But they share the love for the same type of shoe

Other than the shoes ,Leonard and Sofia looked lovely.

Lovely girls both and really they would have to be in espadrilles. I live in them in the summer too. Having said that I occasionally think that Leonor wears what matronly clothes for a 17 year old. She filled out over the last 18 months and as a result looks very mature in these dresses and she is still a kid.

I don't like Leonor's dress. It ages her. Sofia is ok but nothing more.

Eh, she wore an awful beige-y dress a few years ago pre-pandemic to the PoA Awards and she looked very matronly then. It's not all the growth spurt. She's still finding her public fashion feet, and for an heir it's better to err dowdy than questionably revealing. I'm sure she'll get the hang of it.

Or Sofia will be the stylish one. They're more than their clothes.

I like the young ladies outfits, Sofia looks so much older than Leonor.

 

[Duke of Marmalade]

Sofias outfit would look better with flat shoes, like at the confirmation.
I think there are a lot of mumsy/matronly dresses for Leonors body type around, we'll see what style she'll go for in the future.

I don't know. Is something I don't like in both but i couldn't name it. Maybe the shoes? Would be much better with flat sandals, especially Sofia who is so tall.
Of both are teens, they will find their style.
Without doubt in the last outing the most stylish is the mother. Normal...

Leonor and Sofia looked really lovely again today and are very stylish sisters.

 

[Prinsara]

Leonor's blue espadrilles worked much better here than at Sofia's confirmation.

Leonor's dress by Cherubina is too matronly. Sofia's dress is by Moises Nieto. Nice hair and make-up for both girls. This isn't a top top gala.

Ps: Leonor is wearing the same shoes she wore for her graduation (or whatever it is called) in Wales.

I don't think Leonor's dress is too matronly. It looks appropriate to the occasion to me.

 

[Moonmaiden23]

Hmm...showing that much cleavage is anything BUT "matronly"!

 

[FigTree]

She always looks lovely in the formal casual stuff but I don’t like the taste in the more formal dresses. But she’s young and she will grow.

 

[Adda]

The first photo doesn't help my case, in these you can see how weirdly it fits around the hips, to me it's matronly. The fabric also doesn't look that well, gorgeous colour though.

I didn't even notice the neckline, Leonor became a curvy lady overnight, so the neckline is ok because turtlenecks wouldn't suit her figure.

 

[RoyalNight]

Am I the only one who feels that the Spanish Princesses went form looking like 12-year-olds in matching dresses to a wardrobe of an adult woman? No in between ??

Leonor looked like she was 11 for a looong time. Suddenly, boom!

What’s in between? They look their age in the day clothes. Thing is that even little kids now just dress in miniature adult clothes so the clothes themselves don’t change that much.

Leonor was away for most of the past two years. And Sofia still tends to dress very simply and not particularly "adult"; she just now looks visibly "un-twinned" from her sister.

I bet Sofia will come back from her upcoming time in Wales "transformed" as well.

 

[Somebody]

Exactly. Very 'shiny' and more fit for partying than an official royal event: the combination with those shows makes it even more 'I'm going clubbing' instead of 'I am the Princess of Girona'. Not impressed by Sofia's dress either but less inappropriate.

It was really only after Leonor went to Wales that the sisters wanted to/were allowed to develop their own distinct styles on public occasions. Siblings wearing matching or very coordinated clothing is associated with childhood for most people. And Leonor, in particular, looked young for her age until just the past couple of years - some of the clothes she wore before then were age appropriate for a teenager, she just looked young wearing them.

I’m glad the two sisters have gone their separate ways, fashion wise, because they obviously have completely different styles, even as very young women. It will be interesting to see how their tastes evolve as they get older.

Not sure how Leonor's dress is in any way "inappropriate"; everything is covered and appropriate length except for a minor bit of decolletage at an evening event, and she's not only almost 18, but joining the military in a few weeks. I think she is adult enough to make her own call on that — and I've hardly seen any Spanish headlines screaming about her being provocative or disrespectful.

You could go clubbing in Sofia's outfit, maybe, but you'd still need different hair, shoes, and jewelry. You'd be a club wallflower in Leo's dress.

I'm actually in the "it looks matronly" camp, or like a poor example of 80's revival, and I feel like it would have improved if it were sleeveless.

I dont like either dress, especially the one of Leonor is matronly and the fabric like ballon silk, terrible. 80's at its worst. Sofias dress is too shiny.

I agree. It looks rather "80s" to me. I love the color but I'm not a fan of the design, though she looked gorgeous (the makeup was flawless, beautiful earrings and nice hairstyle).


Both sisters have chosen their path fashion-wise. Totally different styles. Btw, while Leonor got her ears pierced years ago, Sofia has chosen not to, at least for now (it seems she's not a fan of too girly things). Sofia's style is more modern, yet classic and simple (more monochromatic clothes, jumpsuits, pants...). Its rare to see her in floral or busy prints.


I like her shiny shoes, but I wished they had a small heel. And I disagree with "she shouldn't be wearing high heels because she is so tall". Be it tall or short, every girl has the right to wear high heels

 

[An Ard Ri]

Leonor's dress reminded me of something one of her aunts would have worn in the 80's ,her hair and earrings were lovely.
