The Queen debuted this sky-blue design by the Spanish brand during the 2021 Hispanic Day celebrations and later brought it out again for another occasion, proving that some dresses never go out of style.
If Queen Letizia has demonstrated anything on more than one occasion, it is that she has no issue with repeating an outfit. Among the garments deserving of a second chance is a dress by María Barragán—the Spanish label she chose for the 2021 Hispanic Day celebrations and later retrieved from her wardrobe.
It is an elegant, custom-made sky-blue midi dress that stands out for its flattering silhouette and refined details. Featuring long sleeves, a V-neckline, and delicate side draping, the dress includes a matching fabric belt with a double silver buckle that defines the waist and adds a special touch to the ensemble.
The Queen debuted this design during the 2021 Hispanic Day and wore it again during an official trip to Zagreb, confirming that it is one of those garments worth giving a second life.
Queen Letizia and her relationship with María Barragán
Hispanic Day 2021 and her appearance in Zagreb in 2023 were not the only times Her Majesty wore a design by María Barragán. In 2023, Queen Letizia once again turned to the Spanish label for the concert preceding the Princess of Asturias Awards ceremony, wearing a pastel pink blouse with puffed sleeves—a move that solidified her relationship with the designer.
This choice did not go unnoticed, particularly as it marked a departure from her usual preference for Felipe Varela for this event. With this design, María Barragán secured a place in one of the country’s most scrutinized wardrobes, demonstrating that elegance can also be found in simple lines and subtle details.
