Queen Letizia of Spain arrived for the inauguration of the Royal Collections Gallery at the Royal Palace on Wednesday in Madrid, donning summer florals.
The queen wore a white and blue floral printed dress with a black ribbon waist bow, black shoulder straps and black bra cups from Carolina Herrera. She coordinated the dress with black sling-back pumps, also from Carolina Herrera.
Queen Letizia’s dress was from Carolina Herrera’s pre-fall 2020 collection. WWD characterized the collection as delivering glamour with subtle sweetness and a casual attitude that belied the often-intricate constructions of the clothes.
