If "Minidress" Isn't Amal Clooney's Middle Name, Someone Should Fix That on Her Birth Certificate

Aug 30 2018 - 6:11am

Amal Clooney can rock the hell out of a pantsuit [1], and her blazer and skirt coordinates [2] are always sophisticated, but Amal's dress collection [3] is glamorous like you wouldn't believe. Or maybe your eyes have been glued to her wardrobe [4] since day one, in which case, we don't blame you.

When she steps out for daytime events, Amal usually opts for tailored Gucci pieces or ones she's thrifted [5] that fall to the knee. But come nighttime soirées, you'll find the fashion-conscious human rights lawyer and activist [6] in swingy little numbers that show off a lot of leg.

We combed through her best outfits [7] and selected the easiest ones to re-create so that you can update the dress section in your closet like Amal Clooney would. Things are about to get fancy up in here.
