Princess Leonor has once again become the center of attention during her latest public appearance, but not for the obvious reasons. A subtle gesture from the future queen of Spain has brought back one of Doña Letizia's most memorable moments.

It was last Monday, July 21, when the kings and their two daughters traveled to the province of Catalonia to attend the 2025 Princess of Girona Foundation Awards.

During these days, Princess Leonor and her family have participated in several activities related to this event, both in Barcelona and Girona. However, it wasn't until Wednesday, July 23, that the main gala was held.

During the trip, all members of the Spanish royal family dazzled with their outfits. However, this time, all eyes have been on the eldest daughter of Felipe VI and Doña Letizia.

Princess Leonor has chosen a white pantsuit. This outfit inevitably reminds us of the one her mother wore on one of the most significant days of her life.

It was on November 6, 2003, when Queen Letizia starred in one of her most memorable appearances. That day, both she and King Felipe publicly announced their engagement.

For the occasion, the mother of Leonor and Sofía opted for her now-iconic white two-piece suit from Armani. This suit consisted of a jacket with a funnel neck and straight pants, a style that undoubtedly marked a turning point in her personal image.

Now, everything suggests that Princess Leonor wanted to pay tribute to her mother during the 2025 Princess of Girona Foundation Awards by wearing a very similar outfit. However, the young woman has given it a more modern and personal touch.

Despite her iconic white suit, it has always been said that red is the color that best represents Queen Letizia. However, her eldest daughter seems to have found her own signature in white.

So much so that, this time, Leonor has once again chosen it as her favorite option. For the end of her schedule, during her visit to the town of Sant Martí Vell, the heiress wore a classic and elegant white ensemble.

This is a suit consisting of a fitted blazer and palazzo pants. This choice highlights qualities such as maturity and leadership, which are essential in her institutional role.

Underneath the suit, she chose to wear a white top that added lightness and a summery feel without losing its formal character. To complete the ensemble, she opted for espadrilles and a matching bag. As a striking detail, Princess Leonor added a gold choker and several rings that enhanced her look.
