Rarely has the dissociation between the press and the people in the street been more evident than with the outfit that Queen Letizia decided to wear to the Coronation of Carlos III: while some media spoke of it as “the best dressed”, “spectacular pink look” or “40s style”, on Twitter it was being compared to an IKEA salad bowl and characters like Raiden, from ‘Mortal Kombat’. And after seeing her over and over again and reading the different opinions, there is only one conclusion: in her head she was spectacular.
Straw hat
In the past, the kings of each country had to go back and forth from time to time to attend coronations, but this is an event that, with the arrival of modernity, is happening less and less. Perhaps that is why Felipe and Letizia have decided to wear their best clothes. The King of Spain has dusted off his father’s old Magneto costume (the one that Marvel paid homage to on a cover of ‘The Pulse: House of M’ and later almost appeared in ‘Marvel vs Capcom 3’ but didn’t after a warning from the always open to joking Casa Real) and Letizia… Well. Letizia.
The Queen of Spain has stuck to the dress code imposed by the British Royal Household so as not to turn the coronation into the Met Gala: a pink two-piece by Carolina Herrera with a pink jacket and skirt (some say “vibrant pink”, we say “highlighting pink”) with a pamela by Balel Madrid that has caused inevitable laughter among tweeters. Let’s see.

“Queen Letizia wears a wok on her head“; “Midjourney, transform Queen Letizia into an anime character“; “She wears a satellite dish“; “Let’s hear it for the Republican who convinced Letizia to wear that on her head“; “If you pull on the little chain that Felipe is wearing, Letizia’s lamp lights up“; “The fruit bowl that Letizia is wearing costs 11. 99 on Amazon“… No matter how hard the traditional media try, the people have passed sentence. Neither Carolina Herrera, nor Carolino Herrero: this pamela is an absolute nonsense.
Of ceitherurse, what we earn in laughter is neithert ceitherunted.
