On Wednesday Queen Letizia of Spain inaugurated the ARCO Art Fair 2024 - Spain’s International Contemporary Art Fair which, since its creation, has been one of the main contemporary art market platforms.
The stylish queen has an ultra-refined, seriously elegant fashion agenda - from Meghan Markle-approved styling hacks to fashion-forward oversized tiaras, her style epitomises modern royal sophistication.
For her recent outing, the fashion-forward Queen nailed monochromatic dressing and wore the heeled shoes that are a 2024 must-have.

Taking her ensemble from quintessentially classic to cool-girl chic, she layered with the Adolfo Dominguez cross-pieces top - an avant-garde sleeveless top with a criss-cross style design and material draping from the hem.
Drawing our eyes away from her buttery yellow and white top for just a moment, we spotted her ulta-chic black heels with a pointed toe and slingback design.

Dating back as far as the 1940s, it was catapulted into the spotlight by Marylin Monroe in The Seven Year Itch in 1955 when paired with the white dress in her famous 'windswept' photograph. From a design point, Coco Chanel undeniably put the silhouette firmly on the map with her iconic two-tone block heels.
Fast-forward to the 21st century and the classic shoe has been reinvented time and time again by some (perhaps, the majority) of the world's most coveted brands.
Recently, celebrities from Hailey Bieber to Zoe Kravitz, and social media's most stylish influencers have revived them for right now (if you haven't seen Gucci's kitten heels or Saint Laurent's wine-red stilettos, where have you been?)
