Amal Clooney is one of the globe's most respected style muses.
The British lawyer, human rights activist and wife of George Clooney has perfected the balance between timeless and trendy, bringing her signature glamorous flair to every occasion, from the red carpet to her and her husband's luxurious hangout in Lake Como.
One thing the 47-year-old does particularly well is statement earrings.
The power of standout earrings knows no bounds, with the ability to instantly elevate an outfit and add personality. They're also perfect for necklines that may not require or suit a necklace, if maximum glamour is on the agenda.
Whether paired with a sleek updo or tumbling waves, they offer a super-easy way to transform even the simplest of looks. From bold avant-garde shapes to Old Hollywood diamond chandelier-like drops and classic cool-girl big old golds, statement earrings inject drama at any given moment.
Amal often turns to standout earrings to complement her elegant style - think oversized diamonds, cascading crystals, or sculptural coloured designs. Her choices effortlessly enhance her outfits, proving that picking the right pair can take an outfit to new levels of chic.
The best thing about Amal's pieces (along with the entirety of her wardrobe) is their ability to stand the test of the trend cycle.

Forget 'the bigger the better,' Amal proved that the longer the better is the way forward when it comes to elegant earpieces.
