Proving once again that she's the coolest royal (She wears leather pants! She twins with her daughters!) Queen Letizia of Spain sported a sleek gray streak in her dark hair during an appearance at a language and journalism symposium spotlighting climate change in Logroño, a city in the north of Spain. While she's never been shy about her natural hair color, the chunky streak was front and center during the visit.

For the occasion, Letizia wore a pair of menswear-inspired pleated pants with a check pattern and a long, leather trench coat from Lottusse 1877. A Nina Ricci Marche shoulder bag finished the look, as well as her Martinelli chunky loafers. Harper's Bazaar notes that the engagement in Logroño marks Letizia's first outing with such a prominent gray streak, as she's usually seen with dark brunette hair.

The publication also notes that writing and broadcasting are near and dear to the royal's heart, having worked at Televisión Española and CNN before she married into the Spanish royal family back in 2004.

Last month, when Letizia and her husband, Felipe VI, met with the Danish royal family in Denmark, her hair was pushed back and without the new gray stripe — probably a move to showcase the Fleur-de-Lis tiara, more commonly known as "La Buena." It's one of Letizia's most-worn tiaras and can be traced back to Princess Victoria Eugenie of Battenberg, one of Queen Victoria's granddaughters. Since its debut in 1906 when King Alfonso XIII gifted it to Victoria Eugenie to commemorate their wedding, it has been strongly associated with the queens of Spain.
