King Felipe and Queen Letizia of Spain are undertaking a three-day State Visit to China. On Wednesday, November 12, 2025, King Felipe and Queen Letizia were officially welcomed at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing by the President of the People’s Republic of China, Xi Jinping, and the First Lady, Peng Liyuan.
Queen Letizia, together with First Lady Peng Liyuan, visited the Demonstration Center for Services for Persons with Disabilities — the most specialized and comprehensive provincial center in China for people with disabilities. Afterwards, King Felipe and Queen Letizia attended a wreath-laying ceremony at Tiananmen Square in Beijing.
Carolina Herrera Floral Embroidered Coat
Utterly perfect.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful dress in a lovely colour. I think the coat is gorgeous but the belt and scarf kill it. I am sure it is bitterly cold in Beijing and the scarf may be necessary but the belt isn´t.
ReplyDeleteI agree entirely. The belt ruins this look. It is perfect on the model: structured, streamlined elegant. The belt takes it to frumpy territory.
DeleteI agree as well
DeleteInteresting that we have different ideas. For me the belt modernises the look and the Queen has such a perfect figure that it looks perfect on her.
DeleteLove the belt. It doesn’t “kill” anything, oh dramatic commenter. The cost is gorgeous both with and without.
DeleteCoat not cost
DeleteIt's interesting that both ladies are wearing almost the same style of dress and both look gorgeous. Both dresses have 3/4 length sleeves and full A-line skirts only the necklines differ. The pink and red compliment each other. The CH coat is really wild and amazing and certainly one of a kind. I like how the pink of the dress is found in the floral print of the coat to form an ensemble. I don't think I have ever seen a printed coat. I like it and It deserves high marks for originality.
ReplyDeletePerfection. A stunning coat and a beautiful dress. The Queen looks wonderful.
ReplyDeleteAgreed.
DeleteMESH
what a beautiful coat, the floral connects well with her pink dress and scarf
ReplyDeleteBoth Ladies look absolutely marvellous.
ReplyDeleteThey do!
DeleteBeaucoup de délicatesse dans le coloris de la robe, comme un léger pétale de rose. L'amplitude de la jupe est très raffinée, en corolle, donc florale aussi dans sa forme. Les escarpins et le sac parfaitement assortis ajoutent de l'élégance. C'est un style rétro qui fait penser aux ravissantes tenues des années 50.
ReplyDeleteLes pivoines brodées sont un joli clin d'oeil au pays, même si je les trouve un peu trop voyantes. Paloma.
Simplement Wouah

100% agree with everyone. Perfection. Looks cold!
ReplyDeleteQ. Letizia is wearing a beautiful dress although I'd prefer another type of pink like darker pink (old rose). I don't like the coat with the big flowers and the white shoes and white bag are not looking good with the dress and the coat. Gray accessories would have been excellent.
ReplyDeleteFirst lady Peng Liyuan is looking good in her burgundy dress and nude/pink coat. Her dark beige shoes look also very good with the color of her dress, she is a beautiful woman.
Her shoes and bag are both pink, not white.
DeleteIt was not visible on the pictures that they were pink. Nevertheless the color of her accessories were not a good choice (my opinion).
DeleteStunning!
ReplyDeleteI find the inside loop feature on the First Lady’s coat interesting. The ability to leave a wrap coat open but not falling open is clever. I like the queens choice of dress, however the pink shoes perhaps in a different shade of pink for contrast would of been nice too.
ReplyDeleteThere was another event in China:

Look parfait de la première dame ; son élégant manteau est très bien porté sur la robe ceinturée Bordeaux dont la jupe est ample !
ReplyDeleteI like all items individually, but I don´t think they go well together. It´s like several seasons combined in one outfit. The dress is best saved for spring (colourwise), the shoes with the slingback heel are summery and look odd with the long coat and especially the big scarf. I also think that the scarf is too pink for the pastel dress. Letizia still looks nice, and I like the fit and silhouette of what she´s wearing, but it´s quite a bit short of perfection.
ReplyDeleteFor me, this IS perfection. There are no rules for which shade of pink can be worn at which season. Rather, which shade suits the wearer. This is gorgeous on Letizia, each detail.
DeleteThis is a beautiful coat! The dress coordinates with it perfectly. I do think it is a little long, and I don't like the belt with it. It looks better without.
ReplyDeleteI like the dress and the coat,but the pink scarf is too stark,a softer pink might have complimented the pink in the print. We know QL can no longer wear high heels,but a coat this length with that amount of volume needs a rather a higher heel or a shorter length.
ReplyDeleteLowri.
I see differently Lowri. I think both dress and coat suit her right down to the hem, as they are, and that the shoes compliment them extremely well.
DeleteI like the coat but maybe with a few less flowers.
ReplyDeleteLetizia’s coat is interesting. I think I like it … not sure about the belt, though. Her pink dress looks to me more like something one would wear at Easter.

At Easter? In what Country? In China?
DeleteTo his/her/their defense, I think they mean the soft pink color is more conducive to spring (i.e. Easter time in the western world) when one usually wears soft shades of pink, yellow, mint green, etc. The correlation is not that hard to understand.
DeleteAnon 18:53...that must be in your country, in mine people wear any colours at any season, only that the fabric US thicker or shofter.
DeleteBoth ladies look stunning.
