Queen Letizia is revered as one of Europe's best-dressed royals, and her latest look has fans obsessed. Attending the Gran Angular and El Barco De Vapor literature awards on Tuesday, the monarch donned a green scarf-print dress from Sandro. 

Teaming her emerald midi with black stilettos and a matching handbag, Letizia gave off major summer vibes in her paisley print frock. Wearing her brunette tresses down in a glossy blow-dry, she opted for her favourite makeup look – a soft brown shadow combined with statement lashes and a subtle hint of bronzer.

Letizia often recycles her favourite outfits, and she recently stepped out in a blazer dress that has a very special meaning behind it. Looking effortlessly elegant in her tweed midi, which she first wore 15 years ago at her daughter Princess Leonor's christening, Letizia coordinated her sentimental style with brown criss-cross stilettos by Magrit.
