Mum andPops‘ royal night out!
Prince WilliamandKate Middletonhit the red carpet for the third year in a row at the annual BAFTA Awards (the British equivalent of the Oscars) on Sunday.
For the event, Kate, 37, wore a white asymmetrical Alexander McQueen dress with floral embellishments on her left shoulder. She paired the elegant gown with a white clutch, a diamond bracelet and a pair of her late mother-in-law Princess Diana’s pearl and silver earrings. Diana wore the earrings in 1995 while accepting the Humanitarian of the Year Award from the United Celebral Palsy Foundation.
William, 36, opted for a simple black tuxedo with a white pocket square.

Kate made headlines last year for herdress choice for the annual BAFTAs. The royal, who was seven months pregnant withPrince Louisat the time, was criticized for walking the red carpet in a deep green gown with a black sash after attendees were encouraged to wear all black in support of the Time’s Up movement.
The royal family tends to stay away from anything political —they don’t even vote. Although Time’s Up fight to end the harassment, assault and mistreatment of women in the workplace is not aligned with any political party, it’s still more of a public stand than the royals typically take on hot-button issues.
