Who embodies female empowerment more than Amal Clooney? The highly successful human rights lawyer, activist and author should add style icon to her amazing list of accolades. Her well polished, sophisticated style is perfect for her day job(s), yet the quirky flare she adds to outfits perfectly suit her off-time life as wife of George Clooney and Hollywood socialite. And although she’s married to one of the most swooned-over men in the entertainment industry, her career and fashion sense have long been worthy topics of viral conversation. In honor of Women’s Equality Day, we are highlighting our favorite Amal Clooney fashion moments to discover essential takeaways for our own wardrobes. Take notes and enjoy our gallery of some of our absolute favorite Amal Clooney fashion moments!
OPT FOR CLASSIC SILHOUETTES
A classic silhouette – like a knee-length pencil skirt and Gucci collared blouse – will never go out of style. But to keep things fresh, opt for unexpected color combinations and fun twists (how cute is this snake skin collar) to make an old pairing feel brand new. It’s all in the details, and Amal Clooney is so good at making them count. As a businesswoman by day and well-known Hollywood wife by night, she’s discovered the perfect balance between fashion-forward and individuality.
BE DARING WITH ACCESSORY CHOICES
Even a classic post-Labor Day all white ensemble can go from chic to subtly unique with the right accessories. Let’s take this stunning blouse/colette ensemble worn for a romantic night out with the hubby: while the perfect pair of pumps and a subdued clutch would have done the trick, Amal Clooney isn’t just going to play it safe. These Versace heels she opted for instead are solid proof. When it comes to fashion, slightly breaking the rules is not only okay, but highly encouraged.
SHOW JUST THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF SKIN
Words to live by: if you’ve got it, flaunt it! But choose what you flaunt wisely. Take this gorgeous Giambattista Valli Haute Couture dress Amal is spotted wearing in Venice. The hem line shows a lot of leg and sheer lace details on top allow for a subtle peek of skin. But the asymmetrical hemline that extends a few inches in the back paired with long sleeves and a tight neckline create the perfect balance. Another day, another slay for Amal!
PLAY WITH COLOR AND TEXTURE
Monochromatic pairings are highly addictive and effortless. But Amal Clooney is living proof of how thrilling and simply stunning a burst of color can be. Amal took her style to eye-catching levels in this insanely stunning dress. The clean structure, preppy pleats and boxy top paired with this wild pattern color combo proves to us that she isn’t afraid to play with her personal style.
