| King Felipe and Queen Letizia of Spain are making a four-day state visit to Cuba between November 11 and 14. Today, King Felipe and Queen Letizia departed from Adolfo Suarez Madrid-Barajas Airport to travel to Cuba. During their visit in Cuba, the King and Queen will be accompanied by Spanish Acting Foreign Minister Josep Borrell. Queen Letizia wore a new houndstooth blazer by Uterqüe. |
Uterqüe Houndstooth Blazer
Prada Toe Pumps
Queen Letizia looks fabulous here. The double-breasted blazer is well tailored, with all the stripes, for lack of a better description, aligned perfectly. The white background is a great canvas on which to display the black pattern. Her pants are a perfect fit and length, and the turtleneck, shoes and clutch finish off the look. She and King Felipe are a very attractive pair.
ReplyDeleteHow about, "all the teeth ...." since it's houndsthooth. ;D
DeleteEuroupa
Euroupa, "all the teeth" works for me :D

ReplyDeleteGreat look for Letizia today.

Moderne et élégante.
ReplyDeleteQuite the ceremony to see them off... I like Letizia´s outfit as a travel outfit (minus the heels), but for that sort of ceremony, it seems a bit casual, especially the leggings-style trousers.
ReplyDeleteCasual? What Ceremony? It was only the National Anthem before getting on the plane, you can see the Minister who travel with them....She must wear a crown to travel by plane 9 hours.
DeleteSometimes when someone does not understand the situation should be ask or be quiet.
Is that a Ceremony for you?? It is the hearing of the National Anthem which is done like that in Spain. It is because the govermment is travelling also. A State Visit...I can't see the "ceremony".
DeleteWalking on a red carpet, standing on a fancy podium, listening to the anthem, people in their parade uniforms saluting. I call that a ceremony, and it´s a very formal departure. And I would not wear casual leggings-style trousers for that. That´s all.
DeleteOther royals, when leaving for a trip abroad, just walk over the airfield and board the plane with no ceremonial routine involved.
Not very nice to tell someone to "be quiet".
I agree with you Vanessa. Tight pants are never appropriate when we are talking state anthem.

Not very nice to say "Quite the ceremony to see them off"...I think nobody obligued you to see them.
DeleteEvery Country does things different, and it is not a "ceremony".
Others Royals?? All Queens and Kings do that...maybe you have not seen it....Kate and William are not Kings...
She wears somethig confortable to fly.

A mí me parece que va elegante. El himno nacional se oye hasta en los pattidos de fútbol. Otra vez de fuera diciendo lo que se debe y no se debe hacer que otros países. Ella es la Reina y no sabe lo que se puede y mo se puede llevar y gente de otros lugares lo sabe todo. Asi va el mundo.
DeleteEvery time the National Anthem is played I run home to change my clothes...LOL...
DeleteAt football matches people should wear a dress....lol....
Making up new rules...
What is wrong with me observing that they went through a rather formal departure ceremony? A ceremony is - by definition - a ritual that is done for symbolic reasons rather than logistic requirements. That is definitely the case here. You may not like my wording, and it might be referred to as something else in the protocol, but it is a ceremony. Various nations do that differently, exactly, and Spain seems to have a rather formal approach. Other countries surely also have officials present to see off the head of state when departing for a state visit. But I doubt that all countries have red carpet + podium + anthem + guards in full dress uniform and the media covering it all.
DeleteIt´s of course a different story at arrival when the state guest are received by their hosts.
There is nothing wrong with you making your observation Vanessa - your understanding of the word ceremony is the same as mine. But I think she looks fine - she looks smart but ready to comfortable for a long flight.
DeleteI think it's important to understand that there is a small contingent of aggressive Spanish posters who seem to think that it's impossible to know or have an opinion on anything Spanish if you aren't Spanish. The reverse is not true for them - they can make as many comments about other royals, or can attack you based on what they imagine you to be saying rather than what you might actually be saying.

Another sleek well tailored appearance by Queen Letizia,...The heels on those Pradas are eye watering, but she can do no wrong. Viva! - MB
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful ensemble. The coat is perfectly tailored. It fits superbly. Love the pants fit and length are spot on. Love the shoes and handbag. The Queen looks very elegant.
ReplyDeletePlease take a safe trip in Cuba.
ReplyDeletePerfecta y elegante, lo que no me gusta es la cartera. Supongo que llevara papeles que piensa repasar pero veo necesario que cargue con ellos.
ReplyDeleteCuando los reyes van de visita de estado, van en representación del congreso por eso se les despide con el imno nacional.Normalmente es una ceremonia corta y seria.
Yo creo que llevará las gafas, el móvil, pañuelos papel....documentos...

Love the jacket! The trousers are the perfect fit for a slimmer, more modern style. It is a very appropriate outfit for a sending off ceremony!

Very chic outfit on Letizia, jacket is very well tailored and trousers are just the right choice to combine with it. - Siri
