On June 5, 2025, Queen Letizia of Spain chaired the annual board meeting of the Residencia de Estudiantes (Student Residence) in Madrid. Founded in 1910 by the Junta para Ampliación de Estudios, the Residencia is jointly overseen by Spain’s Minister of Education and Vocational Training and the Minister of Science and Innovation. Queen Letizia is Honorary President of Student Residence Foundation (Fundación Residencia de Estudiantes).
The Residencia de Estudiantes is one of Madrid’s most prominent cultural centers, hosting concerts, conferences, and exhibitions. The institution aims to complement university education by fostering an intellectual environment and a sense of community among students. In 2015, it was awarded the European Heritage Label by the European Union in recognition of its important role in Europe’s cultural and intellectual history.
I have less and less sympathy for oversize clothing.
ReplyDeleteHa ha, an excellent way to put it and I’m on your team for this ! - Mary
Deleteoversized suits really dont work for her petite size!
ReplyDeleteI don't mind the color of the pant suit but imho both the jacket and pants look a
ReplyDeletesize too big.Cate.
My thoughts as well. Maybe in person it looks better?
DeleteThis pantsuit is way too big for Letizia. She is literally swamped by too much fabric. It looks like she took one of Felipe's suits and just shortened the sleeves and pant hems. I assume it was designed to be baggy but it's not attractive IMHO. But, I do love the beautiful sage colour and the smile on Letizia's face in the first two pictures is radiant. She looks so happy here.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful Queen but this suit is really too big.
ReplyDeleteI think the clothes are too boh for her.

Oh, my, this outfit is NOT flattering. It is 3 sizes too large and baggy. She is "lost" in boring, bland fabric. The buttons' placement make her look wider. I hope it gets given away quickly!
ReplyDeleteThe suit is not 3 sizes too large. It is exactly her size, and designed to look this way. I don't care for the volume on both pieces, but that is the current style. I will never care for oversized double-breasted jackets. I think volume on either bottom or top, not both, looks the best.
DeleteYes 15:58, you are right "designed to look this way".
DeleteBut acknowledging that it is trendy, we can still say "I don't like it", avoiding to say "it is awful or similar".
Jolie couleur de cet ensemble en lin que je vois trop ample tant au niveau du blazer que du pantalon ; à mon avis, son allure aurait été bien meilleure avec plus de structure !
ReplyDeleteLa reine a une très belle chevelure, qui croît sainement.
ReplyDeleteConcernant sa tenue, j’aime la couleur du tailleur-pantalon.
Cependant, je n’affectionne ni les chaussures, ni le design oversize qui ne sied pas du tout à cette reine.

No, no and no! This suit is much too big for her petite frame. Nice color though.
ReplyDeleteDiese so wunderschöne Königin und ich frage mich manchmal, warum sieht man keine der Damen endlich auch mal in "PERUVIAN CONNECTION" das ist eine Marke zum niederknien so schön. Davon würde ich bevorzugt, die Königin Letizia, die Erbgroßherzogin Stefanie und Prinzessin Marie sehen wollen. Hier ist es mir noch nie aufgefallen, es ist feine Qualität und hebt sich wirklich von all den immer wieder auftretenden Labels hier ab. -Dorothe- https://www.peruvianconnection.com/de-eu?srsltid=AfmBOopDcTSuB11U5iokdR66JsumZcUJ9snDad8wCUynYQ1ZL3ENovXI
ReplyDeleteI have never ever understod these pig, oversize pantsuits 😳
ReplyDeleteOh dear! Did we lose Letizia somewhere?
ReplyDeleteLuna
Yes--she's somewhere inside this suit! Janet
DeleteUh oh! Queen Letizia does trouser suits so well but this one is not for her. I can deal with the trousers but the jacket is dreadful. I know this is a current style but very few women can pull it off. I think the jacket could use a some tailoring as it is too wide--it can still be boxy but as it is here, its sloppy boxy. I think the color is good and I like paired with the black top.
ReplyDeleteJanet
Totally over-sized once again! So unflattering for Queen Letizia.
ReplyDeleteI love the color of the pantsuit, but the size and baggy look is a no. Not attractive at all, very unflattering.
ReplyDelete"flattering" is not a current concern for designers....
DeleteLooks terrible!!!
