Queen Letizia wowed in a head-to-toe candy pink look with a vibrant leopard print dress and the kitten heels of dreams and we’re taking style notes.
The leopard print trend is going to be huge this season and it seems even the royals are on board - as Queen Letizia of Spain showed in spectacular style this month. She stepped out on 3rd April in Cadiz for the Gold Medals of Merit in Fine Arts wearing a fabulous bright pink dress from Lady Pipa. A midi dress is a must-have in many people’s spring capsule wardrobes and Queen Letizia’s candy pink dress had a stunning v-neckline and puffed sleeves finishing in a fitted cuff. This design was the perfect blend of being flatteringly fitted and also comfortably floaty, making it the perfect choice for both spring events and more day-to-day.
The bodice of Queen Letizia’s dress flared out into a beautifully draped skirt that had ruching down the centre. The ruching gave the skirt a gorgeous shape and echoed the billowing sleeves, whilst the colour palette and pattern was a fun combination.
