Getting ready for a big event sometimes leaves us in a panic. The dress needs to be stunning, the heels statement-making, and the jewels the perfect complement to our overall ensemble. Trying hard to style a standout look, it's easy to forget the major rule our fashion icon, Amal Clooney, always follows on the red carpet [1]: keep it simple, silly.

Because while George's better half enjoys going glam [2] — like she did at the Our Brand Is Crisis premiere [3], in a shimmery rose colored Roland Mouret dress — she typically lets a single item steal the spotlight. Rather than go all out with accessories, she opts for pieces that won't overpower her perfectly tailored looks, like pointed metallic pumps, oversize studs, and a patterned clutch. While that may sound like the bare minimum in terms of add-ons, it's far from basic and continues to result in the classic outfits [4] that always manage to catch our eye.

Here, see Amal's latest red carpet look, and remember this style lesson the next time you're prepping for a party [5].

Amal kept things classic, pairing her sparkly rose-colored dress with simple metallic pumps, a snakeskin clutch, and jeweled studs.

It's also worth noting that the other trick to steal from Amal is that all of her looks are perfect tailored! Each dress she wears fits her like a glove!

These jeweled studs are statement-making without being overpowering, paring perfectly with Amal's stunning ensemble.
