Queen Letizia of Spain puts on a summery display in recycled Carolina Herrera gown

Queen Letizia of Spain put on a summery display as she joined husband King Felipe VI to host lunch for United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres at the Royal Palace in Madrid, Spain today.

The mother-of-two, 48, recycled an embroidered dress by Carolina Herrera for the occasion, which she first wore when she attended a conference in Palma, Mallorca on September 25, 2017. 

Typically stylish, the royal accessorised with the same pastel pink clutch bag but decided to switch her previous neutral shoes for matching pink stiletto heels, which perfectly complemented the colours in the floral pattern of her blue gown.

She wore a classic makeup look, with just a dash of bronzer and a smokey eye and adhered to government guidelines by covering her mouth and nose with a protective face mask.

The royal, who wore her brown locks loose, opted for minimal jewellery, adding just a pair of dainty earrings. 

Meanwhile, King Felipe VI of Spain put on a dapper display in a navy suit with light blue shirt and mint green-coloured tie. 

The glitzy lunch was also attended by Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez, First Deputy Prime Minister Carmen Calvo, Foreign Affairs Minister Arancha Gonzalez Laya and Spanish basketball player Pau Gasol.

It’s been a busy few days for the King and Queen of Spain, who were joined by their lookalike daughters Princesses Leonor and Sofia for the Princess Girona Foundation Awards on Thursday.

The Spanish royals commanded attention in stunning ensembles as they arrived at the ceremony which was held in Barcelona.

Mother-of-two Letizia turned heads in an elegant blue grown, embellished with dazzling gems and featuring a belted cinched-waist detailing. 

Her daughters Princesses Leonor, 15, and Sofia, 14, put on a trendy display in stylish dresses, with the former opting for an eye-catching red number, while the latter sported a black frock, teamed with a white top. 

Letizia looked stylish in the form-fitting blue dress adorned with star-shaped gems and fitted at the waist with a slim belt. 

She paired the dress with silver stilettos, and kept the rest of her accessories to a minimum, sporting only small hoop earrings. 

Her dark locks were styled in low ponytail with a few locks framing her face.  

Her oldest daughter Leonor, who was taking her place as her father’s right-hand girl, stole the show in a crimson red dress.

She was also wearing a face mask and sported very light make up, with just a dash of mascara enhancing her eyes.

Her blonde hair, which she wore straight at a previous event earlier today, was styled in wavy locks tied at the back of her hair. 

Her red shoes matched her outfit perfectly, showing the princess had learned a thing or two about fashion from her mother.  

Her younger sister Sofia sported a modern white and black dress with ballerina shoes also in black. 

Next to his wife and daughters, Kinf Felipe VI looked crisp in a black suit with a white shirt and a graphic tie with a red and green motif.

Earlier in the day, the family all wore shades of blues to meet with the awards’ past winners ahead of the ceremony. 

For the occasion, Letizia donned a Carolina Hererra denim dress she debuted in 2019 during a trip to Mozambique.  

Leonor opted for a floral number from Mango, while Sofia wore a light blue dress from Springfield.
