Queen Letizia laughs off hilarious fashion blunder

Queen Letizia of Spain has laughed off an awkward fashion moment when she was met by a woman in the exact same outfit at an event. 

While the moment could be cringe-worthy for some, Queen Letizia took the moment in her stride. 

She was the guest of honour at the Queen Letizia 2021 Awards, being held at the The Assembly of Extremadura in Merida.

The event was for the Royal Board of Trustees on Disability, which this year celebrates its 30th anniversary, and of which Letizia is chair and honorary president.

The organisation aims to promote the rights of people with disabilities, social inclusion, equal opportunities , rehabilitation and prevention of disabilities.

One of the award recipients was Inmaculada Vivas Tesón, who was being honoured for her work in helping with the legal rights of those with a disability.

But when it came for her time on stage, her choice of dress was identical to the Spanish Queen's.

Both women wore the same black and white belted dress from Spanish designer Mango for a bargain $70. 

Queen Letizia laughed and embraced Tesón, who also saw the funny side of the situation, before the pair posed for photos together.
