The most impressive looks of royalty with leather skirts

The olive green blouse, a commitment to the environment

On September 27, 2023, Queen Máxima already captivated us by choosing her olive green cactus leather skirt. On this occasion, she combined it with a printed blouse with a bow.

A bet that plays into confusion

In April 2023, Queen Máxima repeated another of her popular leather garments, although not everything is exactly what it seems at first glance. The skirt that is the protagonist of the look, which in principle we could say is made of vinyl leather, was actually made with waxed linen that simulates this material. It is part of an assembly designed by Natan, one of its leading brands, which premiered in November 2020 with the same blouse with a bow at the neck.

A sustainable leather pleated skirt

In February 2020, Máxima showed her most modern image with a new burgundy leather skirt in pleated finish. It is a creation by Roberto Collina that is also made of vegan leather, another innovation by the Dutch company. And in the same way that she put together that waxed linen skirt, she opted for a complete look of these shadescomposed of a merino wool top from the same brand and high boots Laura 85, by Gianvito Rossi.

Doña Letizia debuted her red leather skirt in Seoul

Apart from Máxima of the Netherlands, our own Queen is another of the great defenders of this garment, especially if it is dyed. your favorite color. In 2019, Mrs. Letizia wore for the first time her red leather skirtby Hugo Boss (426 euros), in Seoul, during a visit to South Korea that revolved around the enthronement ceremonies of Naruhito of Japan. We explain why his choice went viral.

After the international impact generated by his looks during the enthronement of Naruhito of Japan, this election nor did it leave critics indifferent. Above all, the Queen triumphed not only by wearing a garment as transgressive as a tight leather skirt, but also by combining it with such a trendy blousewith puffed sleeves enhanced with sheer lace panels. This design is by Carolina Herrera.

Combines it in a modern way

In November 2020, Doña Letizia rescued this skirt from her closet (the model Selrite by Hugo Boss), which had premiered a year earlier. Here, he once again recorded his favorite formula to show off this type of garment with a tube silhouette, made of leather: another white blouse with puffed sleeves. In this case, it wears a textured finish design that we first saw in 2013.

A set of two pieces

Two is better than one? The Queen surprised us in October 2022 by debuting a straight round neck jacket Made of the same red leather as the skirt. Let us remember that this last piece saw the light of day three years earlier, so the news that it had his set. Underneath, he carried again a pretty white blouse with a closed neckline to add that touch of luminosity to a style that, otherwise, would perhaps be too harsh.

The anecdotal skirt that connected Meghan Markle with Doña Letizia

Another fan of leather skirts is the Duchess of Sussex, who in addition to having several designs in different colors, curiously, has the same Hugo Boss model in red that Doña Letizia has. The most shocking thing is that, beyond the coincidence, Meghan debuted this skirt just 24 hours after the queen of Spain took her for the first time, in 2019.

Meghan’s coordination to wear her leather skirt

To match her leather skirt, Meghan preferred coordination, opting for a fine knit top in a similar shade of redwhich generates a sensation of visual continuity typical of monochromatic styles. It is a garment that has a pronounced neckline, carefully selected to give a rejuvenated image of the British royalty, of which it was a representative at that time.

Also in red, but with a side opening

The queen of the Netherlands also has a burgundy leather pencil skirtsimilar to the one worn by Doña Letizia or Meghan Markle, although in her case it is a design that is accompanied by a side opening. The image was captured during the visit to the Bauhaus Art School in Dessau, Germany, on February 10, 2017, where Máxima accompanied her skirt with many others more formal pieceslike matching gloves, a shawl or a headdress.

A skirt that Meghan feels comfortable in

And that red leather model is not the only Hugo Boss that the Duchess of Sussex has in her winter wardrobe because, in October 2018, we had seen her wearing another monochromatic look, but in green. It is difficult to forget: these photographs immortalize his first visit to Sussexa most significant act for whoever was, just a couple of years before, a television actress on the other side of the pond.

In green, like Meghan’s

Famous for being from the most innovative royal women when it comes to dressingit was not surprising that both coincided with this leather skirt, although we must clarify that it is not the exact same model. The skirt in the image, which Máxima is wearing, is in bottle green. He took her for a meeting with the then president of Pakistan, Mamnoon Hussain, at the Presidential Palace in Islamabad, on February 11, 2016. Like the Duchess of Sussex, the Argentine-born decided to a total look in green.

Rania’s leather skirt look that went viral

The queen of Jordan also wanted to rely on these skirts to provide a more stylish image to her refined work outfits. His choice was to combine a pencil skirt in black leathersimilar to the previous ones that we have reviewed, with a white blouse with fine checks in black lines and tied around the neck. It happened during his visit to the Prado Museum in Madridon November 19, 2015.

The ‘other’ coincidence of Queen Letizia

We are sure that Queen Letizia took note of that look that the Queen of Jordan wore in Madrid because, two years laterin 2017, it was the wife of King Felipe VI who opted for an extremely similar style, which is made up of a black leather pencil skirt and a white checkered blouse in black lines and a bow of the same fabric at the neck. Do you see the similarities?

Your favorite formula to wear the leather pencil skirt

What Doña Letizia is clear about is that her formula for combining her leather skirt, whatever color it is, is with white blouses and tops. At most, it incorporates black details, like the fine geometric lines of her previous look. In the image, during the opening of the exhibition Script. Manuscript treasures of the University of Salamanca at the National Library of Madrid on May 4, 2017.

Queen Letizia’s most flattering skirt

On January 26, 2020, to attend a work meeting with members of the national council of the AECC (Spanish Association Against Cancer), Mrs. Letizia premiered a black leather skirtthe model Leshina by Hugo Boss, which is positioned among its most flattering garments. This is due to its high shot, which mark the figure by means of a belt, a ‘A’ silhouette that visually narrows the torso, and a front opening that made it easier to take steps when walking in heels.

A 50s style flared skirt

At the official event of World Rare Disease Day 2020, Felipe Vi’s wife revealed that she had in her dressing room another black leather midi skirtsigned by Hugo Boss. It stands out from the rest, however, because we are not looking at a narrow silhouette or equipped with openings or showy belts: it is a classic flared design in the purest fifties stylewhich combined perfectly with her refined Uterqüe poplin blouse.
