 Queen Letizia  of Spain looked as though she walked off the pages of a fashion magazine as she and husband  King Felipe  welcomed Italian President Sergio Mattarella and his daughter Laura Mattarella to the Royal Palace of Madrid on Tuesday.

The royal mom of two stepped out wearing a chic cape, said to be by BOSS, over a tweed sheath dress. Letizia, donning a face mask, completed her fashionable look with Magrit pumps and, presumably in a nod to her guests, a handbag from the Italian luxury brand Furla.

The Italian president’s state visit to Spain began on Nov. 16. Following the welcome ceremony, the group held a brief meeting inside the Royal Palace of Madrid. King Felipe and the Italian president later had another meeting at the Spanish royal family’s residence, Zarzuela Palace, where the monarchs offered a luncheon in honor of the president and his daughter.

In the evening, Infanta Sofia and Princess Leonor’s parents will host a gala dinner for the president at the Royal Palace of Madrid.
