Queen Letizia of Spain walked down the aisle [1] of the Cathedral Santa María la Real de la Almudena in Madrid to marry King Felipe VI [2] 13 years ago, and we still can't get her dress out of our heads. The long-sleeved gown was so intricate; we're probably still trying to process every detail.
The designer behind the queen's impressive dress was couturier Manuel Pertegaz [3], who embroidered the structured open collar, cuffs, and hem of Letizia's ivory dress with real gold and a floral pattern. But the real gold wasn't even the best part — file that under things we never thought we would write — it was all about the 14-foot train (which, for the record, also featured gold) and the lace veil laid over her updo, delicate diamond tiara, and dress. The stylish royal [4], who constantly shocks us with her fashion choices, paired the unbelievable and certainly princess-worthy dress with delicate diamond drop earrings and pointy heels.
