King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia of Spain are making a State Visit to Egypt from September 16 to 19, at the invitation of President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi. On September 17, 2025, the King and Queen took part in a floral tribute at the Monument to the Unknown Soldier and at the tomb of President Sadat in Cairo. King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia were then officially received by the President of the Arab Republic of Egypt, Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, and the First Lady, Entissar Amer El-Sisi, at Al-Ittihadiya Palace (Heliopolis) in Cairo.
Queen Letizia held a separate meeting with the First Lady of Egypt, Entissar Amer El-Sisi, to discuss areas of shared work and common interest. Finally, the King and Queen attended a luncheon hosted by the President and First Lady at the Al-Ittihadiya complex. On this occasion, Queen Letizia wore a white guipure dress by The 2nd Skin Co.
A lovely dress per se but there's too much volumne in
ReplyDeletethe skirt section for my liking.

I respectfully disagree she looks amazing. And different. Good not to have the same outfit in multiple colours all at high prices. LRB
DeleteAgree!
DeleteThat was my first thought as well - we don't often see the fit and petite Letizia in such a wide skirt. Narrower shaped outfits are usually her style and they look good on her. Still, the dress itself is beautiful.

Beautiful dress. Is it fashion among the queens and princesses to wear white lace dresses ? Princess Charlene wore a white guipure dress on the last pic nic of the season in Monaco and now Queen Letizia is wearing one too. The only things I do not like very much are the length and width of the skirt (Letizia). Or the uneven hemline (Charlene). The fabric is already busy enough so I think a smaller skirt will do too. Now it looks so heavy. In the meantime Princess Charlene played Golf in another white lace dress by Elie Saab made of "floral embroidered tulle". I prefer the one by Elie Saab because it looks less heavy. It is late in the Summer season to wear so many white lace dresses. Lucky for them the weather in Egypt and Monaco stays longer warm and sunny. With a bit of luck they still can wear their white lace dresses during the second half of September and in the month of October. Otherwise the dresses will be put away until the Spring of 2026.
ReplyDeleteLove it.

I love this white dress on Letizia. I particularly the full skirt which isn’t so commonly seen these days, but always incredibly flattering (not to mention, fantastic to twirl in if the opportunity arises!).
ReplyDeleteAbito molto bello, ma la gonna così ampia non dona alla fisicità di Letizia. Forse un tacco alto avrebbe aiutato, ma a quanto pare non può più indossarli.

ReplyDeletePerfect for this Arabic State Visit!
You mean Egyptian. Egyptians are not ethnically Arabs — in spite of Egypt denomination as an “Arab State”. Just like Iranians, they are not Arabs.
DeleteBeautiful dress,though it seems to engulf QL,due to her amazing slim build. Maybe a bespoke slimmer version of the dress might have been a more flattering look.
ReplyDeleteLowri.
Absolultely. Tailoring really makes a difference and this look just overwhelmes her.
DeleteI agree. Proportion is so important. Lyra
DeleteAgree with Cate. This very elegant dress would have looked even better with a little less skirt. But this is one of Queen Letizia's best outfits.
ReplyDeleteThe dress has a beautiful structure, I just feel that the petite Letizia looks a bit "drowned" in it.

Superbe robe mais avec une jupe légèrement plus courte et surtout moins ample, Letizia aurait plus d'allure !
ReplyDeleteLacey white dresses look too much like wedding gowns. Not my favorite look.
ReplyDeleteI do think this is a beautiful dress but it overwhelms her small frame. I think it would have worked better with a high heel, but unfortunately those days are in the past.
ReplyDeleteThis dress is very shapely and suits the Queen, its very attractive, the skirt has nice swish on movement. I like the design and pattern of the fabric. Her shoes and clutch, are a good color.
ReplyDeleteNot a good dress for Letizia, and wearing white while laying a wreath at the monument of the unknown soldier seems a faux pas to me.
ReplyDeleteThere is not such monument in Spain, so she (they) was there in a diplomatic way only. Also, white can be mourning in a Catholic Country.
DeleteWhite is associated with mourning, particularly in Southern Europe and Latin America. So while some might interpret white as a gesture of peace or solemnity, others could see it as a respectful nod to mourning customs.
DeletePerfect for this occasion.
