Queen Letizia of Spain confirmed her loyalty to Sézane’s Paula Babies on Tuesday, debuting the mary jane slingback in a new white-and-black cap-toe version at Madrid’s Retina Eco Awards.
The French label’s $215 style has become one of the Queen’s most reliable signatures this year, worn repeatedly in black patent since June. Tuesday’s pair, cut in smooth ecru leather with a contrasting cap toe, extended that streak while adding fresh definition against her white Mango suit.

The Paula Babies sit on a two-inch block heel, leather-covered for uniformity, with a rounded toe that keeps the silhouette grounded in retro codes. Twin straps fasten with antique gold buckles across the instep, while the slingback construction leaves the heel open — a detail that situates the style within the broader slingback revival dominating runways and front rows this season.
Letizia paired the shoes with a past-season Mango two-piece in crisp white, finished with new earrings from Spanish jeweler PDPAOLA.

The choice underscores her strategic shoe rotation. In recent weeks alone, Letizia has leaned on Sézane’s Paula Babies in black, Massimo Dutti’s pointed slingbacks for travel and Picón espadrilles for summer engagements. That balance of accessible labels and heritage Spanish names has made her one of the most consistent drivers of trend-relevant but approachable footwear in Europe’s royal landscape.

Her repeat also aligns with the mary jane’s wider resurgence. Rihanna’s Miu Miu pair and Hoka’s hybrid sneaker iteration have pulled the silhouette into both luxury and performance categories.
