    I like the textured fabric and fringe of Letizia’s outfit, and her earrings are gorgeous.

      I agree. It’s such an elegant look for Q.L. (V.M.)

    Queen Letizia in a winter dress ? I love the monochromatic outfits of the other 2 ladies. One in white and one in blue. The sleeves of the blue blouse are a bit too wide and too long. Here you can see a fabric in the same blue but with a different structure for pants and blouse. I had a discussion the other day concerning the light blue outfit of queen Mathilde were the difference in structure could almost not be seen. The lady with the white pantsuit wears everything in white : suit, blouse, clutch, shoes. The trend continues.

    Lovely outfit but IMHO the skirt should be shortened at least 5 inches, omitting the "flair out" at the bottom. Now that QL wears the lower kitten heels, it might look better if the wider part of her calf showed. She has very shapely legs, but with only her very thin ankle showing, it makes her look very fragile.

      As you mention her calf muscle, it reminds me that with a lower heel her calf muscle will not be as prominent. The height of the heel changes the way our legs look, and why high heels make the leg look so attractive. I do wonder if Letizia will shorten some of her hems, or on occasion, wear her high heels for brief moments at the beginning of a ceremony, then change into lower heels as we saw her do not so long ago.

  10. The texture and style of this suit are lovely though I find the colour a little dull. Also, as the Queen has been forced to wear low heels due to her foot problems, she needs to have the skirt a little shorter. Otherwise it looks frumpy. Her hair is really lovely at this length.

    I disagree, Queen Letizia could wear different, flatter pumps with closed heels.
    These shoes are too “delicate” combined with a tweed dress and distract from the wintery look. I love those earrings.

  12. Il faut que je regarde de près la robe de Letizia pour aimer sa belle texture. Ses boucles d'oreilles me plaisent beaucoup !

    Pour moi la robe est trop longue par rapport aux chaussures.... du coup L semble tassée.

  14. Un vestido de tweed que le permite ir sin abrigo en una mañana muy fresca. Muy guapa, sencilla y chic. Su cabello es magnífico y los pendientes de perlas australianas elevan el look.
