In her first year as the Queen of Spain, Letizia has cemented her status as a royal style icon. She has shown she is not afraid to experiment with her fashion choices, successfully wearing every style from bohemian chic to regal elegance.

In the past 12 months, Queen Letizia debuted dozens of new outfits, but the thrifty royal also recycled countless pieces from previous years, keeping in line with Spain's tone of austerity. She confidently mixed high-end fashion with budget-friendly garments, particularly from fast-fashion giant, Mango.
