All hail the queen of bargains. Today in Madrid, Queen Letizia of Spain fulfilled her duties in a pair of affordable heels and a smart-chic suit — both are pieces she has incorporated in her wardrobe on other occasions.
The former journalist attended a commemorative event that recognized the anniversary of women’s acceptance into the civil guard. She greeted members of the servicewomen while dressed in a Hugo Boss cropped tweed jacket and matching skirt. The jacket, executed with black piping and fringed pockets, was worn over a simple black round-neck top that coordinated with her shoes.
