Queen Sofía made a surprise appearance in Mallorca wearing a bohemian outfit from Greek label Zeus+Dione. The Spanish royal family arrived on the Balearic island around a week ago, and on Saturday night they were seen having dinner at a restaurant in Palma.
The blouse and trouser combination confirmed that age has no bearing on style, with an elegance the source described as both timeless and contemporary.
Queen Sofía's look drew attention for an unexpected accessory: a portable fan she wore to cope with the heat wave in Mallorca. Leaving the restaurant Mia, she was seen with the device hanging around her neck, a companion against the high temperatures. Rather than the bohemian necklaces she typically wears day to day, she relied on the fan as part of the outfit. She completed the look with the classic Menorcan abarcas sandals she wears every year on holiday.
A bohemian set in navy and black
Queen Sofía stood out in Mallorca in a navy and black bohemian set chosen for its lightness. Given the high temperatures on the island, the monarch opted for basic pieces in light materials to cope with the extreme heat of recent weeks.
Even so, the humidity did not stop the royal from keeping her elegance and sophistication on what was a special Saturday night in Palma. The set reflected her boho chic style, with a vertical-line print that slims the figure.
The Greek label filling the queen emerita's suitcase
Queen Sofía chose the brand Zeus+Dione for her first look in Mallorca. The piece was an oversized, straight-cut blouse with a mandarin collar and a V-neckline, wide long sleeves and a silhouette that skims the body. It is made from handcrafted silk produced in Soufli, a small town in northern Greece, making it an especially exclusive piece. The printed blouse retails for 480 euros.
The trousers, meanwhile, stand out for their wide, relaxed, flowing silhouette, well suited to high temperatures while keeping the royal's fashionable edge. The printed trousers retail for 630 euros. Queen Sofía favored comfort and versatility over fitted dresses or jumpsuits.
The portable fan, a favorite summer accessory
As noted, one of the accessories that drew the most attention in Queen Sofía's look was a beige portable fan worn around her neck. It was not the first time she had been seen with it, having also shown it off at the reception in Marivent. On Saturday night she wore it again as an essential part of her outfit, turning it into an object of desire.
The queen emerita's classic Menorcan sandals
Unlike the espadrilles worn by Queen Letizia, Princess Leonor and Infanta Sofía, Queen Sofía relies on classic Menorcan abarcas sandals for her Mallorca holidays. She wears them in every color, though this time she paired them in a monochromatic navy blue look.
The abarcas have become her favorite summer footwear, sparing her the need for wedges or platforms while offering maximum comfort. The sandals are also considered a symbol of summer in the Balearic Islands, given their handcrafted production and their history in Menorca as rustic, hard-wearing footwear once worn by farmers.
