Amal Clooney has long defined the style agenda – and it now seems even royals are taking fashion cues from George Clooney's wife.
The 45-year-old human rights barrister, who became a household name when she wed the Ocean's Eleven star in 2014, rocked a fitted grey pencil dress by Dolce & Gabbana for a public speaking event back in 2015 – and now Queen Maxima of the Netherlands has been pictured wearing the very same look. The copycat outfit, which was pointed out by the popular blog Royal Fashion Police, proved the Italian fashion house never goes out of style.
At the time, Amal paired the smart grey tweed number with an eye-catching suede coat in a bold teal shade, ensuring her outwear took centre stage for a legal event at London's Frontline Club.
The timeless 'Grey Virgin Wool Turtleneck Dress', which retailed for $1,995, is no doubt a staple in Amal's wardrobe.

Queen Maxima brought the dress back into public consciousness this week when she stepped out to celebrate 30 years of parent support group Home-Start operating in the Netherlands.

She added leather gloves, pearl earrings and a wide-brimmed velvet hat with fabulous bow adornment.

Hollywood icon George, who raises six-year-old twins Ella and Alexander with Amal, has waxed lyrical about his wife's style in the past, branding her dress sense "amazing".

"She was teaching at Columbia, and she's still like, 'I want to wear that dress.' It's crazy. It has been sort of fascinating to watch because she has such great taste.
The Descendants actor also expressed his pride at seeing Amal wearing her traditional robes for court appearances.
"I'm always very proud of her when I see her speaking with her robe on. It's very impressive," he said.
Lebanese and British barrister Amal, whose work centres on international law and human rights matters, advocates for change on a global scale.
