Queen Letizia of Spain has just proved you don't need to splash out thousands on an outfit to look chic. 

The Spanish royal, 46, donned a stylish Zara white and navy tweed dress which retails at £70 - though it's currently on sale for £19.99 - while hosting audiences at her palace in Madrid.

The dress has a boat neckline, rhinestone buttons and short sleeves, and Letizia added a discreet leather belt to cinch it in at the wasit.

Her navy slingback heels complimented the casual style of its frayed hem and she accessorised with a simple pair of silver hoop earrings.

The Spanish royal wore her sleek dark hair down and kept her make-up to a tasteful smokey eye and slick of lip gross.
