He wore a two-piece suit, a button-up jacket and straight trousers, all white and tailored, as mentioned by Vanitatis. The outfit for Leonor has a very special symbolism because it is very similar to the one her mother wore for the first official photo with her first-born daughter in her arms after her birth.

A choice that clearly leans towards the style of her mother, Doña Letizia, who we often see at official events in similar clothes. Even one very similar to the one he used years ago when he was asking for her hand in marriage.

The look is also a symbol of feminism, as pointed out by Diario de Mallorca, which recalls that in 2020, women in Belarus wore the color white, apart from being a sober outfit associated with “transparency and purity”, during peaceful protests against violence in the streets.
They have Leonora’s look just right. Not only because the pants fit her better than the skirt, but also because of what the suit means for female leadership, for breaking protocol (women’s dress) and for color (transparency, but also monarchy). #powerdressing #protocol pic.twitter.com/N9UKL0dpbW

The hundred-year-old company from Madrid was in charge of this design that surprised Princess Leonor, according to Vanitatis. In addition, it was the tailor who made Felipe’s suit for his wedding day with Letizia in 2004.
