her shirt dress with a nod to Catalonia

Queen Letizia has presented herself this Tuesday in Barcelona to chair the meeting of directors of the Instituto Cervantes centres. A fact worth noting, since the growing pressure from the independence movement has meant that the presence of the royal family in Catalonia has become increasingly smaller. In fact, it had been years since the consort had come to Barcelona alone, and for the occasion she did so by choosing a dress that was a nod to the Catalan people.

For the event, Felipe VI’s wife debuted a floral shirt dress perfect for summer. And, of course, she opted for one of her favourite brands: Carolina Herrera. She has added some earrings to her wardrobe Alla choice that can be perceived as an approach to the Catalan territory, since both firms are closely linked to Catalonia: The Venezuelan designer’s brand is controlled by the Puig company, which operates in Catalonia; and the jewelry brand is originally from Manresa.

The dress is a midi-length design made of crepe de chine and a silk blend. The bodice is fitted and the skirt is voluminous and pleated at the front. It stands out for its contrasting floral prints and shirt collar, concealed button placket closure and long sleeves with shirt cuffs and pearl cufflinks. Queen Letizia has incorporated a fuchsia bag into this look, matching the colors of the dress, and which also belongs to Carolina Herrera..

The sandals have a wide and low heel.which ensures Her Majesty greater comfort, considering the injury she suffered a few months ago and which forces her to occasionally wear slippers.

The shoes are a Hugo Boss model in whiteThey are made of nappa leather with a thin strap at the ankle and a padded ankle. They have a 5 cm heel. They are also available in black.
