At the Royal Palace, we witnessed one of those seemingly casual scenes that leaves questions unanswered. The King and Queen presided over a meeting of the Princess of Girona Foundation, and when they arrived, they were both wearing nearly identical gray suits, double-breasted and with visible buttons. They even matched their loafers.
Sometimes clothing speaks volumes, and this could be one of those instances. Unity, teamwork… or perhaps a wardrobe coincidence, who knows?
What look did Letizia choose for this official event?
The Queen donned her Hugo Boss suit, a gray wool ensemble with a Prince of Wales check that is a familiar sight in her wardrobe. It was released in 2020, a clear indication of its popularity.
The double-breasted jacket, featuring pronounced lapels and side pockets, maintains the masculine aesthetic that suits Letizia so well. The straight-leg pants complete an outfit that seems tailor-made for a meeting like this: serious, polished, and purposeful.
The mother of Princess Leonor and Infanta Sofia softened the gray with a beige shirt buttoned up to the top, without any fuss, allowing the coordination with the King to be the highlight of the day.
On her feet, Massimo Dutti platform moccasins with a wide heel – a comfortable choice that maintains her silhouette. The bag added a touch of luxury: the Marché by Nina Ricci, featuring a gold chain and an animal print flap that breaks up the gray without feeling out of place.
As for jewelry, she kept it simple: gold hoops and her Coreterno ring, which has practically become part of her personal brand.
The King also wore a Prince of Wales check suit, a white shirt, and a red tie, which provided the only bold touch of the day. He was understated with a touch of color; she was neutral and solid. The final image conveys harmony and a shared purpose.
