Princess Letizia's Eveningwear Part 1: May 2004 - July 2008

[lis]

I love her dress, It is like a princess of the XVIII century. gorgeus

 

[Saragli]

Im iffy on the dress. I LOVE the cut of the top and I like the puffy skirt but I dont think the colors are that great and dont bring out the radiant princess that she is. Her hair was beautiful though.

 

[soCal girl]

Letizia is so beautiful and dresses wonderfully but I'm not a fan of the dress. But her hair and tiara are absolutely beautiful! Does anybody know who designed her dress? Where did her sash disappear into to? The sash doesn't seem to go over her shoulder but slips into her dress? Has she worn that tiara before? Thanks to whoever answers my questions.

 

[Elsa M.]

Does anybody know who designed her dress? [...] Has she worn that tiara before?

The designer is mentioned in the above post where the photo was placed. Regarding the tiara, yes, she's worn it to the gala offered to the Latvian president (see previous pages of this thread).

 

[Paula**]

I think Letizia is the most elegant Crown Princess
She is always very well in gala and Evening Gowns...
She's very well in all ocasions

 

[Saturn]

I like the top of her dress, but I think the skirt is horrible and old fashion.

A clothes shop in Zaragoza has decided to "clon" Letizia's most unforgetable dresses.
In the photos, we can see Letizia's engagement suit, her pre-wedding dinner dress and also both pre-wedding concert and wedding ceremony in Denmark, as well as both the dresses she wore at the Gómez-Acebo's weddings.
Here's also a photo of the front door of the shop, in case you decide to go there...

Oh thank you so much for this! I'd love to go some day, just to look around. It must be very expensive, otherwise I'd love to buy the red one she work in Denmark!

 

[blyton]

She looks fab in the dress she wore for the banks dinner!!

 

[Lauritas138]

Definitively she is the most elegant crown princess.

[soCal girl]

Thanks for posting the pictures, Elsa! Letizia looked gorgeous at the Mariano Cava's Jounalistic Awards. The color and cut look really good on her. The lacy part also adds a very pretty feminine touch to it. The skirt she wore in Luxembourg looks better with the white top she wore with it before. The black top weighs down the outfit IMO.

I believe this is the same lace jacket (and purse).

[CRIS]

The purse if is the same but I believe that the jacket is not the same one

 

[RaniaRocks]

Yes indeed is rather hard to tell, one picture is yellow and the other one more silver, but regardless of the picture tones I just noticed a subtle difference on the lace patterns, specifically on the left side the pattern is more busy on the "yellow" picture. Is hard to tell, I was in the believe it was the same, since one time she wore it opened and the other don't somethings changes, the cut is exactly the same and the colors changes from one picture to another depending if it is paper, digital, the light etc, but the pattern have me wondering.

 

[ldt20]

If the jackets are different I'd not be surprised if they are by Felipe Varela. It seems to me like he usually makes very similar pieces for the Princess changing the colors or patterns a little bit.

well... i would like to say that:
- the king of spain, although he has not the financial power as abdulah of jordan, he has a lot of power in what politics concern in spain.
- i have been hearing that this year the money for letizia's dresses and gowns has increased a lot the amount of money destined for the royal house of spain.
- the royal house of spain isn't a rich monarchy compared to others in europe...

but i agree completely that rania's elegance isn't comendable....

The Spanish royal house is certainly not as rich as other in Europe, as you say, but I can assure you that it is rich enough to buy Letizia and the Queen as many designer gowns as they want. It's just that they don't feel the need to do so! And why would they do it when they can still wear fabulous gowns without spending a fortune like Rania does!

Not every princess looks good in bright colour dress, but Letizia looks good in bright colour dress. I like this green colour on her just like her fabulous red gown in Denmark wedding event.

 

[Her_Majesty]

I love this dress!

12. Dinner offered to the Latvian President (Designer: Lorenzo Caprile);

I must say that from all Letizia Gala Wear this is one of my top ten... I love the way she looked that day, her expressive eyes, her skin, the way the sash is placed, the jewels, the purse... well, I think you're already realised how much I like it .

Hi everyone,

As I have made in the Mette-Marit gala dresses I would like to show you the video clips I have made with the material I have found in this thread. It was all a project to include multimedia in some web building practices I'm making and I wanted to thank you all for the material and the information I have found in the thread. I would like to thank especially to Elsa M. for the amount of photographs and information about the dresses and Nouwrein as well.

Well these are the video I hope you'd like and enjoy,
