While Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle may have enviable summer wardrobes, some of the best warm-weather royal style consistently comes courtesy of Queen Letizia of Spain. Her seasonal style strikes the perfect balance between polished and effortless, with breezy dresses, tailored separates, and plenty of espadrilles in the mix. Better yet, many of her summer 2026 outfits are surprisingly easy to recreate. Here, how to shop nine of Queen Letizia’s best looks of the past season:

Summer is when royal women bring out their best ivory and cream hues, and Queen Letizia’s outfit at the Spanish royal family’s annual reception at Marivent Palace was no exception. Wearing a bespoke dress from Sybilla, she accessorized with Aquazzura gold leather sandals and diamond earrings from Spanish brand Gold & Roses. While her dress is not for sale, here are some similar v-neck dresses:

At both the World Cup and the royal reception for the winning team, Queen Letizia displayed her patriotism in solid red dresses from Adolfo Dominguez.
