Queen Letizia wore an elegant red dress to participate in an event organised by UNICEF and WHO within the week of the United Nations General Assembly and the Secretary-General’s Summit for the Transformation of Education.
The Spanish monarch is the Honorary President of UNICEF Spain and the Ombudsman for Mental Health in Children and Teenagers.
Queen Letizia met the Director General of the World Health Organization (WHO), Tedros Ghebreyesus, and Executive Director of UNICEF, Catherine Russell, among others.
For the occasion, Letizia chose a red midi dress from Zara designed by Narciso Rodriguez.
The Narciso Rodriguez gathered dress is a linen piece with a wide neck and no sleeves, “gathered fabric detail” and an “invisible side zip fastening,” the Zara website explained.

The dress, which retails for £158 is currently sold out but new stock is “coming soon,” the Spanish retailer announced.
Queen Letizia combined the gown with her Giorgio Armani black leather bag and a pair of black stilettos.
The monarch donned a pair of ethically made earrings from designer Gold&Roses: the Shewel Triple Hoops.
Royal watchers commented the Spanish Queen looked elegant and very beautiful in the ensemble during her trip to the United States.
