Queen Letizia of Spain's combination of barely-there strappy sandals, a flowing pleated midi skirt and simple strapless top has got us taking notes for the next time we want an easy chic warm weather look.
The Spanish Queen stepped out alongside King Felipe VI and their daughters, Leonor and Infanta, to meet with members of the public as part of marking the 10 year anniversary since Felipe's proclamation.
Letizia's ensemble gave us an instant flurry of long skirt outfit ideas as soon as we saw the snaps from the event - and her barely-there T-bar sandals were certainly the dream comfy shoe option that are the ideal alternative for a pair of your best white trainers.
