Zara earrings worth Rs 2,000 sold out after Princess of Wales Kate Middleton wears them to BAFTAs

Kate Middleton, Princess of Wales was seen sporting a pair of earrings from the fast fashion brand Zara and now the race is on to own the same pair. She was seen on the red carpet with her husband Prince William, during the British Film and Television Awards 2023 which took place on Saturday night.

She wore a floor-length white gown from Alexander McQueen with a few changes from the first time she had worn it in 2019 – the floral detailing on the shoulder was replaced with a matching white tie-up. Kate further transformed the look with black opera gloves. She combined high street fashion in the form of the upcycled gown with a pair of golden metal earrings from Zara.

The royal is often spotted at events, sporting a number of affordable clothing options and accessories, making her extremely relatable to the masses. William on the other hand, stuck to a classic black-tie dress code in a velvet tuxedo.


The earrings are now sold out on the Zara website, where they were listed for Rs 1,890. Zara describes them as “Cascading Floral Earrings” that feature a floral design with rhinestone applique.

This is their first appearance at the awards in three years. According to a CNN report, Kate Middleton was one of many celebrities who wore white to honor Queen Elizabeth II, who passed away last year.

The Independent reported that the British royal’s use of the surprisingly affordable Zara earrings led to a huge spike in interest for the same after her BAFTA's appearance. After selling out on Zara UK, they appeared on eBay with a significant mark-up.

Prince William has been the president of BAFTA since his appointment in 2010. The prince and princess often visit the awards function that is touted as the Oscars of the UK. The couple last attended the awards ceremony in 2020.
