On January 9, 2025, King Felipe and Queen Letizia of Spain welcomed the Diplomatic Corps accredited in Spain, as they do every year, at the Royal Palace of Madrid. The Diplomatic Corps comprises a total of 126 resident embassies in the country and nearly 800 consulates, including 153 career consulates and over 600 honorary ones.
Additionally, another 49 countries are accredited to Spain but are based in cities such as Paris, London, Brussels. Furthermore, 42 international organizations have offices in Spain.
Such a strange outfit, as if the Queen grabbed something in a hurry, she can do better.
ReplyDeleteFashion choices, especially by public figures, can often be more deliberate than they seem.
DeleteHmmm I wish she’d chosen a softer top; the business styling of the collar / buttons although beautiful doesn’t pair well with the skirt. It’s a rare “dressing down” for her when she’s normally dressed pitch perfect for any public occasion.
DeleteTotally agree.
DeleteQueen dressed like an Amish lady, very conservative
ReplyDeleteThe majority of Amish communities are found in the U.S., sorry darling we don’t do that in Europe.
DeleteLOL.
DeleteThe Amish wish they could dress like that. I don't see the comparison.
DeleteAnon 16 50, the post says ‘like an Amish lady’ Makes no difference where she is or where the Amish are based. Your comment is rude
DeleteA very rare but definitive No from me for combining this (type of) shirt with a swishy long skirt.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you! Helena
Delete16:04 - I agree.
DeleteAgree !!
DeleteWe all have "off" days. This is definitely one for her.
ReplyDeleteHmmmmm, I like the outfit but it seems like a brooch or necklace would of blended the two pieces together and given a more finished look.
ReplyDeleteSuperbe association du chemisier blanc avec le très joli bleu de la jupe fluide que je vois quand même légèrement trop longue ; bon choix que les boucles d'oreilles pendantes composées de petits diamants/saphir !
ReplyDeleteThis white blouse stays only just that and gives a Cinderella impression.
ReplyDeleteThe white blouse looks like a school uniform shirt. It’s too plain and utilitarian for this formal event. Not one oh Queen Letizia’s better looks
DeleteAnnieM
But the King is very dashing!
ReplyDeleteAgree with the negative comments. I don't like the contrast of the white/cream blouse and the dark lilac skirt. But her earrings are very beautiful.
ReplyDeleteFelipe: "Are you ready to go?"
ReplyDeleteLetizia: "There's another reception today?! Oh shoot!"
And then she just grab whatever was at the front of the closet.
But, hey, we've all had those days.
17:40 made me laugh. Thank you!
DeleteNot formal enough for such an event! In recent months Queen Letizia is almost always dressed down no matter what the occasion in comparison to how she used to dress.
ReplyDeleteTrue!
DeleteThis is a daytime event. It is difficult to dress formally for this time of day. I think she is doing the best she can with the restrictions she faces. Most of her formal gowns are not appropriate for daytime events. She has a small collection of simple gowns and long skirts for the formal daytime events that Spain has.
DeleteAnche per me è un NO, perché non credo che questa gonna lunga e larga sia adatta alla sua fisicità.
ReplyDeletePerò gli orecchini sono belli.
Rossella 🖤
The outfit makes me think of that other skirt and shirt she wore on state visit to Italy. Next to King Felipe in his impeccable suit she looks a bit like someone of the household. This is a big no for me. She has so many beautiful dresses of which she could have chosen one to wear on a reception with the diplomatic corps.
ReplyDeleteGenerally I do appreciate Queen Letizia fashion choices.
ReplyDeleteBut I can’t stand this one.
Of course, the shirt is Intek park
In general, I like Queen Letizia's fashion choices.
ReplyDeleteBut I'm not so keen on this one.
Of course, the white shirt is a timeless fashion accessory.
But in this case, it doesn't work well with this type of skirt.
I understand the idea behind the look, but as I said, the skirt isn't well chosen.
It could have been shorter and perhaps more flared; also, the fabric could have been different, less flowing.
However, her husband, King Felipe, is elegant, as usual; a beautiful couple, who exude serenity.
