Local fashion watchers are disappointed to hear that Princess Kate is expected to miss this year’s BAFTAs at the Royal Festival Hall on Sunday, February 16th. Her absence has many reminiscing about her past BAFTAs appearances, particularly her debut in 2017.
That year, the then Duchess of Cambridge stunned onlookers in a custom-made, off-the-shoulder Alexander McQueen gown. The black dress featured a vibrant green and violet floral print, a fitted bodice, and a flowing tiered skirt.
She complemented the gown with a black Alexander McQueen clutch, Prada heels, and a sparkling bracelet, reportedly a wedding gift from Prince Philip to Queen Elizabeth II.
The Princess wore her hair up, showcasing her diamond and morganite earrings. Her makeup was classic and elegant, with rosy cheeks, a soft pink lip, and smoky eyes.
The look remains a fan favorite. A recent social media post featuring photos of the 2017 ensemble drew numerous compliments, with commenters praising her beauty and elegance. Many called her a future queen, expressing their admiration and respect.
