Queen Letizia Made This $20 Zara Skirt Look So Expensive
Another day, another royal proving that even monarchs aren't above a good bargain. The latest fabulous steal confirming supremes aren't unwilling to save a few coins? Queen Letizia's snakeskin skirt. The Queen of Spain continuously proves her affinity for infusing modern trends into her style while maintaining a timeless elegance, and her latest look is so easy to recreate.
On Fri., the Queen stepped out in Madrid wearing a Zara snakeskin skirt and pointed-toe stilettos, confirming you don't have to break the bank to dress like a million bucks. As winter trudges on, Queen Letzia is here to demonstrate how to style the accessible brand in an expensive way during the cooler months. Accompanying the statement skirt with a fitted sweater and stilettos, the royal showed style lovers how it's done on a budget, and she nailed a daring trend while she was at it.
Letizia isn't the only royal who frequently swaps couture for fast fashion — Meghan Markle regularly wears styles from affordable retailers like Aritzia and H&M. In fact, the Duchess of Sussex and mom-to-be looked particularly chic showcasing her adorable baby bump in a $35 sweater dress just last week.
Kate Middleton isn't above a good steal, either. Last summer, the Duchess of Cambridge stepped out in a denim embroidered frock from everyone's favorite Spanish retailer. You guessed it: Middleton adores Zara as much as the rest of the world.
Queen Letizia has officially given the animal-print trend her royal stamp of approval. Everyone from Bella Hadid to Emily Ratajkowski have reached for the wild pattern this season in the form of handbags and booties. As the It-girl and royal-approved trend continues to shine on, why not add a few star pieces to your own wardrobe?
Unsurprisingly, Queen Letzia's exact Zara style is sold out, but there are many more options to choose from. Ahead, The Zoe Report rounded up five snakeskin skirts that are equally fit for a queen.
