Just like Meghan Markle [1] and Kate Middleton, Queen Letizia of Spain is a force to be reckoned with when it comes to fashion [2]. For the 20th anniversary of Spanish newspaper La Razón, Letizia (who was a journalist before she married King Felipe) wore a black crew-neck top and a gorgeous gold pleated skirt, which immediately gave me party season vibes. Paired with a black coat that she draped over her shoulders, a clutch, suede boots, and delicate pendant earrings, her ensemble was incredibly chic yet modern.
Of course, pleated skirts and dresses have always been a go-to for the royals. Just last month, Meghan Markle wore a stunning pleated midi skirt [3] by Givenchy while on her first royal tour in New Zealand, and Kate Middleton has worn the style more than once [4] over her years as Duchess of Cambridge.
