QUEEN  Letizia never puts a fashion foot wrong, and continued to show off her array of glamorous ensembles as she attended celebrations to mark 275 years since the birth of renowned Spanish artist Francisco Goya. 

The royal, 48, opted for a tailored jacket and skyscraper heels for her appearance alongside her husband King Felipe VI, 53, in the town of Fuendetodos, 44km southeast of Zaragoza in Aragon where the painter was born on March 30 in 1746.

The mother of two cut a stylish figure as she greeted members of the Goya Foundation in Aragon and the Goya Fuendetodos Cultural Consortium. 

Letizia teamed a sleek pair of black trouser with an elegant white jacket and  carried a small bunches of flowers wrapped in pink tissue paper as she attended the event in the Spanish city.
