Queen Letizia wears fashion forward sleeveless jacket and bold monochrome look in Madrid

Queen Letizia of Spain, 45, shot up in the style stakes with her outfit today.

The Spanish royal wore a monochrome outfit which showed off her fashion nous.

Keeping cool in the heat, Letizia stepped out in a sleeveless white long jacket.

The jacket had four buttons and large lapels, and a white top could be seen underneath Letitia’s outerwear.

She paired this with a cropped black trousers to show off her slim legs.

Upping the fashion ante, Letizia wore a pair of flat black leather backless slip-on shoes.

A black leather bucket bag hung from her shoulder, and a pair of diamond cross earrings could be seen in her ears.

Unusually for the royal, her hair did not look freshly blowdried.

Her makeup, however, was impeccable, with simple nude lipstick and neutral eyeshadow highlighting her features.

Other than her earrings, Letizia was not wearing any jewellery.

Yesterday, Letizia chose a soft pink outfit as her and husband King Felipe, 50, welcomed Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto and his wife Angelica Rivera Hurtado to the Zarzuela Palace, Madrid.

Letizia chose a baby pink coat which featured a delicate multicoloured floral print.

The coat had a small collar and six green buttons, which she wore closed.

Keeping the look tonal, Letiiza opted for matching blush pink court shoes.

In her hands, Letizia held a green snakeskin clutch bag which picked up on the colours in her coat.
