Again a recent recycle dress, to me not the best choice for a princess who one day is going to become a Queen. !

So... do you say that a Queen must be valued based on her clothes??
Bravo! What an intelligent argument!

yeah, you're right, but you know, we expect too much from her, because She is sooo BEAUTIFUL, she really can look far better than she really looks these days, she has done an amazing appereances, and now some times she is just toooooooooo conservative and it doesn't suit her at all, she has an increible body and face and she comes out and everybody is expecting that she looks her best and she lately doesn't, and I dare to say this because I really like princess Letizia and I want her to look beautiful (maybe I'm very demanding), but She has to take the best from her and it seems that she doesn't want.

Anyway I love her for being like she is, she dresses well for her position, but she can improve, no doubt about that.:flowers:

I hadn't really thought of it that way. She really did set the bar pretty high when she was first engaged. The wonderful, timeless suits, and those dresses at the Danish wedding (WOW!!!). Compared to those days, she does look very basic these days. And yes, I do believe that she could be stunning everyday, you're right, with the face and the body to match, personally, not a whole lot of other princesses can come close (not to mention, the hottest prince alive holding your hand). I do love Letiza, then and now, and do agree that she well put together for her events and position, but would love to see that "Red-Dress-Letizia" come out to "play" from time to time!
 
It's hardly a frivolous trip, from what I understand some of the events are quite serious in nature and therefore require slightly more sober and professional clothes.

Letizia is appropriately dressed from what I've seen so far.

I, unlike many, love the fact that she recycles her clothes -- like the rest of us. The Spanish Royals are not in the same "money" bracket as say the Dutch or the British. To have a new outfit every day would be silly and I believe a slap to her people. I believe that the recycling is done on purpose. Letizia does not get a personal income from the state as does Maxima from Holland. I am looking into the internet to see if I can get the actual "salaries" of all the Crown Princes and will send on. I know there is quite a BIG difference from county to country. So maybe Letizia and Felipe use their money not only on clothes -- plus I love her hair style on her. Not many other princess I can say that about.

Who knows, seeing how close those two are, maybe Felipe asks her to wear a certain favorite outfit some days -- I know my husband always did. I would love doing it!

I've just came back from the Cervates Institute, I took some pictures, but they are of poor quality. And I have no idea how to post them :ermm:. It was nice to see them, I stood maybe 2,5 meters from the princely couple.
 
I cannot believe Letizia's clothing on this trip - it's hit or miss!
She dresses so poorly - as if she has no money to spend at all.
She has got a great figure and a beautiful face - she is always well groomed. But, there is just something very cheap-looking about her clothing now.
And did she take just one pair of basic black peep-toe pumps with her - she is wearing them with everything!
Pre-Wedding - she looked fabulous but now she is always so disappointing.
She doesn't look good in girly, feminine frills --- her features are too strong. She needs to wear good quality classic outfits in lively colors. Splurge on some expensive accessories. Even Elena carries a Chanel purse.
And, please, wear some jewelry.
 
And what is worse is that she has all of that pamk, great jewelry, beautiful spanish and foreing designer outfits (other than Varela) like Adolfo Dominguez, Jesus del Pozo, Sant Laurent, Armani or Schlesser not to mention her shoes and purses, the best of her closet IMO, and nope, she just use the same outfits as the week before with only one pair of shoes for everything (or maybe are different but since she buys the same model by dozens, peep toes are in fashion?, let's get twenty pairs) and let's not go to the hair.

The First Lady looks way better being a much older lady than Letizia.

I think is time to give Varela a well deserve vacations

Oh and to those peep toes too, they have earned it!.
 
I loved the silver dress and the coat that went with it. But I was very concerned about how thin she looked in the black jacket and black and white skirt picture.

My take on Letizia is that she deliberately avoids being known as a fashion clotheshorse. I think she wants to be known for more than just wearing expensive and high couture clothes and being perfectly coiffed all the time. Many of us want to see her in these elegant, and costly outfits but unfortunately, this does not seem to be a priority for her.
 
What language do they speak while on this trip?

Spanish/Polish in serious events/serious talks related to both countries, English in more relaxed social events. It seems the tour guide of the palace/museum spoke English.

You have some good points here. But I don't think the first lady of Poland looked way better than Letizia. The first lady of Poland seems down-to-earth and charming, but she is not a clothes horse. Most of Letizia's clothes are not bad, just the clothes are not new to people who are interested at royals.
She looked very elegant in this black/white outfit, however the hair was a little too flat.

Very nice dress! For a second I was confused, I was questioning whether or not it was a different event with a different dress. But it's the same dress without the coat. I really liked the coat but after seeing these pictures, the dress looks really nice without it.
 
Chances are that no-one in Poland have seen Letizia's clothes before so recycled or not should be irrelevant. She is very appropriately dressed and represents her country very well. The world does not need any more royal clothes horses. Letizia emphasizes substance in her royal appearances. It is great to see her having her own agenda and that she and Felipe are representing Spain together.
 
Today in Polish TV in program "Good morning TVN" was a short material about P.Filipe and P.Letizia and their visit in Poland.
I saw their meeting with president Kaczynski and inauguration of the Institute Cervantes of Warsaw.
Reporters told also how popular couple F.& L. are in Spain and why.
P.Felipe is handsome, inteligent, well-educated and he's fantastic husband and father. P.Letizia is a normal women which became a princess and in Spain a lot of people admire her.
This couple tries live like a normal family. :flowers:
btw: during the Inauguration of the Institute Cervantes of Warsaw P. Felipe was talking Polish and he was really good in. Polish is quite complicated language but Felipe was talking fantastic.
 
Good to see Princess Letizia in purple, it looks really nice on her. And though my own crownprincess is giving me an overdosis of colours I think it is nice to see the Princess of Asturias in something other then the usual grey, beige, white (or any shade in between). Of course HRH could wear a potato-sack and still look gorgeous...

You mean Felipe actually speaks Polish or did he read from a note?

On another note, nice to see how the royal couple is welcomed/escorted by such high representatives of Poland (the president and the prime minister).

More on the Cervantes institute here. I wish they would open one in Amsterdam soon (and offer cheap courses of Spanish). Visit the website of the institute here.
