Realistically, we know that there are some A-listers who wouldn't be seen dead in the same outfit twice - especially during the same event in the same city, over consecutive years.

Amal Clooney, however, is not one of those.

The human rights lawyer, activist and wife of Hollywood heavyweight George Clooney was photographed at this year's Venice Film Festival in the same stunning dress she wore in 2023, but switching up her accessories and her hairstyle - and you probably missed it.

On the Instagram page of Raquel Diniz - the fashion brand founded by the eponymous designer - a series of photographs were shared from a luxurious Aston Martin event during this year's 10-day event. 

Amal posed with Raquel at the event in a stunning emerald green chiffon midi dress with ethereal ruffles, a daring cowl neckline and a feminine thigh-high split.

What you may not have noticed is that Amal actually wore the exact piece - designed by Peter Dundas - at the Film Festival in 2023.

Gilded gold strappy sandals by Aquazzura, gold drop earrings, and a dazzling deep bronze clutch bag finished off her glamorous look.

For 2024, she swapped out her gold drop earrings for a diamond pair with a similar silhouette and opted for a green pearl micro clutch bag.

Making her accessories do all the talking this year, she traded her bouncy curl look from 2023, in favour of her new caramel locks styled sleek and straight with a slight flick.

Not only did Amal prove the power of a timeless wardrobe, but she proved that even those with the capacity to buy a new outfit for every occasion, often favour pieces they already own
