Just one night before the 2018 Met Gala [1], which Amal Clooney is set to host [2], the human rights activist and lawyer stepped out with her husband George, who was celebrating his 57th birthday [3]. The pair hit up Locanda Verde in Tribeca for dinner, and Amal wore a piece we all seem to have forgotten about: the romper. Who needs a little black dress?
Her leggy look was played up with gold accents, from a belt that cinched her at the waist to a box clutch and chandelier Narcisa Pheres earrings, and Amal kept her footwear simple, opting for neutral, strappy stilettos.
While you might have long retired a silky, slinky design like this one, Amal should give you every reason to refresh your wardrobe with a new one [4]. We don't have to tell you how functional the silhouette is, especially when you're walking tall and prefer a trusty hemline that you know will stay put. Ahead, get another glimpse, then shop some similar numbers we found.
