Letizia, 'Queen of thrift' and 'style icon', according to British press

QUEEN Letizia has hit the headlines in the UK for being 'another Royal recycler' after she was seen wearing the same pullover at three different public engagements.
Her black-and-white checked three-quarter sleeved wool top, by the Danish label Designers Remix, was combined flatteringly with tapered black Hugo Boss trousers, four-inch-heeled black patent courts, a red 'bubble' clutch bag by Tissa Fontaneda, and matching red lipstick and red drop earrings as she attended the 10th anniversary ceremony of the Fundeu foundation, part of the BBVA bank, in Madrid.
The TV reporter-turned-reigning Monarch, wife of King Felipe VI wore the same knitted top at a charity leaders' conference in the Zarzuela Palace in November, this time with red high heels although with black trousers in a similar style, and pearl drop earrings by Links of London.
And the outfit, together with the same red heels, was seen when the glamorous Queen manned a Red Cross stall in Madrid in October.
Dubbed 'the Queen of thrift', Letizia is not afraid to be seen in the same outfit several times - and practically everything she wears gets the thumbs-up from fashionistas and the international media.
She is just as likely to be photographed wearing designer dresses worth hundreds or thousands of euros - like her navy, black and cream Carolina Herrera dress at the Culture Awards ceremony this week, which cost around €2,300 - as in budget high-street gear from Mango and Zara.
