Infanta Sofía has once again become the center of attention during her latest public appearance

After her much-discussed appearance yesterday, Infanta Sofía has traveled to the Galician town of Marín to welcome her sister after finishing her naval adventure. However, despite this emotional moment, the look she gave Leonor has sparked all kinds of comments.

This morning, the Spanish royal family experienced a day full of emotion. King Felipe and Queen Letizia presided over the oath or promise before the flag, as well as the ceremony for the delivery of royal commissions and appointments to the new Navy officers.

This ceremony took place on July 16 at the Marín Naval Academy, Pontevedra, and Infanta Sofía didn't want to miss it. The young woman traveled with her parents to Galicia to see how Leonor completed her training at the naval academy.

The most notable moment of the event was, without a doubt, when the monarch awarded his daughter, Princess Leonor, the Grand Cross of Naval Merit with white insignia. This recognition symbolizes a new step forward in her preparation as a future queen.

However, once again, Infanta Sofía couldn't avoid becoming the center of attention. Although her outfit was once again widely discussed, what stood out the most was the proud look she gave her sister.

This gesture didn't go unnoticed by anyone. In fact, in just a few hours, social media have been filled with comments about it. "The emotion of Queen Letizia and Infanta Sofía, with tears in their eyes and a big smile," said broadcaster José Moreno.

There is no doubt that Infanta Sofía's presence at this event served as a reminder of the strong bond she keeps with her older sister. In fact, this emotional moment left more than one anecdote to remember.

From the moment she arrived at the venue, the young woman appeared somewhat nervous and, for a moment, even stood in the wrong place next to her parents. However, she quickly corrected the mistake and everything proceeded naturally.

Meanwhile, throughout the event, Infanta Sofía watched every move and moment starring Leonor closely. So much so that, while Princess Leonor was receiving the Grand Cross of Naval Merit from her father, she didn't stop looking at her with admiration.

Nevertheless, the appearance of Felipe and Letizia's youngest daughter was doubly discussed, all thanks to the well-chosen outfit she picked for the occasion. Yesterday, the young woman became the center of attention by wearing a green Zara dress that belongs to her mother.

Today, Infanta Sofía once again opted for a sober and appropriate outfit for the occasion, consisting of a white blouse and navy blue pants. This outfit clearly evokes a naval style.

Despite the simplicity of the garments, the original touch came from the blouse. It is an asymmetrical piece, with three-quarter sleeves and a gathered waist, which gave it a modern and flattering air.
