Back in the big dust for William and Kate, on their first red carpet of the year since Harry’s controversial memoir. In the evening baftathe annual British Academy Film Awards. — the British equivalent of Oscar night — the couple put on a great show, proving their reputation for sustainability. The Princess of Wales, in particular, shone in her white Alexander McQueen grand evening gown, a chiffon piece with an asymmetrical neckline with a slight, almost airy effect. A sophisticated look that she already wore for the same occasion in 2019, but this time slightly modified with a soft bow on the shoulder strap and a combination of a pair of long black femme fatale gloves and a clutch. Next to her is a very charming Prince William in his dark velvet tuxedo.
However, it was they who broke the hearts of the fans. floral maxi earrings by Zara. Ultra-light chandelier model with copper embossed leaves and petals, with small cubic zirconias to illuminate the petal. An unexpected choice for the princess, who could have chosen one of the many precious parures inherited from the queen, but instead chose to maintain some restraint, perhaps in accordance with the wishes of King Charles, who, without giving up traditional luxury, a coronation ceremony that is more sober and respectful of the difficult times the British are going through.
As in a perfect deal with the Sovereign, Kate Middleton also wanted to do her part, offering a look already worn four years ago and betting on a young and affordable home that Queen Letizia Ortiz had already praised very highly. The Spanish brand’s earrings sold for as little as 18 euros before selling like hotcakes and running out after a few hours. sold out. Proof of the attractiveness and charisma of Kate, who never makes a mistake in choosing her own style. Royal observers who were waiting for yesterday’s event to see some of the historic creations were disappointed, but public opinion, especially in the United Kingdom, showed that it highly appreciated the king’s sister-in-law’s fresh and innovative style.
It wasn’t the first time the princess favored apparently cheaper accessories over diamonds and emeralds, but it had never yet occurred to her to wear them on the red carpet: a circumstance that traditionally would have called for much more jewelry, and instead Kate wanted to offer her own innovative a style with a bold but clearly rewarding proposition for the increasingly demanding eyes of the very young, who appreciate the inexpensive choice of a princess and, like the good children of cancellation culture, see bloodied diamonds in crowns. and diadems of the royal family of British colonialism. However, for those who fight so much for the planet, we must remember that a pair of family diamonds has been and remains a more sustainable choice than earring models that are mass-produced and sold in hundreds of pieces around the world.
