It's a pur speculation, but why not ?

Who does know? On Monday we will see the dress, if she repeats or has one new.

I believe that the red dress is very difficult to repeat. When a person causes so many admiration and impact with a dress, it is very difficult to return to take it in another act, because always it will seem that you have some intention on dressing it. Probably when more time passes turn it to dressing.

I think sash and tiara will ruin the spectacular look of the red gown. I hope to see all the ladies (including the sisters of the King) in new gowns .

Letizia seems to have cut her hair. For what I can see it looks good, with some layers and maybe some highlights.

Her outfit is recycled, the same she's used to the Easter mass in April

IMO, a closed jacket (as she had during the Easter mass) looks better than an open one... unless of course, she can no longer do so

[adelaide]

Today, The princess looks very good, and I think too that she has cutted a little bite her hair or may be her brushing is absolutly perfect.

[fanletizia]

It is the second event where the jacket of Princess of Asturias is open...

[micas]

Is open because she can't close him any more... just after may she gona be capable to close him.... eh eh eh!
