The BAFTA red carpet was last night dominated by monochrome ensembles – including the Princess of Wales, Julianne Moore and Jamie Lee Curtis.
Proving she was just as on-trend and stylish as the A-listers surrounding her, Kate, 41, opted for a white-and-black Alexander McQueen one-shoulder gown for the glamorous occasion, which she first wore to the event in 2019.
The recycled number had undergone some minor alterations, with the floral detailing on the shoulder swapped for a sweeping train of material.
Kate, who arrived at The Royal Festival Hall in London with Prince William, 40, teamed the elegant gown with trendy black opera gloves and a black clutch bag.
She wasn’t the only celebrity to adopt the tried-and-tested monochrome look; Julianne Moore donned a Saint Laurent black dress with a fluffy white coat, while Jamie Lee Curtis wore a white satin skirt and black jacket.

Hayley Atwell, 40, looked sensational in a sheered cropped shirt which flashed a glimpse of her toned midriff.She completed the look with a high waisted black shirt, that hugged her gorgeous curves and boasted a dramatic train.
Elsewhere, Derry Girls star Nicola Coughlan, 36, opted for a eye-catching white gown with black floral detailing.
But it wasn’t only the ladies who opted for the monochrome trend – with host Richard E. Grant opting for a white blazer paired with black trousers. Actor Martin Freeman, 51, similarly sported a cream jacket with black trousers.
Tonight’s event marked the first time Kate and William, who have made it their tradition to attend the biggest night in UK cinema each year, have attended in three years.
William has been the president of Bafta since 2010 and Kate first attended the event with her husband in 2017.
For his outfit, William kept things classic and simple in a double-breasted black velvet tuxedo jacket.
Kate sported glamorous makeup with a pink lipstick and a dark smokey eye, and swept her hair behind her shoulders for the occasion.

She has worn Alexander McQueen – one of her favourite fashion brands – on numerous occasions, most notably choosing its creative director Sarah Burton to design her wedding dress.
Kate’s white toga-style gown featured a fitted bodice, cinched waist and flowing floor-length skirt.
The outfit is one she has worn in the past, including to the BAFTAs in 2019, but she has tweaked the shoulder detailing on this occasion to include a train. It had previously featured a floral detail across the left shoulder.
However Kate’s dramatic opera gloves were a new look for the royal, who hasn’t been spotted wearing a similar accessory before. The gloves are the must-have accessory of the year, according to stylists.
Sienna Miller opted for a black lace pair for the Bafta’s last year, while Olivia Rodrigo, Millie Bobby Brown and Euphoria’s Sydney Sweeney have also been snapped in opera gloves on the red carpet.
TV and celebrity fashion expert Miranda Holder previously told FEMAIL the accessory has become an essential for any formal occasion.
She explained: ‘Old fashioned Hollywood glamour is the order of the day as celebrities clamour to be the ultimate icons of sophistication following the more sartorially barren two years of the pandemic.
‘Now it’s all about making a statement with panache and elegance – and nothing says this better than a pair of opera gloves.’

The royal couple have made the event an annual date in the diary, however they last attended in 2020, shortly before the Covid-19 pandemic brought lockdown to the UK.
In 2018, the couple attended while Kate was pregnant with baby Louis, and were also guests of honour in 2017.
