Queen Letizia of Spain embraced the refinement of a kitten heel for the Pascua Militar ceremony in Madrid on Tuesday, opting for a black version of the style.
Queen Letizia’s pumps featured a classic silhouette with a pointed toe and low-cut vamp. A short tapered stiletto heel offered a subtle boost to the royal, falling squarely within the kitten heel realm. They appeared to be her black Clara kitten heels from Magrit, a Spanish luxury brand which Queen Letizia often wears. The Clara silhouette has become a go-to for Queen Letizia; toward the end of 2025, she wore a burgundy pair on two occasions, in early November and then later in the month, to accompany red dresses.
