How to dress like Amal Clooney for party season

Who says yellow is just for summer? Golden hues make a statement during the cooler months, and just so happen to be Amal's go-to tone. 

Back in 2022, George and Amal were spotted leaving their hotel ahead of the afterparty at 180 Strand for the Trouble in Paradise London premiere. The lawyer dazzled in a long-sleeved mini dress, complete with a golden sequinned finish and a regal high neck. She paired the party-ready piece with some contrasting, silver point-toe heels and a matching gold evening clutch bag.

Butter yellow has remained one of 2024's hottest trends - and by the looks of it, it's not going anywhere anytime soon. 

London and Milan Fashion Week SS25 saw brands such as Iceberg, Twinset, Toga, Labrum, Edeline Lee and Tolu Coker championed yellow in their recent collections - making the honied hue a surefire hit for months to come. 

Platformed in the shimmering work of Paco Rabanne and Versace, chainmail has become a timeless palette for all to enjoy. 

It also happens to be housed in Amal's party wardrobe - and for good reason. Beloved by both high fashion and the high street, the metallic, heavy-weight design has been popular since the space-age Sixties. Designers like Mr Rabanne incorporated chainmail into his futuristic garments, blending armour-like aesthetics with modern style. As for Amal, she wore her chainmail piece during a luxurious Ibiza break back in 2015.

Today, the material symbolises bold, statement fashion - making it ideal for those wanting to command attention under the disco ball. 

Feathers are opulence personified, making the dramatic texture a must-have for winter. 

In 2023, Amal and George graced The Beverley Hills Hotel in LA to enjoy dinner at the Polo Bar. The A-lister hub welcomed the couple through its doors, with the stylish lawyer sporting a pale pink feathered mini dress coolly layered under a black, oversized blazer with a sateen finish.

Amal was bang on trend for AW24 style with her befeathered number. Brands such as 16Arlington, Erdem, Burberry, Tamara Ralph and Elie Saab have all incorporated operatic plumes into their eveningwear collections, spanning extravagant gala attire to party pieces.

George and Amal attended the DVF Awards 2023 during the 80th Venice International Film Festival last year, with the latter turning out an ethereal look that delighted Y2K dressers.

Amal wore an archival, bridal-inspired Christian Dior by John Galliano dress, complete with a blush pink hue, a Noughties silhouette, a dropped waistband, spaghetti straps and a tulle overskirt. 

Recreated recently by the likes of Bella Hadid, the Y2K aesthetic is perfect for Gen Z party girls wanting to edge out their evening wardrobes. For those with a penchant for high end design, look to vintage Valentino, Erdem, Bora Aksu, Yuhan Wang for inspiration.

XL sequins have that je ne sais quoi that regular renditions seem to lack. After all, go big or go home, right?

This is certainly the belief of Amal, in addition to designers like Nensi Dojaka, Feben and Huishan Zhang, who can't stay away from the iridescent design. 

Sequins in whatever form, be it dress, top or skirt, will forever exude party glamour - making the material a firm favourite for New Year's and Christmas. 

Fringing never fails to bring a sense of movement to the red carpet. Harking back the the Roaring Twenties, Amal's gold-tinted flapper gown by Atelier Versace transported those in attendance at the Clooney Foundation For Justice Inaugural Albie Awards into world of Jay Gatsby. 

The beaded gown featured dazzling strands of golden and crystal embellishments and a floor-skimming silhouette. Black tie inspo sorted.

Ah - the 90s slip dress. Championed by Kate Moss, Gwyneth Paltrow and Amal Clooney. 

You can truly never go wrong with the iconic silhouette. Slinky yet sophisticated, the garment is the perfect fusion of sexy and chic - hence why it belongs in Amal's occasionwear collection. 

She wore a beautiful, pale turquoise option to the world premiere of Ticket to Paradise at Odeon Luxe in Leicester Square back in 2022. Her chosen number featured delicate chervon detailing, spaghetti straps and a floor-length cut.
