Amal Clooney is at the height of her fashion powers in the summer: Pucci sets, vintage Versace minidresses, gala-ready Galliano gowns. Fringe, prints, colour upon colour: Clooney keeps things fun without compromising on polish. And at this year’s Venice Film Festival, the lawyer and humanitarian is making sure she gets the most out of her summer wardrobe.
At the opening ceremony, where her husband George Clooney was receiving the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement, the couple kept things classic, both opting for black. Amal chose a body-contouring and razor pleated black Tom Ford by Haider Ackermann gown to walk the red carpet for the premiere of Danny Boyle’s . So far, so chic.
On the second evening of the festival, Amal amped things up: spotted heading into a party, she wore an aqua minidress by , featuring heart motifs, sequins and lurex fringes. She accessorised with shimmering diamond chandelier-style earrings and a silver clutch bag. Glam was kept signature, her skin radiant, blush warm, and eyes bronzed, with her caramel highlighted hair swept in brushed out curls over her shoulder.
On Friday (4 September), the Clooneys continued to rule the Venice canals, sailing toward ‘The Future Of… Creativity’ event at Scuola Grande della Misericordia, where speakers including George, Maggie Gyllenhaal and Alexandre Desplat discussed “authorship, originality, and the protection of human creativity.” (It’s a topic George is passionate about, having mentioned the threat of artificial intelligence on the creative industries in his speech when receiving his award.)
Amal wore an artful design by Stella McCartney: a raspberry spot-printed chiffon dress with a softly ruched silhouette and fluid column shape. She wore cream mules and accessorised with brown oversized oval sunglasses, gold drop earrings and a metallic accented cream bag with a silver link chain handle.
Of course, there’s over a week left of Venice, which means plenty more time for Amal Clooney to keep turning out fun looks on the lido.
