Queen Letizia of Spain is bringing a fresh twist to a spring wardrobe staple: the white maxi skirt. A timeless piece often seen on style icons like Gigi Hadid, Jennifer Lawrence, Eva Longoria, and Jennifer Lopez, the white maxi skirt has now been given the royal seal of approval by the queen herself.
On Sunday, Queen Letizia stepped out in Granada for a series of official engagements, showcasing a dreamy pleated skirt from Spanish designer Adolfo Dominguez. The flowy piece featured delicate bright-red stripes between the pleats, adding a modern flair to the classic silhouette. As she walked, the skirt billowed gracefully in the breeze.
She paired the skirt with a cozy, watermelon-red cashmere sweater, which she gathered at the wrists for a relaxed, yet polished vibe. Letizia tucked the sweater neatly into her skirt, creating a seamless and sophisticated look. For her footwear, she opted for chic, pointy slingback heels in a sandy, neutral tone—a perfect choice for spring.
To finish off her look, Queen Letizia added a playful touch with dangling earrings adorned with colorful gemstones in green, lavender, purple, and yellow. Her makeup featured her signature maroon smoky eye and a glossy berry lip, which added a touch of drama to the otherwise soft and summery outfit.
While Letizia’s Adolfo Dominguez skirt isn’t available for online purchase just yet, we found a similar version from ME+EM priced at $495. The queen wowed attendees at the Mind, Brain, and Behavior Research Center (CIMCYC) at the University of Granada, where she attended a presentation on the interaction and communication between various body systems, all while looking effortlessly stylish.
