The awards are presented in five categories: National Prize “Gregorio Marañón” of Medicine, National Prize “Santiago Ramón y Cajal” of Biology, “Leonardo Torres Quevedo” National Engineering Prize, National Prize “Pascual Madoz” of Law and Economic and Social Science and National Prize “Ramón Menéndez Pidal” of Humanities.
Now to what Letizia wore – Queen cuts an elegant figure at the event in a black midi dress. She wore COS black wool dress. Thanks to Nuria Tiburcio for the quick id.
The dress featured a long draped asymmetrical neckline, long sleeves, and sheath silhouette. It was from the label’s old collection so no longer available.
Letizia teamed up the dress with her black Burberry belt.
Queen once again chose her Steve Madden Suede Dominique Long Boots
Her Bvlgari Aquamarine and diamond earrings’ hoops and
Karen Hallam ring finished the look.
Dress Like Queen
