The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge attended the British Academy Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) awards ceremony this evening at Royal Albert Hall in London.
Prince William attended in his role as President of the Academy, a post he has held since 2010. The couple has attended the awards show every year since 2017. The BAFTA's dress code this year was focused on sustainability. The organization is working toward carbon neutrality and asked guests to consider wearing outfits that were either repeats, vintage, or from a sustainable fashion designer. The Duchess opted to repeat her bespoke Alexander McQueen gown first seen in Malaysia on the couple’s 2012 tour of Southeast Asia. The creamy-white gown features a sheer overlay sprinkled with a gold embroidered hibiscus floral motif. The gold lame embroidery also borders the short sleeves, scoop neckline, and runs down the center of the gown. Other elements include an empire waist, and a shirred white fabric at the bust.
Below is a look at the back of the dress.
It appears Kate had the sleeves altered. They are slimmer and no longer sheer compared to 2012. The Duchess accessorized the gown with new pieces. She carried an Anya Hindmarch 'Marano' Glitter-Finished Box Clutch (US$595).
On her feet were the Jimmy Choo 'Romy 100' pumps in Gold Glitter (US$725) - a style she also owns in silver glitter.
Kate complemented the gown with a new Van Cleef and Arpels Magic Alhambra set.
The Duchess wore the Van Cleef & Arpels Magic Alhambra Earrings with 2 Motifs (£5,400) and the Van Cleef & Arpels Magic Alhambra Necklace with 6 Motifs (£7,850).
Tonight we saw the return of Kate's mystery emerald-cut citrine ring which is believed to date back to 2008. She starting wearing it again in 2018 at Harry and Meghan's wedding.

I certainly did not expect to see this gown tonight. Not sure it was a good choice of repeat when she has so many better ones to choose from. I'm a little disappointed, but the Duchess still looks regal and elegant.

Love the dress, that was one of my picks to be repeated. The new jewellery and the beautiful updo- Catherine look wonderful and good use of a repeat dress. If this is going to be an ongoing tradition for this event we will see repeats of all her beautiful gowns. I like the way Catherine makes small changes to make the outfit update and modern.

I am not a fan of the gown. But I do love the jewelry, clutch and shoes. I love her hairstyle.

She is simply breathtaking. I love this outfit as it reminds me a lot of the one Lady Diana wore!

She looked great in the gown in 2012. And she looks great in this gown in 2020. I love the add on of earrings and especially the necklace to complement the gown. The hair is exquisite. Of all her BAFTA gowns, I of course love the 2019 AMcQueen. She looked perfect in that gown. Go Kate! She can do no wrong. Regal and splendid always.

Lovely Post, I like the change she did to the sleeves, it has a more formal evening look. One thing I didn't notice on her left ring she is wearing that 'Citrine Ring' that she wore before she married, the older ring that she started re-wearing, She started wearing it at Wimbledon 2019 from what I remember. I noticed it in a big high resolution image.

I'm not a fan of this gown. I am not keen on framed bustlines such as this one. All the gold embroided overlay combined with the gold glitter shoes and gold glitter clutch too much. The jewellery unfortunately is a miss for me. Regardless the Duchess looked beautiful. Her hair on the other hand looked absolutely superb. Elegant and feminine.

This dress is so great, love the way it moves as she walks. Hair, jewellery, bag - all lovely.

I am always amazed how often Kate gets it right. The BAFTAs wanted the evening to be focused on sustainability and encouraged the celebrities to re-wear a dress or choose one from a sustainable designer. The Duchess of Cambridge was a wonderful example to follow.

The SM has beautiful embroidery, beading and craftsmanship in the front and back with sleeves altered beautifully deserved a second viewing, it is an exquisite grown. This is February and it is pretty cold out and the fellows wear suit jackets, you can see Kate with a red nose while she was walking the red carpet from outside to inside. This gown was one of my choices, because the gown covers her back and almost half of her arms. Still my absolute favorite is the 2019 SM. The Duchess I have notice many times and for many years she like detail interesting items and clothes she purchase items that will match other items she has. Her Ballon Blue 33 MM Cartier watch, I think I read somewhere she has a mother of pearl face, and her jewelry a four leaf cover four-leaf clover means faith, hope, love and luck made of mother of pearl that is her taste. You did not see any of the big stars wear heavy jewelry if any.💛 Your comment will be posted after it is approved.
