Letizia of Spain and her husband Felipe hosted a state banquet in honor of the President of Colombia, Gustavo Petro, and his wife, Verónica Alcocer, on a state visit to Madrid.
The “reina” stood out: she wore a red haute couture dress with floral tiara.

Letizia of Spain, Carolina Herrera look
Red, as we know by now, is the fetish color of the Spanish queen. The look has a crew neck, bodice and short peplum sleeves and is by Carolina Herrera, one of the brands most worn by Letizia.

But to attract attention the two jewels.

Mellerio’s floral tiara is among the Crown Jewels. The queen wears it, very nonchalantly, like a headband.
The precious dates back to 1867 and is composed of three flowers. It belonged to the former Queen Sofia: she was given it as a gift by the Spanish government for her wedding to Juan Carlos.
Apparently she is the favorite of the seven tiaras she has available.
The bow-shaped brooch
Letizia of Spain then wore the bow-shaped brooch, made with diamonds. It originally belonged to Queen María Cristina of Austria, great-grandmother of King Juan Carlos I.
Letizia of Spain will be with Felipe at the coronation of Charles III on May 6th.
