If "Minidress" Isn't Amal Clooney's Middle Name, Someone Should Fix That on Her Birth Certificate
Amal Clooney can rock the hell out of a pantsuit, and her blazer and skirt coordinates are always sophisticated, but Amal's dress collection is glamorous like you wouldn't believe. Or maybe your eyes have been glued to her wardrobe 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 that fall to the knee. But come nighttime soirées, you'll find the fashion-conscious human rights lawyer and activist in swingy little numbers that show off a lot of leg.
We combed through her best outfits 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.
