Ten days later Queen Elizabeth II’s death, Queen Letizia honors the late monarch with all black outfits in London. The Spanish Royal Family with her husband, King Felipe VI, among 2,000 British and European royals as one of the guests arrive mourning Queen Elizabeth II on September 19, 2022.
When she arrived in London, Queen Letizia wore a black Hugo Boss dress complete with a brooch on her chest. The pearl and diamond brooch belonged to Queen Ena, also known as Victoria Eugenie, who British grandmother is Queen Victoria. Queen Ena was known for respecting and practicing the same customs as Victoria, thus strengthening the relationship between the Spanish and English crowns. This iconic piece of jewelry sits completely below the classic square-cut hem of Letizia’s Hugo Boss issue, with his hair pulled back in a low bun.
Visiting the reigning queen and attending a reception on September 18, Queen Letizia wore a black Carolina Herrera blouse paired with a simple pencil skirt. The shirt features floral embroidery at the collar, along with glossy sleeves. To keep the look particularly sophisticated, she pulled her hair up in a low bun and finished it off with diamond stud earrings.
For the state funeral on Monday, September 19, Letizia wore a Carolina Herrera lace-up midi dress with long sleeves. She outfitted the design with a matching Giorgio Armani clutch, Manolo Blahnik heels and black leather gloves. To eliminate the streamlined look of the dress, she left her hair loose, with an extra headband and Cherubina veil.
