Queen Letizia of Spain is a total freaking rockstar. Just look at that sequined Nina Ricci striped number and her slicked-back hair look. We know you're probably as shocked as we are — it's pretty hard to believe a royal (a queen!) is in fact bringing this much edge to an official gala, but it happened.

Always-stylish Letizia [1] chose the Resort 2017 dress to attend the ABC Premios in Madrid with husband King Felipe VI [2] — the same day they revealed their adorable Christmas card [3] — but in true form, she didn't just wear it off the rack; she gave it her own touch [4]. Letizia removed a chain detail on the skinny belt accompanying the knee-length piece, and that simple switch made the dress totally appropriate for a queen to wear at a gala, if you ask us. She paired the stunning and form-fitting piece with a leather clutch that matched her patent shoes and sported a purple and blue smoky eye we'll be wearing this weekend at the club. Scroll ahead for more photos of Letizia's look and to shop the exact same dress she's wearing.
