As any bride-to-be would know, the hunt for the perfect wedding dress has become increasingly more challenging with the blurring rules of what’s appropriate. See: everything and anything.
Yet, nine years after she walked down the aisle herself, Amal Clooney is making a case for your nuptial-inspired ensemble to be one you can re-wear, and is suitable for a steamy date night with your husband.
The barrister and humanitarian has no shortage of inspired date night looks, yet, it’s her most recent foray that is proving to be her most persuading. While out in Lake Como with her husband, George Clooney, the style savant has delivered a masterclass in matrimonial garms.
The pair were spotted out for dinner at Grand Hotel Tremezzo, a five-star restaurant a short speedboat ride away from the Clooney’s own Villa L’Oleandra, where the mother-of-two embraced the merits of newlywed bliss in a romantic ivory slip dress.
The 45-year-old was pictured, which you can see for yourself here, hand-in-hand with her husband, who complimented her silhouette in an equally spousal jet-black suit.
For the occasion, Clooney opted for a softly layered column dress featuring intricately twisted straps and a high-cut slit. Clearly, the temperature isn’t the only thing rising during these balmy Italian evenings, with Clooney’s thigh-grazing slit a sensual approach to keeping cool.
Clooney’s dress featured an underlayer of silk-like organza, creating this sultry-yet-ethereal appearance as the lightweight layers of material cascaded around her figure.
Over the top, a raw-edged handkerchief-like bodice, with idyllic lace and silk ruffles darting out from underneath her bust and accenting her midsection.
The remainder of her look was completed with a pair of nude peep-toe mules, a classic white minaudière clutch and droplet earrings.
With this wedding-inspired dress following the Clooney’s recent Studio 54-inspired silhouettes—sparkling outfits they donned for a Sicilian soirée—it’s clear the power couple is keeping their date night dress codes playful rather than pragmatic.
But we would be remiss to not suggest Clooney’s Lake Como look as the perfect dress for any bride seeking a dress that is low-key, effortlessly elegant and Amal Clooney-approved.
Who knows, perhaps this style will become the look du jour for brides having their own lavish Como weddings.
