On June 20, 2025, King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia of Spain attended the closing ceremony of the 2024/2025 academic year at the College of Europe, held in celebration of the institution’s 75th anniversary. The event took place at the Royal Municipal Theatre of Bruges, Belgium.
Prior to the ceremony, King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia held an informal meeting in the Foyer Hall with Spanish students of the College, as well as with students attending Spanish classes organized by the Instituto Cervantes.
The ceremony began with a musical performance of Joaquín Rodrigo’s Concierto de Aranjuez, performed by Silvia Márquez and Francesc Torres. Students from over 50 nationalities study at the College of Europe. The most represented countries include France, Spain (with more than thirty students), Italy, Belgium, and Germany.
The College of Europe has a campus located in the historic center of Bruges, consisting of several heritage buildings dedicated to administration, classes, and student services. It also operates seven student residences across the city. In addition, the College has campuses in Natolin (Warsaw, Poland) and Tirana (Albania).
I love Carolina Herrera designs, she hits the mark on this dress. Feminine, nice sleeves suggesting alittle balloon shape. Fit in proportion to her size.
ReplyDeleteNow the wide long pants, not the best look, hopefully it will end soon and they can all have them altered for a nice fit. Gosh this king is handsome and his clothes fit perfect all the time,
This soft, feminine look with the harmonious colours is much more flattering than the trouser suits the queen seems to fancy. I never realised that the king is so tall, but this photo makes it very visible.

I also love dresses - I often wear dresses myself - but then I think beauties like Letizia, Mary and Catherine can wear everything and look good. If the pantsuits don't have these current very wide legs they can be elegant.
DeleteThis dress is lovely. The colour is great, and the styling flattering and elegant. The length is fine for the lower heeled shoes Queen Letizia is forced to wear. There are some lovely dresses among the students in the final photo
ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely, pretty and elegant dress. I like the interesting sleeve features. The color is beautiful. Very feminine and elegant.
ReplyDeleteYes again a lovely dress. We are spoilt this morning with nice dresses.
DeleteTrès féminine cette robe avec des manches originales ; j'aime bien le style des talons bas qui conviennent à merveille à Letizia - Ah, non, non pour la ministre Pilar Alegria qui me déçoit beaucoup - Quant au roi, toujours très élégant !
ReplyDeleteVous êtes certaine que c'est la ministre Pilar Alegria dans ce costume blanc ? Je pense que c'est une autre dame. Elle ne ressemble pas du tout à Pilar Alegria, qui est plus grande. Pilar Alegria a un plus beau visage.

DeleteC'est vrai, vous avez raison mais ma déception vient du fait que j'ai tellement l'habitude de voir l'élégance de madame la ministre que je me suis trompée de personne pour donner un avis !
This is a nice and elegant dress, I cannot say why I don't really like it on Queen Letizia, but I don't. Maybe my eyes are accustomed to proportions in high heels with this slim cut and this dress length. The visible part of the legs of very slim women look somehow ... well, too slim, with this length. Better the length just under the knee. I also miss a necklace with this very high closed neckline. - Unlike most of you, I like her very much in trouser suits, also with wide legs, if not extremely wide.
ReplyDeleteI see the length being just a few inches too long which just exaggerates her thinness, and the proportion looks off. I do like her in trouser suits if they are tailored to her.
