The $40 Zara Top That's About to Sell Like Crazy
Much has been said about the Meghan Markle Effect, aka her ability to make anything she wears sell out. Markle—and certainly Kate Middleton—has sellout powers in spades, but plenty of other royals do too. Case in point: Queen Letizia of Spain, who regularly wears affordable items, including Steve Madden shoes.
Photographed in Oviedo, Spain, Queen Letizia wore the ultimate on-trend budget buy: Zara's Plaid Top ($40). She styled it with sophisticated royalty-worthy pieces: slim black trousers, pointy-toe pumps, and a classic black bag. The plaid trend, of course, comes back like clockwork every fall—we've already shown you how to wear plaid blazers and pants, but a sleek and work-appropriate blouse is one of the easiest ways to try it right now. Scroll down to see Queen Letizia's new outfit and shop it for yourself.

Erin got her start as aBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing intern over 13 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible. Outside of work, she loves tennis, classic rock, traveling, and smothering her dog with affection.
