Every year, the Princess of Asturias Awards become a central event for the Spanish Royal Family, and although Princess Leonor is usually the main figure, her younger sister, Infanta Sofia, has managed to steal the spotlight for her ever-evolving style.
As the years have gone by, Sofia has left behind more childish outfits to adopt a more sophisticated style, always maintaining a balance between youth and elegance.
Infanta Sofia’s style at the Princess of Asturias Awards
Since her first appearance at the awards, in 2019, the infanta has been transforming her image. On that occasion, she opted for a beige tweed dress with delicate ruffles on the collar and sleeves, a simple but age-appropriate look.
However, it was in 2020 when she began to stand out more noticeably.
In the midst of the pandemic, and with restrictions and facemasks taking center stage, Sofia surprised with a two-piece ensemble in green, composed of a tulle skirt and a plumeti top that demonstrated her growing interest in fashion.
A year later, in 2021, her teenage style was visibly blossoming. During the awards ceremony, the youngest daughter of the King and Queen shined in a pale pink tulle midi skirt paired with a black top embellished with rhinestones. To complete her look, she wore a ballet bun that gave her a touch of maturity.
In 2022, the Infanta Sofia took a step further towards sophistication, choosing a sequined dress in midnight blue, signed by El Corte Inglés, with long sleeves and a pair of heels. Her hairstyle, a high ponytail, exposed loose strands framing her face, which gave her a youthful but refined air.
But the look that has attracted the most attention so far was the one she chose for the last edition of the awards.
The infanta dared to wear a black strapless dress with an asymmetrical white part, designed by the Sevillian firm Cardié.
This outfit, with a side opening in the skirt, showed a perfect combination of risk and elegance, marking a milestone in her stylistic evolution.
With each appearance, Sofia has shown that her style grows with her. She maintains an aesthetic in keeping with her age, but has managed to incorporate details of maturity that reflect her personality and evolution.
