I love this outfit. The suit is very well cut and the jacket is pure perfection. I disagree about the top: I prefer this grey than a coloured one

She wore no jewelry at all. Not even the tiny star earrings.

I think she looks just fine. It's certainly a lot better than one of Mette-Marit's "laundry day" outfits.....

I dislike the monochrome look, so a shot of color with the blouse/sweater or a nice lapel pin would have looked great. If Letizia is paring back on her jewelry nowadays, a jewel-toned accent color would be an alternative for that. Though for me, nothing can substitute for some bling!

I'm so with you on the bling.
And almost any color can go with gray. And a simple cheery lapel pin would really smarten up the outfit. But Spain's such a mess right now she must feel she's got to set the right "tone."

After seeing Corinna famous and polemic bracelet, she probably thinks that no bling at all is the most sensible option

I'm all about the judicious use of color and this is one outfit that just plain screams for a bit of brightness somewhere to enliven it. With her hair and complexion and nearly always flawless makeup, she can wear strong colors so well.

Big, clompy shoes and drab grey top. Hair isn't nice at all She looks sloppy.

I think the suit is fine, but like some suggested, a bright-colored top would have looked a bit better.

She could put a little more effort into how she appears without being all decked out. It's an honor, I would think, to be invited to an audience and meet someone from the SRF. Why not return that respect instead of looking like you remembered at the last minute you had a group of people waiting to meet you

She looked very nice but very minimalist.

Very bad. The suit looks too big to me, not just the trousers, but the jacket as well. And it looks like she forgot to put on a blouse, which would have somewhat hidden the ill fitting suit. No excuse for the ugly Minnie Mouse shoes.

She wore a professional suit, had a nice hair and makeup, looked neat overall. She probably wanted to look professional and minimalist at audiences, that was the effort she made IMO, thus I wouldn't call her not making any effort, whether one likes her clothes or style, it's a personal opinion. The V-neck top inside a suit is not my style, but it's everywhere now, I prefer a grey top over a bright color one (ex pink).

good point,
the grey & drab looking outfit is a bit of overkill, perhaps worn because of the recession and Ingaki business.
It would be good if she made an effort to look elegant and pretty when on official occasions.

I have to agree I think she looks fine neat and professional. I like her shoes they aren't the ugly platforms.

I don't really like Letizia's jacket, but apart from that, she looks great. I didn't really like her bag at first either, but when I saw it at another angle I thought that it looked nice. I agree with everyone who said she looks great in casual outfits. Overall her look today is IMO a good one.
