In Salamanca, Queen Letizia once again reminded us why she is considered a style icon both within and beyond Spain.
The mother of Princess Leonor and Infanta Sofia arrived to preside over an international event on World Cancer Research Day, and as is often the case with each of her appearances, her look sparked conversation.
For the occasion, she pulled a white tweed jacket by Massimo Dutti from her closet, a piece we’ve seen in previous seasons but that remains one of the most beautiful items in her collection.
Collarless, with frayed edges and jeweled buttons, the garment gains strength when worn closed and cinched with a wide belt that effortlessly enhances the figure. She paired it with classic black pants, creating a simple yet impeccable contrast.
The detail that stood out the most was the shoes. Letizia has left behind the impossible heels for health reasons and has found her new go-to in Mary Janes.
The wife of the King of Spain chose a slingback model by Sézane with a square toe and double strap on the instep, a comfortable and elegant design that has become a global trend. What’s interesting is how a piece historically associated with childhood has made such a strong comeback in women’s wardrobes, even reaching hers.
During her visit to Salamanca, the queen also spent time visiting the Cancer Research Center, showing interest in the progress and listening to the scientific teams.
