White dresses are not just for weddings, as Princess Letizia so elegantly shows. Yesterday, June 25, 2009, the Crown Princess of Spain accompanied her husband Prince Felipe to the designation ceremony of the new honorary ambassadors of the “Spain Brand”.

Princess Letizia’s simple white dress was perfect for a summer event. It’s not just a plain white dress, of course. The fabric was textured, and the princess further dressed it up with a green jeweled belt (which I love!), dangly earrings, a tiny white purse and a pair of green snakeskin shoes. She also had what appears to be a green scarf, probably as a just-in-case-it-got-chilly precaution.

Looky these adorable heels recently worn by Spain’s Princess Letizia. Today’s fashion feature is a look at one red and one black pair, both high and both royally cute.

Princess Letizia wore this red velvety pair to the inauguration of PhotoEspana 2009 art festival at the Madrid Botanical Garden on June 3, 2009. It evokes a gladiator feel without going overboard. The Crown Princess, who is petite, always wears towering platform heels like this (having a very tall husband in Crown Prince Felipe pretty much necessitates it). At the art exhibit, she partnered these shoes with a flower print dress and a purple clutch.
