King Charles hosted a slew of celebrities and renowned names at Buckingham Palace recently, to bestow honour on the winners of the King's National Trust Awards 2025.
And among the esteemed guests were human rights lawyer, activist and fashion icon Amal Clooney and her husband, movie star George Clooney.
And in a room adorned with masterpieces from history, Amal looked the perfect portrait of timeless elegance. Her look is a flawless blend of classic glamour and contemporary minimalism and firmly establishes her as a modern style icon.
We adore the twisted off-the-shoulder detail that modernises the midi silhouette and oozes understated luxury.

The clean lines and body-skimming fit showcase meticulous tailoring but in a laidback, almost nonchalant manner. It's refined and architectural but still sensual - without being overtly revealing.

In an age of maximalist red carpet moments, she often opts for restraint - much like fellow style icons Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy and Cate Blanchett, women whose sartorial impact lies in precision and poise rather than flashy statement.

For beauty, the lawyer is synonymous with cascading waves in her softly voluminous dark hair with sun-kissed highlights. (How many of us have taken a snap of Amal to the hairdressers in the vain hopes they can recreate her look on us?)
For makeup, Amal opted for a thick, clean glossy brow, lush thick lashes and a swipe of lipstick. Perfection.
