The fashionable royalloves to repeat items from her wardrobe, and this time it was not any different. In fact, she wore this exact outfit in 2012 to the same event. Wednesday, however, she chose to wear her hair pulled back instead of down and had a slightly darker lip than three years ago. Letizia accessorized her most recent look with simple earrings.
