 Kate Middleton  doesn’t need a stylist for red carpet events - she’s got her closet! The Duchess of Cambridge and her  Duke  shut down the 2020 BAFTAs carpet on Sunday, February 1, with their ever-elegant demeanor. The 38-year-old royal sauntered into the high-profile event in an ethereal Alexander McQueen number. Once the initial stun of Kate’s royal presence evaporated, it was clear that her white and gold-blotted gown was a rewear from 2012. Scroll to see all her style details and the best moments from their carpet walk!

The Duke wore a tux while the Duchess looked stunning in her McQueen number. This year marks William's tenth year as President of BAFTA. He was in attendance to present the Fellowship award to film producer Kathleen Kennedy, who has produced Star Wars movies, including The Force Awakens, The Last Jedi and Rogue One, as well as other iconic films like Jurassic Park, ET and the Back to the Future trilogy.

Guests at the BAFTAs were encouraged to rewear an outfit or a sustainable alternative and the Duchess honored this nicely by wearing her Alexander McQueen gown. She first stepped out in the shimmering number at the state dinner in Malaysia on the Cambridges' diamond jubilee tour in 2012. The Duke also wore a repeat tux.
