A single-breasted blazer and matching pleated trouser set from Spanish label El Corte Inglés was her outfit of choice. An understated white baselayer and flat white pumps gave her look a dressed-down edge while still appearing polished and sophisticated.

Pantone's semiannual report predicts the colours that will be seen during fashion weeks in New York and in London, and they were on the money with blue hues in the English capital, as Emilia Wickstead, JW Anderson and Zimmerman were just a few labels to flaunt favourable shades of blue for this season.
Queen Letizia's latest outfit further proves why her fashion choices are lauded for their timeless appeal and subtle nods to current trends, making her a style icon in the royal world.
