Letizia attended the 38th edition of the Princess of Asturias Awards ceremony.

The lavish event was held at the Campoamor Teather in Oviedo, Asturias, northern Spain.

Her bag and shoes were both from Magrit. The clutch appeared to be a custom version of the Candy bag, which costs £159.22.

Letizia’s hair appeared to have been dyed a darker shade since earlier today.

However, a few silvery strands of grey were still visible.

The Queen wore a pair of diamond earrings she also wore yesterday evening at another glamorous event.

Letizia’s make up was dramatic, as she opted for a dark smokey eye and nude lip.

Last night Queen Letizia wore a £900 outfit and priceless diamond jewellery. 

However, the stylist dress made a fashion faux pas when she appeared to accidentally flash a little of her Spanx underwear.

The gorgeous Spanish royal wore a new dress from Emporio Armani.

She added the suede slingback pumps from Carolina Herrera, which cost £280.

She appeared to be wearing the Mary bag from Magrit which costs £213.52.
