The high neck grey dress from label’ Autumn-winter 2019 ready-to-wear collection features long voluminous sleeves, a pussy-bow high-neckline and embroidery on the front of the bodice in red, mustard, white and black.

It seems Letizia was determined to give the event an iconic look so she brought back the diamond earrings that she wore on her wedding in May 2004. The earrings were a gift from Felipe’s parents King Juan Carlos and Queen Sofia.
