Queen Letizia of Spain Embraces Her Gray Hair With Stylish Streaks

Queen Letizia of Spain has always been a style star, and recently she proved once again that looking chic has no age limit. The fashionable royal attended a seminar last week on language and journalism in Logroño, sporting an elegant streak of gray in her brunette locks.

To pair with her new look, Letizia selected a pair of pleated wide leg trousers in a fawn-colored check pattern, a black top, and a black lambskin trench coat by Lottusse 1877. She accented the style with diamond hoop earrings by Gold and Roses, a black Nina Ricci 'Marche' shoulder bag, and chunky soled loafers by Martinelli.

Before joining the Spanish royal family with her 2004 wedding to Felipe VI of Spain, Letizia herself was a journalist, working as an anchor for news organizations like Televisión Española and CNN, so her presence at the seminar was a thoughtful nod to her pre-royal life.

Her look for the seminar marked the first time that Letizia has been seen with silver strands, despite appearing at a number of events in recent weeks with her signature brown hair. Earlier this month, she and Felipe joined the Danish royal family for a state visit in Denmark, including a glitzy state banquet where the bright gleam in her hair came courtesy of the Fleur-de-Lis tiara, sometimes known as "La Buena." The headpiece is closely associated with the queens of Spain, having been given by King Alfonso XIII in 1906 to his bride, Princess Victoria Eugenie of Battenberg (a granddaughter of Queen Victoria) and has been one of Letizia's go-to toppers since becoming queen.
