Overall a stunning look, although I wish the top part wasn't a "shirt"

She looks great at the dinner. The skirt needed a plain blouse because of its extensive detail so it all works perfectly. Nice hair do and just the right amount of jewels - her Cartier bangle and wedding earrings

Letizia looked gorgeous at the dinner, her outfit was so appropriate for a dinner in Morocco. The skirt is very beautiful and combined with a simple blouse she looks stunning. She knows how to choose simple clothes which make her shine. Nice to see lovely earrings and that beautiful bracelet once again. Letizia has a great taste on hairdos too.

The skirt is lovely but a shirt? The shirt makes the outfit look underdressed and looks like she is attending a business dinner. Knowing how lavish the Moroccan ladies dress for a dinner, I expected something a bit more lavish from Letizia.

The skirt is beautiful but the shirt just seems to drag the whole outfit down even if there had been some slight embellishment on the shirt it might have made it pop a little bit

I liked the skirt but thought the business type shirt was a big miss. The outfit was, I thought modest in deference to their hosts. Then I saw the slit up the back and thought no. Just wrong on so many levels.
Letizia is slipping back to mis-matching ensembles and underdressing majorly. Her plain shirt and slim skirt looked positively casual and a little tacky with the slit up the back beside Lalla Selma in a beautifully appropriate caftan, which was perfect for the occasion.

I do not like the shirt, but i think she worn it on purpose, in order not to show her arms/shoulders. Quite wise choice. The skirt is gorgeous.
It is not the first time she wears a shirt with a beautiful long skirt, I rememeber she did it also with a lovely Caprile black and white embroidered skirt, she worn with a watin satin shirt which killed the skirt.

The white shirt was a bit of a let down however her hairstyle/jewels all made up for this odd choice.

But she could've gone for a dress with 3/4 or long sleeves instead of a two pieces outfit or a boat neck silk top would looks much much more better.

I'm in the minority as I really dislike the skirt and the shirt. The whole out is a miss IMO. She looked out of place in such a grand place. This is her way as Queen, boring and corporate-like.

IMO the look maxi skirt & white blouse can work, but both pieces are too casual/bland for the occasion in this case. Its boring and it always looks strange to just tuck the blouse in instead of having a belt/waistband.
example that works imo:

I was interested in what the Queen would wear considering she was going to be "competing" with bejeweled caftans. I think she actually got it right, a-la Queen Rania. She was covered but the skirt added just the right amount of bling. And her hair looked lovely.

I tried to see her with a glittery necklace and couldn't. She got it right, I think.

I agree with you completely. Clothes fit perfectly and the plain silk blouse didn't over take the beautiful skirt. Another top that would have distracted in any way, either by neckline or embellishment, would not have been as correct. This outfit showed off her beautiful slim figure. Hair nice although maybe a platinum large necklace just peaking out under her open blouse would have been nice, but I would have to see first.
