In her typical chic fashion, the Spanish Queen wore her dark hair loose and in a side parting. 

She opted for neutral eyeshadow with a bronzed lip as her and Felipe joined Minister of Culture and Sport, Miquel Iceta on stage for the presentation of the awards. 

Queen Letizia and King Felipe beamed as they were greeted by excited crowds at the venue in Tenerife. 

The Gold Medal for Merit in the Fine Arts is awarded by the Spanish ministry of culture to individuals or organizations excelling in artistic and cultural works.

It is also given to those who provide valuable services in the promotion of art and culture along with the conservation of the artistic heritage.

For the annual event today, the royals were joined also by Ángel Víctor Torres, President of the Canary Islands. 

Spanish composer Juan Muñoz was among the recipients of the Fine Arts awards, which was presented to him by the King and Queen. 

But this isn’t the first awards ceremony they’ve attended this week. On Wednesday Felipe and Letizia attended the 39th annual Francisco Cerecedo Journalism Awards, in Madrid.

The mother-of-two looked polished as she showed off her toned arms at the event in the Spanish capital. 

She opted for a recycled, gem-encrusted black and white gown from Felipe Varela paired with black Prada pumps, black diamond teardrop De Grisogono earrings and a black clutch bag.

Her phenomenally toned, enviable arms were on show as she strolled alongside her husband in the short-sleeved dress, which she has worn twice before.

Last year she appeared at the 70th edition of the Planeta Novel Prize at the National Art Museum of Catalonia wearing the gown – with the addition of a face mask in line with Covid regulations.
