Queen Letizia is GORGEOUS!! Love that dress!!
ReplyDeletePerfection personified!
DeleteAgree with you
DeleteAva
but the hanging bows long ridiculous!
Deletem
I agree! Q. Letitia’s cocktail dress is perfection, and I love her choice of accessories. Both Dr. Biden and Mme Macron look good too. (V.M.)
DeleteAgree !!
DeleteAnd nice to see Madame Macron wear a dress with the length just below the knees.
DeleteQuelle superbe robe chez la Reine qui a vraiment une taille de mannequin mais alors Madame Macron nous a habitués à mieux ?!
ReplyDeleteShe does’nt need jewels to shine.And with that, she doesn’t overshadow the other ladies either. She has class
ReplyDeleteAgree! And also not posing all the time. really showing interest with some personal attention! She has the x-factor!
DeleteThere you nail it. It is so tacky to hang yourself with enormous pieces of royal jewelry when your hostess or the people your are hostess to simply do not have this kind of bling. Austria springs to mind…..

DeleteThere are countries where the protocol says that the Queen when she is hostess to a presidential couple never wears a tiara because the first lady doesn't has a tiara herself.
Stunning Queen
ReplyDeleteWow, this is style,
ReplyDeleteBeautiful dress that is sufficient in itself: no need for jewelry,
Mabel
Again: Stunning!!!! What a lovely dress!!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous look.
ReplyDeleteJill Biden’s white suit is very sharp but shoulders look way too big to me.

Beutiful table setting.
ReplyDeleteRoyal ladies should not wear black, except for funerals. Nice siluette, but ditch the silly bows. Greg
ReplyDeleteActually the mourning for royals is White, not black, at least in former Catholic ones. Because of that they visit the Pope in White, not black.
DeleteIn Spain women used to get married in black, It was a "respect" colour, and the Queen mourning was White. You should inform yourself, culture is not universal.
DeleteMaybe you hadn't heard. Queen Victoria died quite a while ago. It's a new day for black.
DeleteIf you are a man named Greg, I can see why the bows would be silly to you. Most men do look silly in bows. Letizia is a lady. They actually work on the dress.
The traditional court dress in Spain in earlier centuries has been black even outside funerals and including members of the royal family.

DeleteI am afraid you have not been informed correctly. The queens that are allowed to wear white when visiting the pope must be catholic. The mourning color for royals in the Benelux (I'm not talking about other countries because I'm not sure it is the same everywhere) is black like for everybody else. It was Queen Fabiola (being Spanish herself) of Belgium who tried to change that when King Baudouin died. She was the only one wearing white at his funeral. After that I never saw white again on a royal funeral in the Benelux including Queen Fabiola's own funeral.
@Anon 15:44 You are correct about Catholic queens being the only ones who wear white to visit the Pope. All other queens wear black.
DeleteAnon 15:44..you should read about MarÃa, Queen of Scotland...and the privilege of White....also Grey and lilac are mourning colours for the Catholic Church too...
DeleteBeautiful but I think in altering the neck and shoulders, the armhole doesn't sit nicely like on the model.
ReplyDeleteI like the black dress of Queen Letizia more now than the first time (last picture). The 1st time the skirt was too wide. Now the skirt is less wide. It is much better like that. The 2 bows are not needed. I also like the white pant suit of Jill Biden and the turquoise dress of Brigitte Macron. At least some happy colors between all the black of the men's suits and the women who wear black too.
ReplyDeleteThe Queen is magnificent in this black dress and her gorgeous earrings!
ReplyDeleteAnd it’s another white trouser suit! Just as well Jill Biden didn’t wear it on the earlier engagement. 😂. Strange choice for a gala dinner. Queen Letizia looks simply stunning
ReplyDeleteHanging long bows in black ruined an otherwise lovely dress.
ReplyDeleteLetizia looks great. Some of the ladies come close. B Macron looks lovely, a bit of color in the mix. Jill Bidens suit does not fit to well.
ReplyDeleteThe Queen looks fabulous, this dress is elegant and fits her figure so well, the bows are the detail that makes this dress more original and, no they don’t look silly, perhaps because they are well placed. Her hair, makeup and posture impeccable as usual. I truly like Mrs. Biden pantsuit, she has an excellent figure and always dresses age appropriate. Mrs. Macron’s dress is also very flattering.
ReplyDelete@Greg, there is no rule in the Spanish Royal House that states that black is only appropriate on funerals, that may be the case in different countries, but not in Spain.

Queen Letizia looks stunning! Dr. Biden's pantsuit is very fashionable and looks wonderful on her. Mme Macron's blue dress is very pretty and the color is very pretty on her.
ReplyDeleteJanet
I love this black dress, suits the Queen beautifully. I has some very interesting features, adding interest to this gown. Her diamond earrings, stunning. Brigitte Macron looks lovely, the turquoise dress is very becoming.
ReplyDeleteOne word fabulous.
ReplyDeleteThis lady I mean Queen should be a model, she is one class act.
