Whenever Amal Clooney takes to the red carpet, she always steals the show. Billowing designer gown and tumbling brunette locks are a guarantee with George Clooney's wife, but it seems her off-duty look is just as elegant. On Sunday, the owner of Les Merveilles de Babellou, a vintage clothing boutique in the northern suburb of Paris, took to Instagram to share a photo revealing that the human rights barrister, 47, had paid them a visit. "We had the immense honor of welcoming Amal Clooney once again in our boutique," the proud host penned. "A loyal client for many years, her elegance and refined eye always make our vintage selection shine brighter. Thank you for your continued trust, Amal."

The photo in question saw the star rocking the ultimate autumn combo. Amal wore a tan trench coat featuring buckled wrist cuffs, buttons forming a double-breasted formation across the front, and handy pockets. Underneath, the wife of the Ocean's Eleven actor, 64, wore a black sweater with a high neck and what looked like a neutral blazer.

She also wore slim-fit black bottoms and carried a black studded handbag. The star of the show was her accessories – and her gorgeous hair. Amal donned a large pair of sunglasses (the ultimate incognito celebrity essential) and wore oversized gold double hoop earrings. As for her hair, the mother-of-two opted for loose waves with a side part, the lengths tumbling over one shoulder to highlight the caramel-hued highlights. Divine!

"Amal looks SO chic here! I love the fact that she has condensed a variety of timeless wardrobe staples into one sleek outfit," HELLO!'s Fashion and Beauty News Editor, Laura Sutcliffe, tells us. "You have the toffee-toned trench coat, the sleek black rollneck, the gold earrings, and the movie star shades. Her caramel-toned hair cascading over the collar is giving classy mob wife vibes, and I'm so here for it; it's such a classic seasonal look." Prior to stepping out in Paris, Amal enjoyed a summer of fabulous fashion moments – but these are her best…
