She favours contemporary silhouettes and sharp tailoring, seamlessly blending contemporary dressing with classic styles.
Stepping out on official duties yesterday, she stunned in a deep crimson midi dress featuring long-sleeves, a round neck and form-fitting shape. Adding some interest to the understated piece, she wrapped a chunky black belt above the waist, creating a flattering silhouette and breaking up the tonal piece.
A pair of black suede knee-high boots and a black top-handle handbag completed her seriously sophisticated look.
Deep red hues are fashion's favourite colourways right now, continuing from the latter months of 2024.
For an unexpected public outing earlier this week, the Princess of Wales also wore a luxurious-looking deep red ensemble. She made a poignant appearance at the Royal Marsden in Chelsea - the private hospital where she received her course of preventative chemotherapy in 2024.
She wore a burgundy roll-neck jumper paired with an A-line maxi skirt from Edeline Lee in a similar hue. A pair of brown suede court heels and a houndstooth coat in a similar hue completed her ultra-elegant winter look.
The two fashion-forward royals' 'same but different' outfits demonstrate their varying sartorial agendas. Princess Kate prefers preppy dressing with classic pairings, whilst Queen Letizia is slightly more experimental in her stylistic choices, wearing a chunky belt that would easily slot into the fashion agendas of the globe's most coveted cool-girls.
