The Prince and Princess of Wales made a glamorous entrance at the BAFTA Awards in London last night.

Catherine, Princess of Wales, has joined her husband, the Prince of Wales, President of the British Academy of Film and Television Arts, on one of British cinema’s most celebrated evenings. 

Princess Catherine’s BAFTA Look Goes Viral: Here’s Why 

Catherine, Princess of Wales’s appearance at the British Academy of Film and Television Arts Awards 2025 quickly went viral and for good reason. The event marked her return to the red carpet, with her last appearance at the ceremony dating back to 2023. Since then, the Princess had stepped back from public duties following her cancer diagnosis, making the moment deeply emotional for royal watchers around the world, who were moved to see her attending the awards with such poise and glamour.

As a champion of sustainable fashion, the Princess of Wales has once again proved that recycling one’s wardrobe can become a viral moment. Opting for a timeless silhouette, she rewore her dusty-rose gown by Gucci, which she previously debuted in 2019, reaffirming her quiet commitment to considered elegance.

Another reason this look went viral was her impeccable styling. The princess wore her hair down in glamorous, wavy locks that framed her face, paired with tasteful makeup and smoky eyes that made her eye color pop, enhancing her natural beauty without appearing overdone. 

She accessorised the gown with a burgundy velvet clutch and matching belt that perfectly matched her husband’s burgundy velvet suit, creating a flawlessly coordinated appearance for the evening. She chose dazzling jewels from the royal collection: the Greville Chandelier Earrings from the Queen Elizabeth II collection, paired with the rarely seen Queen Mary Choker Bracelet.
