George Clooney’s wife Amal’s ab-baring silver crop top is her most daring party look ever

International human rights barrister Amal Clooney, 48, is a source of major fashion inspiration as party season fast approaches.

Swapping her formal Ede & Ravenscroft legal robes for festive eveningwear, Amal showed off her playful sartorial prowess at a Charlotte Tilbury store launch in Covent Garden back in December 2015. Despite the unearthed photos dating back over a decade, Amal’s vintage silver Lanvin co-ord remains just as striking today.

High-waisted culottes and the cropped, collared top emphasised her waist, while silver pointed-toe heels elongated her legs. The structured style kept the look timeless, with the colour adding a nod to the festive season.

To add a layer of warmth, Amal – who attended the event alongside her mother Baria Alamuddin – draped a cream fur coat over her sleeveless top, styling her long hair in bouncy curls to complete her look.

Amal Clooney’s festive fashion inspiration

More recently, Amal stepped out in one of her most memorable festive outfits in 2023, when she wore a custom Versace dress to the Fashion Awards at the Royal Albert Hall.

Leaving her husband George and two children Alexander and Ella behind, she made another appearance with her glamorous mother in a floor-length column gown encrusted in metallic sequins that created an ombré effect from a shimmering bodice with dotted silver details to a warm, molten bronze puddle hem.

Gianvito Rossi pointed-toe heels, a bronze box clutch and diamond floral earrings by Cartier were her chosen accessories for her modern festive glamour.

Amal’s thoughts on fashion creating stereotypes

Despite cultivating a loyal following of fashion fans, Amal has confessed that her “out of the box” fashion choices are her way of expressing herself, rather than following mainstream trends.

Rejecting the idea that your style has any indication of your professional credibility, she said in an interview with Vogue in 2018: “I hate the idea that you somehow, as a human being, have to be put in a box. There’s no reason why lawyers can’t be fun – or actresses can’t be serious.”
