- The 70th edition of the awards was held at the National Art Museum of Catalonia
Queen Letizia of Spain once again proved her fashion prowess and thrifty style when attending an award ceremony in Barcelona.
The royal mother-of-two, 49, looked typically elegant in a Felipe Varela gem-encrusted dress as she stepped out with her husband King Felipe, 53, for the 70th edition of the Planeta Novel Prize at the National Art Museum of Catalonia.
She’d originally wore the dazzling number in 2018 to the Princess of Asturias Awards, pairing it then with black strappy heels and eye-catching silver globe earrings.
This time around Letizia opted to pair the statement attire with black court heels, shimmering drop earrings, while keeping her hair sleeked back.

The Planeta Novel Prize is a Spanish literary prize, awarded since 1952 by the Spanish publisher Planeta Group to an original novel written in Spanish.
Attending the glitzy event alongside her husband, Letizia pulled out all the stops, commanding attention in a gown created by one of her favoured designers Felipe Varela.
The impressive jewel-encrusted frock in midnight blue was adorned with silver rhinestones and hand-embroidered in cream floral patterns.
The midi-length design – with a fitted body to accentuate the royal’s slender frame – featured short sleeves and a flared skirt.

Letizia completed her look with matching midnight blue earrings, boasting shimmering, dainty tassels.
She opted for a smattering of glamorous makeup and kept her hair sleeked back, while wearing a white face covering.
Her husband, who appeared equally charming in a striped suit teamed with a light blue tie, also donned a face mask.
