Letizia Ortiz, Princess of Asturias, is known as the "most charming princess" and is another fashion icon in the political arena following France's First Lady Carla Bruni and America's First Lady Michelle Obama. Since entering the royal family, this commoner-turned-princess has seen her fashion sense continuously rise, not only leading fashion trends across Spain but also becoming a fashion benchmark in European politics. She is well-versed in the art of fashion; whether it is high-end couture or mass-market brands like ZARA and Mango, she carefully coordinates them to create her own unique style. It is worth mentioning that the Princess's street style outfits are all very trendy, subverting her usual formal attire. It turns out her fashion style is not as dignified and serious as we imagined—if you don't believe it, compare them for yourself!
Flip-Flop Style
Street Style vs. Formal Gown Style
If you don't look closely, you might think it's Kate Moss (left image). Without the belt and high heels, flip-flops look comfortable and stylish.
Palette Style
Street Style vs. Formal Gown Style
Looking at the Princess's daily royal attire, the colors are mostly monochromatic; a two-tone combination like the one in the right image is the limit. A gradient palette dress like the one in the left image is simply never seen.
Printed Tank Top Style
Street Style vs. Formal Wear Style
Replacing the conventional suit and shirt in the right image, an ethnic-style sleeveless T-shirt can also make her the focus of the street.
Rolled-Up Pant Leg Style
Street Style vs. Formal Wear Style
Such a casual, workwear-inspired look is really hard to associate with a princess. The high-rolled pant legs are very down-to-earth, aren't they? It makes one think of a farm woman about to work in the fields.
Sunglasses and Silk Scarf Style
Street Style vs. Formal Wear Style
No bare shoulders or big wavy hair here; a short-sleeved T-shirt, a fringe scarf, and sunglasses easily complete the street look.
Pajama Style
Street Style vs. Formal Wear Style
One has to admire Princess Letizia's coordination skills; even with similar styles, the results are vastly different.
