On April 28, 2026, Queen Letizia received a delegation representing the members of the recently established Carlos I Chair of Public Policy, as well as a group of experts from the Legislative Observatory on Rare Diseases and Orphan Drugs, which is marking its fifth anniversary, at the Zarzuela Palace in Madrid. She then received a delegation from the Rare Diseases Association “Más Visibles”.

We understand why Queen Letizia has been forced to ditch her heels but why has she stopped wearing jackets? Once again, as last week, this is a nice enough outfit but looks like something you would wear for a casual lunch. At both events, almost every other person male or female is wearing a jacket and, therefore looks more business like
ReplyDelete@Annie, full respect for your attitude to and opinion about jackets for women. But just to show how differently it can be viewed: I hate most of them, them, especially "serious" masculine jackets "copied" from men's fashion. It is a pity if exactly this copy of businesslike-ness would be valid for women too ... this is at least how I see it :-)
DeleteI have noted lots of comments in the past few years that HM Q Letizia is less covered up than others at events. I can’t help but think, as a woman of a certain age myself, she has probably hit a period of life where she feels much warmer than she used to and needs to wear cooler clothing. I am fully aware of the Queen’s age of 53, but perimenopause strikes when it wants to!
DeletePossibilities: it’s too warm for a jacket, she feels more comfortable when working not to wear one, she doesn’t want to. She had a lovely periwinkle blue suit on recently. She’s inviting them to her palace. It’s quite normal that we who host dress more casually when we are chez nous and others coming do their best with the dress code but wear more than us. All this is normal and no problem. I love seeing her with her sleeves rolled up ready to work. I get hot easily so I also would choose this outfit.
DeletePer non parlare delle maniche arrotolate...
DeleteI don't see that wearing a jacket looks automatically more businesslike - or vice versa, that you have to wear a jacket over a shirt if you want to look businesslike. Depends on the jacket - and depends on the non-jacketed outfit.
DeleteCute casual work outfit. Nothing too exciting but I do love her shoes!
ReplyDeleteLes rayures sont tendance cette année ; Letizia les a choisies judicieusement de couleur lilas qui se combine à merveille aussi bien avec le bleu-marine que le noir !
ReplyDeleteI love stripes of all kinds. They are a classic pattern. I like the way Letizia rolled up the sleeves and tucked in the top making it look more stylish. The neckline is very unusual.
ReplyDeleteI like this blouse, which Letizia also wore last September.
ReplyDeleteOpen-necked casual shirts can easily look dishevelled at the neck with aloose unbuttoned collar -- but this neckline is particularly neat. It balances the volume of the fabric with a clean simple edge, adding just enough structure to make this casual design suitable for business daywear. To my eye, this less formal design makes Letizia look more relaxed too - as does the delicate colour. Lyra
Excellent sleeves rolled up working look for a queen who seems to get deeply into the subjects she supports. I’m sure her journalistic training has offered much help to many organisations
ReplyDelete女王陛下は何気ない服をいつも上品に着こなします。
ReplyDelete私はいつも思うのですが、スペインの人たちは自分に何が似合うかを良く知っていますね。
私は昔マドリードを旅した時、女性も男性も素敵な人が多かった思い出が残っています。
The sleeves rolled up is just what this shirt needs to be loose but not too formless or simply big. Well made by Letizia.
ReplyDeleteShe is showing a lack of respect to her guests by dressing down, is that what she thinks they deserve? Rem
ReplyDelete@18:09, what are you talking about? you seem to have a special dislike if you call this "dressing down", only in order to blame Letizia for lack of respect.
DeleteIt would be inconsiderate and disrespectful to the guests to overwhelm them by showing up dressed in clothes and jewelry that most of them cannot afford. If you look at the guests, the ladies are dressed in simple, unpretentious clothes, suitable for a business environment and the same can be said for the men. Seeing the Queen wearing clothes that they themselves could afford makes the ladies feel confortable and at ease. Well done, Letizia
DeleteRolled-up sleeves for the queen of Spain? Too casual, in my opinion, queen Sofia would never have appeared in public like this. The blouse is pretty but can easily be altered.

@Virginia, this is not classic rolled up sleeves, it is folded. And comparisons again ... why, who needs to dress exactly the same way as her mother-in-law - or for that matter, as anyone else?
DeleteI don't like how she wears this blouse. If she cannot wear it like it is supposed to be worn (see the model) better choose another blouse where the sleeves must not be rolled up. Dressed like she is here is O.K. for her free time, not to receive people and not business like at all. If it is already too warm, she could wear a simple dress in a light fabric and a plain color, not too long. Since she is wearing flat shoes she didn't adapt the length of her dresses. She is wearing the same length as before when she wore high heels. In a dress like that she would look O.K. to receive people in a business style for women. She doesn't have to buy new dresses for that because she has this style of dress already in her dressing room.
