Aside from Amal Clooney's natural ability to put together an outfit [1], she's got another thing going for her: a vintage wardrobe [2]. Because somehow — when the human rights activist and lawyer is not working to better our world and defend high-profile clients — she finds time to thrift shop [3]. Sure, she's got some go-to contemporary labels, including Altuzarra, Giambattista Valli, and Gucci, but Amal's also got an eye for one-of-a-kind pieces.
She secures a handful of them from William Vintage and styles them with seasonal It bags, power pumps [4], and dark sunglasses. If we had to guess, we'd say Amal's goal isn't to mix high and low but to mix the new with the old. The outcome is a signature look that lands Amal on best dressed lists but also serves up inspiration for business women [5] on the go. Scroll to find Amal's most memorable vintage ensembles yet.
Amal's Dior dress [7] is from the fashion house's Fall 1972 collection and her Haute Couture Balmain coat is from 1965.
