Queen Letizia brought fairytale glamour to a Spanish state visit honoring French President Emmanuel Macron, stepping out in a breathtaking ensemble that looked straight out of a Disney princess storybook.
On September 29, 2026, the Royal Palace of Madrid hosted a grand state visit as King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia welcomed French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife, Brigitte.
Queen Letizia's Disney princess look
Queen Letizia channelled Disney’s Princess Elsa in an ice-blue Carolina Herrera gown that radiated elegance and regal glamour.
The show-stopping gown comes from the designer’s latest collection, featuring a sheer yoke around the neckline embellished with intricate floral detailing.
Dramatic sleeves added a striking, regal touch, giving the look an elegant and commanding presence as the royal arrived.
Letizia accessorized her ensemble with stunning jewels from the royal collection, among them the Spanish Floral Tiara.
Featuring graceful lines and intricate diamond detailing, the remarkable jewel radiates an eye-catching sparkle.
The 19th-century jewel was presented to Queen Sofía by the Spanish government as a wedding gift in 1962.
It remains one of Queen Letizia’s favourite pieces, with three detachable diamond flowers that can be worn as brooches or transformed into a necklace.
Queen Letizia distinct style as a Queen of Spain
Letizia met then-Prince Felipe while working as a journalist, and the couple married on May 22, 2004, at Madrid’s Almudena Cathedral.
The couple share two daughters, Princess Leonor, born in 2005, and Infanta Sofía, born in 2007. Leonor, Princess of Asturias, is the heir to the Spanish throne.
As a modern working royal, Queen Letizia is known for her polished power suits, elegant midi dresses and sleek silhouettes.
She often mixes high-street favourites, including Zara, Massimo Dutti and Mango, with luxury labels such as Carolina Herrera.
During summer holidays and casual outings, she opts for breezy linen, boho maxi dresses and practical footwear like espadrilles, loafers and sneakers.
