Letizia reinterprets the ‘dress code’ of the Constitution’s oath: a recycled blue Carolina Herrera

It marked the label of the oath of Philip of Bourbon long dress for women and morning suit for men. It was in 1986. 37 years have passed since then. The outfit that looked Mrs. Letizia In the swearing of his daughter Leonor it took on a special meaning. The Queen knows how to reinterpret protocol. The dress code of this solemn session in the Cortes had to be adapted to the new times. Change of century, change of codes. It was an exercise in revisiting history. This has been her choice for an unpublished photograph of the Royal Family.

I expected an outfit somewhere between sober and serene, but with that air of distinction that the Queen brings. Whatever she chooses, she always personalizes it, elevates it, and makes it her own. It doesn’t matter if it’s a Carolina Herrera or a Zara. It’s because of his overwhelming personality. And bingo has been for Carolina Herrera. A blue dress with a drop neckline on the top and slight godets on the skirt. A blue, in honor of the color of the Principality of Asturias. The design has two floral brooches that elevate the look and provide festive sparkles. For this transcendental plenary session in the life of the Princess of Asturias, her mother has embarked on recycling, another sign of the new times.

In this long-distance race that the heiress stars in, condensed into a frenetic October of events, Mrs. Letizia has been measuring her dressing room. She has adapted it to the natural and nuclear prominence that her eldest daughter occupies. The Princess, this Tuesday, October 31, turns 18 and fulfills the duty established by the Magna Carta as heir and future head of State. The Queen, in the role of her mother, has repositioned herself in the new still photograph that from today makes up the Royal Family. Therefore, the look she has chosen is marked by those parameters.
