Amal Clooney is the ultimate style icon, and it seems she got her fashionable genes from her mother. In 2023, the wife of George Clooney and her mother, 78-year-old journalist Baria Alamuddin, stepped out to attend a special screening of The Boys In The Boat at The Curzon Mayfair in London.
It isn't every day that Amal's mother joins her at star-studded evening events, but on this occasion, Baria pulled out all the stops. The matriarch, who is married to Amal's father, Ramzi Alamuddin, opted for a black top covered in feathers, paired with black trousers and black pointed-toe heels.

Meanwhile, human rights barrister Amal also got the velvet memo, opting for cigarette trousers and a corset top. It's not the only time that Amal's mother has taken an event by storm with her sartorial prowess. Keep scrolling to see our top picks…

Joining her daughter and Jay Kelly star George Clooney at the Clooney Foundation For Justice's The Albies at the New York Public Library in 2024, Baria was a vision in scarlet. She paired a silky cape detail blouse with cigarette trousers and mixed her metallics, opting for rhinestone-adorned gold heels and a silver clutch.

A year before, Baria joined Amal at The Fashion Awards in London. She could have easily been a movie star herself, stepping out in a billowing black gown with sheer lace shoulders to coordinate with her platform heels and a sparkly clutch.

Baria was the best-dressed plus one at The Prince's Trust Awards 2022 at Theatre Royal Drury Lane. She chose an all-white look featuring another feathered top and boots to match.

Colour blocking is perhaps Baria's greatest style hack. She proved the power of an all-green outfit in 2019 while attending the Catch 22 UK premiere with George and Amal. Her diamond and emerald jewels elevated the look to one fit for royalty.
Meanwhile, her daughter opted for one of her more unusual gowns to date, rocking a Ralph & Russo Autumn-Winter 2017/18 collection number featuring feathered and bejewelled scallop detailing to look like scales.
