Amal Clooney, a name synonymous with elegance and style, graced the red carpet at the 81st International Venice Film Festival, making a rare appearance alongside her husband, George Clooney. She donned a breathtaking corseted Atelier Versace gown, its cascading train requiring the assistance of a dedicated gown-fluffer. This isn’t the first time Amal has turned to Donatella Versace for such a dramatic look. She previously stunned at the 2023 Fashion Awards in a dazzling glitterball Versace column adorned with cascading sunset-hued sequins. At the Albie Awards, she opted for an almost-bridal Versace gown, shimmering with diamantes. And who could forget her custom Versace dress in a vibrant lime hue, worn at the Los Angeles premiere of George’s latest directorial effort last September? Even her first public outing after welcoming twins in 2017 was marked by a stunning lilac Versace gown.
Amal, known for her impeccable taste and her hands-on approach to fashion, has expressed her enjoyment in styling herself for these high-profile events. She finds it a way to express her mood and personal style, and credits the talented team at Versace for their invaluable contributions. It’s no surprise that she would draw inspiration from the vibrant atmosphere of the Venice Film Festival, much like a Lady of the Lake adorned with shimmering ombré paillettes. The beauty of Amal’s style is in its effortless elegance and her ability to showcase her personality through fashion. As she continues to be a powerful force in the world of human rights, her red-carpet presence continues to captivate and inspire.
