The visit to Madrid brought together King Felipe VI of Spain and Queen Letizia as hosts for the Colombian president, Gustavo Petro, and First Lady Veronica Alcázar. The gathering took place in the Spanish capital and was noted in recent press coverage about the high-level diplomacy.
For the occasion with the head of state and the First Lady, Queen Letizia wore a white lace sleeveless dress from the accessible Spanish brand Sfera. The ensemble referenced a dress she had previously worn at a public appearance last summer. Veronica Alcázar matched the moment in an embroidered white dress chosen for the visit to the royal residence, underscoring a coordinated, elegant tone for the diplomatic engagement.
Both women completed their outfits with beige low-heeled footwear, a practical choice that complemented their light ensembles and the formal setting of royal hospitality.
Following their private audience at the Royal Palace of Madrid, a formal dinner was hosted to continue the discussions in a more relaxed, social atmosphere. The event underscored the value placed on personal diplomacy alongside formal talks, with guests exchanging views on bilateral cooperation and regional issues.
The Colombian delegation will remain in Spain through Friday, May 5. During their stay, officials noted that King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia are slated to attend Charles III’s coronation ceremony at Westminster Abbey in London on the following day, reinforcing the solid ties between the two nations and the involvement of the Spanish royal family in significant Commonwealth celebrations.
There had been prior reporting that King Felipe VI appeared in public wearing a tie that complemented Queen Letizia’s outfit, illustrating a coordinated approach to dressing for state events and public appearances, a tradition often observed in royal circles.
