Queen Letizia in fiery red Hugo Boss dress for "la Caixa" scholarships

Before the commencement of the event, Their Majesties and attendants observed a minute of silence in honour of the victims of the Manchester terrorist attack.

Queen Letizia looked resplendent in a new fiery red dress by her go-to brand, Hugo Boss.

The piece is the BOSS 'Daladi' Sleeveless Sheath Dress in Hibiscus Red (US$545). The contoured vertical seaming sculpts the beautifully fitted silhouette of this vivid sleeveless sheath. It is topped with a flattering notched-bateau neckline. It has sold out but the design is currently available in black from Sears where it is reduced to ​$218.99.

Letizia opted for tonal supplements and accessorized with her red python Carolina Herrera 'Maysa' clutch bag and red suede Magrit 'Alicia' D'Orsay pumps.

She finished the look with a new pair of leaf shape earrings.

The gold-plated 'Leaves Earrings' (€90.00) are from Spanish jeweller, El Mito De Gea. This is the first occasion Letizia has worn a design by the Valencia based boutique who specialize in handmade accessories.
