The King and Queen of Spain landed in Washington DC today and commenced their whirlwind four-day visit to the USA which will include visits to Washington DC, Miami and St Augustine in Florida.
Today also marked Queen Letizia's 43rd birthday, but it was business as usual for the Spanish Queen as she joined her husband, King Felipe VI on a tour of Mount Vernon, the estate of America's first president, George Washington. Their Majesties laid a wreath at the tomb of George and Martha Washington before touring the grounds and meeting with volunteers of the historic site.
Queen Letizia stepped out in an elegant monochromatic ensemble from her Spanish designer of choice, Felipe Varela. She wore a black and white floral dress from Varela's Pre-Fall 2015/16 collection and teamed it with a bespoke white blazer.
Letizia accessorized her refined outfit with a sophisticated handbag from Hugo Boss. The silhouette of the BOSS 'Bespoke T. Handle M' bag (£995) is reminiscent of 1950's, and it worked perfectly with her classic ensemble.
On her feet were the Prada black Saffiano print patent leather pointy toe pumps which have quickly become her favorite since their debut in April.
We also saw the return of another favorite, her TOUS cultured freshwater pearl drop earrings. Queen Letzia completed her chic retro style with her Uterque 'Blue-Arm' cats-eye sunglasses.

Mrs Obama was keen to show Her Majesty the White House Kitchen Garden, part of the First Lady's health program "Let's Move!". This initiative is close to Letizia's own interest, in her role as the UN Special Ambassador for Nutrition.

The royal couple's first day in the American capitol concluded with a formal reception hosted by high profile Spanish expats living in Washington DC. Prior to the reception, their Majesties held a meeting with the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the Senate in the Capitol building.
For the occasion, Queen Letizia premiered a navy blue Nina Ricci sequin separates outfit. It is reminiscent of this off-the-rack piece from the French designer's Spring 2015 collection. The navy bouclé tweed halter top is embellished with sequins and features a Peter Pan collar, two patch side pockets and a grosgrain-faced snap closure at front.
The set has a resemblance to the Nina Ricci red separates she wore in Mexico:
Letizia opted for tonal accessories, coordinating her Felipe Varela navy suede flap clutch with a new pair of navy patent Magrit peep-toe heels (which she also owns in nude patent).
