Amal Clooney Season is upon us. Every summer like clockwork, the human rights lawyer and her actor husband, George Clooney, decamp to Lake Como for the summer, La Dolce Vita style. Clooney’s Italian vacation style is the purest embodiment of her fashion: colorful, feminine, and impossibly glamorous.
Still, no matter where she is in the world, Clooney is never anything but put together. While the couple and their children live in Los Angeles, lately she’s been spending more time in New York as George leads Good Night, and Good Luck on Broadway. But whether she’s heading to dinner in a South of France villa or supporting her husband backstage, Clooney stays consistent, rocking jaw-dropping vintage, statement earrings, and Old Hollywood waves.
In Elements of Style, we’re distilling a celebrity’s fashion sense into its most basic components. Here, we break down the five key pieces in Amal Clooney’s closet.
Prize Vintage Dresses
Over the last several years, Clooney has amassed a closet full of pristine archival pieces from the naughties. While she has a clear preference for John Galliano’s tenure at Christian Dior (who doesn’t?), she also loves a vintage Versace moment. She often sources her enviable pieces from Tab Vintage in Los Angeles.
What: John Galliano, Christian Dior, Versace, Jean-Louis Scherrer, Yves Saint Laurent
Where: Dinner in Lake Como, the Cannes Film Festival, the DVF Awards
Wear it with: Wedge heels, oversized sunglasses, ankle boots, matching coats
A Wide-Brimmed Hat
Nothing is more crucial in a vacation wardrobe than sun protection! Clooney is partial to the wide-brimmed sunhat. She most often wears a straw chapeau, but she’s also rocked a black one. We love that she incorporated the headwear into her wedding festivities, wearing a white Stella McCartney to her civil ceremony.
What: Stella McCartney, Zimmermann
Where: Traipsing around the Amalfi Coast, Venetian docks, her own civil wedding ceremony
Wear it with: Missoni shorts, a one-shoulder dress, canary yellow Giambattista Valli haute couture
Oversized Sunglasses
Clooney’s sense of mystique lends heavily to people’s fascination with her. And what’s more mysterious than a pair of enormous, face-obscuring sunglasses? The barrister has plenty of sunnies in her collection, but she’s most liable to be seen in square frames that completely shroud her eyes and eyebrows.
