Queen Letizia returns to work after her successful and much-discussed official trip to the Netherlands, in which, apart from her highly anticipated style duels with another of the most elegant royals on the planet, Queen Máxima – in which she has not there was a clear winner because both have lived up to expectations in their reunion – if there is one reason why she has become the protagonist, it was because of the setback she suffered during the gala dinner held in her honor at the Royal Palace of Amsterdam, when she had She had to remain seated during the traditional hand-kissing due to the Morton’s neuroma that she has suffered from in her left foot for two years due to prolonged and excessive use of high heels. Completely recovered from this illness that has overshadowed her visit to Holland, the Queen has reappeared alongside King Felipe VI this Tuesday, April 23, to present the ‘Miguel de Cervantes 2023’ Literature Prize, which in this edition has been won by the Spanish writer Luis Mateo Díez for being “one of the great narrators of the Castilian language, heir to the Cervantine spirit, creator of imaginary worlds and territories.” One of Doña Letizia’s favorite events – passionate about reading – that took place like every year in the Auditorium of the University of Alcalá de Henares and in which the monarch debuted a dress that will cause a lot of talk and that we have no doubt that we will see more occasions. Despite the high temperatures in Madrid in recent days, and the fact that His Majesty is known for challenging the cold with his choices in the middle of winter, on this occasion he has surprised with a rather wintery design whose creator we do not know because of the moment. And instead of choosing some spring style as she has done in recent weeks, she has opted for this unprecedented tweed-shaped pressed wool dress, midi length, straight bodice and three-quarter sleeves. A sober model at first glance that, if we look closely, is full of details that make it unique. Firstly, because it looks like a two-piece but it is actually a dress, and although from afar we might think that it is gray, the truth is that it is made of multicolored threads in perfect harmony. In addition, it is finished with an original fringe that takes away the seriousness of the look. She didn’t have anything like it in her impressive dressing room, and it’s a sure bet to hit the mark for any type of occasion. As accessories, Doña Letizia has shown that there is no Morton’s neuroma that can handle her and she has worn slingback pumps with a sensible black heel and a matching leather short-handled bag. Her medium hair is midi with volume and long white gold earrings topped with a pearl, the finishing touches to an ideal look with which she has swept the Cervantes Prize.
