Amal Clooney Just Brought Back the Fancy Romper . . . Say Whaaaat?!

Just one night before the 2018 Met Gala, which Amal Clooney is set to host, the human rights activist and lawyer stepped out with her husband George, who was celebrating his 57th birthday. 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. 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.
