Queen Letizia of Spain wears beloved £119 Massimo Dutti dress for FIFTH time

Queen Letizia of Spain was effortlessly elegant as she recycled a high-street staple dress to an exhibition, which is highlighting the importance of grammar, in Madrid today.

The royal, 50, sported a deep navy frock ornately decorated by polka dot designs as toured the exhibition, which commemorates 500 years since the death of Antonio de Nebrija – credited as being the author of Spanish Grammar and the language’s first dictionary.

Her flowy ankle-length piece was perfect for the warm and sunny spring day, featuring chic cut-out detailing along the collar. 

It’s the fifth time the monarch – who is known for her love of bringing to new life to her clothes for years – has been spotted in the £119 Massimo Dutti piece.

Letizia first wore the ensemble in 2019, during a state visit to South Korea, and then again in January 2020 at the FITUR International Tourism Fair in Madrid.

The following year she donned the favoured purchase while greeting audiences at Zarzuela Palace in Madrid and, in 2022, once again rewore it for a World Mental Health Day event.

As per her usual for the look, she teamed the confetti-print ensemble with a scarlet clutch bag by Magrit and matching wine-red stilettos.

Letizia wore her chestnut tresses down in loose waves, opting for minimal make-up accentuated by peachy tones as she took in the wordsmith’s work. 

The exhibition is organised by the National Library and runs from November 25 to April 9.

It comes as last week Letizia showed off her love of bright colours in a hot-pink ensemble to preside over events for the International Day of Rare Diseases in A Coruña.

The royal, never one to shy away from bold tones, perfectly balanced fun with sophistication in the £347 button-down maxi-dress from Roberto Verino.

Her fuchsia frock featured layered skirt detailing and was belted at the waist, perfectly complementing the monarch’s silhouette.

She kept to warm hues with a pair of scarlet slingback stiletto heels to tie the look together.

The wife of King Felipe VI opted to curl her chestnut locks in relaxed, styled waves.

Letizia’s make-up channelled soft peachy tones and showed off the queen’s natural dewy skin.

She smiled while attending the engagement in North Western Spain, and was at one point pictured clapping on stage. 

Elsewhere the royal was spotted shaking hands with members of the Spanish Federation of Rare Diseases (FEDER).

International Rare Disease Day, in February, is aimed at raising awareness surrounding diagnosis and treatments for patients and organisations all over the world.

Equal access to treatment is a key theme in this year’s campaign.

Elsewhere, it was last month announced Letizia’s daughter Infanta Sofía of Spain will attend United World College of the Atlantic in Wales on a two-year, £68,000 course.

The 15-year-old will follow in the footsteps of her sister Princess Leonor, 17, heir to the Spanish throne, who is in her last year at the specialist education college in the Vale of Glamorgan.

Sofía will become the latest in a long list of royal alumni at the college, including Princess Elisabeth, heir to the throne of Belgium, who graduated in 2020, and King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands.

Situated at the 12th century St Donat’s Castle on the country’s south coast, the college, dubbed the ‘Hippie Hogwarts’, was founded by German educationalist Kurt Hahn.

School fees for the two-year course cost a whopping £68,000 and include Tai Chi, the theory of knowledge and Tibetan literature.
