This one is not to my liking - too flamboyant...
Really? I remember some outfits from this year, that were definetly dominating her...

Queen Sofia hardly gets it completely wrong, ever. She wears "uniform": professional, timeless, more or less same hairdo for ages, with a personal style (eg Xmas Tree-like jewellery) that people can like or dislike but that doesnt affect or dominate the appearance. Queen Sofia has achieved that when people talk about her its about the event and what she was doing there, not about how she looked or what she was wearing. For a woman, thats the ultimate form of respect, substance beating the shallowness of fashion and style. Very much like her daughter Elena, Sofia is not a beauty, especially not among today's generic or ever-changing faces but manages to captivate with personality or character.
It doesnt need designer clothes to have the media talking about what Letizia is wearing. They dont talk about much else.Neither event or style has been talked much in the press, simply because she is an old lady, not much interest out there. If Letizia showed up in Valentino coutures or Oscar de La Renta clothes like her MIL, you think the media wouldn't be talking about her foregin designer clothes, her extravagant style ?

Sofia's choices are always classic and good quality style and a good example that there is no need for designer clothes in order to achieve that.
It's not valid to say she didn't wear designer clothes. It might be able to achieve to what you said, however it's not Sofia, she did wear lots of foreign designer clothes.
She probably spent more money on clothes than other European queen consorts.
I dislike some of the outfits myself (especially the pyjama wear) but still find them always appropriate, dressed to the occasion and nothing that would be commented on in the usual style or fashion magazines, not even in Hola!
I dislike this dress unlike the previous ones either... It looks so so at first sight but the fashion isn't perfect for Sofia as opposed to the color. She overdid with the necklaces again; one of them is definitely enough..Queen Sofia attending the Pascua Militar

I never said Sofia didnt wear I dont believe a second this is true, especially when looking to Sweden.
I like this dress and the colour although I'm not keen on this drabby coloured shawl with the dress. One of her black shawls would have looked nicer imo.Queen Sofia attending the Pascua Militar
