The ceremony was scheduled this Thursday, January 26th but this did not prevent Queen Letizia of Spain from donning an evening dress. To receive, at the beginning of the year at the Royal Palace in Madrid, all representatives of the Diplomatic Corps accredited in Spain, in the presence of her husband King Felipe VI, Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy and the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation Alfonso Dastis, the Dona was in gala dress, whatever the time.

For this traditional new year reception, the wife of the Spanish sovereign had once again red dress Felipe Varela with lace sleeves and skirt, embroidered with floral patterns on the body in tone-on-tone lace. A sumptuous piece she had already worn, for the same occasion, in 2013 when she was still only Princess of Asturias. If at the time Letizia had left her hair detached, this year the Queen of Spain had chosen to give more solemnity to her look by wearing a braided bun which show off and premiered her red earrings jewelry from Parfois.

Dressed in a tweed dress which features cropped sleeves and a nipped waist, on her feet were a bespoke version of the Magrit 'Laura' pumps paired with her TOUS ruby, emerald and moonstone earrings, while Sofia appeared in a cherry red tailor, Letizia was entrusted with the task of awarding the prize named after her, the "Premio Reina Letizia". Sacrifying the Spanish athlete who distinguished himself most during the year in his sporting performance, both nationally and internationally, was Ruth Beitia. This European champion in high jump was in 2015 the first athlete of Spain to win the Diamond League, trophy awarded to the winners of the general classification in his discipline. And it did not stop at the moment since the young woman of 37 returned with a gold medal of the last Olympic Games disputed at Rio de Janeiro 2016.
