Princess Kate, the Princess of Wales, and Queen Letizia of Spain have emerged as two of the most fashion-forward royal women in Europe.
Both are known for their impeccable style and tailoring, often wearing similar designs in their elegant ensembles.
Upon closer examination, Kate and Letizia’s wardrobes reveal striking similarities, from a mutual love of statement blazers to perfectly tailored trousers.
Kate Middleton and Queen Letizia’s styling
A key point on which Kate and Letizia’s styles coincide is their penchant for suits.
An example that both royals have the same fashion sense in their official acts was seen on the day that Queen Letizia attended an event before the Princess of Asturias Awards 2023.
On that occasion, she wore a recycled outfit by Hugo Boss. It is a two-piece Japanese crepe consisting of a relaxed one-button jacket model Jocalua and straight-leg pants with a silver buckle belt incorporated model Tapia.
Letizia freshened up the Hugo Boss ensemble with a white ruffled blouse by Carolina Herrera.
In Kate’s case, to inaugurate the Evelina London Children’s Day Surgery Unit at Guy’s and St Thomas’ Hospital in London. The princess wore a bespoke creation by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen.
At the Cerecedo Awards, Queen Letizia rescued a white two-piece suit by Hugo Boss from her closet.
It was a design composed of a fitted jacket with a lined lapel that she combined with a delicate matching lace top and straight pants a little wide.
For her part, the Princess of Wales to attend the Rugby World Cup opted for a white outfit also composed of pants and jacket by Alexander McQueen.
She combined her white outfit with a round-neck T-shirt in the same tone by Ralph Lauren.
Both royals sometimes match colors and set trends with their blazers and Working Girl looks.
On one occasion, the Spanish consort wore a green suit composed of a masculine blazer and straight pants by Carolina Herrera that she combined with a white blouse.
Kate wore a similar green blazer signed by Burberry that she wore for the first time in 2021, this time she combined it with a satin shirt with a bow on the neck in the same tone.
Regardless of color, the silhouette is another aspect in which Kate and Letizia show a twin style.
Both opt for straight pants paired with slightly oversized blazers, often open to reveal a contrasting top underneath.
Shoulder pads, lapels, and buttons catch the eye, creating eye-catching ensembles perfect for royal engagements.
By displaying a similar aesthetic in colors, silhouettes and specific pieces, Kate and Letizia confirm that stylish minds think alike and transcend borders.
