• The detail that confirms that Sofia is more interested in trends than her sister Leonor

  • From the elegance 'made in Spain' to the most sporty looks: all the outfits of Queen Letizia, Leonor and Sofía in the acts of the Princess of Asturias

We have the last test in the look of both in the delivery of the Princess of Girona Awards.

The Princess of Asturias chose a

sky blue dress

with a crossed neckline, midi length and flared skirt, from the Spanish brand Miphai.

As footwear, some heeled pumps in a beige tone.

Leonor, a

two-piece long asymmetrical top

with short sleeves, a round neckline and a button fastening on the back, and fluid pants in an ecru tone, from the Bruna brand.

She was wearing flat ballerinas with a pointed toe and crossed straps.

The result of both looks follows the canons of classic elegance of the eldest of the sisters and the more casual style of the little one, a feeling that was further enhanced through the hairstyle: Leonor wore her hair in a strict bun, without any loose strands, while Sofia wore her long hair loose and with very marked waves.

The keys to the style of Leonor and Sofía

A similar feeling remains after seeing the images of the two sisters in the

acts prior

to this awards ceremony, which they starred in on Sunday afternoon and Monday morning.

On these two occasions, both chose to wear

dresses and espadrilles:

the first of Leonor was midi length and the second a shirt dress almost to the feet, and the two of Sofia were miniskirts -one of the coolest trends of the summer-.

Just like Queen Letizia, Leonor and Sofía are followers of the latest trends, and it could be said that their mother's style can be seen in them, although each one interprets it in her own way:

the Princess of Asturias with a more classic touch, the

Infanta with an increasingly characteristic

boho air in her.

A touch of this from the youngest of the daughters of the Kings that is highlighted in her taste for printed and flowing dresses, without structures, for oversize

denim jackets

, ankle-length jeans,

monoshorts

and wide overalls.

Leonor and Sofía, a style for each role?

Perhaps Leonor's classic elegance and Sofía's more relaxed touch are due to their

institutional roles,

since the former is the heir to the throne.

We speak with

Marina Fernández, director of Communication and International Relations of the International School of Protocol,

who puts on the table the two possible options for this difference in styles: "It could be due to the institutional role of each one of them or, simply, to your personal taste."

Fernández clarifies that "I am sure that both Leonor and Sofía are advised when it comes to dressing for public events, they do not enjoy complete free will. Normally, they would be

offered two or three options

chosen by a stylist, probably the same as the of the Queen, and pre-approved, and that they chose between these".

The protocol expert opts more for

"the personal taste of each one, their way of being, their relationship with their body...".

A conclusion that she reaches because, "before Leonor left for Wales, both had received the same education, they had followed the same steps, they go to everything together, and taking this into account, I would be surprised if they made such great differences between them in something as visual and as exposed to the public as the way they dress".

Sky blue dress, two pieces asymmetrical

Leonor chose a dress with a crossed neckline and full skirt, very princely, and Sofia a two-piece asymmetrical tunic and fluid pants.

Midi dress, boho mini dress

On Sunday afternoon the two sisters visited Figueras: Leonor in a white dress with a coral print by Mango and Sofía in a minidress by Claudie Pierlot.

Braids

The two sisters combed their hair with braids: the older one, one that made a semi-updo of her hair, the little one with Africans in the front.

All a success.
