First appointment on the official agenda Don Felipe and Doña Letizia on his state trip to Holland. After landing at Amsterdam Schiphol airport, the monarchs attended the reception of the Spanish community residing in the country, which was attended by 200 compatriots representing the 40,000 who reside in the Netherlands. As on other occasions, the queen has chosen to change her outfit during the flight and replace the black suit with which she took off from Madrid with a very daring gala look that has captured the spotlight of the day: satin skirt and bare shoulders .
Letizia is a chameleon and she shows it in every appointment, whether official or private. She can dress up in a haute couture suit or strap on a pair of jeans and wear it all with the same naturalness. On this occasion, she has veered from the classicism of the black tailor to an outfit typical of the most sophisticated influencer with a sensual touch to which she has us little accustomed. Letizia has arrived at the NH Collection Hotel Amsterdam Barbizon Palace with a two-piece set consisting of a satin lingerie skirt signed by Hugo Boss with a fluid silhouette that marked her figure and whose price (on the firm’s website) reaches 6,000 euros.
The queen has combined it with a black top with a crossed Bardot neckline and long black sleeves, matching the belt, bag and sandals, some kitten heels slingbacks with which she is very comfortable.
The king offered a few words to all the guests, Spaniards residing in Holland: “Many of you arrived years ago, you have put down roots and are protagonists of stories of success and improvement. Our most sincere recognition for what you have achieved and for be an example for your families. But I would also like to refer to those of you who have recently come to the Netherlands to work in companies or to study, both in Dutch universities and in their research and teaching centers. We trust and hope that you have a good time. and progressive adaptation,” he added. “I do not want to expand further because the Queen and I want, above all, to take advantage of this opportunity to be with you and listen to you. We thank you for your contribution, if you allow me, to the ‘Spain Brand’, to spread a human, social and of our country of which we are very proud, for the image of professionalism, efficiency and modernity that you project in the Netherlands. We encourage you to continue like this and we wish you and your families the best.
