FASHION FLASHBACK
Letizia has predominantly favored tailored designs by Felipe Varela for this annual national day event. In 2010, the then Princess of Asturias branched out and wore a relaxed pant and shawl ensemble. Letizia's smart casual approach didn't go down too well with everyone, and she has since rectified her faux pas in subsequent years.

I love this outfit. More so without the jacket though. Really pretty. I love how they are still affectionate and holding hands after all this time.

For me, the corporate-cool jacket and fairy princess dress work unexpectedly well together, but the dress is magic on its own - you get an inkling from the slideshow of how glorious it was when Letizia was moving. The simple accessorising is lovely. Great to see Letizia's evolving style in the flashback - I thought she looked particularly striking in 2014 and '16.

Welcome back, Elizabeth! From the comments I read your blog is loved & appreciated around the world. Take all the time you need to catch up.

As for Letizia, I love this Varela ensemble and the fact it looks great with or without the jacket. It's very practical when an outfit offers versatility. The light dusty pink colour is lovely and the fullness of the skirt goes well with the fitted top.

Welcome back Elizabeth. I missed Letizia. I love this dress but not so much the double-breasted jacket which makes her tiny frame look a bit matronly.

It is the first time that Leonor has been sat on the King's right as the Crown Princess.

Nice skirt. True, I agree. It looks better without the jacket.

The outfit is gorgeous without the jacket though the pale pink double breasted is an understandable nod to the formality of the formal parade out of doors. With jacket removed the skirt is transformed, such fabulous lace, pure feminine froth. Earrings and clutch are fab. Lovely to see the princess in their sweet plaid dresses.
