Fashion Expert Says Kate's 7-Year-Old Gucci Gown Proves "Newness Need Not Equate to Excitement"

Kate often repeats her old evening gowns, occasionally reworking them to include different sleeves or new elements, like the one-shouldered white Alexander McQueen design she wore to both the 2019 and 2023 BAFTA ceremonies. But this time, the Princess of Wales kept her bespoke dual-toned gown intact—and it felt just as exciting as it did seven years ago.
