Resuming her royal duties on Thursday, Queen Letizia of Spain headed to the AECC headquarters in Madrid, wearing the dreamiest dress from one of her favourite brands – Massimo Dutti. Looking beautiful in blue, the ever-stylish monarch recycled a floral frock for the occasion, which she previously wore in 2019 to the UNICEF Spanish Committee Awards.

Queen Letizia headed to a meeting at the AECC headquarters

Delivering a masterclass in accessorising, Letizia finished her desk-to-daywear ensemble with patent court shoes and silver jewellery. As for her hair and makeup, she wore her brunette tresses down in a sleek, straight style and opted for a natural and dewy complexion. Donning a face covering, she kept all focus on her eyes which were dusted in a pale pink shadow complete with a lick of mascara – flawless.

Navy is one of the monarch's go-to colours

With autumn just around the corner, navy seems to be Letizia's colour of the moment. On Tuesday she headed to a Cooperator's Day event at the Viana Palace alongside her husband, King Felipe VI. Dressed to impress in a recycled tweed midi from Zara, Letizia's checked frock featured a bardot neckline, short sleeves, and a waist-cinching navy belt. Completing her outfit with an envelope clutch bag and matching stilettos, the mum-of-two proved that when it comes to diplomatic dressing, she's a royal fashion icon.
