning vibrant colour, suiting the Queen perfectly. I am not a fan of the colour of the shoes on this occasion. The ensemble in 2019 to me was the most successful, the navy shoes and clutch,. really offset the colour of the pantsuit beautifully, combined with the gorgeous bee brooch (I am a real fan of brooches) The orange clutch, is a miss for me.

This is a very bold and unusual outfit. I have to give high marks to Zara and Letizia for having the courage and creativity to produce/wear this outfit. Both the colour and style are out of the ordinary and might not appeal to the average person's taste. I think the outfit looks good on Letizia although I'm not sure orange flatters her colouring. But overall it is refreshing to see her wear something so different considering she is a royal. That is what makes her style so interesting.

I loved this Zara two-piece the first time I saw it and remain a fan. I think it packs in a lot of style for a High Street buy, keeping to simple lines while achieving a noteworthy outfit. The asymmetric hem of the top really carries the day. I love the repeat Schlesser croc clutch and the Herrera slingbacks work very nicely.
