Before the coronation of Charles III. we were not thinking so much about the coronation itself – the course of the ritual is generally known in advance – but about what kind of fashion show the royal fashionistas will organize. Because under no circumstances would Princess Charlene of Monaco and Queen Letizia of Spain miss a chance to show off designer clothes that the press would then discuss for weeks.
We focus on the wife. Philip VI, who once again made a great fashion statement using clothing as a diplomatic tool. It’s a good idea to bring a dress from a local designer to Britain to show respect for the country. And Letizia made a great choice, also emphasizing her excellent taste.
The outfit in an interesting shade of grass with voluminous sleeves and drapery at the waist is also called a Bella Hadid dress – although of course it does not belong to her. The model acquired this unspoken “proprietary designation” by first appearing in a Vicky Beckham design at the show – so the image was associatively fixed to her. What to do, such a “side effect” if you are not just a model, but a superstar!
And Bella’s outfit was followed by her friend Kendall Jenner, who almost exactly repeated the catwalk outfit at the opening of Dubai’s Atlantis The Royal hotel. The main difference is “pointy” boots instead of fashionable pumps and latex leggings.
And Letizia went a different route, opting for classic stilettos, a handbag to match the shoes and a diamond brooch. Traditional, as befits a queen, but still fresh thanks to the unusual cut of the dress, with an emphasis not exactly on the waist, but a little lower. The author of the outfit, by the way, considers this look of the Queen of Spain a great honor for his fashion house – we agree with Victoria Beckham!
