Resuming her royal duties on Monday, Queen Letizia of Spain just stepped out in the dreamiest floral frock while attending the National Research Awards 2020 at the El Pardo Palace in Madrid. Ready for summer, the monarch recycled her pastel shirt dress from Boss as she joined her husband Prince Felipe VI at the ceremony.

A picture of poise, Letizia teamed her pastel ensemble with cherry red court shoes and opted for minimal jewellery. Rocking her signature glossy blowdry, the mum-of-two showcased her natural beauty as she modelled a subtle copper shadow complete with statement lashes and honey-hued blusher.

Recognise her dress? The monarch first donned her designer midi in November 2019 for the 200th anniversary of the Prado Museum. She also wore it last year while attending audiences for representatives of the Association "VISUAL TEAF" and representatives of the Federation of Celiac Associations of Spain. 

In love with her outfit? While Letizia's £449 frock has since sold out, we've found a number of high street alternatives so you can recreate her look for less.

Queen Letizia is regarded as one of Europe's best-dressed royals, and she's been recycling a number of her most iconic looks over the past few weeks.

Coordinating with black stilettos and a matching handbag, we couldn't take our eyes off of her elegant outfit.
