Royal Style - Leti loves a linear look, but Maxima's mantra is more!

[Maireas]

With tiaras galore! Thanks for the title, @Eaumyword.
Looking for @TracyBeakerSoYeah for the link!

Here's an article with some of Leti's best moments.
I know what you mean about some of the day wear, I think it's deliberately low key, and is possibly reflective of what's happened in the Spanish royal family (and why she doesn't wear her wedding and engagement rings).
However, some of her evening looks are stunning. There's a red one shoulder number that's gorgeous.

Princess Stephanie looks lovely in that picture, that's a gorgeous colour on her.
Beatrice Borromeo always looks chic.
Maxima is a joy to behold, mad pringle hats, voluminous trousers, bright colours and jewellery you can see for miles. She has such joi de vivre, though!

Oh yes, when she gets it right she looks amazing - her Buckingham Palace off the shoulder red dress was stunning. I’ve added another few past looks that I wholeheartedly love on her.

Slide 5 of that gallery is another total needle scratch for me there Maireas! (The yellow dress and ling-line coat with lace trimmings)

Oh, I agree. It's ghastly!

I love the red evening dress she's wearing when standing next to HM (in the Harper's Bazaar link). I also think that the Spanish tiaras are fabulous!

That long red dress is one of my faves on Leti.
And the Fleur de Lys tiara is making me rethink my fave 🤔

Thank you! I’m torn between that one and the Vladimir 🙈

Have them both.
I want Leti's earrings that match that tiara.

I’m a reader not a contributor usually but have you seen this?

I love this on her! But so odd that it was her MIL’s!

Not sure the photo attached .

I'd not seen that! I wish more of them would raid wardrobes, there must be some great stuff in storage.

Oooooh, earrings to match 😍

That looks really lovely on her.

Queen Sofia has some lovely dresses in her archive, I’d love to see Leti dip into it more, as she looks good in that one.

Max has recycled one of Queen Beatrix’s old dresses. She obviously couldn’t resist the dress - green, glittery AND Feathers . And another daughter in law, Princess Mabel rewore the dress Queen Beatrix wore for her engagement photo shoot to another family wedding (awww!).

Victoria and Madeleine quite often rewear dresses from their mother Queen Silvia’s wardrobe - Victoria to the Nobel ceremony, notably, and Madeleine for her evening gown at her wedding. It must be great getting to shop in a wardrobe of vintage gowns!

I'm liking the vintage dresses! 👍 Reckon we'll see Kate in one of Diana's? 🤔 Might be a bit weird that...

These are vintage Valentino, Leti - recycle one of these, please!

Those Valentino dresses are beautiful. It would be good to see more vintage clothes reworn - there must be some sort of warehouse or storage with incredible tailoring hidden away.

I wonder how much that green dress had to be altered? Maxima is quite a lot taller than Beatrix.

I don't like Letizia's latest - looks a bit boring and 80s.

Right, which one of you is responsible for this??

I know it's not me because I don't own a sharp suit and I can't participate in a high speed chase as I have raging arthritis and am carrying a lot of lockdown weight 🤷‍♂️

You may have seen me in a grey Beemer, but it's actually more of a light silver, really.
Plus my sharp suit was at the cleaner's.
(sits looking at shiny items..... precious..)

Really enjoyed the Harper's Leti retrospective. Love the leather shift dress!

TIARA EVENT KLAXON

The Swedish RF have hosted a gala dinner and Queen Silvia and CPV are both in tiaras. CPV has nailed it in that red dress imo. Lovely to see some bling.

That green dress Max is wearing is a fail for me - fantastic clear colour on her, but too much stuff going on with the mad feathers/glitter/peacock eyes combo.
Serenster, I love that second photo of the vintage Valentino grey and cream panelled gown. Now that is timelessly fabulous.
