Letizia from Spain, present in Madrid on September 25 for the Retina Eco 2023 Awards, wore an elegant green dress. However, this clothing choice contrasts with the message she wishes to convey.
Monday September 25, Letizia from Spain, the devoted mother of Sofia and Leonor, a student in a military school, went to the Royal Tapestry Factory Foundation in Madrid to attend a very special awards ceremony: the Retina Eco 2023 Awards. This event was dedicated to promoting the environmental objectives of the United Nations and rewarded the most innovative projects in the fight against climate change.
The Queen Consort of Spain appeared like a vision of grace, wearing a green linen and viscose dress, elegantly slit on the left leg and artistically pleated on the right shoulder. A creation by Zara, which has the merit of remaining accessible to all budgets, costing less than 50 euros. To complete her look, Letizia chose a black belt from Boss to highlight her slim waist, as well as a pair of black pumps from Aquazzura. An ensemble that did not fail to attract all eyes, although for unexpected reasons.
However, the Queen Consort of Spain made a mistake that no one could have anticipated. Her choice to wear a Zara dress to an environmental event can be described as unfortunate, even ironic. Indeed, Zara, like other fast fashion giants, is not exactly a model when it comes to respect for the environment and human rights.

The Queen’s Misstep
Rated only 24/100 on the Clear Fashion index in terms of environmental impact,he Spanish label has often been the subject of criticism for its environmentally harmful practices and the sometimes deplorable working conditions of its employees around the world. So while Letizia certainly saved on her look of the day, this decision could cost her dearly in terms of reputation, placing her at odds with the event she was attending.
The lesson from this situation is clear: even the most savvy public figures can make missteps when it comes to fashion choices.
