Royals have access to closets filled with items that most people could only dream of. Between custom gowns, personal relationships with high-end designers, and exclusive intel into the latest trends, being a queen, duchess, or princess seems like the ideal occupation for any fashion lover. As a woman who has become known in the industry for her excellent style and taste, Queen Letizia's Steve Madden heels are the perfect example of how even the world's elite can find beautiful, budget-friendly pieces to incorporate into their wardrobe.

Queen Letizia of Spain continuously experiments with timely trends. The 46-year-old was photographed on Wed. wearing a structured, pink-tweed suit with leather detailing by Hugo Boss, a black turtleneck, and of course, the $120 pair of Steve Madden heels, complete with a trendy PVC strap. The Queen finished off the look with shiny, middle-parted hair, a dewy complexion, and just a touch of blush.

Queen Letizia has already demonstrated that she's a major fan of this specific pair of Steve Madden pumps. Although she chooses to style them differently each time, she's been spotted wearing the affordable staple at multiple events and royal engagements over the course of the last year — and we certainly aren't complaining about it.

This isn't the first time that a royal has delved into the world of affordable shopping by mixing high-end designer pieces with more economical accessories. Meghan Markle, The Duchess of Sussex, has been known to combine bargain items from brands like J.Crew, Aritizia, and Club Monaco with some of her favorite luxury pieces by Givenchy and Aquazzura.

Another member of the the UK's royal family, Kate Middleton, is notorious for her love of cost-effective labels like Zara, Topshop, and ASOS. Her style and elegance is an ongoing inspiration for deal hunters everywhere.
