Also means
flashy
Usage Note
Llamativo describes anything that draws attention through brightness, boldness, or unusualness — a loud colour, a striking outfit, or a sensational headline. It can carry a mildly negative connotation of being garish or showing off, similar to English 'flashy.' The root verb llamar ('to call') gives it the sense of something that 'calls out' to the eye.
Examples
"Llevaba un vestido muy llamativo."
Natural Translation
She was wearing a very eye-catching dress.
