The King and Queen are now in Egypt, and as is often the case on such trips, Letizia was the first to catch the eye.
Just a few hours after landing in Cairo, she was seen at a reception with the Spanish community, where she debuted what we could call her “first Egyptian look.”
It was a black dress with a bardot neckline that fit her like a glove. Simple in form, yet powerful, thanks to the blend of elegance and confidence that she masterfully manages.
If in the morning she boarded the plane in Madrid wearing a light blue suit with a jacket and trousers, practical and comfortable for flying, by the afternoon she had transformed into a true state hostess.
The black dress, fitted and with bare shoulders, demonstrated her ability to play with contrasts while maintaining coherence. It was a change of register that highlighted her versatility and her use of fashion as a diplomatic language.
When it came to accessories, she chose discretion. No flashy necklaces or bracelets, just a pair of diamond and white gold button earrings, along with her ever-present Karem Hallam ring.
The bag was a black Max Mara “Pasticcino,” which seamlessly integrated with the rest of the outfit, except for the metallic detail of the closure. The result was impeccable: sober, elegant, and without any fuss.
The curious thing is that, although many expected a more obvious nod to the local culture, Letizia opted for simplicity and sophistication.
