During her state visit to The Netherlands, Queen Letizia of Spain has been serving with her sultry yet chic spring wardrobe. 

From contrasting bold colours to striking linen suits, the Queen of Spain has effortlessly showcased how to style timeless, classic pieces in line with spring/summer 2024 fashion trends

On the first day of the royal visit, Queen Letizia attended a reception to see the NH Collection in Amsterdam's Barbican Palace Hotel. For the occasion, the senior royal wore a silver satin maxi skirt, which she paired with a black bardot top and a chunky black buckle belt.

The skirt was from one of Her Majesty’s favourite brands, Hugo Boss, and the best-selling liquid-fabric maxi skirt with a diagonal seam retails for £239.99. It was a bold choice to bare her shoulders with this maxi skirt, creating an elegant ensemble with a sultry edge. 

Bardot tops have come back into fashion again after their time in the spotlight during the mid 2010’s. From knitted off the shoulder to ruched and sweetheart necklines, it’s a versatile top to have as part of a capsule wardrobe, to style for different occasions. 

By wearing her satin skirt with a sleek shoulder-less number, Letizia didn't detract focus from the silver statement part of the outfit. She paired this outfit with a Bottega Veneta Intrecciato Knot Clutch, a smart and small alternative for extra special occasions.

Queen Letizia’s wardrobe also regularly features Carolina Herrera and this look is no different. With the black leather slingback pumps with the contrast red soles, she finished her hidden leg line in a delicate pointed toe to add a final touch of elegance. 

The retro 2000s belt tied this whole look together, transforming a simple skirt and long sleeve top combination into a cohesive final silhouette. Queen Letizia truly understands the difference between wearing and styling her clothes

Silver pieces in your wardrobe can always be complemented by black, it keeps the final look sleek and adds a good contrast to the light tone of the skirt. Queen Letizia always keeps her make-up fresh and minimal, with a strong lip and light eyeshadow, which builds a bright complexion that’s camera-ready. 

Whether it’s a statement red suit or a floral midi dress, if Queen Letizia is wearing it, we’re all taking note.
