Why Queen Letizia Wore a Bridal-White Gown and Veil to the Pope's Inauguration
"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links." Pope Leo XIV was inaugurated this Sunday in Vatican City, and royals and political leaders from across the world traveled to celebrate the moment. King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia of Spain were amongst the guests who attended the inauguration mass in St. Peter's Square. They sat in the front row, alongside other royals, and Letizia looked especially radiant in a white long-sleeve dress from Redondo Brand and a beautiful white lace veil—less bridal, more holy. She accessorized with nude heels, a white top-handle bag, and dangling diamond-and-pearl earrings. While it is traditional for women to wear black for most visits to the Vatican, a few Catholic royals are given 'Le privilège du blanc' or 'the privilege of the white' when meeting the pope. Letizia is among the seven female royals who currently have this privilege. The others are Spain's Queen Sofia (mother of Felipe), Belgium's Queen Paola and Queen Mathilde, Grand Duchess Maria Teresa of Luxembourg, Princess Marina of Naples, and Princess Charlene of Monaco. Twelve years ago, Felipe and Letizia attended the inauguration of Pope Francis in the same place (and Letizia wore black then, as she was not yet queen). Pope Francis passed away on April 21, and on May 8, following a papal conclave, Pope Leo was chosen as the new pontiff. 'We congratulate Cardinal Prévost on his election as the new pontiff, Pope Leo XIV. His call for peace inspires us, encourages us, and reflects the deep wishes and feelings of the Spanish people,' the Spanish royal couple wrote after the election.

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.

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.
