When I see a Safari suit I think of Daktari 😂

Here's Leti at an event in a Carolina Herrera dress. It's very pretty and I like the length. Her hair and makeup on point. I'm somewhat jealous of the Cartier bracelet!

I love this whole outfit. The dress is so pretty. Less keen on the white one with lace trim.

Leonor's trouser suit is a little too big, but I think she's a really impressive young woman. She does a lot of engagements at quite a young age, it seems to me.

Oversized trouser suits are on trend! I thought Leonor was around 20 now, but she's still only 18. She seems to have taken on heir responsibilities earlier than her contemporaries.

The whole family were out again for the Princess of Asturias awards concert last night. They look great!

The Spanish RF all look great there. I like Leti's navy dress and gold accessories.

@KillingMeDeftIy I didn't realise oversized suits were on trend! The problem is that they're quite unflattering. I certainly wouldn't wear one.

KillingMeDeftIy · 25/10/2024 08:49

Yes, slouchy rather than fitted has been in for a while, though it can be hard to get the proportions right. I love mine! I like Leonor's too, my only quibble is that the trousers could be a tad longer. Though not so long that they swallow her feet!

RomainingToBeSeen · 25/10/2024 09:58

The Spanish Royals are a very good looking family when they are all together.

I love Leti's navy dress - it reminds me of some of Meghan's earlier (and very successful imo) outfits. Leonor has a real confidence about her now, presumably the military training contributes to that. I like her black and white skirt.

Yes they are; love that dress Leti wore!

I think Leonor is fab and am glad to see that she seems to be leaning into her role with confidence. I suppose each family has their own way of approaching training/work at a young age when it comes to the heir. And it depends on the personality of each young person too, and what's going on in their lives at that stage.

Yes I agree, I love the style of the Spanish Royal family and think Leonor and Sofia both have a really great fashion sense but so does their mother Queen Letizia who always looks fantastic and very modern. I like Kate but think sometimes she looks a bit frumpy.

Eaumyword · 25/10/2024 14:20

I really like Kate and her style too but think she's a cautious dresser. I love like Sophie that she doesn't make an engagement about her and doesn't attention seek through outfits.

That said, she's got a wonderful figure for clothes and Max, Mary and Leti and co look cool as well as appropriate, so it can be done.

I like that the Brit royals have relaxed a few staid protocols (eg: plain nails or Essie Ballet Slippers only/no trousers etc) and Kate can va va voom it a bit more.

justasking111 · 25/10/2024 14:34

Do you think it's because of our climate. In Europe the weather is so much warmer, their clothes are going to have more va va boom. I wore my winter wardrobe all bloody summer this year.

Didn't we all! I love summer dresses but only wore them a handful of times this year!

The Spanish royals together again to meet the winners of a university competition, while Princess Elisabeth marks her 23rd birthday with a Harvard photoshoot, and Camilla wore blue for the official dinner for the Commonweath Heads of Government in Samoa.

I know she divides opinion but I like her, she always dresses well and is very down to earth.

Yes, very lovely in this photograph. The two princesses certainly have a great sense of fashion and style.

AllTangledUpInTinselAndTiaras · 25/10/2024 19:00

She's great in so many respects, does a lot of important work, and so far has made an excellent Queen and consort to the King.

RockaLock · 25/10/2024 19:25

I saw the photo of Princess Elisabeth and thought it was very reminiscent of early photos of Kate, before she was engaged/married - when she used to wear her trusty knee high boots with everything and wore more casual outfits!

FabulousPharmacyst · 25/10/2024 22:04

I like that Princess Elisabeth is trying new looks. Very Lorelai Gilmore circa 1999

justasking111 · 25/10/2024 22:07

Leticia tonight. For the first time I translated the Spanish comments, she appears to be a marmite figure as Queen,.

KillingMeDeftIy · 25/10/2024 22:23

She always has been but there's also a lot of unhinged people on the internet!

AllTangledUpInTinselAndTiaras · 25/10/2024 22:26

Oh I do love a dramatic dress!

My parents lived in rural Spain for many years. The Spanish people are not keen on her. I think she's fab 👌

KillingMeDeftIy · 25/10/2024 23:10

About 20 years ago I remember a Spanish acquaintance saying how terrible it was that a divorced newsreader had married the heir to the throne!
