She just looks amazing... like out of the Mad Men cable TV show. My mom used to dress like that and a very classy woman dresses like this.
True beauty is something that we know when we see it. I'd like my wife to be like her.

Congratulations are in order for the new King of Spain, Felipe! CNN reported Monday that the 46-year-old prince will be taking over the throne from his father, King Juan Carlos I, who feels it's time for a younger leader. But a new reign doesn't just mean change for Spain, it also means a new queen. Felipe's wife, and arguably one of our favorite royals (besides Kate Middleton, of course), Princess Letizia will take over for Sofia, who has held the title since 1975. Even though we don't always agree with Letizia's sartorial choices, the 41-year-old has, on occasion, pleasantly satisfied our stylish royal fix. Now that she is emerging as queen, we can't wait to see what she steps out in next.

I wish I could say the same about people in American high society. You don't have to be born into an aristocracy to have class. Either you have it or the touch isn't there. I have to say a man who knows what to look for in a wife has high standards.

In a woman in a formal dress is just so graceful! Its just sad a lot of young women dress like sluts. There used to be a time when men looked up to a lady.
I think she’s the one in the photo (photoshopped) showing her, Carla Bruni, and Mooch going up the stairs - from behind. I think she is wearing a red dress, Carla is wearing a blue dress and Mooch is in a white top and pink skirt.
If the Bard were alive today, he would agree it looks good here. Confidence and power.
Back then ladies were rewarded with good men; now the sluts are getting the good men.
Yes, Princess Letizia is the 3rd woman in that picture (that’s sooooo cruel toward MO by comparison to the other two). Love that pic.
Here its carried off just beautifully. On the right woman - and this is the right woman - the color simply works! One look and one has died and gone to heaven.
True fashion has nothing to do with an era. It reminds me too, of things our world is fast in danger of forgetting.
Looks like a family straight out of Central Casting. I especially am drawn to the mid-century sartorial details that surround them. You'd never know they're royalty.
Not much to criticize here. Its positively bucolic.
Here the love shared between a husband and a wife needs no comment.
This is not simply fashion; there is a loveliness overflowing here that can't be captured in the photo. It leaves the viewer in a trance.
No radial belt, heh?
Some people are born soulmates. And here the picture says everything one doesn't really need say at all. There is love here, too.
They're every one's precious dream daughters! One feels like one is looking at beautiful little angels on the earth.
Don’t get carried away, these photographs are staged like any high profile photo ops
She looks nice. They look nice as a couple and family.
But, why are there still Kings and Queens?
It’s ludicrous.
I agree.
Born royalty? You be the judge.
