Royal Family Fashion Faux Pas That Were Recorded on Camera

When Kate Wore a Green Dress

We know what you’re thinking: Duchess Kate’s dress looks modest, stylish, and stunning, right? Well, we agree—it’s a gorgeous piece. But while the dress would have been perfect for almost any event, it sparked controversy when she wore it to the 2018 BAFTA Awards

Why? Nearly every attendee chose black outfits to show solidarity with the #MeToo movement, making Kate’s green gown stand out in a way fans didn’t appreciate. Royals often aim to stay politically neutral, which might explain her choice, but it didn’t stop critics from noticing the black belt she paired with the dress. Could this have been a subtle nod to the cause? Regardless, the moment became a talking point in fashion and royal circles. After all, even the most polished looks can stir debate when they clash with the mood of the moment.
