Gold Star: Elena's Chic National Day

Everyone turns it up for National Day in Spain, as well they should. The gents never go wrong with their uniforms, and Queen Sofia doesn’t usually go wrong with her own version of the uniform, in one of her army of ladylike skirt suits. Princess Letizia brought her A game in tweed with a little lacy detail on the top. I hardly ever notice her jewelry because she uses it so sparingly, but the earrings (dangling, with pearls) are a fantastic complement here.

A gold star is the perfect accessory here, don’t you think?
