Kate Middleton Arrives At The 2026 BAFTAs With 80s-Glam Curly Hair
One of the highlights of the BAFTAs each year is the excitement and anticipation that the future King and Queen of England will be there, given that Prince William is the president of the organization. Luckily, for royal fans, they were both in attendance and were dressed to the nines.
For the prestigious arts and entertainment event, Kate turned heads in a stunning, flowing gown with lilac and darker violet colors. The chiffon gown included a velvet, plum-colored belt that cinched her waist. She paired the headline-making gown with some dazzling diamond jewelry, like a chunky bracelet and dangling earrings.
Although fans loved her dress and talked about it for days following, her signature brown hair caught a lot of people's attention as well. Her hair was worn down, and in curls that were reminiscent of 80s glam. It looked long, voluminous, and draped in front of her shoulders or behind her, adding extra emphasis to her overall ensemble.
