Her Majesty sported the designer's black feather & rhinestones blazer (€890), and cropped cigarette pants. The separates are from the Fall/Winter 2019/2020 collection.  The classic pant suit is enhanced with luxurious ostrich feathers and strings of rhinestones on the arms of the single breasted blazer.

This suit is the second design Queen Letizia has added to her closet in a matter of weeks from the Pertegaz fashion house who created her wedding dress. You may recall she wore a silver Pertegaz pussy bow dress during the Princess of Asturias Awards last month.

Leonor's speech was terrific!! In Català, Castellano (Spanish does not exist, it would be as saying British, in Spain another three languages are cooficial and they are Spanish too) English and Arabian ( as one of the awarded speaks that language.)
There was an ovation, very proud of our Crown princess.

Of course Spanish exists. Please check with the RAE (Spanish Royal Academy), according to them Castellano and Spanish are both correct and they recommend we rather use Spanish. I think they are the expert in this matter. And try to ask someone from Latin America what language they speak.

Our Constitution says it is castellano Article 3, Spanish Constitution.
In Latin America they speak a totally different thing, despite being castellano, Galego, Català and Euskera are Spanish too.....

Articulo 3, Spanish Constitution:

"El castellano es la lengua española oficial del Estado. Todos los españoles tienen el deber de conocerla y el derecho a usarla. Las demás lenguas españolas serán también oficiales en las respectivas Comunidades Autónomas de acuerdo con sus Estatutos."

In Latin América they know that the language is called castellano, from the kingdom of Castilla. I live in Argentina, and here there are a lot of Basques, Asturians, Catalans...who keep their languages, Spanish too.....The Constitution recomnend that way....and that's the law.
That is the way to include the diversity of the country without problems. I even can vote in the elections...

I wasn't referring to what the Spanish Constitution says, but to the fact you mentioned Spanish language doesn't exist and compared it to British. Despite what the Constitution says about the use of languages in Spain, the fact is that according to RAE Spanish does exist and it would be confusing to state the opposite, more when we are on an international forum. Probably Spanish newspapers wrote that Leonor's speech was in castellano, English and catalan and international newspapers wrote that her speech was in Spanish, English and Catala and they are both being correct.

Hi all, may we please keep the topic to fashion. I will no longer publish comments on this topic. Thank you for your understanding x

I'm shocked to see a new piece from Pertegaz after October's revival of the brand in the Queen's wardrobe. Letizia has a few tuxedo-inspired suits/jumpsuits/dresses, this is an opulent take on the sleek style she favors. Elegant lines of the suit allow the eye to focus solely on the extravagance of the sleeves, which are relatively subtle against the backdrop of dark suits behind her. It’s the jet rhinestones that glisten against the black. The set is surprisingly feminine with the deep V of the satin lapels, whimsical detailing and cropped trousers, which stop the suit from appearing overly heavy with the flash of skin at the ankle. It's a shame that a pair of fabulous shoes wasn't showcased. The Manolo Blahnik pumps work far more successfully here than they did with The 2nd Skin Co outfit. They keep the styling clean, not competing against the lavish ostrich feathers or majestic jewels. However, I may have preferred a smaller choice of diamond earrings (if the Joyas de Pasar diamond chanton earrings looked too much) and a dressier shoe: for example, the Spanish designer's Hangisi pumps which would have echoed the glittering abundance of stones on the jacket.

Thanks for highlighting the use of rhinestones, I was having trouble picking them out! They are artfully done and lift the feathering detail into another realm, of which I approve. I enjoyed the black snakeskin pumps, a quiet touch of texture without anything over-the-top while still reflecting the excitement of feathers and rhinestones. The Joyas de Pasar earrings also worked for me in that same context, evidently my taste is more showy than your ever elegant preferences ;-)

The tuxedo style suit is fabulous. But I would have preferred a contrasting camisole or top inside instead of monochrome black.
I' m not sure about the feathers on the sleeves although it does make the outfit more original and interesting.

Ooooh, love this suit. Those feathers. Anytime QL wears feathers. I'm on board! Modern, hip and oh so chic. Those earrings wow! Gorgeous. Clutch I like. Not so thrilled with the shoes. Do not like the pattern on them.

Sorry, the feathers are losers for me. Very contrived and theatrical. I too would have preferred a white cami underneath instead of the black. Earrings are very dramatic but maybe a little emphatic. I wish she'd wear a necklace once in a while. The girls look lovely and poised as always.

I was none too sure at first about the feathers on this otherwise sharp Pertegaz pantsuit. I thought perhaps they were too cautious and might be a feature best used with extravagance in a disco setting by someone more unorthodox, rather than a minor outcrop on classic formal wear. But I've come down in favour of seeing it as elan and chic, enough, but not too much, and preserving Letizia's credentials for taking fashion risks. I love seeing the two girls in differing styles, I think Sofia looks as if she too might have some considerable panache while Eleanor is playing safe while stepping into the sober monarchical role.

Sorry Bertie, but the Princess name is Leonor.........Eleanor must be in other country, I think in Sweden, Madeleine's daughter.

I correct myself, in Sweden is Leonore (with a final "e"). I do not know how to read in Swedish.
And in Belgium there is one Eléonore in French, the youngest daughter of the King.

So no one is called Eleanor. Is that in English??

Sorry Simone, my mistake, useless memory!

Crown Princess Leonor's speech was fabulous. She is outstanding! The Queen looked divine, so classy. Different, could be a tad over the top for some, but I love this look. Modern, chic and so elegant. Diamonds earrings are stunning. The clutch and shoes look great. A wonderful event and terrific to see recognition for such important topics, especially in this age group, very encouraging for others.
