This is not the only time Queen Letizia has pinned a a breast star through her sash to the waist section of her dress. I haven't done a comprehensive search, but it would appear that, when she does so, she is wearing a lace dress. In the following photo we can see that she wears a lace dress and a wide sash, and the star is pinned through her sash around waist level http://www.gettyimages.se/detail/nyhetsfoto/princess-letizia-of-spain-and-prince-felipe-of-spain-attend-nyhetsfoto/450378242 In contrast, Queen Sophia does not have her sash pinned at the waist or through her sash, as her dress is made from stronger material. http://www.gettyimages.se/detail/nyhetsfoto/princess-letizia-of-spain-prince-felipe-of-spain-queen-nyhetsfoto/450378200 In contrast, in the photo below, Queen Letizia is also seen wearing a wide sash, but it is not pinned at the waist by the star; however, because of the definite mark/fold in the sash just above her waist, I suspect the sash is secured unobtrusively. Nevertheless, the dress is created from more robust material, allowing the star to be placed more conventionally. http://www.gettyimages.com.au/detail/news-photo/princess-letizia-of-spain-attends-royal-gala-dinner-news-photo/51493943 In the following photo we can see a wide sash and that she has used her "safety pin" to keep the sash in place, possibly to avoid an unflattering look. http://www.theplace2.ru/photos/Queen-Letizia-of-Spain-md5187/pic-616879.html Once again, a more robust material allows the star to be worn away from the sash. Even when wearing a thin sash on a lace dress, http://www.gettyimages.com.au/detail/news-photo/princess-letizia-of-spain-and-prince-felipe-of-spain-depart-news-photo/167797130 she pins the star through the sash at waist level as well as having her brooch just above. My previous thoughts could have very limited, if any, validity. As Mauriz pointed out, the delicate nature of the dress fabric and construction is the determining factor.
