Queen Letizia turned heads in a brand new tailored blazer and high-waisted trouser designer set - adding to her growing collection of classy suits.
The mother-of-two attended an event in Madrid this morning focusing on raising awareness about accessibility in the workplace to mark International Disability Day.
The stylish royal arrived at the State Reference Centre for Personal Autonomy and Technical Aids with a black woollen coat draped over her shoulders - a technique known as shrobing - in an effort to stave off the winter chill.
There, she was greeted by the Second Vice President Yolanda Diaz and the Equality Minister Ana Redondo Garcia.
Notably, all three women opted for a business suit but with varying degrees of vibrancy.
While politicians Yolanda and Ana kept their outfits muted in white and grey respectively, the Spanish Queen turned heads in a midnight blue blazer worth £269.
She paired the statement suit by BOSS with a thin black round neck jumper and practical leather loafers with block heels by the same high-end fashion label.
Letizia has been opting for lower footwear over extravagant high heels as she is rumoured to be suffering from Morton's neuroma in her left foot since 2022.

This condition is characterised by a thickening of the tissue around the nerves between the third and fourth metatarsal bones.
It can cause severe stabbing pain, numbness and tingling.
She is also reported to have metatarsalgia - pain in the ball of the foot - in both feet, which also explains why she has been choosing comfortable shoes.
Letizia wore her brown tresses down in a side parting and used bronze eyeshadow and thick mascara to accentuate her hazel green eyes.
Although the Queen kept her nails bare of polish, she completed her elegant ensemble with pearl drop earrings.
After taking a seat alongside various politicians and businessmen in the auditorium, Letizia was called on stage to deliver a speech - which, as usual, she delivered without cue cards.
In her capacity as honorary president of the Council of the Royal Board on Disability, she said: 'It is not at all usual for unions, companies and third sector entities to meet under the same roof to reflect on how to extend the rights of people with disabilities as consumers and workers.'
In addition to stressing the need for accessibility in the business sector, Letizia said: 'People with disabilities must have quality and decent work under the same conditions of equity as everyone else.'

As a former journalist herself, the Spanish monarch addressed the media directly
As a former journalist herself, Queen Letizia also had a message for the media.
According to Articulo14, she asked journalists to avoid turning people with disabilities into 'heroes' when they overcome a social injustice.
The Queen eloquently added: 'All people, regardless of their physical, cognitive or sensory condition, should be able to achieve the life they want'.
In her speech, Yolanda Diaz described a conversation she had with the Queen, in which she told her that 'every time she reads the white paper on people with disabilities' she is 'confused' because there are too many challenges to face.
'The activity rate of people with disabilities is only 35.3 per cent,' Yolanda said, 'so the challenge is huge.'
The event concluded with a brief discussion between Spanish companies, Carrefour, Acciona, AENA, and unions, such as UGT.
Today is not the first time Letizia has chosen to wear a power suit to a royal engagement.
Three weeks ago, she attended the 85th Madrid Press Association Awards looking effortlessly glamorous in a smart three-piece suit from high street brand Mango.

The Queen paired the €79.00 jacket with €49.99 trousers and a €39.99 waistcoat, with the total cost coming to €169 (£140).
The stunning three-piece suit in mottled grey wool made for a minimalist yet elegant ensemble, perfect for the increasingly cold weather and complete with a pointed v-neck, shoulder pads and straight-cut tailored trousers.
At another journalism awards, Queen Letizia of Spain cut an elegant figure in a glamorous black suit as she joined her husband King Felipe IV in Madrid last month.
To greet Olympians and Paralympians at the El Pardo Palace on November 13, the Queen donned a burgundy suit and a black pussy-bow blouse.
And at the start of November, the royal wore a green suit as she made a sombre return to work at Zarzuela Palace after two weeks of devastating floods in Valencia.
It seems her wardrobe is stuffed to the brim with suits in every shade for every occasion.
