Queen Letizia Debuts Green Tweed Dress at Spain’s National Day Military Parade

The selection reinforces her use of the National Day parade as a showcase for Spanish fashion.

Overview

  • Letizia arrived in a vibrant green tweed dress with a slim black belt, pairing it with black Massimo Dutti pumps, a Carolina Herrera bag, and emerald Tous earrings worn in their double configuration.
  • The Royal Family—King Felipe VI, Princess Leonor, and Infanta Sofía—appeared together at the event for the first time in four years.
  • The ceremony in Madrid’s Plaza de Neptuno began with the tribute to the national flag, with the King and Queen presiding over the Armed Forces parade.
  • Her wardrobe choice aligns with a long-running practice of highlighting domestic designers at this highly watched appearance, which has shaped her public style since 2004.
  • Recent years have underscored both fashion impact and practicality, from a rain-shielded red Poète look with kitten heels in 2024 to a post-2021 shift that broadened the roster of Spanish labels she promotes.
