Queen Letizia and her husband King Felipe VI of Spain were photographed together with the President of Spain, Pedro Sánchez, during the official reception in Madrid.
Queen Letizia donned a Valentino dress which was previously worn by her mother in law, Queen Sofia, in 1977.
The vintage gown featured a semi-transparent long sleeve white blouse embroidered with pink flowers, a light pink waistband and a long emerald green skirt.
The Spanish monarch looked stunning in the elegant Valentino design.
Queen Sofia wore the dress during her state visit to Germany over 40 years ago.
