Queen Letizia of Spain’s Outfit in Croatia
For her first stop, the Spanish consort wore a beautiful winter outfit to withstand the low temperatures of the Croatian capital.
She opted for the elegant black cape designed by Carolina Herrera with fur collar. She also wore gloves, something not very common for the queen, however, the cold forced her to protect herself better.
Under the cape she wore a dark green dress that she wore last April in London for the religious service for the death of Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.
At her feet she wore Magrit pumps with crocodile leather and front lacing, perfect for the occasion.
As for the bag, she opted for the Mini Doma Insignia Satchel in black. She wore her hair in a bun that exposed her Gold & Roses earrings.
The King and Queen met with the Croatian President and laid a wreath at the Monument to the Homeland in Zagreb and then attended a dinner in his honor at the Presidential Palace.

Official dinner of the King and Queen of Spain in Croatia
For this event, the monarch opted for the same dress she wore for the Princess of Girona Awards last July. It is a blue garment, midi cut that stands out for the novel design of the neckline from which the rhinestone lace on the shoulder is detached.
As for jewelry, she opted for Queen Sofia’s royal garments and wore for the first time the feather-shaped earrings made of brilliant and baguette-cut diamonds. They are part of the pieces of the emeritus since the 80s and were a gift from the Sultan of Oman.
She also wore a white gold, diamond and sapphire bracelet that she debuted in 2017, and since then, she has been seen with some frequency. She completed her elegant look with Carolina Herrera pumps and a blue satin clutch handbag.
Queen Letizia in culotte pants and bicolor shirt
On Thursday, November 17, Queen Letizia of Spain reappeared with the President and First Lady of Croatia to participate in a scientific business forum. And she did so wearing a very flattering pair of culotte pants that left no one indifferent.
For this daytime event, Letizia has opted for a “false” set formed by culotte pants and bicolor shirt. An incredible Victorian style piece by Teresa Helbig. Undoubtedly an elegant, formal and sober style ideal for the occasion.
This outfit has been combined with a matching belt by Ulises Mérida, perfect to visually refine the waist. The most outstanding details are the frills and the buttons at the top.
As for footwear, she has opted for a black heeled boots. She has also carried her Adolfo Dominguez handbag and has worn earrings given to her by the first lady of Croatia. They are two earrings with three little balls that have a lot of history behind them as they represent a traditional design of the host country that was found centuries ago near the village Barban.
