She turned 44 on Wednesday and it seems that Queen Letizia is still celebrating in style.

The glamorous mother-of-two looked incredible as she joined her husband on the red carpet at the inauguration of the Royal Theatre Season in Madrid, Spain, on Thursday night.

Dressed in a figure-hugging Felipe Varela dress, which showcased her trim figure, Queen Letizia posed for snaps with her husband, King Felipe.

You may think our love of royal fashion spotting is reserved only for the Duchess of Cambridge but we're not fussy. We love them all.

And Queen Letizia is proving to be a very chic royal icon who, like Kate, mixes old favourites with new pieces on a regular basis. And alongside Hugo Boss, Spanish label Felipe Varela is one of her go-to brands.

She picked it once again at an event yesterday wearing this lovely shift from his Pre-Fall 2016 collection. A clean line like this is always in style and it skims Letizia's figure beautifully, while the lace and crochet hem adds a high end twist.

This is the kind of dress that will see you through a thousand seasons so why not recreate her look with one of the numbers in our edit below? We've found great options by Asos, Oasis and French Connection that'll do the trick nicely.

The mother-of-two looked right at home as she greeted dozens of primary aged children at the Gines Morata school.

She kept her makeup natural and opted for a straight hairstyle which she has been favouring of late.

The youngsters seemed thrilled to have a royal in their midst greeting her with high fives as she entered the playground on Tuesday.

Letizia, 43, visited the school to celebrate the opening of the 2016-2017 scholarship course.

At the start of the week, the Queen made another visit to a school, this time dropping her two daughters off on their first day back of term.

Princess Leonor, ten, and Princess Sofía, 9, were dropped off for their first day back at school in Madrid on Monday by their doting parents, Queen Letizia and King Felipe.

Whilst the royal couple are well known for being among the hardest working monarchs in the world, they made sure their schedules were clear to accompany their children to school.

In August, the family were seen at the Marivent Palace on the island of Mallorca, where the family spent their annual summer holiday.

The royal family traditionally spend their lengthy holiday at the Marivent Palace, their official summer residence, on the Balearic island.

The sumptuous grounds, home to Felipe's Son Vent villa, are famed for their beautiful gardens and boast stunning sea views.
