Meanwhile, for her hair, the queen wore perfectly coiffed locks that were neatly styled with a side parting and loose waves.
The queen is known for her love of nude makeup and looked stunning with a nude lip, subtle smokey eyeshadow and a touch of mascara.
Today appeared to be a solo visit for the Queen as her husband, King Felipe, was not present. Nevertheless, she immediately got to work and held official discussions with the charity to discuss upcoming matters.
She was also snapped exchanging pleasantries and made sure to greet everyone present.

She wowed onlookers as she graced the red carpet in a glamorous black dress alongside her husband King Felipe, 55.
Felipe and Letizia opened the Royal Theater’s 2023/2024 opera season with a performance of Medea by Luigi Cherubini.

A sleek leather belt further accentuated her curves, while the dress’s exaggerated ruffles added extra volume to her silhouette.
Meanwhile, King Felipe looked as suave as ever as he carried the all-black color theme into a tailored suit.
He paired the suit with a white and blue striped shirt, a gold tie and a pair of black leather shoes.
