The Princess of Wales oozes old Hollywood glamour in recycled Alexander McQueen dress, chic black gloves and Zara earrings at the BAFTAs

The Princess of Wales made a regal style statement as she arrived at the EE 76th British Academy Film Awards arm-in-arm with her husband, Prince William.

The 41-year-old opted for an exquisite one-shouldered white flowing chiffon Alexander McQueen gown that featured extensive draped material on one side. Putting her own old Hollywood glamour touch on the look, the Princess of Wales added a pair of chic black satin gloves that complemented the matching clutch she toted her belongings in.

With her long brunette locks styled in a sleek and sophisticated manner, Kate took a risk with her accessories as she opted for a pair of eye-catching, gold bejewelled, budget-friendly drop Zara earrings that framed her face.

The mother-of-three looked happy and relaxed as she arrived at the prestigious event honouring the best in cinema with her husband William, who was dapper in a black, double-breasted suit and bow tie.

The outing is a long time coming for the royal couple who last attended the BAFTAs in 2020. Last year, the Prince of Wales, who has been the president of the British Academy of Film and Television Arts since February 2010, was seen in a pre-recorded video congratulating all the nominees. They were confirmed to be attending this year’s ceremony earlier this week. 

The event also serves as date night for the pair who did not bring their children, Prince George, nine, Princess Charlotte, seven, and Prince Louis, who, by the sounds of it, are a handful! During a recent reception for the England Wheelchair Rugby League team in Hampton Court Palace, Kate was asked how she stays fit, to which she responded: “It’s running around after the children. I do it all, whenever I can squeeze in exercise, I do, even jumping on the trampoline with my children before school.” Definitely, time for Kate Middleton and Prince William to let loose during the BAFTAs!
