  1. Ein sehr schönes Kleid! Allerdings finde ich, dass Letizia in letzter Zeit zu oft die Farbe schwarz trägt. Außerdem sieht das Modell zu sommerlich aus, da ärmellos.

    2. I Spain we wear sleeveless dresses indoor even in winter. The heating use to be high.
      Is Germany do people wear hat, scarf and gloves, indoors?

      Delete
    3. In the UK generally we don't tend to wear sleeveless in winter even with heating. But, as I imagine in Germany, nor is it necessary to wear outdoor clothes indoors Anonymous 11.53.

    4. Franny, really?? Meghan Markle is wearing an sleeveless dress.
      In Spain we wear them and even straps.

    5. As far as I have seen on the pictures of ABC.es, Queen Letizia was the only woman wearing a sleeveless dress. But since it was a very cold evening in Madrid Letizia wore a black fur when arriving at the Casa ABC.

    6. Yes, Anonymous - hence my use of the term "we don't tend" - Meghan isn't every British woman.

    7. Obviously she wore a coat in the street. So in Britain women wear dresses with slevees at galas and parties in the evening when they even wore gloves.Come on!! Not even in the 50s. Stop saying nonsenses.

    8. I don't know who you are addressing with your comment Anonymous 11.29 - and I don't know who is supposedly talking nonsense - although the meaning of your comment is not clear at all.

  3. Very pretty and festive! Lovely. I even like the "messy bun" on Letizia (as long as it doesn't become her trademark!).

  7. Lovely as usual! Yay for the messy bun!! Perhaps a statement supporting Meghan? Lord knows Letizia was raked over the coals too in beginning.

    1. That you call "messy bun" is the typical Spanish "moño bajo", worn a lot by brides, nothing related with Meghan who as she is from California has Spanish heritage.

      Delete
    2. Anon@ 11:18, being from California doesn't imply having Spanish heritage, lots of of people in the Americas have Iberian DNA, as well as tens of other ethnicities.
      And yes that is a messy bun, the typical Spanish moño bajo is thigh and polished with a very well defined middle part, I suggest a little research before you correct other people's comments.

    4. I totally agree. However, I am perplexed that the messy bun is liked on Letizia but not on Meghan. How come?

      Delete
    5. Why is a moño bajo worn high when bajo means low? Seems a bit strange to me?

      Delete
    6. Anon 7:34, el "moño bajo" can be polished or not...I am a Spaniard so I know it well...Sometimes we do it as Letizia has done, with a pin, if you see closer photos, you could see it.
      Franny, its name is moño bajo because it is not at the top, another type of moño.

    7. Unknown I like the messy bun on Meghan and Letizia and myself 😚 and many others.

      Thank you Anon 7:34

    10. Getting confused with all the Anonymous - thanks for the clarification of the terminology.

      Letizia looks great with this hairstyle.

    11. Anon @ 12:11, the link that you copied it's just a series of hairstyles that relates to any country, and the title itself is rather self explanatory , moños bajos DESPEINADOS, or MESSY and that is the key word, these styles are no more Spanish than any other updo, they are just modern hairdos for weddings, period, nothing to do with the typical and traditional moño bajo, well reflected in paintings and photographs of Spanish beauties. Your comment that anon @ 7:34 didn't know what she was talking about is just as accurate as your statement about all people from California having Spanish heritage, simply not true. I am sure that you are a very proud Spaniard, but Queen Letizia's hair style has very little to do with cultural roots, but everything to do with current fashion.

  13. ¡Qué maravilloso vestido! Estaba yo deseando volver a verlo. Es delicado, pero con presencia y personalidad, igual que la Reina.
    Creo que Letizia lleva los pendientes de chatones mejor que nadie, incluida Ena.

  20. She wore this dress not too long ago, but I absolutely love it, she looks fantastic, and I love the hairstyle, if one must wear an updo, this is the way to do it... and the earrings OMG!! Gorgeous from head to toe.

  23. Why do a lot of people love the 'messy' bun on Letizia but hate it on Meghan?!
    That was my first thought. I don't get it.

    1. Rosalyn, I think it was explained several times that Letizias "moño bajo" has nothing to do with a messy bun.

    2. O I'm sorry, I've missed it. Let's just say that both styles of a bun are nice on them.
