Queen Letizia of Spain in stitches as she presents award to woman wearing same £60 dress

While we can't all afford to dress like a queen, many of us would love to be able to steal their style.

And one woman has found herself inadvertently dressing just like royalty, when attending the Reina Letizia 2021 awards at the Asamblea de Extremadura in Merida, Spain.

The awards are convened by the Royal Board on Disability whose aim is the promotion and improvement of the rights of people with disabilities.

Law professor Inmaculada Vivas Tesón was a guest at the event on Wednesday, May 4 and was presented with a prize by Queen Letizia of Spain herself - and the pair happened to be wearing the exact same dress.

The 49-year-old Spanish monarch was wearing a £59.99 monochrome dress from Mango, as was the professor.

The belted a-line cut dress is part of Mango's spring-summer 2022 collection.

Luckily Queen Letizia didn't seem too embarrassed by the fashion blunder and simply laughed it off with her guests.

Both women giggled and embraced each other in a hug, as the Queen presented her with a special mention for her research work.

Queen Letizia looked stunning in the high street dress, pairing it with a Hugo Boss handbag, black pumps from Magrit and Chanel earrings.

Called the Bicolour belted dress, the description for the garment on Mango's website reads: "Two-tone design. Evasé design. Midi design. Rounded neck. Sleeveless. Adjustable belt. Slit detail. Inner lining. One button fastening. Party collection."

The dress is made from 100% polyester and is midi-length.

Many sizes are currently sold out on Mango's website but an email waiting list is available for those who are keen to nab themselves the same outfit.
