It doesn't get much more A-list than a starry-eyed night at the Oscars. The iconic annual evening attracts Hollywood royalty in their finest looks.
But the event has also been known to attract actual royalty. We all know that royals are not afraid to step onto a red carpet, whether that be Princess Kate and Prince William's annual appearance at the BAFTAs or Meghan Markle at the 2018 British Fashion Awards.

We also can't forget Princess Diana's pearl-adorned look at the British Fashion Awards in 1989 or Princess Anne at the BAFTAs in 1971 presenting Sir David Attenborough with a Desmond Davis Award.
