Queen Letizia has made a surprising gesture during her meeting with journalists that has honored the royal family

Queen Letizia has experienced one of her most significant afternoons today. Letizia attended, together with King Felipe VI, the presentation of the prestigious Mariano de Cavia, Luca de Tena, and Mingote awards, which are granted by the newspaper ABC. This is an unmissable event on the institutional calendar and is also one of the most desired summer events in terms of style and elegance.

Once again, Doña Letizia has lived up to expectations and has worn a new dress that has captured everyone's attention. This time, Doña Letizia chose a sophisticated black piece; the design, strapless and with a square neckline, left her arms uncovered. The fitted cut and midi length have styled her silhouette with absolute perfection.

It was an impeccable choice; with this dress, the queen managed to balance modernity and classicism. This isn't the first time she has surprised with a look that mixes elegance and boldness. Over the years, she has gone from more discreet designs to others with bolder touches, and this time, she has succeeded again.

For footwear, she wore Magrit shoes in shiny tones. The heel was sensible, due to the ailment she suffers in her foot.

This is a well-known problem that doesn't prevent her from keeping her poise. She finished the ensemble with a clutch in the same tone as the dress. Everything was measured to the millimeter.

However, the most talked-about gesture of the night came with the most symbolic accessory. Queen Letizia wore a necklace belonging to the "joyas de pasar."

This is a piece of great historical value that belonged to Queen Victoria Eugenia. This jewel was bequeathed to be used by the queens of Spain on special occasions.

A detail that connected tradition and present, and with it, Queen Letizia wanted to honor the history of the Royal Family.
