Spain’s queen is considered a fashion icon by many. She consistently hits the mark with her wardrobe choices. While her outfits frequently change, she has remained loyal to her long hair in recent years. Until now! Queen Letizia is now sporting a bob!
As the saying goes, everything new comes in May. For Queen Letizia, it’s already March! After years of seeing the royal lady with hair past her shoulders, she has opted for something new: Letizia now sports a bob!
Queen Letizia Debuts New Bob Hairstyle
The last time we saw the queen with a bob was in 2015. Four years later, she impressed again with the short hairstyle at an award ceremony. However, no scissors were involved then; her hair was cleverly styled into a bob. Now, Letizia has truly cut her hair.
During the visit of Paraguayan President Santiago Peña Palacios and his wife Leticia Ocampos, 51-year-old Letizia appeared with shorter hair in the form of a bob. Cut straight and with the ends blow-dried inward, the new hairstyle has a very professional touch, making it perfect for a noblewoman’s public engagements.
To complement her look, the fashionable queen chose a rather understated pantsuit with a slightly oversized blazer and straight cigarette pants. A black top and black pumps completed the ensemble.

The possibilities of the bob cut are now almost endless. From the “Boyband Bob” to the “Italian Bob” to the “Clavi Cut,” there’s a style for every taste. Queen Letizia has chosen the “French Bob.”
This cut closely resembles the classic bob and is characterized by a clear line. The hair is cut to one length, usually at chin level, without fringed ends. This look is perfect for Letizia! As a royal fashion icon, the cut is not only trendy but also elegant enough to suit her and not appear too casual for official engagements.
A practical advantage of the bob: It’s very easy to style. Just blow-dry it into shape with a round brush, and the styling is done. With the many engagements Queen Letizia has, such an uncomplicated hairstyle is surely very convenient for her.
