Amal Clooney knows exactly what works for her—the human rights lawyer has long established a classic, feminine sartorial rhythm. Expect glittering and ultra glamorous gowns via Balmain, Versace, and vintage Galliano for red carpets with husband George, floaty and floral sets for summering in Lake Como, an always impeccable blowout. Stepping out for Omega House’s 2026 Milano Cortina Olympics opening night, Clooney called upon her favorite silhouette, by far.
Arriving with George on her arm on Saturday evening, recent birthday girl Amal wore a ruched black gown with a sweetheart neckline and fishtail skirt that featured a gathered central slit and tiers of soft, sheer, floral-like ruffles, flowing into a short train. For accessories, Amal kept it simple: a smooth black resin clutch bag with gold detailing, long diamond and gold drop earrings, one gold bangle on her wrist, and pointed black pumps. George, for his part, coordinated in a sleek dark navy suit and crisp white shirt, sans tie.
Glam was also her tried and true formula: Amal wore her caramel highlighted brunette hair in a curled, voluminous blowout and bronzed makeup.
Amal Clooney’s commitment to this particular sweeping dress silhouette is impressive. In her first public appearance of the year at the 2026 Golden Globes (and her first time at the awards ceremony in a decade), she opted for a form-fitting, bright red remake of a 1957 Balmain gown with a structured sweetheart neckline. With a vast vintage collection of Dior, Saint Laurent, and Versace, the dramatic but refined shapes abound, and Clooney always wears them with elegant ease.
The Clooneys touched down in the buzzy city of Milan a day previous, just ahead of the opening ceremony. Clooney embraced the Italiana by wearing Versace: a black boatneck, mini skirt, and wool coat paired with statement leopard print boots and a Medusa 95 tote.
In a world of chaotic trend cycles, Amal Clooney has found her fashion formula and sticks with it.
