Bet You Never Thought Leather Could Look So Regal

Queen Letizia of Spain just stepped out in a leather dress that's about to show the whole world how polished and, dare we say, regal leather can actually be. Though it's gotten a rap as a fashion-forward look, something edgy and sexy and tough to pull off, leave it to the Spanish royal to save its reputation with one flawless appearance. Actually, this isn't the fashion-conscious queen's first time in leather; the tailored leather dresses she's worn before are all perfect examples of how chic — and wearable — it can be. Though this burgundy-hued sheath may be our favorite yet, especially in time for Fall. So while we don't suspect we'll see Kate Middleton in a leather look anytime soon, there are plenty of reasons to slip into your own version of the queen's look.
