When an important meeting pops up on our calendar, we make a mental note to play it safe that day. We'll skip outfits that are too trendy or "loud" for something classic and neutral, aka a tip we've pretty much followed for majority of our career. But Amal Clooney knows this fashion rule [1] is ready to be retired and replaced with the opposite. When she met with French Foreign Affairs minister Jean-Marc Ayraul at the UN on Monday, she skipped a typical black or navy suit for something ruffled and red from Max Mara, showing off her personal style while still keeping it professional.

Now, we're rethinking everything we thought we knew about meeting attire, and it's all thanks to Amal. Check out her look in full ahead, then shop what you need to re-create it yourself.
