Letizia, a model despite herself

From her first public appearance on the day of the marriage proposal, dressed in an Armani suit jacket that was too big for her, to her last, during her walk through the center of Palma with shorts and espadrilles, Queen Letizia leaves no one indifferent . Her style has been evolving just like her face and her figure and she has lost naturalness, but she has gained poise.

From the way they dress, you can also follow their life trajectory. Her first years, in which she walked blindly through the corridors of the Zarzuela, coincided with the period in which she appeared clad in cheesy jacket suits or ornate dresses from Felipe Varela's workshops; when she rebelled against her role as a fairy tale princess she turned to low cost brands in an attempt to show that she was still one of us.

Her perfectionism made her abhor photos in which she was seen in profile, a side she never showed in the years when her photogenic frontal close-up wowed viewers. She had an operation on her nose, arguing a respiratory problem, and she undergoes constant facial treatments and a rigorous routine of physical exercises and food control. Since the stylist Eva Fernández takes care of her wardrobe, incorporating new firms and emerging designers, Letizia has managed to find her best image: regal in finery, stylish in the official agenda, and, more cheerful and imaginative, in her day to day , as in her recent summer appearance in a miniskirt. She is not always right, but it is not easy to dress to everyone's taste either and Letizia also plays to complain that only her wardrobe is talked about and, at the same time, provoke controversy.

In fact, the Queen studies each of her appearances and the more important they are, based on the repercussion, such as her recent role as hostess of the companions of the leaders attending the NATO summit, the more she works on it. She has already gotten used to being criticized on networks and in some programs, but she does not forgive herself that, in acts in which the image of the Crown or of Spain is at stake, her appearance can contaminate the message . She likes to be liked, but she cares much more about not being liked.
