Today, I want to share with you one of those moments that reminds me why Queen Sofia’s style has its own unique charm.
During her visit to New York to honor the memory of Diego de Gardoqui, the emeritus appeared with a look that blended serenity and light in equal measure.
What was the blue suit Sofia wore to official events like?
For this engagement, Sofia chose a blue suit, an outfit we had already seen at the wedding of José Luis Martínez-Almeida and Teresa Urquijo. It’s a flattering color that suits her well and challenges the notion that soft tones are only for spring.
The blazer featured 3D floral appliqués that ran up the lapel, a romantic detail that added texture without being overdone.
With a matching top and straight, flowing pants, the empress achieved a clean, elegant, and comfortable monochrome look for a busy day.
She added a black handbag and a multi-strand silver necklace that complemented the outfit without overpowering it.
And what about the pink coat that caused a stir at Carnegie Hall?
Then, at Carnegie Hall, Sofia made an unexpected turn and appeared in a completely pink outfit designed by Alejandro de Miguel. It’s not a common color in her wardrobe, so the visual impact was immediate.
The tweed frock coat, featuring a unique collar modification to match the fabric, was the absolute centerpiece.
She placed her white flower-shaped brooch on it, an accessory that is almost part of her visual identity. Beneath it, a flowing blouse and trousers in the same color maintained the harmony of the ensemble. The pearls, of course, accompanied her again.
