It was planned that the delivery of the National Culture Awards would be the second appearance of
Doña Letizia
after suffering from Covid, and so it has been.
A special occasion and celebration that required, as on other occasions, a very particular and special look, one of those that do not reach a rigid formality and that, however, must be kept within certain canons.
And if the Queen dominates something, it is precisely that
balance
between what is expected and, why lie,
the trend:
within
classicism, Doña Letizia has always included current touches
that set her apart from the tremendously traditional.
So it's not surprising that for this date, she has played with those ideas, opting for (eye) a
transparent shirt dress
It is not the first time that the queen goes to the transparencies, since her choice of a
white Sfera dress
that hinted at her silhouette was very popular.
But if at that time the transparencies were subtle and depended on how the light fell, for the awards ceremony, Doña Letizia has left aside the restrained and has opted for
a totally transparent fabric.
Of course, with another tighter dress underneath, creating a game of
overlays
that are reminiscent of the trend of the second tulle dresses that have been between us for several seasons... And that will be a trend next fall-winter 2022/2023, according to seen in Haute Couture fashion shows.

With midi length and sleeves, the silhouette falls within what can be expected from a shirt dress,
visible buttons and tailored collar included
.
Hence, the change of fabric seems even more necessary: it brings current, but also sophistication and a more nocturnal air to a piece that, otherwise, could have been very framed in the daytime, if not in a certain 'casual'.
This also helps, how could it be otherwise,
the matching belt of the same fabric of the dress
, which with a loop, cinches the waist of the queen,
balancing and providing the set
and avoiding the 'oversized' effect, nothing usual in Doña Letizia.
Another highlight of the dress is the
color choice, a pastel pink
with warm undertones that almost brings it closer to
peach
.
It is striking, since despite the powerful and determined character of the queen, she resorts to these softer tones on many occasions, either for a communicative message or for personal taste.
And if a few days ago light blue was the chosen tone, now it is the turn of the color that has dominated and will continue to dominate 2022. It is true that Pierpaolo Piccioli at Valentino prefers it in its most intense version, fuchsia, but pastel colors have appeared enough on the catwalk to consider them
an inescapable trend of the year
.
One that, incidentally, helps to elevate a dress that is usually more common within the range of neutrals.

Following that trail of basics with a different touch, there are
high-heeled shoes
.
They are beige and have
slingbacks
, a detail that takes them out of the purely conventional, but not the only one:
the transparent PVC strip
is that detail that helps the heels gain support without interfering with the desired visual effect.
That it is a small and subtle redundancy of the transparencies of the dress is the squaring of the circle.
Different conclusions could be drawn from these images, but we are going to keep two very clear ones.
The first is that it
seems that more or less subtle transparencies have entered Doña Letizia's wardrobe,
she feels comfortable with them and is writing a particular 'lady' user manual for them.
The second is that this look is not one to forget.
Not much less.
