  Looking every inch the film star alongside her husband Prince William, Kate teamed her billowing chiffon gown - from the label behind her 2011 wedding dress - with a pair of shimmering £525 Jimmy Choo glitter heels.
  In a fitting tribute to Princess Diana, the duchess is believed to have worn the same South Sea Pearl accessories debuted by William's mother to a concert at the Royal Albert Hall in 1991. 
  And adding an extra dose of glitz to her glamorous cinched-waist ensemble, Kate topped off her look with the Queen's Quatrefoil bracelet, which once belonged to the monarch's mother. 
  Holding a small white clutch, the mother-of-three sported glamorous makeup with a pink lipstick and a dark smokey eye as she beamed for the cameras at the 72nd annual EE British Academy Film Awards at London's Royal Albert Hall on Sunday.

  Picture perfect! The Duchess stole the show when arriving at London 's Royal Albert Hall on Sunday evening. Holding a small white clutch, the mother-of-three sported glamorous makeup with a pink lipstick and a dark smokey eye  
  The British blockbuster, which swept the board with seven gongs, is set in early 18th century England, and tells the story of a frail Queen Anne, who occupies the throne and her close friend, Lady Sarah, who governs the country in her stead, until a new servant, Abigail, (Emma Stone) arrives and her charm endears her to Sarah.
  Miss Colman, who is currently filming for her role as the current Queen Elizabeth II in The Crown, fought back tears as she accepted her Bafta last night.
  The 45-year-old thanked her co-stars, and said: ‘Thanks so much, it’s really big. I do know what to say, I’ve actually written something down. To my fellow nominees, to be in the same company as you is an extraordinary honour.
