Petal power! Queen Letizia of Spain stuns in a floral print dress as she presents a literature award with King Felipe
Queen Letizia of Spain was a vision in a petal-print dress today as she hosted an event with her husband King Felipe.
The Spanish royal, 50, charmed onlookers in the form-fitting pink and white number as she welcomed guests to the Royal Palace in Madrid, for a luncheon celebrating world literature members of the ‘Miguel de Cervantes’ Literature Prize.
The prestigious Miguel de Cervantes Prize is awarded to one writer annually to celebrate a lifetime of work, and this year it’s being given to Venezuelan poet Rafael Cadenas, 93.
Ever the regal beauty, the mother-of-two stunned in a waist-cinching, ankle-length dress by Spanish brand Lady Pipa, in colour ‘Terrazzo Rose.
Meanwhile King Felipe, 55, was as smart as ever in a sharp three-piece suit and royal blue tie.

She worked the room alongside her husband in a matching pair of fuchsia croc-effect slingback pumps by high-end Venezuelan fashion designer Carolina Herrera – whose clothing is admired by a plethora of influential women like Michelle Obama and Melania Trump.
The pointed leather heels were the perfect choice for the glamourous ensemble, as the royal stylishly recycled them for the event.
The elegant midi dress draped effortlessly over her trim figure, as the queen opted to team the look with minimal jewellery and no handbag.
A pair of dazzling drop-down pearl earrings were the right touch, alongside an 18 carat gold ‘Amor Che Tutto Move’ yellow gold ring by Italian lifestyle jewellery brand Coreterno.
Her signature brown tresses were styled in a chic bun, neatly parted to the side, while for her make-up look, the royal donned a scarlet red smokey eye with black eyeliner, black mascara, and full brows.
The monarch’s beauty was accentuated by a natural base, joint with soft pink blush and a glossy pink lip
