Queen Letizia’s recent appearances showcased a clear fashion signature. For Spanish Heritage Day events, the monarch chose attire from Valencian designer Juan Vidal, highlighted by a blue model featuring a distinctive collar, a flowing midi skirt, and front buttons. This wasn’t her first nod to Vidal; she previously wore another of the designer’s looks at a 2016 reception at the Almudaina Palace in Palma de Mallorca.
The ensemble worn during the parade and the subsequent hand kiss boasted a romantic floral print in white and green tones, complemented by a relaxed skirt silhouette and gathered sleeves that added movement and ease to the outfit.
From Sorolla to Julia Roberts, Juan Vidal’s new inspiration
The opening piece of Vidal’s Soft Romantic collection is priced around 700 euros and can be found in variations such as collar options and a see-through version. Letizia styled the Vidal dress, which has become one of her favored silhouettes this season due to its comfort and versatility, pairing it with kitten-heel sandals for a balanced look that works in a formal parade setting or a daytime event.
In the previous year, the Queen selected a design from the Seville-based Vogana brand in blue with white polka dots, a bold cross collar, open sleeves with checked cuffs, a statement waist, and midi length. That outfit accompanied a military or ceremonial moment, echoing the formal tone of the swearing-in of Princess Leonor’s flag in Zaragoza. Earlier seasons also saw references to María Barragán’s creations, underscoring Letizia’s willingness to pair contemporary Spanish fashion with regal duties.
