Tremendous buzz of press this morning at the Hotel de la Reconquista in Oviedo. It seemed like an international summit. We went from the lobby to the Council Room. The traditional hearings with the winners took place there. Among them, of course, was the attendance of Meryl Streep y Haruki Murakami, cult stars in cinema and literature. It is the first meeting of the Kings, Philip VI y Joyand their daughters with the distinguished ones.
In Leonor’s race against time to come of age, there is a stopover in Oviedo. The heiress presents the Princess of Asturias Awards in a ceremony that will be held this Friday the 20th in the afternoon at the Campoamor Theater. Before, in the morning, we attended the traditional hearings. For Leonor this 43rd edition has a special meaning. She is giving a speech for the fifth year in a row and, this time, the last one as a minor. Next year she, already 18 years old, will preside over the ceremony. If she keeps her father’s roadmap, she might chair the table alone.
In this highly media context, the luggage of Doña Letizia and her daughters is measured to the millimeter and looked at with a magnifying glass. In these morning hearings, Leonor has changed the script. She has gone from her H & M from last night’s concert, floral and festive, to a baby pink embroidered dress. Shirt, midi and feminine air. Transparencies and shine that found a difficult fit in this daytime event with students her age and award winners.
Sofía has taken a 180º turn. Normal. Yesterday we saw her with an ultra-urban cut-out jumpsuit, with its tie dye print, adapted to an evening event, and this morning she opted for a tweed two-piece with a bullfighter jacket and miniskirt. Ivory color. Style, a little sixtees.
Letizia, in Oviedo, follows a pattern. He chooses his day dress a lot, he usually uses recycling, but very very chosen. She saves herself for the awards ceremony. On the blue carpet of the Campoamor Theater she will present her great look of the year.
On this occasion, he has followed the slogan of recycling and has resorted to a very skimpy lilac jacket-pant suit from the Bleis Madrid brand. Plain lilac is a precursor to maximum discretion. In other words, a sober and austere look to reserve the grand premiere for the awards gala.
