Kate Middleton Rewears Two-Tone Gucci Dress for Glamorous 2026 BAFTAs Return

Kate Middleton proved once again that great style deserves an encore.

The Princess of Wales returned to the 2026 BAFTA Film Awards red carpet in London wearing a familiar favorite: her striking two-tone Gucci gown first seen in February 2019. And honestly? It felt just as fresh the second time around.

The dress blended shades of raspberry pink, rose, and muted aubergine, creating a rich, jewel-toned palette that stood out beautifully against the red carpet. The ruched bodice added soft texture, while a velvety belt cinched her waist and gave the silhouette definition. The flowing skirt skimmed the floor with effortless movement, striking that perfect balance between regal and relaxed.

Kate kept the glamour classic. She accessorized with Queen Elizabeth’s Greville Diamond Chandelier Earrings, originally created by Cartier, and added a diamond bracelet and statement cuff for extra sparkle. In her hand, she carried a dark red velvet box clutch that subtly echoed the tones in her gown.

Her hair was styled in a side part with cascading curls that fell over her shoulders, softening the look and keeping it romantic. The overall effect felt polished but not overly styled. It’s that ease she does so well.

Prince William complemented her look in a burgundy velvet dinner jacket that cleverly matched the tone of her belt, proving once again they understand the art of subtle coordination.

Kate has attended the BAFTAs since 2017, often using the event to showcase both high fashion and thoughtful rewearing. This Gucci moment was more than just glamorous. It was a quiet nod to sustainable style done right.

Sometimes the most powerful fashion statement isn’t new. It’s knowing when to wear it again.
