Queen Letizia brought back one of her go-to shoe styles on Tuesday. The Spanish royal wore her black heeled loafers from Massimo Dutti in Huesca, where she presided over the proclamation of the Princess of Girona Foundation’s “Creaempresa 2026” award at the Palacio de Congresos as part of the Tour del Talento.

The style is made from cowhide leather with a glossy finish and features an almond-shaped toe with a penny strap across the vamp. A sturdy block heel of roughly 6 cm and an Airfit insole designed for extra cushioning complete the silhouette, giving the shoes a dressy profile that still sits firmly in the loafer category.
In Huesca, she wore the shoes with full-length plaid trousers in pistachio green. The high-rise pants had pressed front creases and a subtle check threaded with light blue, styled with a slim dark belt, a fine-gauge knit sweater in a similar shade and a structured top-handle bag in a pale blue-green tone. Small green stud earrings and loose hair kept the accessories and beauty in the same cool palette seen through the look.

The Massimo Dutti loafers have become one of the most reliable shoes in her rotation. She leaned on the same almond-toe, block-heel pair for Madrid’s Global Caregivers Forum in January, where she teamed them with glen plaid trousers, a white top and a red leather jacket, and for a BBVA Microfinance Foundation event in November 2025 with a gray suit from the same Spanish high-street label. The shoes have also been logged at a string of working meetings and appearances since early 2024.
Her footwear choice in Huesca landed just days after another Spanish-made shoe moment. Just five days earlier, Letizia visited Pedro García’s headquarters in Elda to mark the brand’s 100th anniversary, wearing the label’s Xantia knee-high boot while touring the factory floor and meeting with the family-run team.

At the Creaempresa 2026 stop, the Tour del Talento named biotechnologist and entrepreneur Patricia Aymà Maldonado as this year’s laureate for her work leading Benviro, a start-up that uses bacteria to transform organic waste into biodegradable bioplastics at industrial scale.
