George Clooney is one of the world's most famous actors, with a suave wardrobe envied by millions. Still, his gorgeous wife Amal is a fashion force to be reckoned with, lighting up the red carpet in a plethora of resplendent dresses. 

Last week, the talented professional, who is a human rights barrister first and foremost, jetted to Bangkok to attend the Cartier Women's Initiative event.

The muted lilac shade is a huge fashion trend for 2026, with many celebrities and even royalty donning the smoky pastel tone. The cool undertones of the shade flatter all skin tones and always pack a punch, particularly when it comes to event dressing.

Amal's new 'do 

Amal's hairdresser, Dimitris Giannetos, shared a carousel of images from the event and broke down the new cut he created for the star to go alongside her vibrant ensemble. "Amal Clooney in Thailand," he penned. Calling her coiffed mane the "Bell Bottom haircut", he said: "Amal attended the Cartier event wearing a lilac @prada dress with Cartier jewelry so I wanted to complete the look on her hair with something timeless, chic, but at the same time make it bold! Since her dress is geometrical, I wanted her hair to have a '70s flair! I gave her the 'bell bottom haircut' before I styled it in a soft, bouncy blowout!"
