Queen Letizia put her most fashionable foot forward as she joined her husband, King Felipe of Spain for a special engagement on Wednesday.
The Spanish royals stepped out in Madrid to visit The Tyranny of Cronos exhibition, where their portraits by renowned photographer Annie Leibovitz are on display.
Looking divine in a sculpted scarlet ensemble, Queen Letizia, 52, chose to recycle her vibrant red Carolina Herrera suit, first worn in 2023 at Zarzuela Palace.

On previous occasions wearing the striking red suit, the Spanish monarch had chosen to pair it with a white, high-neck blouse underneath. Yet on Wednesday, Queen Letizia gave the co-ord an entirely new sartorial spin, layering with a nude tank top that blended with her skin tone.

"What a joy to see the beautiful queen in this fashionable red tailoring, she is stunning!" commented a fan on Instagram. "The shirt under the jacket looks like a total illusion," added another.

In the portraits, Letizia looks breathtaking in a black strapless gown by Spanish courtier Cristóbal Balenciaga, with ruched detailing across the bodice and an A-list style skirt.
