The cherry-stained, tailored suit featured a double-breasted blazer adorned with black buttons and a pair of straight-leg, pleated trousers. The blazer's structured shoulders and deep neckline added an air of sophisticated elegance to Letizia's dazzling look, while the vibrant colour perfectly captured the queen's festive spirit.
The mother-of-two layered the stunning suit over a nude-toned silk shirt which complimented her matching suede block-heeled boots and handbag from Spanish fashion label Adolfo Dominguez.
Letizia opted for a sleek straight style for her hair, with her luscious brunette locks swept into a side parting and tucked behind her ear to reveal a pair of dainty pearl-drop earrings.

This isn't the first time Letizia has opted for a rouge number this season. The royal dazzled in a striking scarlet blouse and figure-hugging black skirt as she joined her husband for a board meeting at the Princess Girona Foundation in Madrid the day before.
The vibrant long-sleeve blouse, which featured ruched detailing, was tucked into a black midi skirt cut elegantly just below the knee. The high-waisted skirt was adorned with bold red and blue floral embroidery, while Letizia added a large black belt to cinch her at the waist.

Letiza stunned in a striking, satin aqua blue dress, while her daughter Leonor followed in her mother's festive fashion footsteps in an elegant, red tailored suit. Meanwhile, Sofia decided to coordinate her outfit with her father's navy suit as she donned a navy jumpsuit which featured a bold pink abstract pattern in the centre.
