Yesterday, at the Princess of Asturias Awards, Infanta Sofía became the focal point for several reasons. One of them, her impeccable look in a burgundy dress by the Spanish brand Miphai, an ideal design that many autumn guests are wearing to weddings for its elegance and versatility. The other, the emotional moment she was dedicating to her sister during her speech: “Complicit sisters are our great travel companions,” said Princess Leonor to the audience at the Campoamor Theatre, provoking a knowing smile from Sofía and an ovation in the hall.
But if the gala showed her in its most elegant version, the Exemplary Town of Asturias 2025 visit has revealed her most natural and approachable side. The younger daughter of the kings accompanied her parents and Leonor to Valdesoto, a parish of the municipality of Siero that this year has been recognized with this distinction for her commitment to the conservation of heritage, nature and community life.
This event, traditionally celebrated the day after the awards, is one of the most moving engagements for the royal family. Sofía appeared especially comfortable, participating actively in the tour and sharing spontaneous gestures with the neighbors who waited for her with enthusiasm.
The look, seemingly simple, had all the ingredients of the new royal minimalism: a short gray jacket, with straight lines and impeccable structure, that could belong to & Other Stories by its cut and fabric.

It is a gray jacket from the new collection of & Other Stories that costs about 149 euros and remains available on the brand’s website. It can also be purchased in other tones. A truly elegant design, perfect for all kinds of occasions.

Grey, one of the season’s star tones, is presented here as the new elegant neutral. Far from being sober or dull, in Sofía’s case it brings serenity and sophistication, fitting perfectly with her youthful and natural style. The jacket, with structured shoulders and a short silhouette, highlights the figure and balances the proportions of the look.
To accompany this key piece, the infanta opted for high-waisted wide-leg jeans, a design that is winning among younger people for its comfort and its ability to visually elongate the silhouette. The denim choice adds the casual touch that balances the formality of the jacket, achieving a contemporary and functional ensemble.
Underneath, Sofía wore a basic white T-shirt, a timeless piece that has become the infallible wildcard of any wardrobe. Its simplicity enhances the outfit and confirms one of the keys of the new royal minimalism: to invest in essential, high-quality pieces that stand the test of time.
As for footwear, the infanta chose black shoes with a matte finish, comfortable yet elegant, completing the look with a classic touch. This detail underscores her stylistic coherence: Sofía avoids excess and bets on discreet, versatile pieces, always appropriate to the context.
The hairstyle also complemented the harmony of the ensemble. On this occasion, Sofía chose to wear her hair loose with a middle part and soft waves, a natural and relaxed style that reinforces the freshness of her look. It is a simple but very flattering hairstyle, which fits perfectly with the sobriety of the rest of the outfit and adds a touch of movement and youth.
The result is a balanced, thoughtful, and unpretentious outfit that fits perfectly with her institutional role and her age. Sofía demonstrates that basics are perfect for any occasion, and that they allow building a good capsule wardrobe.
