Accessorising the ensemble, the former journalist donned a set of classic pearls around her neck - doubling up with a matching set of drop earrings.
Elsewhere Felipe, 56, looked smart in full military regalia, sporting a khaki suit, red waistband - representing the highest military rank - and pink and white striped sash.
The king has served in the military for almost three decades until he acceded to the throne in 2014.
Throughout his long military career King Felipe was promoted multiple times, achieving the status of lieutenant colonel in the Army, frigate captain in the Navy, and lieutenant colonel in the Air Force in 2009.
On becoming King on June 19, 2014 when his father abdicated, King Felipe was made Commander-In-Chief of the entire military.
Joining her parents, 19-year-old Princess Leonor - who began three years of military training in 2023 - looked just the part in a navy blue uniform.
The young royal sported soft but glamorous makeup with a shimmer eyeshadow, flawless based and lightly bronze dusted cheeks.
She wore her blonde hair scrapped back into a professional looking bun.

On Monday morning, the family arrived for the Pascua Militar, which takes place on 6 January every year at the Royal Palace in Madrid.
The event began with the New Year’s Military Parade outside the Royal Palace and after the National Anthem and a 21 gun salute, King Felipe reviewed the Royal Guard.
During the ceremony, the King of Spain welcomes a number of official guests including the Prime Minister, the Minister of Defence, the Chief of defence the Chiefs of Staff of all branches, the Grand Masters of the Royal and Military Orders of San Fernando and San Hermenegildo, the Civil Guard chiefs and Spanish Veterans Brotherhood.
After troops have been reviewed by the king in the courtyard of the Royal Palace, officials will head to he Throne Room of the Royal Palace where a number of military personnel will be rewarded for their service.
While centered around a main event in Madrid, the military event will be celebrated across Spain in its different military headquarters.
The outing is the Spanish royal's first public appearance since the start of the New Year, with the two having embraced a busy schedule in the run up to Christmas.
The king and queen were seen attending an inauguration ceremony for a new hospital just before Christmas, both leaning into festive tones for the event.

The mother-of-two appeared to lean into Christmas tones as she sported a scarlet suit with a satin cream shirt.
She accessorised with sophisticated suede shoes and a matching taupe handbag.
Letizia wore her chestnut tresses down in a styled blowout, and opted for glam make-up with a bold lipstick and bronze eyeshadow.
The royal couple showed their support for Cuenca University Hospital, which will have new technology, more beds and operating theatres as well as a wider range of services.
Photos showed the smiling pair posing for photos as they chatted with other attendees.
A week before Christmas Day, the Spanish royals released their annual Christmas card featuring a never-before-seen family photo and a touching message for those affected by the deadly floods in Valencia.
In the heartfelt card, Letizia cut an elegant figure in a satin aqua blue dress as she wrapped her arm around her first daughter Leonor, 19.
The heir to the Spanish throne towered over her mother and struck a festive chord in a tailored red trouser suit.

On the far left, Felipe looked as dapper as ever in a navy suit and patterned tie with one hand on his 17-year-old daughter Sofía's arm as she wore a navy patterned jumpsuit.
The wholesome family picture was snapped after the royals presided over the Solemn Changing of the Royal Guard in June.
The historic event kicked off celebrations for the ten-year anniversary of King Felipe ascension to the throne.
Signed by all four members of the family, a message is written in both Spanish and English. It reads: 'Merry Christmas, and may we all face the New Year with greater confidence.'
Notably, there was also a touching tribute to those affected by the floods in Valencia in November.
A total of 224 people died in the floods, 216 of them in Valencia, seven in the neighbouring region of Castilla-La Mancha and one in Andalucia.
