Like mother, like daughter. Princess Leonor of Spain took a page out of her mom Queen Letizia's style book for appearance on Monday evening. The Princess of Asturias, 19, attended the traditional summer reception at Marivent Palace wearing the same dress that Letizia wore to the reception back in 2023. The off-the-shoulder design is from the Desigual x Stella Jean collection.

Monday was the first time that the Princess has attended the reception. She made her debut alongside her younger sister, Infanta Sofia. The siblings joined their parents, King Felipe and Queen Letizia, as well as their grandmother Queen Sofia at the event. Leonor's sister and grandmother also wore colorful looks, while Letizia stunned in a white Tony Bonet dress for the occasion.

Among the roughly 700 guests was retired tennis player Rafael Nadal, who in June was granted the title of Marquis of Llevant de Mallorca.
Two days before making her debut at the palace reception, Leonor accompanied her father to the 43rd Copa Del Rey MAPFRE Sailing Cup. The future Queen was also spotted leaving Palma de Mallorca's Rívoli cinema with her mother and sister on July 31.

In July, the Princess reflected on her time in the navy at a ceremony where she received the "Gold Medal of Galicia 2025" from Xunta de Galicia. "Time has passed very quickly, as the intense months in Marín have been followed by the training cruise on the training ship and the weeks on the frigate. But whether in Marín or at sea, I feel that this year in the Navy has served to strengthen the values of honor, valor, discipline, and loyalty that define our Naval Military Academy," Leonor said in her remarks (translated to English). "I'm also referring to the academic rigor and the excellent training and instruction I and my classmates have received. None of this would have been possible without the good work of the commanders, professors, and the staff who work at the school and those who are part of the crew of the ships on which I've had the opportunity to embark."
The Princess will begin her third and final year of military training after the summer. The King and Queen's firstborn is set to join "the San Javier General Air Academy for the 2025-2026 academic year" as an Ensign Student.
