Queen Letizia attended Solo de ciencia , at the Círculo de Bellas Artes in Madrid in her signature elegant style. As usual, she chose an outfit that both followed the rules of etiquette, but also nodded to summer trends.
Her Majesty wore a black midi slip dress with a halter neckline from Other Stories, the Swedish fashion brand owned by H&M. But it was her shoes that captured our attention. Transparent shoes with vinyl or PVC inserts have become an obsession of designers. When paired with the right clothes, they can lengthen the legs.
The queen wore shoes by Manolo Blahnik with a pointed toe, stiletto heel, and black cage-like detailing on the otherwise transparent front. Currently, the brand has several different styles with transparent details, from the Scolto sandal to the Jadifa mules.
To complement her minimalist style statement, Queen Letizia opted to wear silver jewelry and loose hair with flyaway ends and a smoky eye. Thus, she confirms once and for all that less is more.
