Royal Suits of the Day: February 2

Comment   
I see the love affair between Letizia and her trouser suits is going strong, for better or for worse.

For better:
The King and Queen of Spain attended an audience followed by an evening event, 
hence the fanciness.
Saucy lady tux, bit of color on the shoes, fancy hair, killer earrings, sign me up. This is hot.

And for worse:
The day before, they attended a tourism fair.
No. She's worn this before, but back to back with the look above, it's hard to believe this is the same lady in a suit from the same label. Serious case of hotness whiplash right here.

Royal Style Twins of the Day: January 15

Queen Letizia made an appearance at the Telefónica Ability Awards this week in a classic black and white ensemble, including a high-waisted full black skirt, a white Hugo Boss top, black heels, and her de Grisogono black diamond earrings. (The earrings are an older pair that have made a recent reappearance, no doubt part of her quest to stake out her position as the Earring Queen.)
I don't know about you, but it always takes me a moment to recognize Letizia in a full skirt - a sheath dress, sure, you'd know that was Letizia from a mile away, but this kind of skirt makes me do a double take. Especially in an outfit like this, which looks a whole lot like one we've already seen elsewhere:
These two ladies have quite a bit of wardrobe cross over, actually, since they're both big fans of Hugo Boss. Crown Princess Mary wore her version of this basic combination during her visit to Canada in 2014, and her skirt (made of a more textured fabric than Letizia's) is from Danish designer Signe Bøgelund-Jensen. No matter who wears it, this is a plain enough combination, and you need something to add some interest. Letizia went for a red lip and those earrings, while Mary opted for snakeskin Louboutins and a thin belt to accent the skirt's thick waistband. Still, I'm not sure either version is particularly memorable. Et toi?

Royal Visit of the Day: December 2

Some people have a serious pet peeve about coat length being shorter than skirt length. I am not one of those people. Except, maybe, for right here, which looks like a random weather-necessitated pairing more than anything else:
The King and Queen of Spain went on an introductory visit to Germany yesterday.
Must have been a wee bit chilly in Germany yesterday, because in multiple photos poor Letizia is clutching her scarf for dear life, and she's got that look on her face like she can't feel her fingers anymore, but she's just going to power through it anyway. So I'll let the hem thing slide and simply commend her for dressing to showcase the display of Spanish and German flags.
Once the coat was ditched, the whole thing made a lot more sense:
This entire outfit (except the shoes) comes from Hugo Boss - one of Letizia's favorite labels, but also one that happens to be a German company. Not so random after all, it turns out. Sneaky Letizia.

Royal Trip of the Day: November 7

What has Crown Princess Mary been up to lately? Emptying her closet of all available printed items, it seems.
Dolce & Gabbana skirt, Etro coat
All these prints went on a trip with her to South Africa this week, a visit which focused on things like sexual and reproductive health and rights, which Mary is a big advocate for, as well as commercial cooperation between Denmark and South Africa cooperation and the like.
Heartmade dress, Massimo Dutti dress
And this is a great example of a wardrobe hitting just the right note - it's fun to put it all together, but it's not the centerpiece of the trip. Billed-Bladet's YouTube channel has plenty of videos to give you a feel for the visit, such as this one in which Mary makes a new friend:

Blouse from Hugo Boss

This is not a comprehensive round up, but I will include one of my favorite looks, from an evening reception:
I do love a maxi skirt and a big earring. It's just the right mix of formal and informal, no?
Giambattista Valli skirt and gold plated sterling silver earrings from Jewlscph

Mary's world travels didn't stop in South Africa this week. On the way home, she stopped in Geneva at the United Nations.
A conservative we're-doing-business suit is precisely what such a day entails, but I (and Queen Elizabeth II) approve of her choice to liven things up with a little brooch action.
A classy finish to a working week, all in all.

First, a programming note: No Tiara Thursday post today. I know, it's a bummer. Instead, I offer you a grab bag of recent (recent-ish...) appearances from some of our leading ladies:

Mary's been really busy lately. Lots of standard fare in the outfit department, with a couple standouts. This gray sheath is really elegant, although it might be crossing the line into too simple territory?
Video: Crown Princess Mary attended the 25th anniversary celebration of registered partnerships for same-sex couples in Denmark
She was in a bit of a simple sheath mood, also sporting a purple number with leopard print shoes as a fun little accent.

Of course, there's animal print and then there's ANIMAL PRINT, and if you want the caps lock version then you need to talk to the caps lock queen.
Queen Máxima visited a social employment agency this week.
I'm suddenly feeling nostalgic for simple gray sheath dresses.

Good thing we can always count on Mathilde to serve as a tranquil tonic to whatever else comes our way, right?
Queen Mathilde accompanied King Philippe on a visit to the Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe last week.  
She's making good use of all these similar dresses she ordered, and I'm okay with her making this her signature collar style. She makes it regal.

One more for the road:
Queen Letizia attended the annual Red Cross Fundraising Day yesterday.
I'm developing a serious weakness for a great windowpane print, but I think I'm loving this. It keeps with her style, and yet it's not a plain gray business suit. Yeah, put me down for a thumbs up.

Royal Trip of the Day: September 25

Comment   
'Tis that time of the year when royals and dignitaries alike flock to New York City, drawn by the United Nations General Assembly session, the Clinton Global Initiative meeting, movie nights with their peers (maybe not), and so on. Of all the royals present, the new King and Queen of Spain seem to be making the most of their trip, so let's catch up on their sartorial adventures. (Okay, well, her sartorial adventures, really. He wore a suit. And also so did she - uh, spoiler alert? - because this is Serious Business, okay.)


Video: The Queen visits a school in Harlem
Letizia wore this basic suit from Hugo Boss - but hey, it's the color of the moment! I'd say she was right on trend, but I don't think a suit this basic has anything to do with trends. The video above is kind of awkward, but you can hear Letizia speaking English (first time I've ever heard her do that, not that I particularly seek out instances of her speaking), and I know some of you like to know what languages our favorites speak. Which is appropriate, since her visit was focused on teaching Spanish and bilingualism in American schools. (Click here for an article with pictures.)

More meetings were taken wearing a customized Felipe Varela suit with panels on the front and back of grosgrain stripes. Her version differs from the retail version in structure details and also in color, opting for a more subdued hue combination. I really love the panels of grosgrain here, adds so much interest to an otherwise boring suit jacket.

I said there was a whole crew of royals in town: Letizia got an opportunity to chat with Queen Máxima too (was it about hair care? I hope it was about hair care).
Máxima, sporting one of her one-shoulder wonders, was in town because she is a special advocate for the Secretary General for inclusive finance.

And finally, while I lied about the movie night thing, there were some occasions for a bit of cocktail dress sparkle. There was a sparkly blue Varela number worn to hang out with the Obamas, and then this little LBD worn at another reception:
Look at the little braid in her hair! Hey, I meant she should talk to Máx about hair care, but if their chat inspired some fun from either one, I'm good with that.
