Letizia\u2019s burgundy Carolina Herrera midi was gathered across its one-shoulder neckline, fitted bodice and hips, with a long gold zipper running down one side. The zipper continued into the draped skirt and ended in a teardrop-shaped pull near the opening above her knee. She added a textured, metallic Zoena box clutch in the same tone.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"c-lazy-image__img lrv-u-background-color-grey-lightest lrv-u-width-100p lrv-u-display-block lrv-u-height-auto\" src=\"https:\/\/wwd.com\/wp-content\/themes\/vip\/pmc-wwd-2021\/assets\/public\/lazyload-fallback.gif\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/queen-letizia-spain-gucci-horsebit-signora-slide-sandals-details.jpg\" alt=\"A closer look at Queen Letizia's Gucci Signora Slides.\" data-lazy- data-lazy- height=\"753\" width=\"1024\" decoding=\"async\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\tA closer look at Queen Letizia\u2019s Gucci Signora <a href=\"https:\/\/wwd.com\/footwear-news\/shoe-industry-news\/frankie4-coast-shoe-collection-summer-sandals-slides-1238648162\/\" id=\"related_article_link_slides\" data-tag=\"slides\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Slides<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCarlos Alvarez<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tThe Signora is only the second Gucci shoe style documented in Letizia\u2019s wardrobe, and it shares one recognizable detail with the first. She wore the house\u2019s black leather Jolene mid-heel pumps in January 2015 and again in January 2016. Those were closed, round-toe pumps, but Gucci\u2019s gold Horsebit sat across the vamp in much the same place.
