    Lovely, even lovelier without the bows, but is very nice. The king as usual is pure male elegance

    The K & Q are a stunning couple and look fabulous in their black tie outfits. Really like the dress with a simple sleeveless top to offset the full skirt with fun bow details. The K looks better than any James Bond I’ve ever seen! Also really like the one shoulder red dress on the woman recipient.

    What a beautiful dress, which suits Letizia so well. I adore the whimsy of the bows.
    But I'm disappointed that she is wearing it at night, when black is so hard to appreciate; it fades into obscurity unless some sparkly luxe fabric is used. I think this dress is seen at its best during daylight hours. Lyra

      A clue
      The men are all wearing bow ties..A black tie affair. The previous wearing was also at the PDAsturias awards...an evening event.

      @Lyra: it is easy to find videos of this event. To judge if black works it is better to look at movement. Photos do not serve this dress right, of course. It is beautiful.

      00:58 I love your whimsical expression! I think if I owned this dress I’d wear it morning noon and night!

  6. I love photo No 5, the way the King cannot take his eyes off his Queen. How we all wish our partners look at us this way after so long!. I hope this comment is not inappropriate to some ! The Queen has worn this dress before, in the flesh I would think it is more enticing, its hard to make out its interesting features, with black color. Her black shoes look good.
    What I do love is the gorgeous diamond bracelet, oh divine! Her large diamond earrings are stunning, lovely to see a rewear of both these incredibly jewel pieces.

      In the other pictures King Felipe smiled a lot too. The winners of the awards are smiling too. They had all a good time.
      The 2 ladies on pic. N° 2 are also wearing beautiful dresses : both with assymetric draping on the sleeves and hem.

    How superb. I find this an incredibly feminine style and it’s a superb style for Letizia. Would be beautiful in any colour I think. Her beautiful arm muscles are reminding mine to start working out!

      Yes, but Audrey Hepburn had most of the time a short hairstyle.
      And when her hair was longer she wore a ballerina bun on the back of her head.

    This event must mean a lot to the Spanish royals, so that Q. Letizia decided to wear her big diamond earrings and the beautiful diamond bracelet.

    Superbe mais il faut avoir une taille de guêpe pour porter ce modèle

      Taille de guêpe is a great new expression to add to my French colloquialisms. Thanks Froufrou

    This lady knows how to turn up the volume when necessary. She is gorgeous. Hair and makeup perfect. Dress and jewelry..showstoppers.! Letizia reigns.

    Wonderful to see Letizia wearing the spectacular Cartier bracelet that once belonged to queen Victoria Eugenie. I also like the lady in the fluffy blue gown with the cheeky red shoes, a very subtle, artistic look.
