Amal Clooney's Polka Dots: Yes, Yes, 1,000 Times Yes!
Hunting down Amal Clooney's exact pieces is not always easy. The human rights activist and lawyer tends to shop vintage, and when she does style straight-from-the-runway duds, we're always overwhelmed to find brilliant tricks involved that help her construct looks that are all her own — sophisticated, but never stuffy; creative, but not over the top.
Naturally, when she stepped out in polka dots following a day of UN meetings in NYC, we were immediately invested in sourcing her very outfit. Amal's polka dots appeared to take the form of a button-front blazer with ruffles at the neckline and sleeves coordinated with a matching pencil skirt. But brought together by a leather tote bag, matching pumps, and elegant Le Vian diamond studs ($3,200), Amal's ensemble flowed as if it was a dress.
Whether you just can't get over the feminine frills on her top or you appreciate a row of buttons that lends a modest touch, we found plenty of Fall-appropriate designs that feel special and just a little more thrilling than your average day-to-day print — like something Amal would wear, of course.
