Queen Letizia of Spain Favors Vatican Tradition With Modernity in Redondo Brand's Dress for Pope Leo's Inauguration Mass
King Felipe VI of Spain and Queen Letizia of Spain were among the royal attendees at the inaugural mass for Pope Leo XIV on Sunday in Vatican City. Letizia was one of a small group of women who wore all-white, a privilege afforded to her by historic custom.
Letizia chose a simple tea-length dress in white crepe from Redondo Brand that featured long sleeves and asymmetrical draped detail at the neckline. The Spanish occasionwear label was founded by Jorge Redondo in 2019.

She accessorized with a lace mantilla, small white handbag as well as earrings featuring Australian pearls from Ansorena1845. Her ring was from Coreterno. She chose a pair of neutral Magrit pumps. She often wears shoes from the brand and chose the company's 'Clara' style.
For some royal women, all-white dressing—Privilège du Blanc—symbolizes purity and Vatican ties for Catholic queens and consorts. Letizia did not have the privilege during the inaugural mass of Pope Francis, but received it when Felipe became King.
Other attendees at Pope Leo's mass included U.S. Vice President JD Vance and his wife Usha Vance, Grand Duchess Maria Teresa and Grand Duke Henri of Luxembourg, and Princess Charlene and Prince Albert of Monaco.
Pope Leo made history on May 8 when he became the first American to hold the role.

Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman join Australia SailGP team as co-owners
Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman become co-owners of the Australia SailGP team on Thursday. The 'Deadpool & Wolverine' stars joined driver and CEO Tom Slingsby in leading the team's rebrand after several successful seasons, winning three championships in its four seasons. The team will be called the BONDS Flying Roos, with the Australian underwear company BONDS as its title partner. 'We're incredibly excited to set sail together in this new adventure,' Reynolds and Jackman said in a joint statement released through SailGP. 'Hugh brings a deep love for and pride in his home country, as well as being an avid fan of sailing. He will also be bringing his overly clingy emotional support human along for the ride. Apologies in advance to Australia. No comment on whether we're writing this in our BONDS. No further questions.' It's the latest sports venture for Reynolds, a Vancouver native who, along with fellow Hollywood actor Rob McElhenney, is a co-owner of Wrexham, one of the world's oldest soccer clubs. Reynolds and McElhenney were also part of an investment group that acquired Colombian club La Equidad earlier this year. The BONDS Flying Roos SailGP Team is expected to make its debut at the Mubadala New York Sail Grand Prix starting June 7. Slingsby, an Olympic gold medalist, said in a release that Jackman and Reynolds bring 'unmatched star power, a love for storytelling, and a sharp sense of (humour) that fits perfectly with our team.' 'With BONDS joining as our Title Partner and the launch of the BONDS Flying Roos,' Slingsby added, 'we're building something distinctly Australian; a team driven by spirit, resilience, and national pride.' ___ AP sports:
