The royal couple showed a rare public display of affection earlier in the night, briefly holding hands as they entered MGM Music Hall for the event – which has been described as William’s “Super Bowl moment”.
Such displays are very unusual for the couple. They usually hold back a bit when it comes to public engagements – like at the photo call for the environmental awards.
But they later shared an intimate moment as they sat in the venue and William placed his hand on his wife’s back as they leaned in to speak softly.
Kate, 40, certainly pulled out all the stops on Friday – she took a break from her normally reserved sense of style to steal the limelight with a striking green number.

In keeping with the theme of the evening, the princess opted for a hired design from a brand called Solace London, which the royal obtained from online designer hire platform HURR – which costs between £74 and £194 to hire the dress.
Though Kate’s borrowed garment was far cheaper than the high-fashion pieces she typically wears, she added plenty of sparkle to her look in the form of a stunning diamond and emerald choker that once belonged to her late mother-law Princess Diana.
The dazzling Art Deco choker – believed to be worth more than £12million – was given to Diana by the Queen, who herself inherited it from her grandmother Queen Mary.

Diana wore the choker on a number of occasions and even paired it with a green off the shoulder dress, just like Kate did when she attended a glamorous event in London in 1993.
Perhaps most famously, however, the choker necklace was worn on Diana’s head during her and Prince Charles’ 1985 tour of Australia.
At the time, images emerged of the then Prince and Princess of Wales dancing at a gala in Melbourne – at which Diana wore the expensive jewel around her forehead like a headband.
It was later revealed that the fashion-forward moment happened purely by accident, after the princess left the necklace hanging upside down while getting dressed – just to like the style so much, she decided to keep it that way for the rest of the evening .
Kate added some sparkle to the look with a pair of matching £9,220 Asprey diamond and emerald earrings, which she is said to have recycled from her own collection, in keeping with the sustainable event’s theme.
Similarly, the princess turned to her own closet when it came to her shoes – a pair of dazzling Gianvito Rossi heels.

After encouraging guests at the Earthshot Gala to wear vintage, repurposed or second-hand clothing to fit the event’s sustainable theme, Kate went with the designer shoes she’s worn on a number of occasions throughout the year. past – including at a reception in the Bahamas during the Welshman’s Caribbean tour in March this year.
She had her long brunette tresses styled in her signature loose waves, but pulled her hair back behind her ears to really let the off-the-shoulder design and her dazzling jewels shine.
Friday’s event marks the second time Kate has chosen to wear jewelry that belongs to Diana; When she and William arrived in the United States on Wednesday, the princess wore a set of diamond and sapphire earrings that her late mother-in-law once owned.

Meanwhile, William put on an elegant display in a black tuxedo, keeping things classy with a navy velvet jacket and black bow tie, while also sporting an Omega watch.
