Did Duchess Kate join the black-dress movement at BAFTAs? Sort of ...

She didn't wear all black, but it looked that way under certain light.

Duchess Kate donned a dark green Jenny Packham gown with a black ribbon at the British Academy Film Awards on Sunday. So it seemed that the royal was sort of dressed in solidarity with British stars who announced they'd wear black for their own version of the Time's Up movement in London. Kate's outfit, and Prince William's traditional tux, seemed safe choices for the royals, who avoid political statements.
Among the attendees wearing black Sunday: Angelina Jolie, Jennifer Lawrence, Saoirse Ronan, Margot Robbie, Emma Roberts and Gugu Mbatha-Raw.
Ahead of the BAFTAs, stars including Kate Winslet, Emma Watson and Naomie Harris published a letter in The Observer that called for an end to sexual misconduct, because 2018 should be "the year that time was up on sexual harassment and abuse." They're among the actresses supporting a fund toward that effort. (Watson has pledged 1 million pounds, according to the GoFundMe website.) Much like stars at Hollywood's Golden Globes did last month, British A-listers chose to wear black at the Sunday awards show to spread awareness of their movement.
