Style icon: Queen Letizia sitting atop the fashion throne

Queen Letizia, 41, who just moved up the royal ladder, has always been atop the fashion throne. This woman is absolutely stunning and calling her merely a style icon is an understatement.

Like Kate Middleton, Letizia wasn’t the usual royal bride due to her middle-class background. Before marrying King Felipe in 2004, she had been a reporter and anchor. She also won the Madrid Press Association’s award for the best journalist under 30.



Be it her insanely enviable dress, her appreciation for lace, her blazer collection that puts our office wardrobes to shame or the gorgeous shoes that she owns, this woman defines the word classy. If you’re not already feeling the ‘Letizia effect’, here are some looks that will kick off your girl crush. Her style is impeccable — feminine, polished and sophisticated. Even though she may be a commoner at heart, she surely fits perfectly into the role of a queen.Published in The Express Tribune, June 23^rd,  2014.
