At the Francisco Cerecedo Journalism Awards, Letizia once again reminded us why her evening appearances often generate so much anticipation. I know many of you feel the same way I do: when it comes to this annual event, we always expect a different stylistic nod. And this time, we had it.
The Queen arrived at the Ritz wearing a monochrome ensemble centered around a long, straight sequined skirt by Massimo Dutti, featuring a subtle, yet elegant, burgundy sheen. She paired it with a cashmere sweater from Falconeri, a piece she had already worn at the Military Easter event and which fit perfectly.
Why did the necklace attract so much attention?
The most talked-about aspect of the look wasn’t the skirt or the accessories, but something Letizia almost never wears: a necklace. And not a discreet one. She opted for a bold, on-trend gold chain, a departure from the delicate pearls she typically wears.
This detail broke with her usual style and added a modern touch to the ensemble. She doesn’t need grand gestures to refresh her image, and this subtle, modern touch proves it. Sometimes, a single accessory can completely transform the look.
How did the stylist finish the look with coordinated accessories?
The accessories echoed the burgundy theme: low-heeled Magrit pumps and a matching handbag, both in shades that harmonize with the ensemble without overpowering the skirt.
The new earrings, also gold and double-hoop, reinforced the contemporary vibe she introduced with the necklace. Her customary Coreterno ring added that personal touch that is always present on the Queen’s right hand.
