We still can't quite get over the Princess of Wales' BAFTA outfit on Sunday evening. The mother-of-three donned a bridal white, one-shoulder dress by Alexander McQueen, which she first wore to the show back in 2019.

The dress looked as if it had been reworked with cape sleeve detail which gave it an avant garde look. The royal added black elbow-length gloves, which sparked debate amongst fans. Some said they weren't sure about the contrast while some, like us, thought they were fabulous! Paired with her £17.99 Zara statement earrings, we thought it was a directional look for the brunette royal. Watch the pair arrive on the red carpet in our video below.

Kate wore gold heels by Aquazzura at the BAFTAs

Kate stepped out in the Aquazzura 'Fenix 105’ Gold Pumps, which she has worn before. They are gold, with cutout detail and are totally gorgeous.

Sadly, they don't make this particular style now, but they have a similar pair called the 'Spy' that look very like Kate's. The perfect show-stopper shoe!

Princess Kate appeared to tap Prince William's bottom when they made their swift arrival. The moment quickly went viral on Twitter after being caught by an onlooker close to the red carpet.

The royals walked the BAFTA red carpet for the first time in three years. Although all eyes were on Kate's Grecian gown, the Prince looked incredible in his velvet Tom Ford suit, which coordinated perfectly with Kate's opera gloves. William, 40, has been the president of BAFTA since 2010 and Kate first attended the event with her husband in 2017. She has started a tradition of wearing British designers on the BAFTA red carpet ever since.
