I liked many engagement outfits (Kate's, Mary's, Victoria's, to name a few), but my favourite is Letizia's. That white suit was so classy and well-tailored, that made me follow her fashion from day one (let's not talk about her disappointments of late, there are other threads for that). My worst should be Madeleine's pinkish dress - that was way too sugary and old-fashioned for my personal taste.
exactly my choices1. Mary's beige dress and brown belt (I didn't realize that she lost so much weight until I see again her engagement pictures)

2. Lalla Salma's orange caftan and gold belt

3. Kate's blue dress

I liked also Letizia's white suit, but it looked more like working suit, than an outfit for announcement of engagement.

Thanks for posting. She was perfect. It is a pitty that she gained so much weight, it destroys her. 30y after her husband is still absolutely handsome.carlota said:a mention also for grand duchess maria teresa. i liked how demure and classy her outfit looked.
I think Victoria, Madeleine and Kate had the loveliest engagement outfits.
A look back- engagement outfits of current Queens:
1947: Princess Elizabeth
1959: Princess Donna Paola Ruffo di Calabria
1961: Princess Sofia
1965: Princess Beatrix
1966: Princess Margrethe
1968: Sonja Haraldsen
1976: Silvia Sommerlath
I liked the suit worn by Princess Alexandra - it was very dark blue velvet with a fir trim on the skirt - an unusual touch. The video footage makes it appear to be black. Love the shot of the engagement ring with her nail varnish. I think Princess Marina looks pretty good too - both very elegant women.
