On Tuesday Queen Letizia of Spain attended the International Journalism Awards in Madrid wearing a scintillating suit that nailed one of autumn’s biggest fashion trends.

The fashion-forward royal is one of the chicest aristocrats on the planet, and her style often encompasses an aesthetic similar to the Duchess of Sussex’s: sleek silhouettes, crisp tailoring and plenty of neutral ensembles that capture the ‘quiet luxury’ aesthetic.

For her latest outing, she delighted fashion fanatics in a fiery suit approved by editors and influencers alike for 2023.
