Infanta Sofia of Spain rewore a famous Desigual bohemian dress during a Royal Family dinner at Portixol in Palma, Mallorca.
The evening outing at the Mia restaurant took place following the awards ceremony for the Sailing Cup. King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia were joined at the dinner by Queen Sofia, Princess Leonor, and Infanta Sofia.
Infanta Sofia gave a third life to the off-the-shoulder piece, which had previously been worn by both her mother and her elder sister during official royal engagements on the Balearic island.
Queen Letizia attended the dinner carrying a handcrafted handbag from a Galician brand that takes one month to manufacture. Princess Leonor wore a printed dress from Spanish fashion brand Babbaki featuring colors designed to highlight her tan, paired with comfortable espadrilles.
The Shared Desigual Dress
The dress chosen by Infanta Sofia is a bohemian design from a collaboration between Spanish brand Desigual and designer Stella Jean. The lightweight garment features a blue and white floral pattern, a smocked bodice, a flared skirt, and a Bardot neckline that leaves the shoulders bare.
Although the dress is currently unavailable on the official Desigual website, it previously retailed for 159 euros and became widely shared across social media platforms.
Desigual is a Barcelona-based fashion company known for vibrant patterns, while Stella Jean is an Italian-Haitian designer recognized for her multicultural runway collections. The Bardot neckline style takes its name from French film icon Brigitte Bardot.
History of the Royal Outfit
Queen Letizia first introduced the printed dress into the public eye during the summer 2023 reception at Marivent Palace, the traditional holiday residence of the Spanish Royal Family in Mallorca. She styled the outfit with white wedge espadrilles and wore her hair in a ponytail.
Two years later, in 2025, Princess Leonor wore the exact same dress to the same annual Marivent reception. The heir to the Spanish throne opted for black wedge espadrilles to complete her ensemble.
One year after Leonor's appearance, Infanta Sofia adapted the dress to her own personal style for the dinner in Palma. She chose flat white espadrilles to achieve a more relaxed and versatile look suited for an evening outing.
Sisterly Style and Spanish Brands
Princess Leonor and Infanta Sofia frequently coordinate their public wardrobe choices, often selecting similar prints, garments, or footwear styles when attending events together.
For the dinner in Portixol, Infanta Sofia completed her outfit with flat white espadrilles from Picon, a footwear brand based in the Spanish region of Murcia. Traditional jute-soled espadrilles are a standard staple of the royal family's summer wardrobe during their stays in Mallorca.
The royal family traditionally spends part of August in Mallorca, balancing official duties such as the Sailing Cup and Marivent receptions with private family meals across the island.
