On April 23, 2026, King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia of Spain attended the presentation ceremony of the 2025 Miguel de Cervantes Prize awarded to Mexican writer Gonzalo Celorio at the University of Alcalá in Alcalá de Henares. The King and Queen presented the 2025 Miguel de Cervantes Prize in Literature in the Spanish Language, awarded by the Ministry of Culture, to Mexican writer Gonzalo Celorio.
The day before, the King and Queen presided over a luncheon at the Royal Palace of Madrid for representatives of the literary world on the occasion of the presentation of this award, which was first granted in 1976 to Jorge Guillén. Since then, 51 authors have received the prize. For the occasion, Queen Letizia wore a blue midi dress by Carolina Herrera.











Beautiful dress! The fit, the color, the cute little sleeve detail - it's the perfect springtime dress. The little floral bag is a cute addition. Queen Letizia has got to have a great jewel box but she doesn't seem to like to wear alot of jewelry. IMO, this dress would be perfect for a statement brooch or necklace. Lovely spring look overall.
ReplyDeleteLetizia has not jewelry at all, most pieces disappeared when the dictatorship...there are only about 10 pieces...and Queen Sofía has private things.
DeleteTrès jolie robe lavande originale aux manches nouées !
ReplyDeleteI love the gorgeous periwinkle blue colour of this dress. The sleek fit highlights Letizia's model figure and the sleeves with the bow ties make a very simple style more interesting. The beautiful multi-colour flower print handbag looks great against the solid colour of the dress. CH rarely misses the mark.
ReplyDeleteI agree CH truly knows how to design
DeleteAgreed! And kudos to the King in an absolutely perfected tailored outfit.
DeleteRien n est plus chic que la sobriété
ReplyDeleteLovely colour dress. And the king ...wow! He is perfectly fitted in his attire.
ReplyDeleteAgain monochromic and pale outfit on the Queen. Nothing special, not even the sleeves. The printed handbag is a mismatch. She didn't even bother changing her shoes. On the other hand, the wife of Gonzalo Celorio also wore pale and monochromic dress. But those earrings, necklace and shawl (and even her glasses) made her whole outfit much more interesting.
ReplyDeleteLess is more. Well done queen Letizia.
ReplyDeletePERFECT!!!!
ReplyDeleteI don't particularly like the color and hate the sleeves. Just okay.
