I would never have paired black loafers with pastels but Queen Letizia's cool and casual teal outfit makes it look so chic

Queen Letizia of Spain attends the announcement of the Princess of Girona Foundation's “Creaempresa 2026” award .

I don’t follow a lot of fashion colour rules but one thing I always tend to do is avoid wearing dark footwear with lighter outfits. I always worry the contrast will be too stark and yet this definitely wasn’t the case with Queen Letizia of Spain’s look for the announcement of the 2026 Princess of Girona Foundation's CreaEmpresa award winner.

She stepped out in sunny Huesca wearing head-to-almost-toe pastel teal. This blue-green hue isn’t a specific 2026 fashion colour trend but the muted undertone was part of why I think it looked so gorgeous with her chunky black heeled loafers. Compared to some of Letizia’s go-to outfits, this was quite casual, and featured a long-sleeved fine-knit jumper and wide-leg trousers.
