Whenever Amal Clooney steps out to attend a glitzy event, her red carpet looks never fail to disappoint.
The human rights barrister, 47, who has been married to George Clooney for more than ten years, has one particular hack when it comes to footwear that always makes her look extra glamorous and statuesque when on a date night with her Oscar-winning husband.
Most recently, the lawyer, who shares eight-year-old twins, Alexander and Ella, with George, attended the King's Trust awards at the star-studded event in London.

According to fashion experts, it's the clear heels which is Amal's secret "cheat code" to looking even more sensational.
Why Amal Clooney's footwear is her 'cheat code'
Cynthia Kennedy, a personal stylist with over 20 years' experience, told HELLO! why the clear-heeled look, beloved not only by Amal but by supermodels like Kendall Jenner, for example, is so popular.
"Clear or barely-there heels are like the quiet MVP of red carpet shoes. They don't scream for attention – and that's exactly why they work."

"That's why stylists love them. When the focus needs to stay on a gown or statement outfit – or when someone just wants to look extra statuesque – a barely-there heel lets everything else shine while quietly doing the heavy lifting.

If clear heels aren't your thing, there are other ways of making your legs look elongated.
"To create this look, opt for shoes in one of the following options: clear color with an ultra-thin heel, or a neutral shade, the same color as your outfit (tone-on-tone) or even strappy leather heels in a neutral color that show a lot of your well-pedicured foot. Another key is to choose shoes that don't draw a lot of attention with a pattern."

Cynthia summed it up: "Bottom line? Clear heels are a cheat code: elongating, versatile, and totally camera-friendly.
"No wonder celebs keep reaching for them – they get the job done without stealing the spotlight."
