The Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton ‘defied’ the Times’s Up protest at the 71st British Academy Film Awards, organised by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA), by wearing a green dress – instead of the black worn by the celebrities attending the ceremony.
All other film stars and celebrities made the one-color statement to show their support for the fight against sexual harassment against women, however, only the ribbon around Middleton’s Jenny Packham dress was black:
The dress code to be followed by the BAFTA ceremony was to show solidarity with the American Golden Globes held last month. Middleton wore an empire line dress in a shade of bottle green, which was complemented by an emerald necklace and earrings. She accessorized her dress with a black bow above her bump, matching her shoes and clutch handbag.
Experts pointed out that royals only wear black at funerals, so supporting the cause would be a breach of protocol. This is why before the ceremony, it was not made clear whether Middleton would wear an all-black outfit.
