Amal Clooney may not give too much thought to her fashion while she's working on a case – the human rights barrister famously explained she was wearing Ede & Ravenscroft on her way into court in Strasbourg in 2015 – but she has developed a strong eye for style when she's off-duty.
One year after marrying Hollywood actor George Clooney, Amal was pictured enjoying a day out with her father Ramzi Alamuddin in the East Village.
Clutching onto her father's hand, she wore an ethereal white mini dress with a sheer lace overlay and a drop waist – a style that wouldn't look out of place in the storefronts in the summer of 2026.

Amal Clooney's wedding dress style
© PIERRE TEYSSOTOne year earlier, Amal had planned one of the most star-studded weddings that stretched over four days of celebrations in Venice, Italy. The bride, who met the Jay Kelly actor through a mutual friend at a dinner party at George's house, wore a breathtaking custom ivory French lace Oscar de la Renta bridal gown.
Speaking to Vogue about her wedding, she said: "George and I wanted a wedding that was romantic and elegant, and I can't imagine anyone more able than Oscar to capture this mood in a dress."
Amal's guide to nailing a mini dress in your 40s

Earlier this year, the 48-year-old enjoyed a glamorous date night with her husband, George Clooney, at the 51st Chaplin Award Gala in New York City.
Amal made a statement in a block-colour mini dress with an off-the-shoulder neckline from Balenciaga. Stylist Leanne Jones, who trained at the London College of Style, explained to HELLO! how Amal seamlessly switched up her style.
"This is a departure from her usual full-length gown aesthetic; it really works for her - and it’s a great reminder that there is absolutely no harm in switching up your style at any age or stage of life. From a styling perspective, the colour is absolutely on point as a feature colour for SS26 direction," Leanne said at the time.
For those looking to emulate her style, she offered her top tips for styling an uber-short mini dress in your 40s:
- The key is choosing the right shape for you. Amal’s dress is fitted at the skirt, but if that feels too restrictive, an A-line or softer puffball silhouette can offer more movement while still highlighting the legs.
- Prints and textures can also help soften cling and draw the eye in a different way.
- Heels play an important role in elongating the leg and balancing proportions.amal
