Queen Letizia of Spain is abs-olutely pushing royal buttons.
The royal stepped out on Tuesday — and ruffled some feathers — in her latest trendy outfit, wearing a bright pink dress with stomach cutouts to a World Red Cross and Red Crescent Day.
Attending a commemoration in Valencia, Spain, the 49-year-old showed off her incredibly toned midsection in a fuchsia dress by Spanish label Cayro Woman ($65).
The long-sleeved midi style with shoulder pads features a gap at the waist and gathered ring detail at the middle.
“While we wait for Catherine’s next appearance I would like to take a minute and bow to Queen Letizia’s chiseled abs,” tweeted one royal account, adding plenty of flame emojis. “Lettie is on fire!!”
“This is what 49 looks like,” another Twitter user posted. “Queen Letizia is on point. Not only is she hardworking but also a royal style icon. Those clothes are banging.”
The Spanish queen is known to rock fashion-forward looks from the high street, frequently wearing affordable brands like Zara and Mango.

While many royal fans were loving Letizia’s statement-making dress, others weren’t so sure about a queen baring her abs.
“The dress is beautiful but I found it inappropriate for the occasion,” one account commented on Queen Letizia Style’s Instagram post, while another remarked, “She is so classy she doesn’t need to resort to this sort of thing.”

However, Queen Letizia is known to embrace the latest styles while showing off her toned physique — frequently wearing trendy pieces in bright colors and fitted styles.
This isn’t the first time her style has turned heads in recent weeks; Queen Letizia showed up to an event earlier this month wearing the exact same black-and-white belted Mango dress as one of the attendees.

Recently, the Spanish queen also twinned with Meghan Markle when she carried the same tan Carolina Herrera bag also owned by the duchess.
