Queen Letizia was spotted attending the national final of scientific monologues “Solo De Ciencia” at Circulo de Bellas Artes in Madrid on Tuesday afternoon wearing a pair of white lace-up sneakers.
Keeping it comfortable for the occasion, the shoes were constructed with a mesh upper and a durable rubber outsole that contributed to its breathable nature. The sneakers also featured a precise lace-up design in the upper, accompanied by a leather lining on the outer. Stopping at her ankle, the silhouette was rounded out by a beige cream colorway that accompanied the rest of her outfit. As for the rest of her ensemble, the Royal elected to wear a matching monochromatic fit that consisted of a cut-out shoulderless blouse and matching white trousers. She accessorized her look with a small pair of hoop earrings that accentuated her loose flowy locks and natural dewy makeup.
The flat sneakers are actually a departure from what Queen Letizia typically wears for her major events, as she typically chooses elevated shoes for those specific occasions. In April, the Queen wore a pair of Carolina Herrera slingback pumps alongside Queen Maxima of the Netherlands while at a ceremony welcoming the Spanish royals at the Royal Palace of Amsterdam. The pumps featured beige leather uppers and a mid-sized stiletto heel. Also in April, she was spotted in another colorway of those very same pumps alongside King Felipe of Spain while visiting the exposition of mural painters at Museum Straat. Those shoes were made with patent leather and boosted a classic pointed-toe design, a dark navy upper characterized by a thin dark blue ankle strap, a contrasting brown outsole and a sharp stiletto heel that measured between 2 to 3 inches.
