Amal Clooney is a barrister by day and a party girl by night. The human rights litigator’s renown as a serious professional notwithstanding, she’s also well-known among party-goers as a party procrastinator at nighttime. Unable to resist the allure of sequins, jewelry, and gowns, she habitually changes her MaxMara plains into flashy evening attire.
In 2015, Amal wore a gold chainmail draped minidress to George Clooney‘s Casamigos tequila launch at Ushuaïa in Ibiza. This was several years before metallic liquid trends reemerged thanks to Y2K-leaning brands such as Poster Girl and Fannie Schiavoni. Clooney had been doing cowl necklines and slinky cuts way before the Blumarine revival sparked the millennium bug. Two years later, at another Casamigos promo event, Amal wore a strapless multi-coloured sequin dress, huge tinted sunglasses and J Lo-worthy gold hoops. When it comes to occasionwear, she does not do things by halves.
Of course, Amal has attended red-carpet events without tequila—she’s played the supportive wife to George Clooney at many Hollywood events, after all. But for big-deal, big-time events surrounded by the upper echelons of Hollywood, Clooney looks to the masters of sparkly eveningwear. Her favorites include Giambattista Valli, Ralph & Russo, and Sergio Hudson.
But she’s also taken her eye on rising artistic talent. For her hosting gig at the 2018 Met Gala, she brought her undoubted platform to demonstrate to the world what the city of London has to offer in terms of young artists and bondage fans. She commissioned a few paillette-studded, feather-laden looks by a local designer called 16Arlington.
In July 2018, Amal Clooney wore a shimmering minidress to dinner at Lake Como. The dress was one of her most daring outfits to date and proved that glittery dresses are still appropriate for evening events whatever your age. Amal’s secret to being stylish and dazzling? Her confident smile, which hasn’t changed since she first emerged as the mysterious love interest of George Clooney in the early 2010s. Amal always works hard and plays harder – with her clothing at least!
