On Tuesday, the wife of King Felipe attended the commemoration of the World Red Cross and Red Crescent Day at the Oceanografic oceanarium in Valencia. The 49-year-old sported a daring hot pink dress that featured a cutoff around her midriff, giving audiences a sneak peek of her incredibly toned abs.
The mother of two completed the look with matching heels and a handbag, as well as gold hoop earrings and bouncy, shiny tresses. The ring detail dress, from the Spanish brand Cayro, retails for $65.

Letizia shares two daughters with Felipe, 54 – Princess Leonor, 16, and Princess Sofia, 15.
Earlier this month, the queen made headlines after she wore the same dress as another woman.

It is believed she met Felipe after he asked a journalist friend to set up a dinner so the pair could meet. Her engagement to Felipe, then a prince, sparked headlines as she was one of the few non-royals to become engaged to one.

She was also previously married to teacher Alonso Guerrero Pérez from 1998 until 1999.
Upon marriage, Letizia became Princess of Asturias. In 2014, she became queen after her father-in-law, King Juan Carlos, abdicated the throne. The former monarch's financial affairs have been under investigation by magistrates. The 84-year-old moved abroad, and his son became king.
Letizia has won approval in fashion magazines for her love of wearing bargain finds. She is also known for recycling numerous pieces from her royal closet, wearing them multiple times in public.
