Queen Letizia of Spain Dons Tweed Midi Dress With Frayed Details for Literature Awards Event

Queen Letizia of Spain opted for a unique fabric during her recent appearance at the “Miguel De Cervantes” Literature Award presentation on Tuesday. The royal was joined by her husband, King Felipe of Spain, for the event at the Alcalá de Henares University in Madrid.

The royal fashioned a tweed midi dress with frayed detailing on the cuffs of her sleeves and waistline. The dress featured shades of black, gray and lilac and a classic silhouette, to which the royal often gravitates. With the dress as the centerpiece of her look, Queen Letizia opted to wear black slingback heels courtesy of Massimo Dutti.
