Queen Letizia of Spain made her arrival in London today ahead of the highly-anticipated coronation of King Charles III on Saturday. Joining members of the royal family and others at Buckingham Palace on Friday, she stood out in a pistachio-green dress at a reception held for distinguished guests from overseas.
Accompanied by her husband, King Felipe VI, Queen Letizia popped in a vibrant chartreuse dress that debuted on the runway at Victoria Beckham’s first-ever Paris show last fall. The A-line midi dress, featuring a gathered waist in front and flouncy short sleeves, is a part of the former Spice Girls’ spring 2023 collection.

The stylish royal, 50, tied her striking look together with a navy blue suede clutch and matching shoes for the occasion.
She coordinated with Magrit pumps that featured a classic pointed toe and stiletto heel measuring around 4 inches. Magrit, a longstanding Spanish brand founded in 1929, is one of her go-to favorite shoe brands.

Other notable reception attendees included U.S. first lady Jill Biden, Princess Charlene of Monaco, Queen Rania of Jordan and Princess Lalla Meryem of Morocco.
The Coronation Service, held at Westminster Abbey and conducted by the Archbishop of Canterbury, is a religious and formal ceremony that precedes the King’s Procession. After the service, King Charles III and Camilla, Queen Consort, will join other members of the Royal family in a parade towards Buckingham Palace.
