Trends may be fleeting, but Queen Letizia of Spain knows just how to ensure her wardrobe is ever timeless. On Friday, King Felipe, 55, and Queen Letizia, 50, stepped out to preside over the act of the delivery of employment dispatches and appointments to the new officers of the Army at the General Military Academy in Zaragoza. For the event, Letizia opted for an ivory concoction, perfect for the sun-drenched Spanish summer.
The royal wore a white sleeveless blazer jacket completed with a narrow belt, zip detailing, and lapels, teamed with a coordinating midi skirt. The set, by Felipe Valera, was carefully coupled with Furla’s ‘Metropolis White Leather Shoulder Bag’ and some nude slingback pumps (how very Kate Middleton) by Isabel Abdo Shoes.
The mother-of-two wore her raven hair slicked back into a low ponytail and showcased a radiant beauty blend for the jam-packed day. A blanket of jewels courtesy of Gold & Roses infused her pristine attire with a hint of sparkle.

Fresh. Love that she went sleeveless,” one wrote, as another said: “Fantastic summer look for an official event. See folks, royals can wear sleeveless clothes and still be appropriate.” A third agreed, commenting: “So stylish. This sleeveless suit is perfection,” and a fourth noted: “Looooove this blazer/skirt combo!”

Leonor looked elegant in a white and black polka dot top and skirt co-ord by Spanish label, Barey, which once again we can picture the Princess of Wales wearing herself. The set featured a high neckline, sash detailing and a whimsical yet modest fit.

Speaking at an awards ceremony in Girona, Catalonia, earlier this year, the future Spanish queen said: "I have just finished high school and I am about to start a new stage with a period of military training. I am happy because I know how much the Spanish value our armed forces . . . it is an important moment in my life and I feel very excited and determined to continue learning and giving my best effort."
