Kate Middleton Looked Glamorous in a White Gown at the BAFTA Awards

The Princess of Wales made a fabulous return to the awards show, accessorizing with black evening gloves.

After two years, Kate Middleton is making her glamorous return to the British Academy Film Awards. At the BAFTAs in London this evening, the Princess of Wales stunned in a flowing white one-shoulder gown with black evening gloves.

ZARA Cascading Flower Earrings

Her gown by Alexander McQueen is a rewear, with a modification to the shoulder. She accessorized with what appear to be dramatic statement floral earrings from Zara and a black clutch. Her make-up, with a smoky eye, complimented the black accessories. Kate joins the growing list of celebrities who have leaned into the opera glove trend.

This marks the first red carpet appearance for the Prince and Princess of Wales in 2023, and Prince William kept it simple in a classic black tuxedo.

Though the BAFTAs occurred in 2022 and 2021, Prince William and Kate Middleton skipped last year for unspecified reasons, and in 2021, pulled out of attending following Prince Philip’s death. For their last appearance at the event in 2020, Kate re-wore a white and gold Alexander McQueen gown, and in 2019, she wore pearl and diamond earrings that belonged to Princess Diana:

Tonight’s outfit is more dramatic compared to her previous BAFTA red carpet appearances, but the dress evokes her 2019 Alexander McQueen outfit.

The Waleses will be in the audience for a tribute to the late Queen Elizabeth, led by actress Helen Mirren. They will be joined by an A-list group of celebrities, including Brian Cox, Cynthia Erivo, Lashana Lynch, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Lily James, Regé Jean Page, and Troy Kotsur. They will likely meet attendees backstage, and Prince William is expected to give a speech during the ceremony.

The BAFTAs will stream on BritBox in the United States.
