If there's one person we are looking to for summer style inspiration, it's Queen Letizia. 

The Spanish Queen, 53, was a summer vision on Thursday, when she stepped out at the 15th anniversary of Ethic magazine at Ortega-Marañón foundation headquarters, in Madrid.

The gown in question was a dazzling aquamarine-hued Dadoria sheath dress from Hugo Boss, which she paired with her Carolina Herrera Victoria insignia satchel bag and Massimo Dutti kitten heel slingback pumps.

Meanwhile, she wore her trademark tresses down, blow-dried with soft curls at the ends. The elegant blue dress is a timeless one in Letizia's sartorial collection, with fans having seen the number first in March 2019, and then again in July 2021.

Letiza's winning summer sartorial streak

Since the temperatures have been heating up we have loved seeing the Queen of Spain's summer wardrobe. 

Another stand-out moment this month came when Letizia welcomed Pope Leo XIV to Spain.

For the occasion, the royal took a leaf from the Princess of Wales' book and wore a beautiful white dress by Self-Portrait.  Letizia invoked a special royal privilege called "privilège du blanc" - she is one of the few women allowed to wear white to meet the Pope, as she is Queen of a Catholic country.  

The gown in question is the royally loved brand's Taffeta Midi Dress, a version of which Kate appeared to wear while attending Wimbledon in 2025, only in an off-white hue.

Double curtsey

It wasn't just Letizia's stellar fashion prowess that caught fans' attention during the pope's visit.

During the welcoming ceremony, Letizia performed a rare double curtsy for the Pontiff, though traditionally, monarchs would kneel before him.

Letizia was joined by her husband, King Felipe, and their daughters, Princess Leonor, 20, and Infanta Sofia, 19.

Once again, Letizia looked resplendent, this time wearing a long-sleeved white A-lined gown by The 2nd Skin Co., which she first wore in 2015 during her state visit to Egypt.  Her accessories included a matching white belt, a white clutch, camel-colored slingback shoes, her signature Coreterno ring, and the Luzia earrings from Gold&Roses.
