On October 20, 2023, King Felipe, Queen Letizia, Crown Princess Leonor, Infanta Sofia and Queen Sofia attended the 31st Princess of Asturias Awards ceremony held at the Campoamor Theater in Oviedo. This year, American actress Meryl Streep was named winner of the 2023 Princess of Asturias Award for the Arts.
The holder of three Oscars, eight Golden Globes, two BAFTAs and three Emmys, Meryl Streep is considered one of the best contemporary actresses.
This year, other winners of the awards were philosopher Nuccio Ordine, historian Helene Carrere d’Encausse, Kenyan athlete Eliud Kipchoge, writer and translator Haruki Murakami, the non-profit organization the Drugs for Neglected Diseases initiative, American biologists Jeffrey Gordon and Everett Peter Greenberg, and American biochemist Bonnie Lynn Bassler.
La tenue de l'infante (qui soit dit en passant est très mode et inspirante) aurait gagné en allure, si celle-ci, aurait songé à faire coiffer ses trop longs
ReplyDeletecheveux plats autrement . Sa soeur et elle ont dépassé l'âge de l'adolescence. Un peu de coquetterie au niveau de la chevelure ne serait pas de trop. Lorraine-Rose.
I cannot see any problem with the hair of any of these two lovely young women ; again the syndrom of "please cut your hair".
DeleteThe three ladies and Qn Sofia are nicely dressed. I would say that Leonor's suits is a bit strict, not very exciting as Mabel said.
Back to their usual impeccable dressed selves!
ReplyDeleteLove Sophia in her daring dress!
The Queen: oh what a stunning lady; Leonor: good but not very exciting.
Mabel
Jeeze...I don't know...
ReplyDeleteAfter seeing this and the previous set of Princess of Asturias Awards photos, I feel that both these beautiful princesses are missing something big. Both are beauties, but both look years past their youthful age. The frumpy length of their dresses or skirts...bad posture (Sofia)...no exciting 'zing' from either of them. I don't know what else to say. They both have tremendous potential so my fingers are crossed.
Their mother and grandmother on the other hand look wonderful here, in contrast.

If I had a wish, I would also recommand that Prss Sofia pays more attention to her posture.
DeleteLeonor is a beautiful young lady, but I wish she would dress more modern. I know she is the future queen and very conscious of her responsibilities, but she can really turn it up a notch. This outfit as well as the pink one looks like it belongs in someone much older's wardrobe.
ReplyDeleteI agree. Princess Leonor dresses like an old lady.
DeleteI appreciate that her Grandmother teaches her to be Modest
DeleteJ aime énormément la robe de Sofia de dos portée par le mannequin.
ReplyDeleteSublime Letizia comme toujours.
Les infantes n ont pas encore trouvé leur propre style, mais cela viendra.
Froufrou
Infanta Sofia looks beautiful, love her outfit.
ReplyDeleteQueen Letizia, oh, love her dress, she wears this beautifully.
Leonor looks pretty, Navy suits her well.
The young Princesses are looking very beautiful - classy and elegant and are taking after their mother the Queen.
ReplyDeleteMary
think it would look better if Leonor switched clothes with her mother.
ReplyDeleteInfanta Sofia has inappropriate shoes. Pumps without a heel with a completely flat sole (so-called ballet flats) are very unsuitable for wearing, because wearing them hurts the arch of the feet (doctors - orthopedists say). In addition, wearing such shoes does not look good optically - the foot looks "flat, wide, the calves too. Long-term wearing of such shoes can lead to flat feet.

DeleteJe suis totalement en accord avec vous ; j'ai été confrontée à ce genre de souci car quand je portais des chaussures plates comme des ballerines, cela se ressentait au niveau de ma plante du pied, de mes orteils pouvant entraîner des hallus vagus ; suivant les conseils de mon médecin, un petit talon 2.5/3 cm maximum convenait mieux à ma posture, c'est à dire ma colonne vertébrale !
Glad to see others state that very flat shoes are bad for your feet as well as being unflattering. I know very high stilettos are not good either, though at least they look good, but my podiatrist described ballet flats especially for young girls as ‘the devil’s work!’ Sofia is tall but her outfits really need at least a small kitten heel to look good.

L'outfit di Leonore è bello ma forse troppo serio per la sua età, qualcosa già visto con le principesse Catherine e Madeleine. L'Infanta Sofia è splendida e spero non debba indossare scarpe piatte a vita, ha gambe lunghe e un bel fisico, è alta come il suo bel papà...bisogna che se ne facciano una ragione 🙂
ReplyDeleteRossella
Toutes les quatre sont élégantes, chacune dans son propre style mais des petits talons auraient apporté un super look à Sofia et surtout avec les cheveux coiffés comme le mannequin par exemple !
ReplyDeleteIn case you wish to catch a real vibe of this ceramony, here is Ptss Leonor in Spanish

Wonderful Leonor
DeleteShe is poised to be an exceptional Queen of Spain! MR
DeleteAfter having seen the video, I realize that Leonor needed to look "serious", "business like" and not a doll. So it was a good choice even if not exciting
ReplyDeleteYes. A good choice
DeleteEn un acto institucional , Leonor siempre vestirá de etiqueta. Esto quiere decir ropa con mesura.
ReplyDeleteNo sabía. Hermosa Princesa de todas maneras! MR
DeleteIs princess Leonor's dress a design by "And other Stories" ? The transparent skirt and the tweed bodice is a mark of that brand. It is a bit a too old dress for her.
ReplyDeleteInfante Sophia looks good in that black and white "Cardie" dress although I prefer her with the jumpsuit version.
Queen Letizia's dress is too long, otherwise a beautiful dress.
Rose
Marcos Luengo, bespoke
DeleteI know someone said it was Marcos Luengo, but the Spanish press says it's a dress designed by Moisés Nieto
DeleteAgain, an interesting assortment from the ladies of the SRF. Queen Sofia looks very elegant--love her jacket. I was not a fan of Leonor's outfit until I saw the close up of it--it is gorgeous and its perfect for the importance of the awards. QLet--I know everyone seems to love it but I am not a fan of the one side bare/one side with a sleeve look. In the photos it looks like Letizia has lost an arm. Charlene has a similar dress that I didn't like for the same reason. Still, the dress fits beautifully and Letizia looks wonderful. Sofia--such a pretty girl. The dress needs to be better tailored along her mid-section. I would also suggest a different shoe as the length of the dress and her shoes are not working well together. Finally, she needs some posture lessons. I feel like I am being a bit harsh on her but the posture thing is important and will benefit her for life. She is a beautiful girl and standing straight with squared shoulders would enhance her natural beauty.
ReplyDeleteJanet
Janet, I share your opinion about the dress with one sleeve.I think a dress should either be sleeveless or have sleeves,in general.
DeleteSofia is a tall girl. She may be self concious of her height as she feels awkward towering over everybody. I'm sure in time she will gain confidence and her posture will improve.
DeleteProud father - loving daughter, such a lovely family!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteAgree, and the daughters should be very proud of their father.
DeleteA handsome man and perhaps the best dressed of the royal gents in Europe and a very good King.
I like Letizia's dress the best but what's with the white shoes? I think a metallic pair would have looked better. Once again Sofia picked something unusual and youthful while Leonor looks a bit matronly in her navy midi dress. Can you imagine the size of these ladies closets? All together they will have enough clothes to fill my 1300 square foot home.
ReplyDeleteLetizia's shoes are metallic
DeletePardon me! I need a new pair of glasses. Thanks for fact checking,
DeleteVery nice look for everyone, css
ReplyDeleteI think that Leonor's dress is very effective, simple but smart, a good navy shade which appears even more beautiful and classy under the hall lights.
ReplyDeleteThe right kind of dress for such an institutional engagement.
It's 'intemporal', to put it in Spanish.
Here's a link to her speech:
https://youtu.be/XpG04Eytkms?si=zA0pb-oqDFLB-RTJ
She gave a well articulated speech and looks so beautiful (her famy looks so proud of her)
I love her earrings, great contrast with her blond mane.
All the others are perfectly attired for the occasion , including guests and Ms. Streep in particular.
Well done to all of them.
Thanks for the link P. the original. IMPRESSIVE.
DeleteVive l'Espagne.
@ Deadeggs
DeleteYou' re welcome!
Yes, impressive, to say the least.
The making of a Queen.
Vive l'Espagne👍👋
Oh, no black 😱
ReplyDeleteDear @ Deadeggs,
ReplyDeletethis is the link to King Felipe's words about his daughters.
You can see how proud he Is.

I'm shocked of how old ladies talk about sensitive young girls. Is this the way you break your daughters and granddaughters spirit?
