Queen Letizia of Spain repeats outfit for ambassador gathering at the Palace

It looked like a scene from Downton Abbey at Spain’s RoyalPalace in Madrid on Wednesday — with the women in gowns and the men in morning coats. King Felipe VI and hiswife Queen Letizia didn’t disappoint in their attire as well.

The 42-year-old Queen stood next toher husband as they welcomed foreign ambassadors to their home. She showed off her slender figure in along, straight skirt with a sequined blouse by one of her favorite designers,Felipe Varela.

The fashionable royalloves to repeat items from her wardrobe, and this time it was not any different. In fact, she wore this exact outfit in 2012 to the same event. Wednesday, however, she chose to wear her hair pulled back instead of down and had a slightly darker lip than three years ago. Letizia accessorized her most recent look with simple earrings.

According to eventorganizers, all present were asked to comply with a dress code and to weartheir best attire. It seems they all kept on trend and wore black, similar to Letizia.

Some of those in attendance were US ambassador James Costos and his husbandMichael Smith.

While Letizia loves towear a wide range of colors — most recently tons of red — she does blacksuperbly. Just a few months ago, she wore a gorgeous Carolina Herrera lace gownfor a gala reception with the President of Chile.
