Gold, silver, and bronze have been on everyone’s minds this Olympic season, and Queen Letizia of Spain made a major metallic statement in a shimmering silver dress and sparkling earrings in Mallorca on Sunday.
The King and Queen of Spain have recently been in residence at Marivent Palace, their summer home in Palma de Mallorca. The King’s mother, Queen Sofia, has also been with them at the palace, where she resides for much of the year. On Sunday, Queen Letizia headed out for a glitzy night on the town, attending the closing gala of the Atlantida Mallorca Film Festival. She’s pictured here during the gala with Marga Prohens (President of the Balearic Islands), the actor Michael Douglas, Jaume Ripoll (director of the festival), and Elma Saiz (Spain’s Minister of Inclusion, Social Security and Migration). Douglas was honored with the festival’s Masters of Cinema Award.
Queen Letizia arrived at La Misericordia Cultural Centre wearing a summery silver-taupe gala ensemble. Her liquid-look dress, per UFO No More, comes from Boss, one of the diffusion lines of the brand Hugo Boss.
Letizia added even more silver sparkle to her ensemble with her accessories, carrying a glittering silver-toned evening bag and wearing a pair of modern silver statement earrings.
The earrings are the “Rita” style from the Spanish jewelry designer Bárbara Goenaga. The double-diamond earrings are made of sterling silver and set with more than 100 white topaz gemstones.
The designer took inspiration from a Hollywood icon when creating the earrings. Here’s a closer look at the earrings from the brand’s website, which notes, “This earring is inspired by the elegance of actress Rita Hayworth… An ideal earring for any type of event, but also perfect to wear with jeans and a white t-shirt.”
Goenaga is both an artist and an actress, so it makes sense that she would draw inspiration from an iconic screen star, especially one with Spanish roots herself. (Hayworth’s grandfather was a famous flamenco dancer.) A film festival, an actress/jewelry designer, a pair of earrings inspired by classic film–definitely a clear style vision at work here.
This is Letizia’s second recent outing in the Rita earrings. The first came in May, when she presented a children’s literature award in Madrid. On that occasion, she paired the earrings with an ivory trouser suit.
The earrings added some modern zing to the jacket and trousers, but I think they needed the slinky silver Boss gown to reach their full impact.
