On April 29, she’ll be adding another song to her biography and we’d like to pay tribute to her for being one of our favorite “teen royals,” courtesy of Princess Leonor. The Infanta Sofia turns 15 and we’re judging the looks that mark his change to a more mature style. Goodbye to the children’s dresses, to their Chanel-style outfits, to the powdery colors, the bows, the ruffles… now the fashion pieces have a bigger role in the wardrobe of the teenager, who follows in the stylistic footsteps of her mother , albeit with its own label.
The ‘dress code’ of the youngest daughter of Felipe VI and Letizia is inevitably marked by the position she occupies in the royal family. And this implies something important: you should not draw attention to the heiress to the throne and should maintain an elegant but discreet profile. This also has its advantages, of course, as a little less formal and bold detail can be allowed, such as the semi updo with knot with which he surprised us last year and inspired influencers like Chiara Ferragni. Sofia never wears heels because at 15 she is already taller than her mother, Queen Letizia, and she is also taller than Leonor, so we try not to make this difference too obvious in institutional poses with slippers and ballerinas. She also adheres to certain rules of modesty and it is common for Zarzuela’s seamstress to change the neckline of her dresses to close them.
Regardless of the protocol issues, Doña Sofía’s granddaughter shows that she has her own personality when it comes to fashion. And he’s been doing that for a while, smashing his institutional looks with ‘adult style’ garments: oversized shirts, trendy jackets, most refined dresses, overalls, miniskirts… As for her favorite companies, she follows in Letizia’s footsteps with her passion for ‘low cost’, although in 2021 she added companies like Carolina Herrera or Angel Schlesser to her wardrobe. This is the beginning of what will be his new style for this stage of adolescence that has just begun. Congratulations!
In October 2020, in celebration of Hispanic Heritage Day, the infanta was already on the way with that office style: navy blue trousers from Stradivarius and an XL blouse with a tie on the side from Zara with slippers from one of her favorite brands, Beautiful Ballerinas .
The shirt dresses have a perfect retro taste and the youngest daughter of the King and Queen chose this style with a red Mango design, which she wore to one of the Princess of Asturias awards in 2020. Midi length and with a belt , it made her look older; only the heels were missing.
What teen doesn’t love this combination? Frayed jeans, Massimo Dutti ballet flats, a basic T-shirt and an oversized plaid blazer, which, to be exact, belongs to Princess Leonor and is signed by Springfield. A casual look and very suitable for a family concert evening.
While there is no doubt that little by little the infanta is leaving her childhood, she must adhere to some protocol rules. This floral dress from Mango had a V-neckline and was customized in Zarzuela by covering it up to make it more discreet. Otherwise a perfect piece of clothing for the most discreet ‘teenager’.
Not only her blue lantern sleeve mini dress from High Spirits (also with a custom neckline) caught our eye, but her donut bow updo was the real surprise of the day. She came to outdo her sister and also showed an evolution in her hairstyles!
At the Princess of Asturias Awards 2021, she premiered a dress inspired by her mother’s style, by Ángel Schlesser, an adult company. Azul, with side draping at the waist, gave it a childish touch with his black Martinelli ballet flats, 95 euros.
A dress that Kate Middleton could very well have worn and with which the infanta clearly showed her evolution last October! White with small dots, from Carolina Herrera, one of Letizia’s favorite brands. And again, with flat shoes…
This is one of her most original looks, with a piece straight from the Queen’s wardrobe. Sofia opted for the ballet style, with an old pink tulle skirt from Psophia and a black knitted top with beaded details from Felipe Varela from Letizia.
The last outfit she wore to her 15th birthday in a public act and that would mistake us for another teen, but older. Leonor’s sister debuted a Springfield overshirt ($45.99), which she rolled up her sleeves and revealed her floral blouse.
