King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia have travelled to Granada to celebrate the central act of the Day of the Armed Forces 2023, the annual commemoration of a national festival that honors the Armies and promotes knowledge and integration between them and society.

Last year the commemoration was held in Huesca, and for the occasion QueenLetizia, on a hot day, chose to wear a dress with a neck to the box and bare arms in sky blue and dark polka dots of the Spanish and sustainable brand & Me Unlimited.

This year, however, the Queen has left aside the dress to wear a two-piece style, where a multicolored skirt has been the star piece.

It's the third time we've seen the Queen this week. In the main event of the World Day of the Red Cross and Red Crescent, held at the Círculo de Bellas Artes in Madrid, she premiered a colorful ikat print dress from the brand Philippa 1970, a firm 'made in Spain' that has already been carried, among others, Paula Echevarría.

It was not on the agenda, but Queen Letizia did not miss her almost obligatory visit to the Madrid Book Fair, where she was seen with a look that is usually usual when she gives the 'casual' surprise: sailor striped shirt, frayed black jeans on the bass and dancers.

The Sevillian look of Queen Letizia on Armed Forces Day

Queen Letizia did not want to stay far from Granada when choosing the look of the day. He has opted for a two-piece styling, abandoning for a moment the spring and summer dresses to which he likes to resort so much. A white blouse is accompanied by the star garment, a multicolored skirt signed by the Sevillian designer José Hidalgo.

It is not the first time that Queen Letizia resorts to this needle that moves like a fish in water in flamenco fashion, her natural territory, which instead does not hesitate to leave to adapt to those who, like the monarch, like the colors and prints characteristic of these designs, let's talk about the colorful like the water of today's skirt or the polka dot dress she wore to receive in Madrid to Jill Biden a year ago.

If we delve a little deeper into the skirt of the Sevillian José Hidalgo, we will say that it is a long midi design, the Queen's favorite, and flared cut. Of rigid fabric that respects the pattern, it is printed with a kind of flowers 'to the water', as in watercolor, little defined in form but much in color: yellows, oranges, greens and mauves are combined perfectly in it.

In order not to detract from the prominence of the star piece, Queen Letizia has combined it with a white blouse without a collar and a peaked neckline, crossed like the wrap dresses popularized by Diane Von Furstenberg, with a very marked shoulder and sleeve with volume up to the elbow.

Goodbye bun, hello ponytail: the detail of the earrings

If in the previous celebrations of the Day of the Armed Forces Queen Letizia had opted to comb her long hair in buns back, today the hairstyle has been another of her original bets.

Because Doña Letizia has not opted for loose hair, which she likes so much, nor for the bun, another of her great hair resources, but for a very low ponytail, one of those that favor so much, combed with a stripe on one side very marked, and very smooth and polished.

Not only the ponytail is key when it comes to highlighting its styling, it also underlines the earrings chosen for the occasion, striking, of small colored stones, which look like a constellation.
