Looking every inch a screen siren in her ivory silk gown, which she’d previously worn in 2019, Kate stole the spotlight from cinema’s biggest names as she and Wills, 40, walked the red carpet at London’s Royal Festival Hall on February 19.

“Did you see that? Kate’s feeling flirty tonight!” exclaimed one eagle-eyed royal watcher on social media.
