There is a joyful event in Spain’s aristocratic circles that many have eagerly awaited. Victoria López-Quesada, known for her close ties to the royal family and as the goddaughter of King Felipe VI, is expecting her first child with her husband Enrique Moreno de la Cova. The baby is due in March next year, bringing great happiness to their loved ones. For Victoria’s parents, Pedro López-Quesada and Cristina Borbón-Sicilia, the baby will be their first and long-awaited grandchild. Meanwhile, for Enrique’s family—artist Cristina Ibarra and renowned breeder Enrique Moreno de la Cova—this will be another occasion to celebrate together, as they are already grandparents thanks to their eldest daughter, who heads a large family.
Recently, Victoria made her first public appearance since announcing her pregnancy, and she did not go unnoticed. She showcased her baby bump, choosing an outfit for the occasion that will undoubtedly shape her wardrobe in the coming months. Her choice is a tribute to comfort without sacrificing current fashion trends. This approach proves that expecting a child is no reason to give up on elegance, but rather an opportunity to see personal style from a new perspective.
The centerpiece of her look was a knit set—a choice that can be called brilliant in its simplicity and practicality. Knitwear is ideal for the changing figure of an expectant mother, as the stretchy fabric gently hugs the silhouette without restricting movement, adapting to a growing belly. This allows women to postpone buying specialized maternity clothing until later or even do without it altogether. Victoria opted for a versatile ensemble suitable for both the last warm days of the outgoing season and the chilly autumn ahead. It can easily be paired with boots and a warm jacket, creating new looks.
Her outfit consisted of a top with an American-style armhole and halter neckline in an A-line silhouette, paired with wide ankle-length trousers. Both pieces were made from a soft, stretchy fabric with a wavy pattern in warm white and orange shades. A barely noticeable shimmering thread woven into the material gave the set a refined touch, creating a subtle sparkle with each movement. For footwear, she chose a foolproof option—wedge espadrilles. The gold-toned model with ankle-wrapping ribbons visually elongated her legs, adding sophistication to the look without sacrificing comfort. The look was completed with loose, straight hair parted down the middle, several gold rings on her fingers, and an ultra-natural makeup with a hint of pink blush and mascara-accentuated lashes.
