Queen Letizia of Spain Channels Barbiecore in Magrit Slingback Shoes at Spanish Gold Medals Ceremony
Queen Letizia of Spain put spring in her step with fuchsia slingback pumps from Spanish designer Magrit to present the Gold Medals for Merit in Fine Arts with her husband, King Felipe, on Wednesday at the Palacio de Congresos in Cadiz, Spain.
The Spanish Queen wore Magrit’s “Marian” slingback pumps in smooth, bright pink leather. The trendy yet elegant shoes feature a 2.4-inch stiletto heel, a slim curved heel strap, a pointed-toe and a squared-off vamp.
The Spanish Ministry of Culture has presented the Gold Medals of Merit in the Fine Arts to exemplary people and institutions in the arts and culture since 1969. This year’s event honored the 2022 medal recipients since the pandemic caused the 2020 honorees to be celebrated in 2022.

About Magrit
Magrit is a Spanish luxury shoe brand that was founded in Alicante by José Amat in 1929 in the artisan tradition. N the mid-century, José’s son Manuel found inspiration in Parisian haute couture and also expanded their reach to Europe and America. Magrit’s legacy of well-made shoes for the well-heeled of Spain continues with the fourth generation, Pepe Amat. The brand specializes in heels that bridge the gap between on-trend and classic and also sells bags and bridal shoes.
Queen Letizia’s Shoe Style
The Spanish queen has worn the Magrit “Marian” before, as well as many other styles from the Spanish designer, including strappy sandals and heels. The slingback pump stiletto and the classic pump are her favorite shoe styles, which she has also worn from other designers, including Isabel Abdó and Carolina Herrera. She is not afraid of bringing a modern, trendy touch to her regal style, such as when she wore Martinelli “Blunt” chunky black loafers in March.
