This one is a very loose, double breasted jacket with loose trousers, and I just don't think it's very flattering or stylish.

Whereas this suit... I'm not a fan....
Felipe great as ever, the cut and colour does nothing for Leti. Hugo Boss again.

Agree that suit is not right on Leti. She looks swamped. Bizarrely again it is a Boss suit that looks like it is made out of unsuitable fabric and does nothing for her, like the salmon pink one

Yes, I'm wondering if that's not the designer for her? Her firm favourite is Carolina Herrara, and we know she likes Massimo Dutti and various high street brands.

The black feathery one is Pertegaz.

I quite like the black suit on Letizia. The hint of Fraggle stops it from looking too severe!

I agree that the suit risks looking severe without some form of embellishment, I’m just not quite sure that the black feathers work. It looks a bit half hearted to me. Maybe that’s why I’m not sure about them 😆

I love the idea of an Autumn/Winter collection titled Hint of Fraggle.

That could be our next thread @Maireas - "Royal S&B: Top tailoring, tiaras and just a hint of Fraggle".

How do you clean a jacket with feathery cuffs - can it be dry cleaned ?

You are so practical!
I shouldn't think you can put it in a regular 40°c cycle, unfortunately!

I doubt Leti has to worry about it anyway 😀

No, indeed!

Leti in a pink dress with burgundy sling backs. Sofia in a red suit. Leonor looks very impressive in uniform.

I love Leti’s feathery suit.

Maireas · 12/10/2026 17:53

I'm not so keen on the sugar pink but it's beautifully cut and I love the brooch.

Leti looks lovely in the pink dress. Interesting detail about the brooch. Her shoes are giving me envy. I can’t keep sling backs on as my heels are too skinny 😬

KiIIingMeDeftly · 12/10/2026 17:59

Letizia doesn't seem like a sugar pink sort of person, if you know what I mean, but she's worn it a few times now. I like Sofia's red suit too.

SqueakyDinosaur · 12/10/2026 18:01

The brooch is very much in the same style as Queen Alexandra's Wedding Necklace and its associated parure and is presumably around the same date (I think she and Ena were the same generation?)

I notice Leti doesn’t wear a weeding ring on her left hand. Does she wear one on her right hand ?
I like the pink. But I love that shade of pink anyway.

No, she doesn't wear her wedding or engagement rings.
