Kate Middleton looked gorgeous in a layered pink and maroon Gucci gown that she had previously worn to a gala in 2019. She wore glittering diamond earrings, and her hair was styled in long and loose waves that added simplicity yet elegance. William wore a maroon tuxedo jacket. The velvet jacket had black lapels.
