Royal Style Duel: Letizia vs. Aimée

 Last year, we saw this Mango dress modeled by our usual Mango model, Letizia:

And this year, it's déja vu my friends, on Dutch Princess Aimée earlier this month:

Suit up, it's time for a duel! Who wore it best?



Me, I'm actually rooting for Letizia. Dark tights with light shoes make me want to crawl in a hole and cry. Plus, I dig the chunky belt. Et toi?

Week in Review: Princess Letizia, 23-29 January

Here's what Princess Letizia wore the week of 23-29 January:

1.  At the ballet, 24 January. A good look for a private occasion, I think. I even like the scarf.
2. a) Audiences at Zarzuela Palace, 27 January, b) the jacket from Mango. When I first saw this, I thought we might be having a Mr. Rogers moment, because this jacket sure did look like a cardigan. But it's clearly not, and the overall look is pretty well put together.

Okay, I can't say I'm in love with any of this, yet I still think this was a good week for Letizia. Your opinions?

Week in Review: Letizia, Princess of Asturias, 19-25 September

Here's what Princess Letizia wore the week of 19-25 September:

1.  Opening the new school year in Lardero, 20 September.
2. Opening an exhibit in Castile and Leon, 23 September, a) front view, b) dress and cardigan from Mango, and c) the back view because you need to see the patches on the elbows.

What a gloomy week.  I can't even get excited about the skirt length or the professorial cardigan and gladiator-esque sandals combo on the second outfit, these colors have so depressed me.

Week in Review: Princess Letizia, 29 August - 4 September

Here's what Princess Letizia wore the week of 29 August - 4 September:

1. Dinner in Mallorca, 30 August. Looks like she's trying a little Mette-Marit move with the shoes there.
2. Audiences, 31 August. OH NO. She brought back the Hammer pants. Just to spite me, I'm sure of it.
3. Audiences, 2 September. Uh oh, somebody caught the stripe infection from her sister-in-law. Is it just me or is this dress just out of character for her? I mean, I'm surprised she chose it. Doesn't feel like her style.
4. Audiences, 3 September. This one again.

Best and Worst of the Week

I don't mind the striped dress, but the jacket adds a little Miami Vice flair to it that I can't get with. So the best has to be the blue one, school-girlish as it is, because the silver get up just doesn't make my skirt fly up. Nothing, though, is worse than the Hammer pants.
