Let’s discuss a fascinating detail from the ceremony where Queen Sofia received the Golden Fleece from King Felipe.
On a day when all eyes were supposed to be on the honoree, Letizia made a stylistic choice that demonstrates her ability to read the room: she appeared with a look that was not at all showy, but full of meaning.
The mother of Princess Leonor and Sofia chose the same powdery pink shade as her mother-in-law, a clear sign of harmony and respect on a historic day for the family.
The outfit she wore wasn’t new, and that says it all. This is the two-piece Carolina Herrera outfit she debuted last year in Italy, featuring a pencil skirt and an embroidered jacket with lantern sleeves.
It’s a design that works without being overbearing, allowing the focus to remain where it should be. I was struck by the fact that she paired it exactly as she had then: Magrit slingbacks and a matching bag. Nothing improvised, nothing to draw attention.
The color match with Queen Sofia doesn’t seem to be a coincidence. These looks are prepared well in advance and require careful coordination, especially for such a symbolic event.
