Queen Letizia Navy Blue Delpozo Dress

Queen Letizia once again opted for a classic from her wardrobe at the opening of the 30th Ibero-American Summit. For the ceremony at the Teatro Real and the subsequent dinner at the Palacio Real, she chose a navy blue Delpozo dress she has worn on several occasions. The dress features a boat neckline, a gently ballooned silhouette, and a large flower appliquéd on the right shoulder. That almost architectural detail is what transforms a piece with simple lines into one of the most recognizable in her wardrobe. The King and Queen welcomed the heads of state and government from the…

Infanta Sofia's Style at the 2026 Princess of Asturias Awards

Infanta Sofía chose a Bruna dress for the most important ceremony of her time in Oviedo.

Leonor's Speech at the 2026 Princess of Asturias Awards

Princess Leonor began her speech in Oviedo by looking back to 1981, the year these awards were presented for the first time. That afternoon, the philosopher María Zambrano—the only woman to receive the award and someone who had spent four decades in exile—sent a note in which she spoke of a light where “the young and the unprecedented” came together. The recipient of those words was a 13-year-old Felipe, and his daughter brought them up now to pose the question that ran through her entire speech: Does it still make sense to come to Oviedo every year to celebrate those…

For the dinner held in honor of President Emmanuel Macron and First Lady Brigitte Macron, she chose a long Carolina Herrera gown in a delicate shade of Cloudy Blue. The design featured a straight silhouette, allowing the semi-sheer yoke with floral motifs to take center stage. The sleeves, featuring a cape effect and slits, added movement to a piece that didn’t need a lot of embellishment. Letizia paired the dress with metallic sandals from Martinelli x Redondo Brand and her…

For a premiere alongside Tom Cruise, the Princess of Wales chose a plum-colored silk dress by Jenny Packham, paired with shoes and a clutch by Jimmy Choo.

Princess Leonor's Military Training Changed Her

Princess Leonor is wrapping up a three-year period of military training that, according to psychologist Lara Ferreiro, consulted by the Cronista portal, may have left a lasting impact far beyond uniforms, regulations, and training.

Queen Mary Embraces Autumn Style

Queen Mary of Denmark seems to have decided that autumn can start early in her wardrobe. For her visit to Eigtveds Pakhus in Copenhagen, she once again opted for a combination that blends elegance with that relaxed vibe so characteristic of Danish style.

What I like most about this look is the accessories. Mary added green XXL sunglasses and a vintage Bottega Veneta Hobo bag in the same shade, while brown…
