Infanta Sofía travelled from Paris to attend the National Day parade on 12 October 2026 at Madrid’s Plaza de Neptuno, wearing a red suit she had worn in public before. King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia attended with her. Princess Leonor was there too.
The Tommy Hilfiger outfit pairs a double-breasted jacket with straight-leg trousers. Sofía completed the look with backless ballet flats. The tailored suit offered an alternative to the dresses often seen at ceremonies of this kind, and belongs to The Sofia Capsule.
The collection name refers to American model and influencer Sofia Richie Grainge, not the Spanish Infanta. La Razón has reported on the collaboration behind The Sofia Capsule and the coincidence of names. For the parade, Sofía repeated the suit instead of wearing a new outfit.
She first wore it in October 2025 in Oviedo, during audiences with recipients of the Premios Princesa de Asturias. A year later, the suit appeared again at Madrid’s national celebration. Hola and Europa Press also reported the repeat appearance, connecting the same pieces to two public events on Spain’s institutional calendar.
Her university life has continued outside Spain. Sofía began her studies in Lisbon before moving to Paris for the second year of Political Science and International Relations at Forward College. Gala reported that she travelled from Paris to Madrid for the parade. Her studies remain based abroad, while her public appearances in Spain have coincided with major institutional dates.
Coverage of a recent private wedding contrasts with Sofía’s appearance at a national ceremony alongside the royal family. The parade came a day before King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia were scheduled to travel to Ceuta and Melilla.
