The Duchess of Cambridge and Prince William may have been worried about attending the 70th annual EE British Academy Film Awards, but judging by the wild applause the couple were greeted with – they’re a very welcome addition to the 70th annual EE British Academy Film Awards at London’s Royal Albert Hall.

Despite living just down the road at Kensington Palace, the royal couple were the last to arrive and made one hell of an entrance.

The 35-year-old absolutely stunned in a custom-made, off-the-shoulder Alexander McQueen dress with a floral print and belted waist.

The mother-of-two wore her chocolate locks up in a voluminous low ‘do while statement diamond earrings added a dramatic touch.

Locally, Australian actress Nicole Kidman, who is nominated for the Best Supporting Actress in Lion, walked the red carpet without husband Keith Urban as he prepares for the Grammys in LA.

The British Academy Film Awards, which are the British equivalent of the Oscars, will be hosted by Stephen Fry.

Now that’s the smile of someone who knows they’re going to get an Oscar in a week… Emma Stone has just taken out the BAFTA for best actress.

Dev Patel took out the BAFTA for Best Supporting Actor.

While Viola Davis took the gong for Best Supporting Actress.

It’s a royal date night for The Cambridges.

It’s all about the details: The Duchess’ bespoke custom-made dress by Alexander McQueen was a seriously chic choice.

Last month, it was reported Catherine was warned not to attend the event as she may “outshine” the celebrities.

Best Supporting Actress nominee Nicole Kidman confessed her daughters weren’t fans of her Armani gown.

“It’s too low. If they’d had their say I wouldn’t have been allowed out in it because it’s low cut,” she told the Daily Mail.
