Serving up Hollywood glitz and glamour, a roster of stars stepped out for the annual British Academy Film Awards (Baftas) last night in London.

While the seminal First World War epic All Quiet on the Western Front took home an impressive seven awards (including best picture and best director), Austin Butler and Cate Blanchett won the coveted best actor and actress trophies for their respective performances in Elvis and Tar.

Beyond the prizes, the major talking point was (naturally) the attendees’ red carpet outfits. Stars that made the best-dressed list include Florence Pugh in a Nina Ricci gown; Anya Taylor-Joy in a custom Schiaparelli dress; Michelle Yeoh in a Dior suit and Cate Blanchett in a vintage Margiela dress. But it’s Kate Middleton’s choice of earrings that hogged the limelight.

Dressed in a reworked off-shoulder Alexander McQueen dress that she debuted at the 2019 Baftas, the Princess of Wales paired it with long, black opera gloves. The elegant look was accessorised with a pair of statement earrings from none other than high-street favourite Zara.

Cut into a cascading style, the floral-shaped metal dangle earrings boast rhinestone applique and look far more expensive than their price tag. Costing just £17.99 (Zara.com), it’s no surprise the earrings are currently out of stock – but if you’re looking to get Kate’s occasion look for less, the high street is packed with similar styles from the likes of Oliver Bonas, Asos and more.
