Though it's not exciting, it's one of the best dresses she has worn to this event, so quite ok to me. The Pascua Militar is not a glittering event anyway, rather more serious and business-like IMO.
A back view to the hairdo:

She is looking great!
She simply can wear dresses like this and the embroidery is adding something special on the dress!
I would have wished for a bit bigger earrings

Letizia looks so good today. This is one of her most beautiful dresses ever. Simple, clean lines, and so appropriate for this event. She has a beautiful hairdo and only some and small jewellery, which is the right choice for a military event.

The dress is beautiful. The style is flattering her, the color is lovely and detail simple but perfect
I prefer this time. Her hair looks beautiful up and I love the earrings.
With all the detail in the sleeves, a bracelet would be overkill and while I am a brooch fan I can't really picture one here.

Letizia's pascua outfits are usually boring and today was no exception. None of her Pascua outfits ever made me jump with excitement. All pretty dull and plain unfortunately. Let's hope for a new one next year.

Generally, when men are wearing dress uniform or morning dress, women are wearing short dresses and hats, e.g. Royal Ascot. There are, however, some high-profile occasions where this rule does not apply and women wear full-length gowns, but not evening gowns. I think occasions such as this are very tricky and luckily seem to only involve royalty. CP Mary, Princess Marie, Queen Maxima and Queen Letizia seem to be the only high-profile women in this predicament.
A long dress with or without a jacket, with or without a hat and yet elegant, flattering and memorable, is a hard act to pull off. Yet it seems only logical that jewellery is the only way to "dress it up", make a statement without going OTT. Unfortunately, the beautiful cabochon cut stone earrings she wore just died in the natural light. Pearls are a natural choice and all of these women have beautiful, understated yet elegant, pearl earrings, necklaces and brooches and Letizia has some lovely pearls.

A few more photos including a slightly better view of what is underneath

I really like her coat, I love her trench style coats, especially the belted ones.
I am in love with her earrings. I keep wishing though she would cut her hair again. Her shorter bob is much sleeker on her.
From what I can see, the blazer and blue top under are simple but professional.
Though I like her evening wear, she really shines in her more business style.

I wish she would cut her hair again too. Nice professional look today.

Oh no...I love Letizia's hair at this length.
It's especially versatile because she can wear a crimp, a wave or pin it up.

I still have to get used to the matching but it looks good! Red and beige seems to blend in together just fine.

Bit of a mismatched outfit but looks ok for the event.
