      For Letizia, a necklace is almost "more" - but what a fabulous minimalism.

    The queen looks stunning, this blue strapless gown looks fantastic. The single strand pearl necklace is a wonderful size sits beautifully, the size of the pearls are simply gorgeous. Beautiful quality Pearl necklace. Her earrings look good. They work well.

    This is a neat look, and the pearl necklace looks great with the black dress. Having said that, I cannot help but get Marge Simpson vibes from this, and that makes me chuckle.

    Gosh this king can really wears suits, so perfectly tailored. The queen looks lovely in her tight dress. A shame the pendant of her necklace does not show. Great looking couple.

    Belle Letizia.

    La robe aurait été tout aussi belle si elle était plus longue.

    Charmant couple, qui se bonifier avec le temps.

    It's an OK dress but really nothing special. The basic black coupled with a very plain simple style is boring. I'm glad Letizia jazzed it up with the pearl necklace because it brings the outfit up a notch.

      @Anon 14:51: There is a big difference between "it is boring" and "I am bored". This glorious pearl necklace is part of the Joyas de Pasar collection of the Spanish crown, it goes back to Felipe's great grandmother Queen Ena. If you are uninterested in things like this, it is completely all right, but then I would maybe choose "celebrity fashion" for more excitement of the kind you like and not royal fashion. The jewellery is integral part of what these women wear, especially when Letizia, who does not wear much jewellery, decides to wear this fabulous necklace to the simple ("boring") black dress. Here you have your notch.

      Yes that was my first thought, perhaps because the fabric is dull as in does not reflect any light

      Anónima 16:21, has contestado a la Sandrita con gracia y sentido común, pero te equivocas con el origen del collar. Son las "37 perlas rusas" de Mª de las Mercedes, la 1ª esposa de Alfonso XII. Ena escogió el collar para formar parte de las Joyas de Pasar, pero no era suyo, sino mucho más antiguo.
      Letizia está preciosa, elegantísima, sabiendo que una sola joya importante se lleva el protagonismo sobre un lienzo absolutamente minimalista.

      Disagree entirely. It’s a nice elegant outfit fit for the occasion but does not begin to compare with the grandeur and opulence of the State banquet nor the beauty of the gowns

    Queen Letizia knows how to wear jewelry. Better one beautiful piece on a simple dark dress than a 3 strand pearl necklace + a brooch + big earrings + a big diamond bracelet,.... At least this necklace is an eye catcher. To those (royals or not) who are wearing too much jewelry, I don't even look anymore at all the different jewelry pieces they are wearing. Their jewelry doesn't draw my attention any more, but this beautiful necklace worn by Queen Letizia it draws my attention immediately.

      I agree with what you are saying. One beautiful statement piece is elegant and elevates a simple gown. Several big pieces can end up a distraction.

    Sleek and elegant - a hairstyle to match the simplicity of her dress and jewelry. She gets it right almost every time.
