Kate, 35, who was attending the EE British Academy Film Awards for the first time, looked stunning in a black, floral-print off-the-shoulder dress with a Bardot neckline and flared skirt by Alexander McQueen and wore her hair up in a stylish chignon. She accessorized her updo with diamond earrings.

Her husband, 34, who is president of BAFTA, wore a classic black tux and later presented the fellowship award to comedian Mel Brooks.

The couple sat in the front row at the awards show and laughed along as host Stephen Fry joked in his opening monologue about the future king being related to British soap star Danny Dyer (the EastEnders actor learned of their distant connection on an episode of the BBC's Who Do You Think You Are?).

Fry also poked fun at Donald Trump's dismissal of Meryl Streep as "overrated" following her Golden Globes speech last month, telling the audience, "I look down on row after row of the most overrated people on the planet."
