For quite some time, Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, has held on to the title of the best-dressed royal. Whether she’s cavorting about in Alexander McQueen gowns and the Queen’s jewels, Zara shift dresses, or her favorite Stuart Weitzman espadrilles, she rarely makes a misstep.

New competition for that crown, possibly more important than an actual crown, comes in the form of the Princess Letizia of Spain, who is about to become Queen.
