Amal Clooney (née Alamuddin) is a Lebanese-British barrister specialising in human rights and international law who was thrust into the limelight when she married Hollywood heartthrob George Clooney. Ever since then, she has attracted the attention of fashion conscious women around the world with her chic and impeccable style.
Whether she’s hitting the red carpet in couture gowns, walking to court in fashionable work outfits or rocking a pair of jeans and T-shirt, Amal has risen to fashion icon status – and she is one of the most stylish women in the world.
From the yellow Stella McCartney dress to a lilac Atelier Versace floor length gown, Amal Clooney has wowed us with her style. These are some of the key pieces she relies on repeatedly.
TWEED SUITS Given her busy lifestyle, tweed suits occupy a large portion of her wardrobe. Some of her favourite pieces include a cropped blazer with a mid-length skirt in a light and feminine colour. From Gucci to Chanel, Amal’s tweed suits showcase her classic and chic professional style. She often completes this look with a pair of sleek heels, sunglasses and an oversized hand---bag.
PANTS AND SKIRTS Amal has spiced up traditional office wear by styling checked pants in various ways mostly with oversized coats and T-shirts or pairing them with matching tops. These trousers elevate any basic ensemble and are perfect for the office. Pencil skirts are also among her signature pieces. These skirts are easy to style and help accentuate one’s figure. Floral patterned pencil skirts are her trademark look and she pairs them with monochromatic tops or T-shirts.
HIGH-LOW DRESSES These are perfect to show off one’s stunning legs and figure. Amal’s signature style includes ‘high-low dresses’ in satin fabric with floral pat-terns. The red patterned dress and high-low floral versions she wore during her wedding weekend in Venice are perfect examples of how one can rock this style. Pairing them with a stunning pair of heels will further accentuate the outfit.
ONE SHOULDER Amal is often spotted wearing asymmetrical dresses that complement her gorgeous figure. Known for her jaw-dropping red carpet looks, Amal fa-vours one-shoulder dresses with a high slit or those in a patterned fabric. However, when she opts for a more subtle evening look, Amal wows in a simple but stylish jumpsuit. You too can rock a jumpsuit or dress by complementing the look with a simple and chic clutch, heels and stunning earrings.
ADDING COLOUR Amal Clooney isn’t afraid of colour and has made bold fashion statements with her monochromatic outfits. You too can make such statements and turn heads wherever you go by bringing a little colour into your wardrobe.
SHEATH DRESSES These are also known as ‘pencil dresses’ – and they’re also part of Amal’s signature styles. They are perfect for any occasion, and help keep things simple and stylish.
