Amal Clooney always makes a splash on the red carpet, but her after-party looks might just top them. The human rights barrister and wife of the Jay Kelly actor, George Clooney , reminded us of that very fact in 2022 as she stepped out in London.
Often, the red carpet looks for a movie premiere or awards ceremony takes all the limelight, but Amal proved the power of a great party dress when she was seen leaving her hotel ahead of the afterparty at 180 Strand for the Trouble in Paradise London premiere on 7 September 2022.
Amal's disco diva moment

What did Amal wear to the Trouble in Paradise premiere?

Amal's afterparty look steals the show

It seems the acid yellow number from 2022 set her afterparty fashion agenda as she has continued to rock a statement mini dress to events of this nature ever since, including the Oscar de la Renta number she chose for the Jay Kelly New York premiere party in September 2025.
She chose a modern take on Elizabeth Hurley's iconic Versace safety pin dress in the form of a glitzy green chainmail mini dress.

"Her later shift into green for the after-party was equally strategic," she added. "Green has become the unofficial language of modern glamour after hours; fresher, more unexpected than black, and less overtly seductive than red. In the context of awards season, green reads as fashion-forward yet grounded, which is why it continues to dominate post-ceremony moments."
