I don't like mini skirts, other than that I think Letizia has improved her style comparing to Varela suits cut in exactly the same way in 2005 and 2006. She has had platform shoes for about 3 years, not just recently, so it's not only because of clothes and shoes alone. The international media has shown more interests at her since the French state visit. Now when the media talks about the famous wives or their fashion, very often they talked about Michelle Obama, Carla Bruni, Queen Rania and Princess Letizia. There have been so many photographers crowded at each of Letizia's act, I don't see other royals having so many internatinal photo agencies interested at their pictures of each act. And it has always been a norm that more interests outside means more interests inside Spain too. It's good or bad, all depends on how Zarzuela wants to use this visibility. Diana and Rania had attracted the world with their clothes first, then their humanitarian acts, their voices to be heard, but Zarzuela seems so old fashioned and out of dated. With the internet today, if the media doesn't show enough interest at the acts, then promote them yourself with a nice website, a YouTube channel. I guess this new media, internet concept is probably too 'fashionable' for the old grey men at Zarzuela.
