On summer jaunts around Europe, Amal Clooney typically favours swinging party dresses in luxurious fabrics. But come autumn – with its back-to-work mood – the barrister’s wardrobe is all about sleek essentials. Last night, at the 78th United Nations General Assembly, Clooney showcased a business-chic look perfectly attuned to the new season.
For the UN conference, where she met with UN secretary-general António Guterres and human rights activist Nadia Murad, Amal chose a teal sleeveless midi shift dress, a cream trench coat and python-print court heels. She completed her ensemble with an oversized black leather tote bag and subtle gold jewellery. As the wife of a movie star, Amal makes frequent cameos on the red carpet and has become well-known for her love of vintage couture, but when in work mode, her wardrobe leans sleek, polished and timeless.
The Clooneys are celebrating their ninth wedding anniversary today, so after this characteristically executive chic look from Amal, perhaps we can expect a glimpse of something a little glitzier (she’s fond of a disco dress) as they mark the occasion.
