Queen Letizia of Spain is one of the most admired of the European royals when it comes to fashion.

Letizia, who married King Felipe of Spain back in 2004 and who shares daughters, Princess Leonor, Princess of Asturias and Infanta Sofia with the monarch, is regularly praised for her effortlessly gorgeous and ultra regal style.

Whether it's her dressed-down latte linen suit, her sapphire blue and white bardot dress or her Barbie-core hot pink cami dress, Queen Letizia has wowed so many royal fashion fans with all of her latest looks.

And we don't think her latest ensemble worn for her visit to a Spanish primary school will prove any less swoon-worthy, with her combination of a Breton sweater, figure-skimming navy cigarette trousers, timeless slingback heels and an ultra sleek and swishy ponytail providing some major Parisian vibes.

The navy and white jumper features a modest and flattering crew neck, elbow-length sleeves and wide horizontal stripes.

Queen Letizia used the addition of a simple leather belt to cinch the waist of her tailored trousers, perfectly complimenting her svelte figure.

Keeping things classic with her shoes, choosing a pair of Carrie Blue Suede Sling Back heels from Spanish label Isabel Abdo, priced at around £222.

The goat leather navy blue heels feature a small stiletto heel, a pretty pink lining and comfy slingback strap detail.

The former journalist wore her gorgeously luscious brunette locks in a thick, full high ponytail, framing her face with an off-centre parting and sweeping side fringe.

As for jewellery, Queen Letizia kept things delicate and golden, wearing a trio of small gold hoops aligned in each earlobe.
