The one-shoulder dress is old, she´s worn it twice before, last time during the visit of Michelle Obama:

This is a classic case of "recession chic" - something old, something new, all looking fabulous together.

She knows every move of hers is being watched, and the naysayers will be looking for every opportunity to criticise. The last thing she will do is to wear expensive new clothes all the time.

Love the jacket and the one shouldered dress - great combo. She looked fab and lovely to see the pearl and diamond earrings returning.

Since the abdiction annoucement she has been spot on with her choices and very polished looking - a great future modern young Queen look

June 11, 2014 - Pant suit with a white top underneath.

Love the suit! Its tailoring is quite well made. I quite like that the top underneath is not plain. Hair looks lovely!

Professional and pretty. The hair pulled back looks nice with the outfit. It looks as if she is going to take her new (upcoming) role seriously. And if I may add, she has looked more and more confident/relaxed at events since Juan Carlos' announcement.

I'm not too crazy about her top, although it goes well with her blazer/jacket. I like the colour combinations used and I'm pleased to see a new hairstyle!

She's the former TV journalist turned princess who is set to become Queen of Spain within weeks. But Princess Letizia is famous for more than simply being the wife of the Spanish king-in-waiting.
The 41-year-old mother-of-two has also carved out a name for herself as a royal style icon and even, on one memorable occasion, managed to outshine the ultra-glamorous Carla Bruni.
Her current wardrobe of tailored sheath dresses, sky-scraping court shoes and eye-catching jewels is all a far cry from her early days as a newsreader, when she embraced the bland Armani suit and was rarely seen in public wearing anything else.

12 June: Princess Letizia wears a suit whilst visiting the Archaeological Museum in Madrid, Spain. I like the colour combination although am not a huge fan of her top or clutch:

The Duchess of Cambridge better watch out, there's a new royal poised to steal her style crown.
She may have only come to our attention a few short weeks ago, but Princess Letizia has already carved out a name for herself as a royal style icon, showcasing some serious fashion credentials on every single one of her royal engagements.
The 41-year-old mother-of-two's wardrobe of tailored sheath dresses, sky-scraping court shoes and eye-catching jewels is much more daring than the play-it-safe style of the former Kate Middleton.
Her choice of outfit at today's inauguration of the exhibition 'El Ultimo Viaje de la Fragata Mercedes' (The Last Voyage of the Frigate Mercedes) at the National Archaeological museum in Madrid was case in point.

I love the tailoring of the jacket and pants, but I don't care for the top or the clutch with it's animal print.

The suit looks so big on her, but I do like this style much better than the navy one she wore recently. Love these shoes so much more than the peep toe style she wears.

Letizia Ortiz was many things before her marriage to Felipe. "Frumpy" was not one of them.

It's becoming more and more difficult to see The Daily Mail as anything other than a mass-market comic strip.

I loved the junior navy suit as well, it looked terrific and the blouse added a touch of femininity without being fussy. A lovely "look".

Now to the beige/putty/neutral trouser suit. First off, Letizia is one of the rare women who really look good in neutral colours. However, I thought both the trousers the jacket were a little too big for her and while I liked the tunic top with it's wonderfully complimentary colour and style, I thought the slit down the front couldn't help but draw the eye to her bustline.

All in all, Letizia definitely does seem to be upping her game. It is not that she didn't have a wardrobe to die for that was the problem. It was what she chose to wear to specific engagements that often raised eyebrows but, that did not include evening wear because in that area she has pretty much aced it.

As to the Daily Fail reporting her being set to steal the Duchess of Cambridge's Style Crown . . . you have got to be kidding. Because the DM is only just catching up with the rest of Europe they are merely showing their ignorance. Catherine is a mere beginner in the style stakes whereas Letizia was a television frontperson, in an industry famed for it's shallow standards of "Perfection" before she even met the CP of Spain. Now, with ten years as a Crown Princess under her belt, she is perfectly groomed and dressed in her own inimitable style.

ps: I have to admit I love her penchant for pant suits. Besides being elegant they leave little chance for wardrobe malfunctions.

[Moonmaiden23]

I love this post MARG...every word. But especially your remarks about the DAILY FAIL and it's insistence on comparing every other Royal lady to the Duchess of Cambridge.

Letizia was an elegant and put together professional woman before anyone on the planet knew Kate's name except her friends and family!

Wow, do I agree with that. Getting worse then National Inquirer, Star, etc. Nothing but made-up scandal sheets.

I just wish she would lose those peep-toed shoes... Nit picking aside, she will be a beautiful Queen.

I agree on the shoes. They look horrible with pants not to mention long gowns.

[lallyvee]

I think feet are the ugliest part of the human form.

I second that. Keep them covered.

[HereditaryPrincess]

Letizia looks nice and professional. Her hair also looks neat and tidy today. I guess I'm the odd one out here since I don't mind her shoes and the peep-toe bit doesn't bother me a lot.

Peep toe shoes are fine.

[princess carmen]

I think her shoes were fine her toes aren't even showing.
