Do we know what time the royals will be arriving and will they be handing out any award/s?
I like the dress, LOVE the jewels.
I know Ill get jumped on for saying this. However, standing up against sexual violence is NOT making a political statement anymore than Charles and co working against climate change is. I think it was in extremely bad taste for her to show up in non-black. If the politics was too much to deal with, she should have just not come. The black dress code was announced before their attendance was.

Love the dress. Love the jewels. An up do would have been nice, but her hair looks beautiful down too.
I don’t think anyone should be told what to wear. If I were attending the awards, I’d resent being told I had to wear a specific color for ANY reason. Seriously? People who are protesting being forced into a bad situation are now going to force people to wear the same color? Seriously?!
To me- this is way beyond just a political statement issue for the royals. I personally think wearing the same color is meaningless. Everyone knows there are sexual violence issues. It is literally all over the news all the time. Wearing black doesn’t bring attention to anything. It doesn’t even mean you actually passionately care about the issue. Maybe you’re just conforming because it’s the popular thing to do. Nor does it change anything. Just because the entertainment industry has suddenly decided there is a problem doesn’t mean everyone needs to be told what to wear and shamed if they CHOOSE to wear a different color. The whole thing annoys me to no end.

Catherine looks beautiful tonight. This is probably one of the best gowns she's worn and those jewels are fabulous.
I'm 100% in support of the Times Up movement, but I don't have a problem if a celeb (or royal) decides not to wear black at any of these events. The color they wear doesn't prove they support the movement. I mean, let's just take a look at James Franco. He showed up at the Golden Globes wearing a 'Time's Up' pin and then a few days later it came out that he had sexually harassed a number of women. For me, actions speak louder than the color someone chooses to wear.
Not often I agree with Piers Morgan. Catherine is being harassed but an anti harassment movement.
Piers Morgan Twitter:
Duchess of Cambridge being abused by 'feminists' on Twitter for not wearing a black dress at tonight's #BAFTAS*.
Apparently, she's not allowed to exercise HER feminist right to wear whatever colour dress she chooses.
I avoid the fashion threads because more often than not they're full of mean, petty comments. I will make an exception to say that I am personally so relieved that Kate didn't succumb to this weird diktat that women should wear black, it proves she's not a sheep like all those people who've never met a bandwagon they didn't jump right on to.
This movement has been hijacked by a group of people who believe that any person not holding an opinion EXACTLY the same as theirs is tantamount to a supporter of sexual abuse. They give feminism a bad name.
That goes to reckon you would never wear a cancer or aids ribbon right ??
Everyone knows about breast cancer. Wearing a ribbon is not going to save lives. People must be joining the band wagon right, because its the popular thing to do, to wear a ribbon to support cancer? I mean how possibly could wearing a ribbon ever change anything at all.
Its called showing support. Telling people they aren't alone. No one is forcing you to wear black. Or a ribbon. Its simply a sign of solidarity. Like wearing a puzzle piece for autism. Like wearing a ribbon is not going to cure cancer, you wear it to show support for those suffering and raise awareness for a cure, the same goes for wearing black.
I wear a burgundy ribbon on everything. Hopefully no one looks at me and think I jumped on some band wagon. Or maybe cancer is simply a more popular topic.

It would be so cool if we could save our moral outrage for the people who commit sexual assault rather than women who wear a different coloured dress to everyone else.
