    As the president of BAFTA, Prince William is a regular fixture on the red carpet at the annual awards ceremony, with wife Princess Kate often joining him. However, the Prince and Princess of Wales skipped the glitzy ceremony in 2025, in favor of spending time with their three children—Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis. But in 2026, Kate and William made their long-awaited return to the BAFTAs red carpet, and their appearance did not disappoint.

    Arriving at London's Royal Festival Hall, Princess Kate rewore a gorgeous dress from her closet, opting for a raspberry and rose pink Gucci gown first seen in 2019. Featuring multiple shades of floaty pink fabric, and tied at the waist with a burgundy velvet belt, the princess's outfit was a romantic option for date night with William.

    Princess Kate accessorized her beautiful dress with Queen Mary's Art Deco Choker Bracelet, and Queen Elizabeth's Greville Diamond Chandelier Earrings, which were created by Cartier. She completed the look with a Prada "Raso" Clutch Bag in Burgundy Velvet and Oscar de la Renta "Cabrina" Lamé Pumps in Platinum (via @katemiddletonstyled).
